0.295 * 203 = 53.885
0.705 * 205 = 144.525
53.885 + 144.525 = 204.41
The relative atomic mass of Thallium is 204.41

Answer:

204.41 is the relative atomic mass of thallium.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i .....(1)

We are given:

Mass of Thallium-203= 203 u

Percentage abundance of Thallium-203= 29.5%

Fractional abundance of Thallium-203= 0.295

Mass of Thallium-205 = 270.9 u

Percentage abundance of Thallium-205 = 70.5%

Fractional abundance of Thallium-203 = 0.705

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Thallium}=\sum[(203 u\times 0.295)+(205 u\times 0.705)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Thallium}=204.41 u

204.41 is the relative atomic mass of thallium.

The universe comes into existence is first
The first neutral atoms form is second
The universe begins expanding is third
Gases form that will later go to shape stars and galaxies is fourth
Atomic nuclei form is last

I'm almost certain that is correct. Do not take my word for this.

What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?
Marina CMI [18]
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2.  Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will  be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.
