atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of  isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of  isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u

Describe how spead, velocity and<br> brcoloration are related.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.

I am one of the elements. I am a soft representative metal, and you can cut me with a knife, but watch out because I am highly r
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

From the given riddle. Potassium is the right answer. This because on the periodic table, potassium has the smallest atomic number of any element in its period with the electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1, it has the largest atomic radius within its group because the radius has no d-electron shell filled. Potassium is a soft metal but contains high reactivity.

An atom of aluminum (Al) has an atomic number of 13 and a mass number of 27. How many neutrons does it have? O A. 27 O B. 40 O C
Allisa [31]

Answer:

C. 14

Explanation:

The mass number is the number of protons + neutrons and the atomic number is the number of protons.

If the mass number is 27, you subtract the atomic number, 13.

27 - 13 = 14 neutrons
