Step 1
1 of 3The sum of all relative abundances of all isotopes of an element has to be equal to 100%.
Where is the number of all naturally occurring isotopes and is the relative abundance of a particular isotope.
So for this example. There are two naturally occurring isotopes (). If we know the abundance of one of them, we can calculate the abundance of the other:
Using simple algebra we can calculate
