Worksheet 3: Chapter 4
1) Neon has 3 different isotopes, neon-20, neon-21, and neon-22. The first isotope has a mass of 19.992 amu and an abundance of 90.60%. The second isotope (neon-21) has an abundance of 0.21%. The third isotope has a mass of 21.991 amu and an abundance of 9.20%. What is the mass of the second isotope?
2) A certain element has the 4 isotopes. Given the following data, calculate the average atomic mass of the element and identify which element it is.
