Questions and Answers

What is the correct formula to calculate the relative atomic mass of an element with isotopes A, B, and C?

  • Relative atomic mass = (A% x Ma) + (B% x Mb) + (C% x Mc) (correct)
  • Relative atomic mass = (B% x Mb) + (C% x Ma) + (A% x Mc)
  • Relative atomic mass = (A% x Mb) + (B% x Mc) + (C% x Ma)
  • Relative atomic mass = (A% x Mc) + (B% x Ma) + (C% x Mb)
