what is the mass of an atom of antimony compared with that of an oxygen atom?
Answers
Antimony is a chemical element represented by the symbol Sb. It has has an atomic mass of 121.757.
Oxygen is also a naturally occuring element represented by the symbol 0. It has an atomic mass of 15.9994
Some people to round off the number and show the atomic mass of Oxygen as 16, but that is completely wrong.
It should also be noted that time Antimony can be found within the earth's crust, Oxygen is a far more abundant element.
Antimony has the atomic symbol Sb and it's atomic number is 51. Antimony's atomic mass is 121.76 atomic mass units. It is a solid in it's normal phase and it belogns to the family of metalloids. It is used in paints, ceramics, enamel, electronics, rubber etc.
Oxygen has the atomic symbol O. It's atomic mass is 15.999 u and it's atomic number is 8. It's a non metal and it is highly reactive. It is also a good axydizing agent.
Antimony clearly has a large mass as compared to oxygen.
