relative atomic mass

Cards (5)

  • how to calculate the relative atomic mass
    mass number of isotope 1 x percent abundance + mass number of isotope 2 x percent abundance / 100
  • isotope are atoms with the same amount of protons but different amount of neutrons
  • abundance
    how common each isotope is
  • isotopic mass
    the average mass of all isotopes of a specific element
  • relative atomic mass
    the average mass of atoms of an element relative to the mass of an atom of carbon -12
