C1 : Relative Atomic Mass Flashcards
1
Q
Isotopes
A
Element with different numbers of neutrons
2
Q
What is the relative atomic mass
A
The average of the mass numbers of the different isotopes
It is weighted for the abundance of each isotope (how common each isotope is)
3
Q
How do we find the relative atomic mass
A
(mass of iso 1 x percent abundance of iso 1) + (mass of iso 2 x percent abundance of iso 2) / 100
