Define relative atomic mass.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On the basis of carbon, the relative atomic mass of element is defined as the ratio of mass of one atom of the element to the mass of 1/12th mass of one atom ofCarbon-12.
Relative atomic mass=`("Mass of one atom of an element")/("Mass of 1/12th mass of one atom of Carbon-12")`
=`("Mass of one atom of an element")/(1.6605xx10^(-27)kg)`
