Vanadium has an atomic mass of 50.9415 amu. It has two common isotopes. One isotope has a mass of 50.9440 amu and a relative abundance of 99.75 %. What is the abundance of the other isotope?
What is the mass of the other isotope?

Average atomic mass of the  vanadium = 50.9415 amu

Isotope (I) of vanadium' s abundance = 99.75 %= 0.9975

Atomic mass of Isotope (I) of vanadium ,m= 50.9440 amu

Isotope (II) of vanadium' s abundance =(100%- 99.75 %) = 0.25 % = 0.0025

Atomic mass of Isotope (II) of vanadium ,m' = ?

Average atomic mass of vanadium =

m × abundance of isotope(I) + m' × abundance of isotope (II)

50.9415 amu =50.9440 amu× 0.9975 + m' × 0.0025

m'= 49.944 amu

Explanation:

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
