Question

Please be mindful of the significant figures.

A robot spacecraft returned samples from the planetesimal 98765 ALEKS, located in the outer Solar System. Mass-spectroscopic
analysis produced the following data on the isotopes of molybdenum in these samples:
mass
relative
isotope
(amu) abundance
100 Mo 99.91
47.%
96 Mo
53.%
95.90
Use these measurements to complete the entry for molybdenum in the Periodic Table that would be used on 98765 ALEKS. Be sure
your answers have the correct number of significant digits.
Caution: your correct answer will have the same format but not necessarily the same numbers as the entry for molybdenum in the
Periodic Table we use here on Earth.
