Which type of atom has the same atomic number but different mass numbers? compounds ions isotopes radicals

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

isotopes

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

thank you can you help me with other one?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

Silicon has three naturally occurring isotopes. Silicon-28 has a mass of 27.98 and a relative abundance of 92.23%. Silicon-29 has a mass of 28.98 and a relative abundance of 4.68%. Silicon-30 has a mass of 29.97 and a relative abundance of 3.09%. What is the weighted average atomic mass of silicon? 27.99 g/mol 28.09 g/mol 28.98 g/mol 29.00 g/mol I really don't understand is there a certain formula to use?

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

no there isnts, ita actually very simple to do this

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

how do you solve it?

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

divide the percentages of the isotopes by 100, then multiply them by their atomic number and add them all up to find the abundance. (28x0.9223)+(29x0.0468)+(30x0.0309)=28.10 relative abudance

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

and for the average atomic weight you add them all up and divide by four

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

do you get it?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

wait let me solve it

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@GAzela1997 is it B??

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

for?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

i mean for the answer

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

for this question?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

yes

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

c

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

ions are elements that have been in a reaction

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

the difference between isotopes is that they have the same number of protons in the nucleus but different number of nutrons

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

oooo

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

medal pls :D

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

thanks you!

OpenStudy (gazela1997):

the periodic table is numbered elements for how many protons it has in the nucleous

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

yeah
