Which element is used as a standard for comparing atomic and molecular masses? |
|
Answer» is used as a standard for comparing atomic and molecular masses. At first, researchers acquired the nuclear masses of the considerable number of COMPONENTS by comparing it with the mass of hydrogen which is taken as 1. In all the CASES, the ISSUE was that the nuclear masses of the majority of the components turned out to be fractions. When the same procedure was repeated with carbon standard values were obtained. In this manner, “carbon” is considered as the reference for standard for comparing atomic and molecular masses. |
