The Atomic Mass is the average mass of an atom of an element, taking into account all its isotopes and their relative abundance. The mass number, on the other hand, is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Atomic mass is given in atomic mass units (amu), while mass number is a whole number.
83.98 amu is the Atomic Mass, 36 is the atomic number.
No, the atomic mass is not equal to the atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic mass can differ from the atomic number, especially due to the presence of neutrons.
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
The atomic mass of carbon is about 12.01 atomic mass units. The atomic number of carbon is 6, indicating the number of protons in its nucleus.
There is no element with an atomic number of 12 and an atomic mass of 8. Atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom, while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of an element cannot be smaller than its atomic mass.
