Answer :  The percent abundance of Li isotope-1 and Li isotope-2 is, 6.94 % and 93.1 % respectively.

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)

Let the fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 be 'x' and the fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 will be '100-x'

For Li isotope-1 :

Mass of Li isotope-1 = 6.01512 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 = x

For Li isotope-2 :

Mass of Li isotope-2 = 7.01600 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100-x

Average atomic mass of Li = 6.941 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

6.941=[(6.01512\times x)+(7.01600\times (100-x))]

By solving the term 'x', we get:

x=694.048

Percent abundance of Li isotope-1 = \frac{694.048}{100}=6.94\%

Percent abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100 - x = 100-6.94 = 93.1 %

The number of protons plus the number of neutrons equals the _____.
Zanzabum

Answer: The number of protons plus the number of neutrons equals the atomic mass.

Explanation:

Atomic mass is defined as total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.

It is an average mass of an atom.

It is expressed in atomic mass unit that is a.m.u.

It is denoted with symbol 'A'.

 A =\text{number of protons + number of neutrons}.
