Answer:

The atomic mass on the periodic table is a decimal number because it is an average of the different isotopes of an element.

P.S.

An isotope is each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is 2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2$
