1. a) What is an isotope?
2. Element A has atomic mass 23 and element B has atomic mass 7 and also have
12neutorns and 4 neutrons respectively.
(a) Write the electronic arrangement of A and B
3. The table below shows the relative atomic masses and the percentage
abundance of isotope M1 and M2 of element M.
4. (a) Element V has two isotopes. Two thirds of V and one third of
V . What is the relative atomic mass of element V?
