Question

What do you understand from the statement “relative atomic mass of sulphur is 32”?

Answer 1

• Relative atomic mass is defined as the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
• “Relative atomic mass of sulphur is 32”-This means that the atomic mass of sulphur is 32 times heavier as compared to 1/12 of the mass of one atom of carbon-12.
