Calculating Atomic Mass
1. Look at the data table. What do the numbers 6 and 7 in 6X and 7X represent?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Look at step 1. What does amu stand for? What does it mean?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Look at step 2. Why is each isotope’s mass multiplied by the isotope’s percent abundance? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. In step 3, why isn’t the answer a whole number?

5. Assume that a new lithium isotope, 8Li, is identified. It is a trace isotope, meaning that it exists in a very tiny quantity. How will this discovery affect the atomic mass of lithium? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
