Many elements have non-integral atomic m...

Many elements have non-integral atomic masses because

A

they have isotopes

B

their isotopes have non-intergral masses

C

their isotopes have different masses

D

the constituents, neutrons, protons and electrons combine to give rational masses

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Non-integral atomic masses are due to isotopes which have different masses.
So, (A) and (C ) are the correct answer.
