1.

The three stable isotopes of neon: " "_(10)^(20)Ne, " "_(10)^(21)Ne and " "_(10)^(22)Ne have respective abundances of 90.51%, 0.27% and 9.22%. The atomic masses of three isotopes are 19.99 u, 20.99 u and 21.99 u, respectively. Obtain the average atomic mass of neon.

Answer»

Solution :Average atomic mass of NEON is the WEIGHTED average of masses of THREE isotopes `(90.51 xx 19.99 + 0.27 xx 20.99 + 9.22 xx 21.99)/100 u=20.1771u=20.18u`.
