Understanding the Atoms
* Hydrogen (H): The most common isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Its atomic mass is approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu).
* Ununoctium (Uuo): This is a synthetic element with an atomic number of 118. Its most stable isotope has an atomic mass of approximately 294 amu.
Calculating the Mass Ratio
To find the mass ratio, divide the mass of the ununoctium atom by the mass of the hydrogen atom:
Mass ratio = (Mass of Uuo) / (Mass of H)
Mass ratio = 294 amu / 1 amu
Mass ratio = 294
Therefore, the mass ratio of an ununoctium atom to a hydrogen atom is approximately 294:1. This means an ununoctium atom is about 294 times heavier than a hydrogen atom.
