\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
  • It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
  • For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
  • The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3><u>Relative </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
  • Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
  • For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
  • Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3><u>Average </u><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
  • While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
  • It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
  • In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
  • The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Pre-AP Chemistry, the development of models to explain their macroscopic observations is a primary means through which students develop an understanding of the molecular world.

You will be forced to think and apply concepts to new situations, and even derive your own theories from application. This is excellent preparation for the higher levels of thinking required in college.

Chemistry, the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes.
