    In nature, the element boron occurs 19.9% as \[^{\text{10}}\text{B}\] and 80.1% as\[^{\text{11}}\text{B}\]. If the isotopic mass of \[^{\text{10}}\text{B}\] is 10.013 amu and that of \[^{11}\text{B}\] is 11.009 amu, the atomic mass of boron is

    A) 10                               

    B) 11                   

    C) 10.8    

    D)        11.8

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Atomic mass \[=\frac{19.9\times 10.013+80.1\times 11.009}{100}\] \[=\frac{199.26+881.82}{100}=\frac{1081.08}{100}=10.81\]
