They are NOT normally arranged by Atomic Mass; instead they are arranged in the Periodic Table by their atomic number. The latter is the number of protons (or electrons) in a single atom of the element and it is a constant for the element. The atomic mass is an average of the isotopes of the element (in proportion to their abundance).
While the atomic number is always an integer, increases in steps of 1 and elements that are a specific "distances" apart share similar chemical characteristic. On the other hand the atomic mass is rarely an integer, and occasionally it reverses the order laid out be the periodic table: for example, element 18, argon has an atomic mass of 39.948 which is greater than that of element 19, potassium with a mass of 39.098: this is because the predominant isotope of argon has 22 neutrons while that for potassium has 20 neutrons.

What is the relationship btw atomic mass and atomic mass number?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
What elements atomic mass is 18.99?
Fluorine
Why is the atomic mass number not a whole number?
We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
What is the mass of one mole of Al2O3 if aluminum has an atomic number of 13 and an atomic mass of 26.98 and oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass of 16.00?
The mass of one mile of a compound is found by adding up the atomic masses of each of the component elements. A mole of Al2O3 has mass of 2 × 26.98 + 3 × 16.00 = 101.96g
What is the atomic mass-?
The atomic mass is the mass of a molecule, atomic particle or sub-atomic particle.
How were the elements in the periodic table arranged?
By Atomic Mass
Are the elements on a periodic table arranged in order of decreasing atomic mass?
No. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
How were the elements arranged in the periodic table?
By Atomic Mass
Mendeleev arranged the elements in his periodic table in order of?
Mendeleev arranged the elements in his periodic table in order of increasing atomic mass while also grouping elements with similar properties together. His periodic table laid the foundation for the modern periodic table we use today.
How were the elements in the first periodic table arranged?
by Atomic Mass
Did Mendeleev organize the elements by atomic mass or atomic number?
Mendeleev organized the elements by atomic mass. It was later discovered that organizing them by atomic number created a more accurate and logical periodic table.
The elements in Period 5 on the Periodic Table are arranged from left to right in order of?
Elements are arranged in order of their Proton Number/Electron Number. they are NOT arranged in Atomic Mass , because a given element my have isotopes, which alters the Atomic Mass.
In what order did Mendeleev arrange the elements in the first periodic table?
Mendeleev arranged the elements in the periodic table according to their atomic masses.
How was moseleys periodic table arranged?
Compared to Mendeleev's periodic table which was arranged my atomic mass, Moseley's was, however, arranged by atomic number.
How did Mendeleev and Moseley use the chemical and physical properties of elements to assist in arranging the elements into the periodic table?
Moseley arranged elements according to atomic number.Mendeleev arranged elements according to atomic mass.
What does the atomic number and atomic mass have to do with the arrangement of the elements on the periodic table?
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
Which scientist arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number rather than increasing atomic mass?
Henry Moseley arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number rather than increasing atomic mass, which led to the modern periodic table.
