Tampa Electric bills remain 12% below the national average. Like all regulated utilities in the state, Tampa Electric's rates and charges are approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC).In September 2013, the PSC approved an increase to Tampa Electric's base rates and service charges.The new rates went into effect in November 2013 and are being phased in over three years, including increases of $7.5 million and $5 million in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.It also includes a $110 million increase when the expansion of the Polk Power Station is complete, expected in January 2017.he new rates went into effect in November 2013 and are being phased in over three years, including increases of $7.5 million and $5 million in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Why is the atomic mass of a element not a whole number like its atomic number and mass number? An element's atomic mass is not an integer (a whole number) because it is the average mass of all of the element's isotopes (elements that have different amounts of neutrons e â¦ ffecting the mass number of an element). For example, oxygen has 16.01 as its atomic mass.
An atom of Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, it is given an atomic mass of 12 a.m.u which makes each proton and neutron in the nucleus of any element contribute 1 a.m.u to the atom's atomic mass.Answer #5). Atomic mass is an element's mass that is the sum of masses of protons and neutrons forming an element. The easiest way to determine the atomic mass is to look up in the periodic table. In a periodic table, the atomic masses increase as you go across the table.
