Modeling Relative Atomic Mass
| Title | Modeling Relative Atomic Mass |
| Description | The concept of average relative atomic mass is explored. Calculation of relative atomic masses from isotopic relative atomic mass and natural abundance (percent composition) is taught. Estimation of most abundant isotopes in a binary combination. Calculation of approximate relative atomic mass and percent composition, using mass numbers. Calculation of relative atomic mass of elements with three or more isotopes. |
