The names of the elements had originated from different sources in different ways. Some of them are discussed here. For example,
The extremely small sizes of atoms are exceedingly impractical to work with; special measuring units have been devised to determine the dimension of atoms in terms of mass. The mass or weight of an atom can be computed in the following ways.
Mass of the AtomExperiments have determined that the mass of an atom is very small, ranging from 1.7x10-24 g to about 4.0x10-22 g. It is very difficult to accurately weigh a bunch of atoms, as they are extremely light, small, and invisible; they weigh too little for us to express their masses in grams or kilograms. As a consequence, it is necessary to reduce the atomic masses into simple figures. Atomic MassAn indirect method to determine the absolute mass of an atom has been devised. The mass of a particular atom is taken as a standard unit and the masses of other atoms are related to this standard. Hydrogen being the lightest element and being the smallest atom was chosen and assumed to have a mass of 1. An atom of hydrogen was assigned an atomic mass equal to one atomic mass unit (a.m.u). The number does not signify the mass of an atom in grams. It is just a pure number. The masses of atoms of other elements were compared to that of hydrogen, in order to find their atomic mass relative to it. If one atom of sulphur weighs as much as 32 atoms of hydrogen, then the relative atomic mass of sulphur is 32 a.m.u. Atomic Mass UnitThe mass of 1/12th 12C isotope of carbon is now the standard used for defining one atomic mass unit (a.m.u). It is equal to 1.66 x 10-24 g. Atomic Mass of an Element or Relative Atomic MassThe atomic mass of an element is a relative quantity and is the mass of one atom of the element relative to the mass of one carbon-12 atom. Thus,Relative atomic mass (RAM) of an element is the number of times one atom of an element is heavier than 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon [C-12].For example, if 1 atom of Na weighs as much as 23 parts of isotopes, then the atomic mass of sodium is 23 a.m.u.
Remember:
Atomic Mass Unit ScaleThe scale in which the relative atomic masses of different atoms are expressed is called atomic mass unit scale.Atomic masses are not expressed as whole numbers because natural elements are mixtures of two or more isotopes. The atomic weight of chlorine is 35.43 amu. Chlorine exists as two isotopes in the ratio 3:1
Therefore average atomic masses are not whole numbers.
Gram Atomic Mass (GAM)The atomic mass of an element expressed in grams is called the gram atomic mass of an element. It is also called gram atom.Example: The gram atoms present in 46 grams of sodium
Atom is a word of Greek, not Latin, origin. It comes from the words "a" (not) and "temnein" (to cut) as the Greeks believed that atoms were the smallest particles of matter in the universe.
Ego IS a Latin word. It is the Latin for I.
The Latin word for siblings is fratribus. The Latin word for sister is soror, while the Latin word for brother is frater.
The Latin word for "after" is post.
When you ask the Latin word for false I assume you mean the word "no". In Latin the word "no" is "minime".
