when chlorine occurs in nature, there are three atoms of chlorine-35 for every one atom of chlorine-37. Which atomic mass number is closer to the average atomic mass of chlorine? a) 35 amu or b) amu.......explain
Answer:
We have four atoms and the atomic mass is the weighted average of isotopes :
(3 x 35 )+ (1 x 37) / 4 = 35.5 amu
The atomic mass of chlorine is determined by a weighted average of the isotopes that occur naturally. Therefore, the atomic mass will be closest to the most abundant isotope.
