Chemistry in Daily LifeWhat is the difference between mass number and atomic mass?
Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both relatively small. Because the mass of an electron is one, the mass number approximates the atomic mass.
O Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both approximately one. Because the
mass of an electron is also one, the mass number approximates the atomic mass.
O Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both approximately one. Because the mass of an electron is small relative to that of a proton or neutron, the mass exactly equals the atomic mass.
O Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both approximately one. Because the mass of an electron is small relative to that of a proton or neutron, the mass number approximates the atomic mass.
