Post 4 Atomic Structure and Radioactivity
We did the Atomic Structure and Radioactivity lab today. My partner and I counted beans (atoms), found the mass of the beans totals, divided the mass by the amount to get the avg. mass of each bean (isotopes), found the % abundance of each isotope by dividing number of atoms by total number of beanuim atoms (beans in total), and then we calculated the average atomic mass through the equation ((mass)(%)) + ((mass)(%)) and got 0.280885 as the average.

This is a great post that summarizes not only the beanium lab, but also one of the core concepts of the Atomic Structure and Radioactivity unit.
