Your answer should be C.) +2. "All the elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their valence shells, giving them an oxidation state of +2."

Hopefully this has helped! :)
Answer:
C. 100.7 amu
Explanation:
Isotopes of an element are atoms of an element with the same atomic number but different atomic masses. Each atomic mass of an isotope is known as an isotopic mass. An element that exhibits isotope, that is, that have two or more isotopes has a relative atomic mass that is not a whole number.
Relative atomic mass of X is the sum of the products of the relative abundances of each isotope and its isotopic mass.
For Isotope ¹⁰⁰X: 30% × 100 = 30 amu
For Isotope ¹⁰¹X: 70% × 101 = 70.7 amu
Relative atomic mass of X = (30 + 70.7) amu = 100.7 amu
Therefore, the approximate atomic mass of X is 100.7 amu
Mass number is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in a nucleus of an atom
