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

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Scientist propose explanations that can be explained by examining evidence

Explanation:

A scientists makes an hypotheses based on possible natural processes to explain the origin and/or the nature of the characteristics of a natural observation. The scientist then source more data and information to put their hypotheses to test. Due to the fact that an hypotheses is based on observable  processes and/or mechanisms, the given hypotheses can be further tested by other scientists through the use of their individually sourced data. From the result of the assessment, the hypotheses can be either accepted or rejected to enable the better clarification of the hypotheses when accepted or the development of a new hypotheses when rejected.

Which of these best describes heat transfer through conduction?
kozerog [31]

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe
