Crystalline materials have fixed relative locations of atoms due to their orderly arrangement in a repeating pattern. Examples include salt (NaCl) and diamonds. Glass, on the other hand, does not have a fixed atomic structure like crystals and is considered amorphous.

How relative atomic mass of an atom can be determined?
The relative atomic mass of an atom can be determined by averaging the masses of its isotopes based on their abundance in nature. This value is reported relative to the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which has been assigned a relative atomic mass of exactly 12.ø
What is the difference between relative isotopic mass and relative atomic mass?
Atomic Mass is the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.Relative atomic mass is the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.Relative isotopic mass is the mass of an atom of an isotope of an element compared with one-twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12.Thus an element will have ONE Relative Atomic Mass but there may be MANY individual Relative Isotopic Masses for an Element (depending on how many Isotopes it has).
What information does the percent composition in an atom in a molecule give?
The relative amount of mass an atom contributes to a molecule
What is the name of the location of where the neutrons and protons are in an atom?
They are found in the atom's nucleus.
How big are the parts of the atom compared to the whole atom?
The nucleus of an atom is very small compared to the size of the whole atom. The nucleus makes up only a tiny fraction of the atom's total volume, while the rest of the atom (which is mostly empty space) is occupied by the electron cloud.
What are the materials in which the reletive location of the atom is fixed?
Crystals.

How do you identify the relative mass the relative charge and location of the three smaller subatomic particles of an atom?
protons --- rel. mass 1 amu, rel. charge +1, location in the nucleus. neutrons --- rel. mass 1 amu, rel. charge 0, location in the nucleus. electrons --- rel. mass 0 amu, rel. charge -1, location outside the nucleus.
How do you identify the relative mass relaitive charge and location of the three smaller subatomic particle of an atom?
The three smaller subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons have a relative mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu) and a relative charge of +1 for protons and 0 for neutrons. Electrons have a very small mass relative to protons and neutrons and a relative charge of -1. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron shells.

the location of an atom where protons and neutrons are located is called?
Within an atom the protons and neutrons are located at the center of the atom, the location is called the nucleus.
Is the nucleus of an atom made of neutrons and electrons?
No. The atom has neutrons and protons in the nucleus while the electrons are found in a "cloud" around the nucleus. That means that have no real fixed location like the planets do around the sun.
Do electrons have a fixed position?
Electrons do not have a fixed position. According to the principles of quantum mechanics, electrons exist as a cloud of probability around the nucleus of an atom, rather than having a specific location. This cloud represents the likelihood of finding the electron in a particular region of space.
