  • Q3
    The element gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes, gallium-69 (68.9256 amu) and gallium-71 (70.9247 amu). The average atomic mass of gallium listed on the periodic table of the elements is 69.723 amu. Which naturally occurring isotope gallium-69 or gallium 71 is the most abundant?
    The most abundant isotope of the element gallium is gallium-71 because it has more neutrons resulting in more distance between the protons
    The most abundant isotope of the element gallium is gallium-69 because it has fewer neutrons.
    The most abundant isotope of the element gallium is gallium-69 because the average atomic mass of the element is closer to its mass.
    The most abundant isotope of the element gallium is gallium-71 because it has a greater mass.

    26.5 amu
    It is the total number of neutrons, protons, and electrons in the isotopes found in a sample of that element.

  • Q5
    Chlorine has two stable isotopes accounting for nearly all of the Cl atoms in the universe. Their atomic masses appear below: Cl-35 atomic mass: 34.97 amu Cl-37 atomic mass: 36.97 amu Which isotope has a larger percent abundance, Cl-35 or Cl-37, given that the average atomic mass of Chlorine is 35.45 amu?
    cannot be determined from this data
    Cl-35
    Cl-37
    both have the same percentage
