The correct answer is B. on Apex!
Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%
Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium
= 24.3050amu
Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu
Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu
Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu
Total abundance = 1
Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10
Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.
x+0.10+y =1
x = 0.90-y
M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope
24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y
Substitute x= 0.90-y
Then
y = 0.11
Since y=0.11, then
x= 0.90-0.11
x=0.79
Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%
In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶, using the notation explained below.
Its about 11.5hg because if you divide it with the atom it would result to 11.5hg
