Yes, it must be used as all elements have one or more isotopes and all elements have an Atomic Mass.

What element is used to find the atomic mass of all the elements?

Atomic mass of an element is calculated based on the mass of it's protons and neutrons. This is why we get isotopes. But I think you are talking about Carbon; the periodic table is based on 12.


How do you calculate the atomic mass of an element with different isotopes?

To calculate average atomic mass from different isotopes of an element, we take into account the relative atomic masses of isotopes and their relative abundance on Earth. The following formula is used to calculate the needful : atomic mass = mass of isotope x percent abundance + mass of isotope x percent abundance / 100 (whole expression divided by 100)


Why is the average atomic mass used when calculating grams of a substance?

the elements in the substance are mixtures of their isotopes


Atomic mass and atomic weight?

From the New World Encyclopedia, "Technically, atomic mass is equal to the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom (when the atom is motionless), plus the mass contained in the binding energy of the atom's nucleus."Mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Mass number varies with individual isotopes due to the fact that atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons.


What is often used in place of atomic weights?

Relative atomic masses are often used in place of atomic weights. They represent the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of an element relative to the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Atomic mass used in a sentence?

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of all the stable isotopes of the element (if it has any), weighted by the natural occurrence levels of the isotopes in the elements as found on earth or in the atmosphere.

What is the weighted average of the atomic masses of an element's naturally occurring isotopes is called the?

The weighted average of the atomic masses of an element's naturally occurring isotopes is called the atomic mass. This value takes into account the abundance of each isotope in nature when calculating the overall average atomic mass of the element.

Atomic weight or atomic mass used in stoichiometric calculations.

The relative abundance of each isotope of an element determines its?

The relative abundance of each isotope of an element is used to determine its atomic mass. This is the weighted average of all naturally occurring isotopes.


What does the relative atomic mass of an element tell us about the relative abundance of an isotope?

None. The relative abundance of isotopes is used to calculate the Average Mass (by multiplying the Atomic Mass of the isotopes by their relative abundancies and adding the products together) while the Atomic Mass is simply the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.

How is the average mass number of an element is determained?

The atomic number (the mass) of an element is determined by finding the masses of the isotopes of that element, adding them all together, and dividing by the number of isotopes. (The Atomic number is the average of all the masses.)


What deos atomic mass mean?

After the IUPAC rules, Atomic Mass is an expression used only for the mass of isotopes (in atomic mass units).
