Why is 35Cl O.K.? Cl Cl Cl-37 Cl-35 Relative isotopic mass Chlorine always has an atomic number of 17! Relative isotopic mass Cl Cl 37 35 17 17 Cl-37 Cl-35
So what is relative atomic mass? Cl-35 75% 25% Cl-37
Relative atomic mass is the average of the relative isotopic masses Cl-35 75% Cl-37 25% How do we get a relative atomic mass of 35.5?
Relative isotopic masses. The relative abundances. What 2 things did we need to know? Relative isotopic masses. The relative abundances.
