Answer

(a) The number of times one atom of an element is heavier than 112\dfrac{1}{12} th the mass of an atom of carbon [C12] is known as the Relative Atomic Mass [RAM] of the element.

RAM = Mass of one atom of the element 112th the mass of an atom of carbon \dfrac{\text{Mass of one atom of the element }}{\dfrac{1}{12} \text{th the mass of an atom of carbon }}

(b) Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon single bond are known as alkanes. They are also known as paraffins and have the general formula as CnH2n+2
