Assertion. Average atomic mass of an element depends mainly on the heavier isotope.
Reason. Average atomic mass is obtained by multiplying the atomic mass of the heavier isotops with its fractional abundance.

A

If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assetion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason if false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct A. Average atomic mass depends upon the atomic masses of different isotopes and their fractional abundances.
Correct R. It is obtained by multiplying atomic masses of the isotopes with their corresponding fractional abundances and then adding.

Calculation of average atomic mass: The atomic attoms fo the two stbale isopes of boron, ._(5)^(10)B (19.78%) and ._(11)^(5)B (80.22%) , are 10.0129 u and 11.0093 u , respectively, Calculate the average atomic mass of boron. Strategy : The atomic mass of an element existing in nature as istopes is the weighted average of the istope masses, Thus, multiply the fracton of each isotope by its mass and add these numbers to obtain the mass of born.
