Answer:
This means that the isotope of silicon with a mass number of 28 is by far the most common of these three isotopes.
Explanation:
The abundance of Si-28 is 92.23%. Si-29 is 4.68% and Si-30 is 3.09%.
Because most Si atoms have a mass of 28 amu, the average mass of all silicon atoms is very close to 28.
Here is a video which summarizes how to calculate average atomic mass from data about mass and relative abundance.
Yes..? I don’t understand what you’re trying to ask mate.
Answer:
Mountain ranges are formed by a variety of geological processes, but most of the significant ones on Earth are the result of plate tectonics. Mountain ranges are also found on many planetary mass objects in the Solar System and are likely a feature of most terrestrial planets.
