The correct option is C.

An atom can be either in the ground state or in an excited state. An atom is said to be in the ground state, if the total energy of its electron can not be lowered by moving one or more electrons into different orbitals. At the ground state, the electrons in the atom have the lowest energy possible and they are stable. On the other hand, an atom is said to be in an excited state, if the energy of its electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons into different orbitals. An atom in an excited state has more energy and is less stable.

Sholpan [36]

a.) Plants that thrive in the shade are often able to hold on to sunlight for extensive periods of time; they're in a sense like the camels of the plaNt WoRld.

b.) Though artificial lights are not nearly as beneficial as the sun, one could invest in one of them plant growing light thingies, but sun-loving plants might be sad if u do this instead of letting them soak in ePic rays from the sun.

Suppose that a newly discovered element called centium has 3 isotopes that occure in nature. These are centium -200, centium -20
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 203.8 g

Explanation:

Data

Average atomic mass = ?

Centium-200

Centium-203

Centium-209

Equal amounts

Process

1.- Determine the abundance of each isotope.

If they are in equal amounts in nature, just divide 100 by 3

             100/3 = 33.33 % or 0.333

2.- Determine the Average atomic mass

Average atomic mass = Atomic mass 1 x abundance + Atomic mass 2 x

                                        abundance + Atomic mass 3 x abundance

- Substitution

Average atomic mass = 200 x 0.333 + 203 x 0.333 + 209 x 0.333

- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 66.6 + 67.6 + 69.6

Result

Average atomic mass = 203.8 g
