I always wondered why atomic weights weren't integers...when the atomic value always is pure (number of protons, whole number only). But I read to understand it in high school as a mean, or combined number basically....the average of the isotopic variants as found on EARTH. The number could vary on other planets or with subsequent observations of ratios of atomic isotopes (different number of neutrons) as they occur in the wild. Is that the gist of it still, or was I way off why they're like that on periodic table?
i rly understood ur way of teaching....ur grt sir~
Thank you I understand better than my teacher
Sir , how can calculate moleculer mass,,
