27
Q

why is the atomic mass not a whole number

A

1) the mass of the proton and neutron in different elements differ slightly
2) the atomic mass is an average of all the isotopes of the element and their frequency

28
Q

isotope

A

atoms of the same element with different masses because they have different numbers of neutrons
