The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them.
Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu
As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
When hydrogen is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom.
- Highly electronegative atoms attract shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, resulting in a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom. The slightly positive hydrogen atom is then attracted to another electronegative atom, forming a hydrogen bond.
It's not, if it were it would be ice. The water is a bit warmer.
