the three stable isotopes of 9.051% , 0.27% and 9.22% the atomic masses of the three isotopes are 19.99 u , 20 .99 u and 21.99u respectively the average atomic mass of neon will be

A

20.71u

B

30.17u

C

20.98u

D

30.98u

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The mass of the isotopes are `19.99` u `20.99` u and `21.99` u.
Their relative abundances are `90.51%,0.27 and 9.22%`
`therefore` Average atomic mass of neon
`m=(90.51xx19.99xx0.27xx20.99+9.22xx21.99)/((90.51+0.27+9.22))`
`=(2017.7)/(100)=20.17u`
