Click on the site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetAtomMass) and select the โ€œMix Isotopesโ€ tab, hide the โ€œPercent Compositionโ€ and โ€œAverage Atomic Massโ€ boxes, and then select the element boron.

(a) Write the symbols of the isotopes of boron that are shown as naturally occurring in significant amounts.

(b) Predict the relative amounts (percentages) of these boron isotopes found in nature. Explain the reasoning behind your choice.

(c) Add isotopes to the black box to make a mixture that matches your prediction in (b). You may drag isotopes fromtheir bins or click on โ€œMoreโ€ and then move the sliders to the appropriate amounts.

(d) Reveal the โ€œPercent Compositionโ€ and โ€œAverage Atomic Massโ€ boxes. How well does your mixture match withyour prediction? If necessary, adjust the isotope amounts to match your prediction.

(e) Select โ€œNatureโ€™sโ€ mix of isotopes and compare it to your prediction. How well does your prediction comparewith the naturally occurring mixture? Explain. If necessary, adjust your amounts to make them match โ€œNatureโ€™sโ€amounts as closely as possible.

In what way are isotopes of a given element always different? In what way(s) are they always the same?
