Question
Define: Relative atomic mass
Advertisements
Solution 1
Relative atomic mass— Relative atomic mass is the mass of an atom of an element as a multiple of the standard atomic mass unit.
Solution 2
The relative atomic mass of an element is the ratio between the average mass of its isotopes to 1/12th part of the mass of a carbon – 12 atoms. It is denoted as Ar.
Relative atomic mass = `" Average mass of the isotopes of the element"/(1"/"12^{"th"}" of the mass of one Carbon- 12 atom")`
