Sulfur is a non-metal, being in the third period, in group 6
Answer:
The correct answer is 24.31 amu.
Explanation:
The formula for finding the average atomic mass = The sum of the percentage abundance of isotopes × the actual mass of isotopes
The average atomic mass = % abundance of Mg-24 × actual mass + % abundance of Mg-25 × its actual mass + % abundance of Mg-26 × its actual mass
Avg. Atomic mass = 0.7870 × 23.98504 + 0.1013 × 24.98584 + 0.1117 × 25.98259
Avg. atomic mass = 18.88 + 2.53 + 2.90 = 24.31 amu
The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.31 amu.
I think it is A correct me if i am wrong hope this helps
