Silicon has three isotopes, Silicon-28, Silicon-29 and Silicon-30, whose percentage abundances are 92.21%,
4.70% and 3.09% respectively. The atomic masses are 27.977 amu, 28.976 amu and 29.974amu respectively.
Write the symbols for the three isotopes of silicon and determine the relative atomic mass.
