C1. 

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
94 Mo 93.9
97.7%
96 Mo 95.9
2.3%
Use these measurements to complete the entry for molybdenum in the Periodic Table that would be used on 98765 ALEKS. Round your entry for the atomic
mass to 3 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.
