How come the relative atomic mass can be a fraction?

The relative atomic mass is the mean mass of the isotopes of an element. Since, by definition, these have different numbers of neutrons, their masses are different. This results in fractional values.

Where can you find atomic numbe rand atomic mass in the symbol of element?

In the symbol of an element, the atomic number (representing the number of protons in the nucleus) is typically found as a subscript to the left of the element symbol. The atomic mass (representing the average mass of the element's isotopes) is usually found as a superscript to the left of the element symbol.


What is the difference between atomic mass and average atomic mass?

Atomic mass refers to the mass of an individual atom of a specific element, while average atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of an element, taking into account their relative abundance in nature. Average atomic mass is usually listed on the periodic table, while atomic mass is specific to a single isotope.


What is the fraction in calculating the average atomic weight of an element?

The fraction represents the abundance of each isotope of the element. It is calculated by multiplying the fractional abundance of each isotope by its atomic mass, then summing these products to obtain the average atomic weight.
