Question

The average atomic mass is the average weight of the isotopic masses of the element that is present in the isotopes of the element.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

Consider the case of chlorine.

The correct answer is 'True'.


    The average atomic mass is the average weight of the isotopic masses of the element that is present in the isotopes of the element.  
    Let us consider the case of chlorine. Chlorine has two isotopes Cl-35 and Cl-37. Cl-35 is present in 75% and Cl-37 is present in 25%.
    The average atomic mass = (0.75cross times35 + 0.25cross times37) = 35.5 amu, which is atomic mass of chlorine. The statement is true.
