Atomic mass of Gold is 196.9665 u. The atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The atomic mass or relative isotopic mass refers to the mass of a single particle, and therefore is tied to a certain specific isotope of an element. Calculate the no of gold atom in 300mg of a gold ring of 20 carat gold (atomic mass of gold =197,pure gold is 24 carat) 2 See answers abhi178 abhi178 ∵ 300mgof a gold ring is 20 of 20 Carat. It means in 300 mg ring, 20 part is pure gold and 4 part is other metal. Gold is the third element in the eleventh column of the periodic table. It is classified as a transition metal. Gold atoms have 79 electrons and 79 protons with 118 neutrons in the most abundant isotope.
Isotope | Atomic mass (Da) | Isotopic abundance (amount fraction) |
