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 mass of an atom is the?
The atomic mass of an atom is the mass of 6.011 X 10^23 atoms of that element.
What do you have when you subtract the atomic no from atomic mass?
Atomic number is number of protons in an atom while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom when you subtract you will get the number of neutrons in an atom.
What does the atomic mass tell you?
It tells you the average amount of protons and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. In other words, atomic mass - atomic number (protons)= the number of neutrons within the nucleus.
What is relationship between atomic mass and average atomic mass?
The average atomic mass is the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. It is, the mass of an atom of the substance, rescaled so that carbon-12 would have a mass of 12.
Standard atomic mass?
The mass of carbon -12 atom is known as standard atomic mass
What does the atomic mass tell you about the atom?
The Atomic Mass of an element tells you the average mass of an atom in the element.
What do the atomic number and the mass number tell you about the atom?
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
What do the atomic number and mass number tell you about the atom?
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
What do the atomic number and atomic mass tell you about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for atomic mass.
What is relative atomic mass and how it is related with gram?
when atomic mass of an element expressed in gram atom is called gram atom mass . and formula is number of gram atom=given mass (in gram) by atomic mass ( in gram )
What is the atomic mass of an atom with 5 electrons?
you can't tell the atomic mass of an atom if either the number of protons or neutrons is missing. But Boron with 5 protons and 6 neutrons has and atomic mass of 11.
What do the atomic number and mass number tell about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for Atomic Mass.
What do the atomic number and mass number tell you about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for Atomic Mass.
What does the atomic mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
What does the atomic mass number an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
How do you tell how many neutrons are in an atom with the atomic number of 12?
To find the number of neutrons in an atom with an atomic number of 12 (which is the number of protons), you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass number. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom. For an atom with an atomic number of 12, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting 12 from the atomic mass number given for that specific atom.
What information does an atom mass give you?
The mass of an atom gives you an idea of how heavy it is in relation to other atoms. It is the total mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. The atomic mass is typically measured in atomic mass units (amu).
