Answer: 28.1 amu
Explanation:
Mass of isotope 1 = 27.98 amu
% abundance of isotope 1 = 92.21% = 
Mass of isotope 2 = 28.98 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 4.70% = 
Mass of isotope 3 = 29.97 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 3.09% = 
Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :
![A=\sum[(27.98 )\times 0.922+(28.98)\times 0.047+(29.97)\times 0.0309]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Csum%5B%2827.98%20%29%5Ctimes%200.922%2B%2828.98%29%5Ctimes%200.047%2B%2829.97%29%5Ctimes%200.0309%5D)
Therefore, the average atomic mass of silicon is 28.1 amu
Answer:
E - Atomic mass is calculated by weighted atomic average using all the isotope data available.
G - Mass number is equal to the sum of protons and electrons in an atom.
Explanation:
Take an element
- Mass no is 25 and atomic no is 12.
<span>A characteristic feature of diatom cells is that they are encased within a unique cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule.</span>
An atom is the smallest thing ever known to exist. It can only be seen by the eye of a type of telescope.
