Answer:

Average atomic mass = 3.9 amu

Explanation:

Given data:

Percent abundance of He-2 = 0.420%

Percent abundance of He-3 = 2.75%

Percent abundance of He-4 = 96.83%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass = (0.420×2)+(2.75×3) +(96.83×4)/100

Average atomic mass = 0.84 + 8.25 +387.32 / 100

Average atomic mass = 396.41 / 100

Average atomic mass = 3.9 amu.

Len [333]

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

The hydrogen bond is a specially strong type of dipole-dipole interaction. For a hydrogen bond to occur, a molecule must have a hydrogen atom and a very electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The hydrogen atom has a positive charge density while the heteroatom has a negative charge density.
