<span>In order to calculate an average, we should sum all numbers and divide them by quantity.
Let’s work with qualifications first. Let’s say you got a 10 in 1 exam, then an 8 in 2 exams and a 4 in 2 exams. Your average will be:
= (10*1+8*2+4*2) / 5 = 6.8
If 6 is the minimum, you will pass.
There is another way to calculate this average: applying distributive property.
= 10*1/5+8*2/5+4*2/5 = 6.8
Remember you can convert the fractions into equivalent fractions: 1/5 = 20/100; 2/5 = 40/100
= 10*20/100+8*20/100+4*20/100 = 6.8
We actually don’t have the number of atoms of each mass… we have the percentage instead! So we need to learn this last method for atoms.
Let’s go back to our atoms problem:
73.71 % of atoms have a mass of 27.98 u
14.93 % of atoms have a mass of 28.98 u
11.36 % of atoms have a mass of 29.97 u
So let’s put that in the formula:
Average mass = 27.98 u*73.71 /100 + 28.98 u*14.93 /100 + 29.97u*11.36 /100
So what you have to know is that a percentage can be converted into a fraction, and you should work that fraction in order to find the average. We can make the calculus shorter putting 100 as the common denominator:
Average mass = (27.98 u*73.71 + 28.98 u*14.93 + 29.97u*11.36)/100
So actually we are taking the percentage as if it was the quantity, and 100 as if it was the total (the total of all percentages is always 100). Maybe we don’t have 100 atoms, but it will be the same proportion anyway, whatever number we have! And here it is the result:
Average mass = 28,36u

If they are equal amounts in force then No it won't.
Yes, ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from and an atom of metallic element to the atom of an non metallic element
