Answer:
Percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %
Percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 42.8 %
Explanation:
The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:
Given that:
Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.
For first isotope, 121 Sb :
% = x %
Mass = 120.9038 u
For second isotope, 123 Sb:
% = 100 - x
Mass = 122.9042 u
Given, Average Mass = 121.7601 u
Thus,

Solving for x, we get that:
x = 57.2 %
<u>Thus, percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %
</u>
<u>percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 100 - 57.2 % = 42.8 %</u>
The absolute value of the difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) of two bonded atoms provides a rough measure of the polarity to be expected in the bond and, thus, the bond type. When the difference is very small or zero, the bond is covalent and nonpolar. When it is large, the bond is polar covalent or ionic.
A polar bond is a bond where there is an uneven distribution of charge in the molecule, due to the ability of more electronegative atoms to attract electron pairs towards themselves which creates an electric dipole. The more electronegative atom gets a partial positive charge and the less electronegative atom gets a partial positive charge.
For a bond between two atoms to be polar, the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms should be roughly between 0.5 and 2.0. In this case, the more electronegative atom will draw the charge density towards itself to create the dipole, but not strong enough to completely strip the other atoms of electrons. The bigger the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond.

metallic properties that are caused by atoms rolling over each other in
metallic bonds are malleability and ductility. The atoms that are being rolled
over are delocalized electrons in the sea of electrons in the metallic bond
enable them to roll over when stress is applied.
