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.

Uranium has atomic number 92. Its most common isotope is 238U, but the form used in nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants is 23
Yakvenalex [24]

Explanation:

Atomic Number = Number of protons

Mass Number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Isotopes are simply atoms of an element with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.

First Isotope -- 238U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =  238 - 92 = 146

Second Isotope -- 235U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =  235 - 92 = 143
