Best Answer

Matter is bound energy displacing space, the volume and density of displacement is the mass of the matter involved. Gravity is the attraction between matter displacing space, weight is measure of the force exerted by matter due to its gravitational attraction. Therefore the Atomic Mass of a collection of matter defines the gravitational attraction that matter will exert which will define the measurable weight of the matter in question.

What is the difference between the atomic number and the atomic weight of the known elements as listed on the periodic table?

The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which determines the element's identity. Atomic weight, or atomic mass, is the average weight of an element's isotopes, taking into account their abundance in nature. Atomic weight is a weighted average of the different isotopes for each element.


What element has 195 as the atomic mass?

Platinum has the atomic weight (not mass) 195,084.


Why is atomic mass of an element is an average mass?

The Atomic Mass of an element is the numerical average of all the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of that element proportionately. Man made elements do not count in supposedly. IE: If we have an element with atomic weight 100 and we have an isotope of that element with atomic weight 102 and if they occurred equally in nature then the Atomic Mass would be 101.


Average weight of an element expressed in atomic mass units?

The average weight of an element is expressed in atomic mass units (amu) and is calculated based on the relative atomic masses of the isotopes of that element weighted by their abundance in nature. This value can be found on the periodic table for each element. For example, the average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 amu.


An average of the masses of all the naturallly occurring isotopes of an element?

The weighted average for all isotopes that occur in nature for an element is its atomic weight listed on the Periodic Table of the elements.
