Answer:
The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.
Explanation:
Given data:
Atomic mass of silicon= ?
Percent abundance of Si-28 = 92.21%
Atomic mass of Si-28 = 27.98 amu
Percent abundance of Si-29 = 4.70%
Atomic mass of Si-29 = 28.98 amu
Percent abundance of Si-30 = 3.09%
Atomic mass of Si-30 = 29.97 amu
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)+(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (92.21×27.98)+(4.70×28.98)+(3.09×29.97) /100
Average atomic mass = 2580.04 +136.21+92.61 / 100
Average atomic mass = 2808.86 / 100
Average atomic mass = 28.08amu.
The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.

All of the group iia metals (the column with Be, Mg, Ca, etc) have an outermost s suborbital with 2 electrons
Chemical equations have reactants to its left and products to its right. It is natural that number of atoms of each element in the reactants must be balanced with the number of atoms of those elements in the products also. This is called balancing of the chemical equation.
Hope this helps. Found it on the internet.
