Question

The figure attached here is a representation
of 50 atoms of a fictitious
element with the symbol Nt
and atomic number 120. Nt has
three isotopes represented by the
following colors: Nt-304 (red),
Nt-305 (blue), and Nt-306 (green)

The figure shown here is a rep-
resentation of 50 atoms of a ficti-
tious element with the symbol Nt
and atomic number 120. Nt has
three isotopes represented by the
following colors: Nt-304 (red),
Nt-305 (blue), and Nt-306 (green).
(a) Assuming that the figure is
statistically representative of naturally occurring Nt,
what is the percent natural abundance of each Nt
isotope?
(b) Use the listed masses of each isotope to calculate the
atomic mass of Nt. Then draw a box for the element
similar to the boxes for each element shown in the
periodic table in the inside front cover of this book.
Make sure your box includes the atomic number,
symbol, and atomic mass. (Assume that the percent-
ages from part a are correct to four significant figures.)
Nt-304
303.956 amu
Nt-305
304.962 amu
Nt-306
305.978 amu
