Unit of Relative atomic mass
It has no unit
What does relative atomic mass indicate
How many times is the atom of an element heavier than 1/12th of the mass of C-12 atom
Formula of RAM
mass of one atom of an element/ 1/12th mass of one C-12 atom OR Atomic mass x amu / amu
True or false : C-12 is an isotope of carbon
True
What is the device which was used to calculate mass of 1 C-12 atom?
Mass spectrometer
What is the mass of one C-12 atom?
1.992648 x 10^-23 gm
1 atomic mass unit = _______gm
1.67 x 10^-24 gm or 1.67 x 10^-27 kg
1 atomic mass unit = _______ ( in terms of mass of C-12 atom)
1/12th mass of one C-12 atom
Atomic mass definition
Mass of one atom of an element expressed in amu.
Atomic mass of H
1.008 amu
RAM of H
1
Atomic mass
RAM X 1 amu
Molecular mass
Relative molecular mass x amu
Actual mass ( 1st )
RAM x 1.67 x 10^-24 gm
Actual mass ( 2nd )
RAM X amu ( same as atomic mass/molecular mass)
Atomicity definition
No. of atoms in 1 molecule of an element/compound
