The average atomic mass of her sample is 114.54 amu
Let the 1st isotope be A
Let the 2nd isotope be B
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Abundance of isotope A (A%) = 59.34%
- Mass of isotope A = 113.6459 amu
- Mass of isotope B = 115.8488 amu
- Abundance of isotope B (B%) = 100 – 59.34 = 40.66%
- Average atomic mass =?
The average atomic mass of the sample can be obtained as follow:
Thus, the average atomic mass of the sample is 114.54 amu

Answer:carbon-14 levels in the atmosphere
Explanation:
When carrying out radiocarbon dating, the level of carbon-14 in a sample is compared with the level of carbon 14 in the atmosphere because, objects exchange carbon-14 with the atmosphere.
Comparison of the activities of carbon-14 in the atmosphere and in the sample gives the age of the sample since the half-life of carbon-14 is a constant.
Answer:
An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
Explanation:
The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.
This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.
Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.
Answer:
The Aufbau Principle simply helps us determine electron configuration of an atom by stating that in the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons fill subshells of the lowest available energy level, then they fill subshells of higher energy level. For example, the 1s subshell is filled before the 2s subshell is occupied. Now, when trying to figure out the electron configuration of a calcium, you need to know its atomic number to determine its amount of total electrons. Calcium has an atomic number of 20, which means it has 20 protons and 20 electrons. First remember that the "s" subshell only holds 2 electrons, the "p" subshell only hold 6 electrons, and the "d" subshell only holds up to 10 electrons. Using the Aufbau principle below, we can determine that the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. Since the 3s is now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the next six electrons. We now go to the 4s orbital where we place the remaining two electrons. With this, the calcium electron configuration will be:
