Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Isotopes**: Most elements exist in nature as a mixture of isotopes, which are atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different atomic masses. 2. **Calculating Atomic Weight**: The atomic weight of an element is calculated as the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes, taking into account their relative abundances in nature. 3. **Conclusion**: This averaging process results in atomic weights that are often fractional, as they reflect the presence of different isotopes rather than a single, whole number mass. ...
