Calculate relative atomic mass from isotope abundance

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 3

Abundance from relative atomic mass

A boron-like sample in a mineral sample analysis contains isotopes of mass \(10\) and \(11\). Its relative atomic mass is \(10.24\). Calculate the the correct interpretation. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
