The 4th energy level (row), 's' orbital block, 2nd group (column). The valence electrons are found in the highest energy level of the electron configuration in the 's' and 'p' orbitals. In the case of calcium this is 4s2 . This gives calcium an 's' orbital with a pair of electrons in its valence shell

Oxygen is composed of three isotopes: oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 and has an average atomic mass of 15.9982 amu. Oxygen-1

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The percent abundance of oxygen-18 is 1.9066%.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of oxygen is given by:

$m_{O} = m_{^{16}O}*\%_{16} + m_{^{17}O}*\%_{17} + m_{^{18}O}*\%_{18}$
