atomic mass number is a whole number (Give scientific reason)


surajsingh01082004: Mass number means the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
jasmeetkaur29: The total no. of proton and neutron in an atom is called mass no.
surajsingh01082004: Yes
surajsingh01082004: U don't understand?
jasmeetkaur29: Surajsingh01082004 Mr I know what is mass no.
surajsingh01082004: I mean U don't still get ur answer for Your Question?
surajsingh01082004: there can't be half proton( not any proton) in an atom.......every proton has 1 value each.( which is not fraction) ... So Mass no. is always a whole no.( starting from 0 to infinity)
surajsingh01082004: Or can you explain your Question ..plz :)
surajsingh01082004: and I said there is no. an atom which has mass no. as 0.....So I said that Mass number can't be whole no.( whole no includes 0)...I think Mass no. should be natural no. :)
surajsingh01082004: Sorry... If I could not make you understand .... I have to leave now. I'm late for my School . If you want I will make you understand when I return Back ..plz mail me if you wan to talk with me for explaination. :)

Atomic mass is never an integer number for several reasons: The atomic mass reported on a periodic table is the weighted average of all the naturally occuring isotopes. Being an average it would be most unlikely to be a whole number. The mass of an individual atom in atomic mass units is the mass relative to carbon-12.


surajsingh01082004: Was not he asking about mass number....you are answering about atomic mass......
alenkmathew200pe7h7n: hmmm but the reason of atomic mass number is because of atomic mass in physics
