Q

A
A= #protons + #neutrons
1
Q
What is atomic mass?
A
Average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a particular element expressed in AMUS
2
Q
It is also called…
A
…relative atomic mass, atomic weight or gram atomic mass.
3
Q
What’s an isotope?
A
Same element, with same atomic number but different mass number
4
Q
In the average atomic mass…how do we get the mass of each atom?
A
Taking the following formula:
n°x1.007
Then the problem by law will give us the abundance of each isotope.
And then we need to follow:
Abundance x mass, and plus the isotopes results.
