Answer:

106.905 amu is the mass of the other isotope

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of the isotopes multiplied by its abundance. The atomic mass of an element X with 2 isotopes is:

X = X-109*i + X-107*i

Where X is the atomic mass = 107.868 amu

X-109 = 108.905amu, i = 48.16% = 0.4816

X-107 = ?, i = 1-0.4816 = 0.5184

Replacing:

107.868amu = 108.905amu*0.4816 + X-107*0.5184

55.4194 = X-107*0.5184

106.905 = X-107

<h3>106.905 amu is the mass of the other isotope</h3>

Element A has 15 protons. Determine the number of neutrons in its isotope with mass number 33.
bagirrra123 [75]
In an electrically neuteral atom, number of protons = number of electrons = atomic number.
Mass number = neutrons + protons/electrons/atomic number
Therefore,
neutrons = mass number - <span>protons/electrons/atomic number
Neutrons = 33 - 15 = 18

The answer is thus B. But this is the solution and explanation along with it as proof.</span>
