Answer Key : (a,c) -

(a,c)

Most of the elements are found in nature as a mixture of isotopes which have different atomic masses. Therefore, the atomic mass of any element is the average of the atomic masses of isotopes of that element

Example:

Given that the abundance of isotopes  and  is 5%, 90% and 5% respectively, the atomic mass of  is calculated as follows:

Atomic mass of iron =



Next Question :

The isotone(s) of  is/are

a)

b)

c)

d)
