The solution to relative atomic mass: If the atomic number of an element is given you know what the proton is; the same as the atomic number. if that element is neutral you also know that the number of electrons is the same. but if you are only given the atomic number is it possible to find out what the atomic mass is?
In this post, we are providing solutions to some questions on chemistry on particulates Nature Of Matter.
If you are using an essential textbook go to page 65 of your essential textbook you will see the questions there. We solve some of the questions that will think most students have issues with.
