(e) explain the term isotopes as atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons and different masses; Relative masses (f) state that 12C is used as the standard measurement of relative masses; (g) define the terms relative isotopic mass and relative atomic mass, based •For simple molecules, the term relative molecular mass will be on the 12C scale; used. (h) calculate the relative atomic mass of an element given the relative •For compounds with giant structures, the term relative formula abundances of its isotopes; mass will be used. (i) use the terms relative molecular mass and relative formula mass and calculate values from relative atomic masses. How Science Works 3:
