Atomic mass used in a sentence?
The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of all the stable isotopes of the element (if it has any), weighted by the natural occurrence levels of the isotopes in the elements as found on earth or in the atmosphere.
What does 12 b m s mean?
It means 12 Bohr Magnetons, a unit for dipole moment used in atomic chemistry.
What is the atomic mass?
See the Web Links for "Answers.com: Atomic mass" to the bottom for the answer. Atomic mass refers to the weight of an atom when compared to aribitary figure that is relative to other atoms.The unit used is 1/12 the weight of a carbon atom (the most prolific around). Atomic mass is used to avoid using very small numbers that would otherwise result if you try to physically weigh an atom.Note that atomic mass is not the same thing as atomic weight. See the Related Question to the left for more information.
What unit are nucleus measured in?
Atomic mass unit; protons and neutrons both weigh about 1 amu1 amu equals approximately [1 gram / (6.023 * 1023)] = 1.66 * 10-24 gramsThe angstrom (symbol Å) is often used to measure distances at the atomic scale.1 angstrom = 10-10 meter, or 0.1 nanometer
What units do you use to mass?
The international unit for mass is the kilogram. 1000 kilograms = 1 ton (metric ton, to avoid confusions); 1/1000 of a kilogram is a gram. Smaller units include the microgram and the nanogram. Non-standard units include the pound, the atomic mass unit, and the electron-volt (an energy unit; this really means electron-volt / c2). In astronomy, multiples of the mass of our Earth or our Sun are also used, especially for comparisons. For example, the black hole at the center of our galaxy is said to have 4 million solar masses - i.e., 4 million times the mass of our Sun.
