Isotope Practice

This document provides practice problems about isotopes and calculating atomic mass. It includes identifying isotopes of carbon and their neutron and proton numbers. It has students complete a chart with isotope names, atomic numbers, mass numbers, and numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons for various isotopes. It then has word problems calculating average atomic masses of elements like europium, strontium, titanium, copper, lithium, iodine, boron, hydrogen, and rubidium based on given natural abundances of their isotopes.
