Consider an element with two isotopes of masses m1and m2. Their fractional abundances must add to equal 1, so if the abundance of the first is x, the abundance of the second is 1 - x. This means Atomic weight = m1x + m2(1 - x). ...
How do radioactive isotopes differ from isotopes? Atoms: All of the elements that we know to exist are listed on the periodic table. If you notice, the atomic masses of each element are different, and they are generally decimal values. This value is the weighted average of each isotope for...
Average atomic mass refers to the mass reported on the periodic table under the element. Since most naturally occurring elements have more than one isotope, the average atomic mass accounts for the fractional abundance of stable isotopes. Individual atom
you will notice that the atomic mass on the periodic table is a decimal; that's because the number is a weighted average of the various naturally-occurring isotopes of an element

By integrating knowledge of the evolutionary process into hypotheses of how ancient proteins may have functioned, it may be possible to recognize the limitations of a uniformitarian approach to biomolecular systems, and to constructively leverage the abundance of available genetic sequence data for questi...
Spintronics in halide perovskites has drawn significant attention in recent years, due to their highly tunable spin-orbit fields and intriguing interplay with lattice symmetry. Here, we perform first-principles calculations to determine the spin relaxati
How to Build 6,000 Nuclear Plants By 2050 by James Muckerheide A plentiful energy supply is the key to bringing the world's population up to a decent standard of living. We asked an experienced nuclear engineer how many nuclear plants we would need, and how to get the job done. Here ...
where large effort has been put to improve decay data for the nuclear energy community [2]. As can be seen inFigure 1b, the vast majority of half-life data in the actinide region is more precise than that for lighter isotopes – out of 35 nuclides in this region, 29 come with an un...
Why is Technetium-99m (the element, Technetium) a good radionuclide to use for SPET scans? The common isotopes of carbon are 12C and 13C. The average mass of carbon is 12.01115 amu. What is the abundance of the 13C isotope? How many electrons are in the highest occupied...
