Is the total mass of all of the subatomic particles in the nucleic.
Relative Atomic Mass (Ar)
Is comparison of average mass of an atom to 1/12 mass of 12 C atom.
Difference about both:
- Mass Number : use integer form
- Relative Atomic Mass : able to use fraction number
Why average mass of an H atom is 1.008 amu , therefore mass number of Hidrogen isotopes are 1 , 2 , and 3
So, we get (1+2+3)/3 = 2 ?
because depend of abundance of each isotope in the nature environment
