Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

Formular:

$atomic \: mass = \frac{ \sum(isotopic \: mass \times \%abundance)}{100} \\$

substitute:

$atomic \: mass = \frac{(23.985 \times 78.70) + (24.986 \times 10.13) + (25.983 \times 11.17)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{(1887.620) + (253.108) + (290.230)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{2430.958}{100} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{average \: atomic \: mass = 24.3 \: amu}}}$
