<h3>Further explanation </h3>Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.
So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu
Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ...
The average atomic mass of boron :
Answer:- atoms.
Solution:- We have been given the grams of carbon tetrachloride and asked to calculate the number of atoms of chlorine. It is a three step conversion problem. In the first we convert the grams of carbon tetrachloride to moles of it. In second step we convert moles of carbon tetrachloride to moles of chlorine and in the third step we convert the moles of chlorine to atoms of chlorine.
For grams to mole conversion we need the molar mass of the compound. Molar mass of carbon tetrachloride is 153.82 grams per mol. If we look at the formula of carbon tetrachloride then four chlorine are present in it. It means 1 mol of carbon tetrachloride has four moles of chlorine. The calculations are as follows:
= atoms
So, there are atoms in 12.2 grams of
