MCQ
Atomic mass of an element is:
  • A
    Actual mass of one atom of the element.
  • B
    Average mass of an atom of different atoms of the element.
  • C
    Always a whole number.
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

  1. Average mass of an atom of different atoms of the element.

Explanation:

Atomic mass is an average mass of different atoms of an element, as most elements have different isotopes. Atomic mass is usually not a whole number. It can be a fraction.
