As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Ruthenium. But how do we know how much does a Ru atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Ru, we can open any periodic table and search for Ruthenium.
In the case of Ruthenium the answer is 101,07. However there is a lot of funny facts about Ruthenium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
