What do you use atomic mass units for?
The atomic mass unit is 1/12 from the mass of the isotope 12C.
What two things does the atomic mass represent?
Atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The reason it is typically found in decimal form is because it is using the average number of neutrons, from all the different isotopes of that element.
What is the atomic mass unit of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 1.0079.
What does atomic number and relative atomic mass mean?
It's the mass of an atom expressed as a multiple of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom at rest. Please see the link.
Why do isotopes change the atomic mass of an element?
Isotopes of a element are simply versions of that same element with different count of neutron, with that in mind they take all of the isotopes of a specific element and average them together taking in account the percent abundance of each so the most common isotope is the one on the periodic table.
What is the atomic mass of Nitrogen and oxygen?
since the total is 68 we will subtract 42 to find the amount of oxygen which is 26. u can do this one of two ways
1- 42:26 is the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in the following compound, so no it is not nitrous oxide because 42/26 = 1.62 while 7/4 = 1.75 close but not it
What is the atomic mass for cerium?
The atomic mass for cerium is approximately 140.12 atomic mass units.
How tellurium and iodine show the periodic table is not arranged on basic of increasing atomic mass?
They show that the periodic table isn't arranged on the basis of increasing atomic mass because iodine has a mass lesser than tellurium. Iodine has a mass of 126.90 and tellurium has a mass of 127.60.
Where was the mass spectrometer made?
in russia
According to an Answers.com search for "Gustav Kirchhoff", the spectroscope was invented in Germany.
What element has a mass of 151.964 amu?
Ooooh, SO close..... Tungsten has an average atomic mass of 183.84, accordng to Webelements.com.
Well, to be precise, no atom has a fractional atomic mass; the fractional numbers are based on proportions of atoms with 74 protons and some varying number of neutrons from 106 to 112 neutrons. The most prevalent numbers are 110, 112, and 108 neutrons, in that order.
What element has the atomic mass of 56?
The element with an atomic number of 51 is Sb - Antimony; atomic weight = 121.75.
What element particles do you add together to get the atomic mass?
Addition of number of protons and neutrons.Mass of Electrons is neglected.
What is the atomic mass of aluminium hyroxide?
The atomic mass of hydroxide (rounding) is 17.008 atomic mass of oxygen 16.00 + atomic mass of hydrogen 1.008
The atomic mass of iron is 55.847 amu. Why isn't this value a whole number?
because it's an average of various isotopes, in proportion in which they exist in nature
What is the approximate atomic mass of magnesium Mg?
Magnesium is a meta element. Atomic mass of it is 24.
What happens at the atomic level when metal is subjected to pressure?
The metal cautions easily slide past one another.

What the atomic mass and the mass number of Mg?
The atomic number of magnesium is 12 and the mass number is 24.305
use the Periodic Table it gives you all the info you need :D
What is the average atomic mass of X when X has four isotopes?
There are multiple elements of the Periodic Table which have 4 isotopes. These are further broken down into three which have unstable isotopes, and 6 that do not decay. The 6 that are stable are strontium (Sr), lead (Pb), cerium (Ce), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr) and sulphur (S).
