If bromine atom is available in the form of, say two isotopes \(_{35}^{79}{Br}\) (49.70%) and \(_{35}^{81}{Br}\) (50.30%), calculate the average atomic mass of bromine atom.

% of \(_{35}^{79}{Br}\) isotope = 49.7

% of \(_{35}^{81}{Br}\) isotope = 50.3

Average atomic mass of bromine atom

= \(\frac{49.7\times79+ 50.3\times81}{100}\) = \(\frac{3926.3+4074.3}{100}\)

= \(\frac{80006}{1000}\) = 80.006 u
