The atomic mass on your Periodic Table is an average of
the known istopes making up that element. This average is known as a weighted average, since it includes the abundance of each isotope. The most abundant isotope contributes the most 'weight' to the average: ex C-12 is the most abundant isotope of carbon; O-16 is the most abundant isotope of oxygen. How to determine the average atomic mass? When finding the average atomic mass I must bring along my tools and come to class Each decimal times the isotope mass Then taking my total will help me to pass I must take care with what I decide I multiply and add but never divide Weighted Average Atomic Mass I can cal-cu-late in Chemistry class |
