Zinc has an average atomic mass of 65.37 amu. Jack is trying to figure out what the most abundant isotope of zinc is, but he doesn't have access to the internet, so the average atomic mass is the only information he has. Jack decides to made an educated guess as to the most abundant isotope of zinc by assuming there are only two isotopes of zinc. If Jack assumes there are only two isotopes of Zn, what he be most likely to decide is zinc's most abundant isotope? Question 5 options:

Zinc-64

Zinc-65

Zinc-68

Zinc-66

Zinc's most abundant isotope : Zinc-65

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%

To decide zinc's most abundant isotope, then choose the closest mass number

or we can check the difference with the average mass number, if the value is the smallest, then that isotope has the largest abundant

The closest = Zinc-65(the smallest)

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.

gold is my favorite solid.
