Relative atomic masses are measured in?

Atomic mass is measured in a unit called an "atomic mass unit". This unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom at ground state.An atomic mass unit is approximately 1.66053886 x 10-27 kg.Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and Daltons.

Why are gram formula masses called relative masses?

They are called relative masses because all of the masses of the elements are measured relative to the mass of an isotope of carbon called carbon-12. Carbon-12 has been assigned a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units. One atomic mass unit has an actual value of 1.660538782(83)×10^−27 kg.

How were the atomic number and the atomic masses of the elements determined?

Atomic masses are determined by mass spectrometry. The atomic number is identic with the number of protons in the atom - depends on position in the periodic table.


The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its?

The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes (that is a weighted average). You have to take into account the abundance of each isotope when they do your averaging.
