2

New cards
New cards

What is accuracy?

Closeness to the true value

New cards
New cards

What is an isotope?

each of 2 or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.

New cards

What is a natural abundance?

the measure of the average a given isotope naturally occurring on earth
