Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are both stable isotopes of carbon. Carbon-12 makes up 98.89 percent of carbon in nature, while carbon-13 makes up only 1.1 percent of carbon.

How do you find the atomic weight on the periodic table?

On many Periodic Tables, the small number directly below the chemical symbol is the atomic mass. On mine, there is a small 12.011 under the large C for carbon. While most carbon is 12, there are naturally occurring carbon13 and carbon14, so this is an average mass of all naturally occurring isotopes, with the majority of isotopes being carbon12


Most elements in nature are?

isotopes


How the atomic mass of an element is affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?

The atomic mass of an element is the average of its isotopes, weighted by abundance in nature.


How is the atomic mass of an element affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?

The atomic mass of an element is the average of its isotopes, weighted by abundance in nature.


What is the value that depends on the distribution of the elements isotopes in nature and the masses of those isotopes?

This value is the atomic weight.


What is an average of the masses of all the isotopes that occur in nature For 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.


What is the percent abundance for chlorine-35?

75.7771% But Most say roughly 75% and I don't know why that is. Why not 76%?


How is the atomic mass of an element is affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?

Isotopes have a different amount of Neutrons. The atomic mass is the sum of Protons and Neutrons. Therefore having a different number of Neutrons makes the atomic mass greater. Or vice versa. Boom. Solved.


How does stability of an isotope relate to its abundance in nature?

Isotopes with greater stability tend to have higher natural abundances. This is because stable isotopes have longer half-lives, allowing them to persist in nature without decaying as rapidly as less stable isotopes. Consequently, stable isotopes accumulate over time, leading to higher natural abundances compared to less stable isotopes.


Which of these are elements that occur the most in nature isotopes quarks leptons?

Isotopes occur the most in nature. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Quarks and leptons are elementary particles that make up matter, but they are not commonly found in nature in their isolated form.


Which elements found in nature have mainly radioactive isotopes?

Some elements found in nature that mainly have radioactive isotopes include uranium, thorium, and potassium. These elements have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes that decay over time, releasing energy in the form of radiation.


What form is commonly found in nature?

The most stable of any element is found free in nature. Sometimes isotopes are also found along with the most stable of an element. Isotopes usually have short half life.
