Depending on the stability of the isotopes and what we want to use it for, I say it gives us more variety for what we want to do with it in chemistry
Isotopes of an element have different masses because their nuclei have different numbers of neutrons.
Uranium deposits may contain infinitesimal amounts of technetium isotopes.
Technetium is a man made element.
Different elements have between 0 and 10 naturally occurring isotopes, and between about 3 and 25 if you also include artificially prepared and characterized ones.
Carbon-14 and Uranium-235, to name two.
Isotopes of an element have different masses because their nuclei have different numbers of neutrons.
The average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a particular element are an element's atomic Mass.
The known weighted-averagemass of all the naturally occurring* isotopes for an element is the atomic mass of the element.____________________*This is not the same as "all the known isotopes", becausemost elements have known isotopes that are not naturally occurring.
The radon isotopes 222Rn and 220Rn are natural isotopes.
Lithium has two natural isotopes (6Li and 7Li).

No. Gallium is an element. The element Gallium has two naturally occuring stable isotopes (69Ga and 71Ga) and abpout 29 unstable isotopes.
Tin is an element with ten naturally occurring isotopes.
Uranium deposits may contain infinitesimal amounts of technetium isotopes.
Technetium is a man made element.
How do you calculate percent abundance of an isotope?You find the isotope number and then you calculate that into a fraction and then turn the fraction into a percentage and divide it by the atomic number then times it by the mass and turn that answer into a percent and voila, there you have it.
