Give the relation between atomic number and atomic mass of light elements?

Open in App

Solution

For light elements, Atomic mass is double the Atomic number
Atomic mass(A) = 2 x Atomic number(Z)
Therefore, can be written as A = 2Z (n=p)
Example :
Carbon (C) is a light element
Atomic number of Carbon = 6
Atomic mass of Carbon = 2 x 6 = 12 amu (amu =Atomic mass unit)
