Many elements have non-integral atomic masses becauseA. They have isotopesB. Their isotopes have non-integral massesC. Their isotopes have different massesD. The constituents , neutrons , protons and electrons, combine to given fractional masses

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
Because they have isotopes with different masses. Their average atomic mass is the weighted mean of their presence in nature , e.g., `Cl^35` and `Cl^37` are present in ratio 3:1.
So, `A=(35xx3+37xx1)/4 =35.5`
