Question

1. which is larger?

a) atomic mass
b) atomic number

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, which is the sum of protons, neutrons, and electrons (electrons' mass is negligible). Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For example, hydrogen has an atomic number of 1 and an atomic mass of approximately 1.008 (due to the presence of neutrons in some isotopes). In general, atomic mass is larger than atomic number as it accounts for protons and neutrons.

Answer:

a) Atomic Mass
