A robot spacecraft returned samples from the planetesimal 98765 ALEKS, located in the outer Solar System. Mass-spectroscopic analysis produced the following data on the isotopes of ruthenium in these samples: isotope 96 Ru 101 mass relative (amu) abundance 95.91 Ru 100.91 58.% 42.% Use these measurements to complete the entry for ruthenium in the Periodic Table that would be used on 98765 ALEKS. Round your entry for the atomic mass to 2 significant digits.

Explanation
95.91
Use these measurements to complete the entry for ruthenium in the Periodic Table that would be used on 98765 ALEKS. Round your entry for the atomic mass
to 2 significant digits.
Caution: your correct answer will have the same format but not necessarily the same numbers as the entry for ruthenium in the Periodic Table we use here on
Earth.
