Question
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 molybdenum in these samples:
mass
relative
isotope
(amu) abundance
96-
Мо
95.9
41.%
91 Mo
59.%
96.9
Use these measurements to complete the entry for molybdenum in the Periodic Table that would be used on 98765 ALEKS. Be sure your answers have the
correct number of significant digits.
Caution: your correct answer will have the same format but not necessarily the same numbers as the entry for molybdenum in the Periodic Table we use here on
Earth.
