Answer:

Relative and average atomic mass both describe properties of an element related to its different isotopes. However, relative atomic mass is a standardized number that's assumed to be correct under most circumstances, while average atomic mass is only true for a specific sample.

Atomic weight is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons. The stability of the nucleus, and hence the atom's radioactivity, is heavily dependent upon the number of neutrons it contains.

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:
T<span>etrafluoroethene (F</span>₂CCF₂<span>) undergoes polymerization describes the formation of Teflon.

Explanation:
Polymerization is the process in which small units called as monomers join together repeatedly and forms a long chain macro-molecule called as polymer.
In given question the monomer is Tetrafluoroethene because alkenes can undergo polymerization via Addition polymerization via following mechanism.
a) Free Radical Addition Reaction

b) Acid Catalyzed Addition Reaction

c) Base catalyzed Addition Reaction

The formation of Teflon from Tetrafluoroethene is shown below,</span>
