- The atomic masses of the natural isotopes of neon are 19.99244u, 20.99395u, and 21.99138u . The average of these three masses is 20.99259u . The atomic mass of neon is listed as 20.1797u on the periodic table. Which isotope do you expect is the most abundant in nature? Explain. When neon gas is within an activated gas discharge tube, reddish-orange light is emitted.arrow_forwardState the postulates of quantum mechanics introduced throughout the chapter in your own words.arrow_forward
