What is atomic mass ? and give the atomic mass of Helium.
Answers
A property closely related to an atom's mass number is its atomic mass. The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu.
Helium-3, also written as 3He, is a light isotope of helium having 2 protons but only one neutron and an atomic mass of 3.
Answer:
Atomic Number = Number of protons
Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Atomic mass is the sum of number of protons and of neutrons.
Helium contains two protons and two neutrons in it.
So, it's atomic mass is
i.e.
=> 2 + 2
=> 4 u (amu)
• Atomic Mass of Neon is 4 u
