Question

Which of the following indicates the percentage of the natural occurrence of an isotope of an element on the planet?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Natural abundance

Explanation:

The percentage of natural occurrence of an isotope of an element on the planet is the natural abundance or the geonormal abundance.

• Proportions of each isotope of an element that occurs naturally is the natural abundance.
• It is represented as a percentage value.
• From the natural abundance, we can determine the relative atomic mass.
• If we know the atomic mass of each of the isotope and their abundances, it is easy to determine their relative atomic masses.
