If you divide the number of atoms of a single isotope by the total number of atoms, you get the ratio of that isotope.

This tells you how common/uncommon that isotope is.

What is the average mass of the mixture of an elements isotopes?

All of the isotopes in an element's atomic masses divided by the amount of isotopes there are is the weighted-average mass of the mixture of an elements isotopes.


Why is it difficult for a chemist to distinquish between isotopes?

The basic reason that it is difficult for the chemist to distinguish between isotopes is that all the isotopes of a given element have the same chemistry. They all behave the same way chemically because the only difference between these isotopes is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of these atoms. And the number of neutrons in the nucleus doesn't really affect the chemistry of an atom of a given element.


What is an isotope chemistry?

Isotope chemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the variations of elements based on the number of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, known as isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, leading to differences in atomic weight and properties. Isotope chemistry is important for understanding chemical reactions, studying geological processes, tracing the origin of compounds, and dating materials.


Do all isotopes of an element from the same type of ions?

Assuming the question is "do all isotopes of an element form the same type of ions" then the answer is YES.The chemistry of an element is determined by the number of protons and electrons.Isotopes of an element only differ one from another by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus, the chemistry is not affected, and they will form the same ions.An example is chlorine. The two common isotopes are 35Cl and 37Cl which are both present in nature. Both form Cl- ions.

Where is the element lawrencium found?

Only in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry laboratories, in USA or Russia.


Why do all isotopes of the same element have the same chemical propertires?

"Chemistry" is done by the outer valance shell of electrons, NOT by the nucleus.

Two or more forms of the same chemical element that differ in atomic mass?

Isotopes are two or more forms of the same chemical element that differ in atomic mass due to having a different number of neutrons in their nuclei. These isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons but vary in their overall mass.


How two atoms of an element be different?

Isotopes : a different number of neutrons. The chemistry is almost identical (mainly the reaction times are slightly different.
