Click on the site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetAtomMass) and select the 鈥淢ix Isotopes鈥 tab, hide the 鈥淧ercent Composition鈥 and 鈥淎verage Atomic Mass鈥 boxes, and then select the element boron.
(a) Write the symbols of the isotopes of boron that are shown as naturally occurring in significant amounts.
(b) Predict the relative amounts (percentages) of these boron isotopes found in nature. Explain the reasoning behind your choice.
(c) Add isotopes to the black box to make a mixture that matches your prediction in (b). You may drag isotopes fromtheir bins or click on 鈥淢ore鈥 and then move the sliders to the appropriate amounts.
(d) Reveal the 鈥淧ercent Composition鈥 and 鈥淎verage Atomic Mass鈥 boxes. How well does your mixture match withyour prediction? If necessary, adjust the isotope amounts to match your prediction.
(e) Select 鈥淣ature鈥檚鈥 mix of isotopes and compare it to your prediction. How well does your prediction comparewith the naturally occurring mixture? Explain. If necessary, adjust your amounts to make them match 鈥淣ature鈥檚鈥漚mounts as closely as possible.
