av atomic mass for an element = _ x _ + _ x _
% abundance of isotope 1 (decimal form) x atomic mass of isotope 1 + % abundance of isotope 2 (decimal form) x atomic mass of isotope 2
27
mass # & av atomic mass differences
mass #: for one atom, no decimals; 1's, rarely use av atomic mass: for a sample of atoms, use to the hundredth place, usually use
28
