How can the periodic table of elements be used to compare the atomic mass of different elements?
The periodic table does not provide information on the atomic mass of elements.
Atomic mass cannot be compared between elements using the periodic table.
Elements on the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, so you can compare the atomic mass of different elements by their positions on the table.
Atomic mass is a constant value for all elements, so there is no need to compare it.
