Answer: Atomic mass is associated with the number of neutrons and protons that are present in a particular nucleus of an element. Atomic number is usually the number of protons present in an element's nucleus. It is the average weight of an element. It is the total number of nucleons in the atom's nucleus.

Assuming there were errors in atomic masses, Mendeleev placed certain elements not in order of increasing atomic mass so that they could fit into the proper groups (similar elements have similar properties) of his periodic table.

  • Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.
  • Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
  • prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.
