Question

Distinguish between relative atomic mass and absolute atomic mass

Answer 1

Answer:

Relative atomic mass is the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. Atomic mass is just the mass of atoms in an element BUT they are not necessarily the same mass so we get Chlorine as 35.453 u ± 0.002 u!

Answer 2

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass is the mass which is taken out after comparing the mass of element with that of 1/12th of carbon 12.

Absolute mass is the sum of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of atom.
