What is the rounded atomic mass?
The atomic mass of an atom is the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom. When determining the number of neutrons, round the atomic mass to the nearest whole number. For example, the atomic mass of beryllium is 9.0112 so you would round that to 9.
How are the atomic masses on the periodic table determined?
To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons. The atomic mass of the atom is the mass of the protons plus the mass of the neutrons, 6 + 7, or 13.
What is the rounded atomic mass of iron?
55.845
The official atomic weight or relative atomic mass of iron is 55.845(2).
What is silicon’s atomic mass?
28.0855 u
Silicon/Atomic mass
How do you find rounded mass?
The mass number can be found by rounding the average atomic mass to the nearest whole number. For example, the average atomic mass of lithium is 6.941 amu. The mass number of lithium is 7 (6.941 rounds to 7).
What is the atomic mass of sulfur rounded?
32.07
You need to refer to a periodic table and look up the atomic weight of sulfur. You will find it to be 32.07 (rounded to four significant figures).
How do you find the atomic mass of an element in Class 9?
Mathematically, mass of one atom of an element = atomic mass X (1/12th) of the mass of one atom of carbon. atomic mass = mass of one atom of an element / (1/12th) of the mass of one atom of carbon.
What is the atomic mass of hydrogen rounded?
