16. Average atomic mass is different from mass number because... O A. the average atomic mass describes the mass number of a single atom, but mass number describes the average of all exact masses among isotopes of an element. B. mass number describes the approximate mass of the nucleus of a single atom, but average atomic mass describes the weighted average of all the exact masses among isotopes of an element. mass number describes the exact mass of a single atom, but average atomic mass describes the average of all mass numbers. O D. mass number describes the approximate mass of the nucleus of a single atom, but average atomic mass describes the largest mass among isotopes of an element.
