Explanation / Answer

To calculate the average atomic weight, each exact atomic weight is multiplied by its percent abundance . Then, add the results together .

average atomic wt. = exact atomic weight xpercent abundance =10.013 x0.1978 + 11.019 x0.8022=1.9806+8.8394=10.82amu

the element is Boron.
