12. The number 12 refers to the Atomic Mass. More precisely, to the sum of neutrons + protons; but this is usually close to the atomic mass. In the case of carbon-12, it is exact, by definition.
The atomic mass is the mass of a molecule, atomic particle or sub-atomic particle.
Cobalt is an atomic mass of 58.93 atomic mass units
== The equation of atomic mass is protons+nuetrons== atomic mass. ===
The atomic mass unit is not a SI unit. An atomic mass unit is equal to 1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope 12C.
Atomic number 6, atomic mass 12.
The atomic mass scale is sometimes referred to as the relative atomic mass scale because it is a scale that compares the mass of atoms of different elements to the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which is assigned a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units. By comparing the masses of atoms relative to carbon-12, scientists can determine the relative masses of different elements.
Carbon's atomic mass is ~12.0107. All of those decimals at the end tell us that there is more than one isotope of carbon. If you round the number, you will find the most common isotope of carbon. (Carbon12)IUPAC recommend in this case the expression atomic weight, not atomic mass.The atomic weight of carbon (IUPAC Table, 2009) is [12,0096; 12,0116]. This mean that the atomic weight is variable between the above mentioned limits, depending on the type of the sample.
The standard for atomic mass unit is called the unified atomic mass unit or dalton (symbol: u or Da). It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
The atomic weight of an element on the periodic table is typically found below the element's symbol. It is usually a decimal number that represents the average atomic mass of all the isotopes of that element found in nature. It is also known as the atomic mass.
The 12 in Carbon-12 designates the isotope which has an atomic mass of 12. This is the most abundant isotope of carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, therefore it has 6 protons. Carbon 12, therefore has 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 is another isotope of carbon, still having 6 protons, but has 8 neutrons, so it has an atomic mass of (6 + 8 = 14). See related link for more information on carbon isotopes.
Atomic no.=no. of protons Atomic mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons Hence, atomic mass is greater
The atomic mass is the mass of a molecule, atomic particle or sub-atomic particle.
Atomic mass.
The atomic mass of silver is approximately 107.87 atomic mass units.
The atomic mass of aluminum is approximately 26.98 atomic mass units.
Cobalt has a lower atomic mass than nickel. The atomic mass of cobalt is around 58.9 atomic mass units, while the atomic mass of nickel is around 58.7 atomic mass units.
The atomic mass unit is used to express the measure of the atomic mass.
