Chemistry Chapter 3 : Topic 19

Isotopic Abundance and Atomic Mass

1 / 12

An element X exists in nature as two isotopes: X-10 (20% abundance) and X-11 (80% abundance). A student calculates its relative atomic mass to understand why the periodic table does not show whole numbers for most elements. What will be the correct relative atomic mass of element X-10?

2 / 12

A naturally occurring element has isotopes with masses 35 and 37. If the average atomic mass is closer to 35 than 37, what does this indicate about its isotopic composition?

3 / 12

An element has two isotopes: A-24 and A-26. The relative atomic mass is found to be 24.5. Which statement correctly explains this value?

4 / 12

A chemist calculates the relative atomic mass of an element using isotopic data. Why is this value usually not a whole number?

5 / 12

Element Y has isotopes Y-12 (75%) and Y-13 (25%). A student mistakenly calculates the atomic mass by simple averaging: (12+13) / 2=12.5. Why is this incorrect?

6 / 12

A sample contains two isotopes of chlorine: Cl-35 (75%)and Cl-37 (25%). What is the correct relative atomic mass?

7 / 12

Which statement best describes the concept of relative atomic mass in terms of real-world samples?

8 / 12

An element has isotopes with masses 50 and 52. If the relative atomic mass is 50.2, what can be inferred?

9 / 12

A student argues that isotopic abundance does not affect periodic table values. Which correction is scientifically accurate?

10 / 12

If an element has a dominant isotope of mass 100 with 99% abundance, and another isotope of mass 102 with 1% abundance, what will the relative atomic mass be closest to?

11 / 12

Why do chemists use relative atomic mass instead of mass number for calculations involving elements in reactions?

12 / 12

An element shows three isotopes with varying abundances. Which mathematical method is used to determine its relative atomic mass?
