  • Sulfur vs. Carbon: Atomic Mass Comparison & Weight Difference
    Here's how to figure out how much heavier a sulfur atom is compared to a carbon atom:

    1. Atomic Masses:

    * Carbon (C): 12.011 atomic mass units (amu)

    * Sulfur (S): 32.065 amu

    2. Calculation:

    Divide the atomic mass of sulfur by the atomic mass of carbon:

    32.065 amu / 12.011 amu ≈ 2.67

    Answer: A sulfur atom is approximately 2.67 times heavier than a carbon atom.
