Answer;
=28.09 amu
Explanation;
In this problem, they did not give us the percentages. However, since we know the number of atoms, we can easily calculate the percentages. For example:
(460 X 100)/500 = 92%
If we do this for all three isotopes,
(460 × 25)/500 = 5 %
(460 × 15) /500 = 3%
-We get 92%, 5%, and 3%. (We'll assume these are absolute numbers for determining our significant figures).
Now the problem is just like the previous one. First convert the percentages into decimals. Then multiply those decimals by the masses and add. Here's the solution:
= (0.92) X (27.98 amu) + (0.05) X (28.98 amu) + (0.03) X (29.97 amu)
= 25.74 amu + 1.449 amu + 0.8991 amu
= 28.09 amu

From the periodic table, we can see that:
At ground state, the hydrogen atom has one electron
Based on the electronic configuration, at ground state this electron should be occupying the orbital (1s)
Since (1s) is not one of the choices, therefore, the answer is "none of the above"
