What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu

Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.

Answer: Each ion, or atom, has a particular mass; similarly, each mole of a given pure substance also has a definite mass. The mass of one mole of atoms of a pure element in grams is equivalent to the atomic mass of that element in atomic mass units (amu) or in grams per mole (g/mol).

Who arranged the elements according to atomic mass and used the arrangement to predict the properties of missing element?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Dmitri Mendeleev

Explanation:

Dmitri Mendeleev a Russian Chemist arranged elements on the periodic table according to their atomic mass. He used this arrangement to predict some of the properties of the missing element.

  • Dmitri Mendeleev around 1869 described the periodic table.
  • The table was based on the periodic law which states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".
  • In the Mendeleev table, elements are arranged by atomic weights with recurring properties in a periodic manner.
