No individual atom in the sample of 1 mole of Neon has a mass of 20.18 a.m.u. because it is ______?
No individual atom in the sample of 1 mole of Neon has a mass of 20.18 a.m.u. because it is ______?
Explanation
The mass of 20.18 a.m.u. is the average atomic mass of Neon, reflecting the weighted average of all its isotopes.
Individual atoms may have slightly different masses due to the presence of isotopes.
