To calculate the average atomic mass of the element with isotopes having mass numbers \( A, A+1, A+2 \) and the ratio of their abundances as \( 3:2:4 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the mass numbers and their respective abundances - The isotopes have mass numbers: - Isotope 1: \( A \) (abundance = 3) - Isotope 2: \( A + 1 \) (abundance = 2) - Isotope 3: \( A + 2 \) (abundance = 4) ...
