Bromine has an atomic number of 35 but has two stable isotopes- bromine-79 and bromine-81. Given that 51% of bromine atoms are bromine-79 and 49% are bromine-81%, work out the relative atomic mass of bromine to the nearest whole number.

What is an isotope? (To ensure the students basic understanding on isotopes) Isotopes are different atomic forms of the same element, which have same number of protons but different numbe...
