Why atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5?
Because chlorine atoms occur as two isotopes: 35Cl and 37Cl. The first accounts for 75.76% of chlorine and the second for the rest so the [weighted] average mass is(75.76*35 + 24.24*37)/100 = 35.48 = 35.5, approx.
The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its?
The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes (that is a weighted average). You have to take into account the abundance of each isotope when they do your averaging.
Weighted average atomic mass?
What is weighted average atomic number
What is relationship between atomic mass and average atomic mass?
The average atomic mass is the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. It is, the mass of an atom of the substance, rescaled so that carbon-12 would have a mass of 12.
What is the average atomic mass of Mg?
Magnesium is a meta element. Atomic mass of it is 24.
