When the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of a particular element are averaged the result is called the elements?

Atomic weight, if the average is taken by weighting the mass of each naturally occurring isotope by its natural abundance.


How do you calculate the average mass of a naturally occurring element?

By multiplying the mass number of each naturally occurring isotope of the element by the fractional abundance of the same isotope, then adding all the resulting products.


What is a naturally occuring isotope?

It is an isotope that occurs in nature, and is not manmade. Isotopes, by the way, are atoms that have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons. The atomic number is the same, but atomic weight (or mass) is different. For instance, Carbon can be Carbon 10, 11, 12, or 14. They are all carbon.


What is an isotope of 39K?

An isotope of 39K is potassium-39. It is a stable and naturally occurring isotope of potassium. It makes up about 93% of all naturally-occurring potassium.


What are all the elements that do not have isotopes?

There are many elements that have only one naturally occurring isotope. When you get to transuranic elements the elements all have no naturally occurring isotopes. But all elements have isotopes, they just have to be created, maybe in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator or a supernova explosion.


What is the mass number of most common naturally occurring isotope of carbon?

Carbon has a few isotopes. The most common naturally occurring isotope of it is C12. Mass number of it is 12.


What is monoisotopy?

having only one naturally occurring isotope


Is tin an isotope?

Tin is an element with ten naturally occurring isotopes.


How has the amount of earths radioactive isotope changed over time?

Does a radioisotope of gold occur naturally?

No, gold has only one naturally occurring isotope and it is non-radioactive.


What is the mass number of the most common naturally occurring isotope of carbon?

12
