The nucleus of the atom contains the greatest concentration of mass of an atom. which arrow is pointing at the nucleus of nitrog
en?
1 answer:
The nucleus of an atom of any element is located at the very center. It contains subatomic particles, proton and neutron. That's why it contains the greater mass, because only the electrons orbit the nucleus. So, you would expect the arrow to point somewhere in the center. A picture of nitrogen's nucleus is shown in the attached picture.

The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
0.790 × 24 u = 18.96 u
0.100 × 25 u = 2.50 u
0.110 × 26 u = <u>2.86 u</u>
TOTAL = 24.3 u
∴ The relative atomic mass of X is 24.3.
E. sodium is the answer
