Essential Knowledge:

*These are taken directly from College Board

The mass spectrum of a sample containing a single element can be used to determine the identity of the isotopes of that element and the relative abundance of each isotope in nature. (SPQ-1.B.1)  

The average atomic mass of an element can be estimated from the weighted average of the isotopic masses using the mass of each isotope and its relative abundance (SPQ-1.B.2)
