Question

Calculate the atomic mass of Magnesium?​

Answer 1

»Symbol of magnesium is Mg

»Atomic mass of magnesium is 24

»Atomic number of magnesium is 12

» Magnesium is an alkali earth metal.

Answer 2

Atomic mass is the sum of number of protons and of neutrons.

Nitrogen contains twelve protons and twelve neutrons in it.

So, it's atomic mass is 24.

i.e.

Atomic Mass of Nitrogen = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

=> 12 + 12

=> 24 u

$\textbf{24 u is the Atomic Mass of}$

$\textbf{Magnesium.}$
