Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.
Answer:
The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>
Explanation:
This is generally known as relative atomic mass.
Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.
<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>
- <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
- <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>
Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)
= 2.035 + 8.1
= 10.135
