What are the steps in the process of calculating average in atomic mass given data about the isotopes of an element?
I can't find it
Which is a factor in determining the average atomic mass of an element?
The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope
How is average atomic mass determined from isotopic masses?
The atomic mass that you see on the periodic table is an average mass taken from all of the element's known isotopes. Simply find the average of all of the masses of the isotopes of an element.
Average weight of an element expressed in atomic mass units?
Average weight of an element expressed in Atomic Mass units.
What is the average atomic mass of an element is the average atomic masses of what kind of isotopes?
average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)
Why is a weighted average required for calculating atomic mass?
Isotopes - that same element with a different atomic weight.

The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its?
The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes (that is a weighted average). You have to take into account the abundance of each isotope when they do your averaging.
Why are the masses given in the periodic table described as being average masses?
The given mass of an element on the periodic table is determined by calculating the weighted average of all naturally occurring isotopes of that element. If the element does not occur in nature, the atomic mass of the most stable isotope is given.
An average of the masses of all the naturallly occurring isotopes of an element?
The weighted average for all isotopes that occur in nature for an element is its atomic weight listed on the Periodic Table of the elements.
Average weight of an element expressed in atomic mass units?
Average weight of an element expressed in Atomic Mass units.
What is the average atomic mass of an element is the average atomic masses of what kind of isotopes?
average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)
Which is the average of the mass numbers of an element's isotopes?
the Atomic Mass
What does the average atomic mass represent?
The average Atomic Mass represents the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of the element.
What is atomic mass an average of?
"Atomic Mass" is not an average, it is tje total mass of all the electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom of an element. AVERAGE Atomic Mass is the AVERAGE of the Atomic Masses of all of the Isotopes of an element according to their natural proportions.
