Neon lamps, is composed of 90.483% of 20ne, 0.271% of 21ne, and 9.253% of 22ne. the 20ne atoms have a mass of 19.992 u, 21ne ato

ms have a mass of 20.994 u, and those of 22ne have a mass of 21.991 u. calculate the average atomic mass of neon.

20.181 u

The average atomic mass of Ne is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,  

Avg. at. mass

= (0.904 83× 19.992 u) + (0.002 71 × 20.994) + (0.092 53× 21.991 u)

= 18.0894 u + 0.0569 u  + 2.0348 u = 20.181 u

Which balanced equation represents a fusion reaction?
lyudmila [28]

<span> </span><span>Fusion reaction is a type of nuclear reaction where two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. This happens when the collision is in a very high speed. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.</span>

Using the atomic masses and relative abundance of the isotopes of nitrogen given below, determine the average atomic mass of nit
mylen [45]
The formula for average atomic mass is :

mass of isotope A * % of isotope A + mass of isotope B * % of isotope B + ....

Now,
Here,
Average atomic mass of nitrogen = (14.003 * 99.63%) + (15.000 * 0.37%)
                                                 = (14.003 * 0.9963) + ( 15.000 * 0.0037)
                                                 = 13.951 + 0.056
                                                 = 14.007 a.m.u.
