the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties. The atomic mass (or atomic weight) of an element reflects the average mass of its isotopes, considering both protons and neutrons. In general, the atomic number is a whole number without units, while atomic mass is usually expressed in atomic mass units (amu).
The atomic mass listed in the periodic table is the weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of an element, taking into account their abundance in nature. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and provides an average value that reflects the isotopic distribution of the element.
The periodic table was first organized by atomic mass. However, after the discovery of isotopes and inconsistencies around this method, it was later rearranged based on atomic number, which reflects the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
Atomic no.=no. of protons Atomic mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons Hence, atomic mass is greater
The atomic mass is the mass of a molecule, atomic particle or sub-atomic particle.
