Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The atomic mass (in amu) of one atom for sodium is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

According to the periodic table, the atomic number of an atom is the equal to the number of protons. On the other hand, the atomic mass of an atom is the sum of the number of neutrons and protons. The atomic mass unit that is amu is equal to $\text{gram}/\text{mol}$.
