Answer:

The atom of carbon weighs more

Explanation:

we have

Atom of carbon weighs


1.99*10^(-22)\ g=1.99*10^(-22)((10^(5))/(10^(5)))=199,000*10^(-22)((1)/(10^(5)))=199,000*10^(-27)\ g

Atom of hydrogen weighs


1.67*10^(-27)\ g

Compare


199,000*10^(-27)\ g > 1.67*10^(-27)\ g

therefore

The atom of carbon weighs more
