Question

"the atomic mass of an element is the number of times an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12" what it means

Answer 1

Answer:

It is the ratio of the average mass per atom of an element from a given sample to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom. In other words, a relative atomic mass tells you the number of times an average atom of an element from a given sample is heavier than one-twelfth of an atom of carbon-12.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

carbon is considered as a reference mass.

It is the mass of a single Carbon 12 atom taken as 12 u

and mass of an hydrogen atom is 1/12 u

from this mass of 12 amu(Atomic mass unit). The amu of remaining all other atoms is measured for eg mass of Calcium atom is 40 u then the atom is 40 times heavier than the Carbon 12 atom
