Answer:
the 6 stands for the atomic number
the 12.01 stands for the atomic mass
Answer:
If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction
So, to determine the number of neutrons in atom, we only have to subtract the number of protons from the mass number. Take note that the nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons. And the number of particles present in the nucleus is referred as mass number (Also, called as atomic mass).
Answer: Amu is an atomic mass unit.
