Beanium Lab

In the beanium lab, we started with a sample of beanium atoms and counted the amount of each beanium isotope which were white, black, red, and pinto beans. Me and my partner then determined the average mass and abundances of each isotope. With that, we worked out the average atomic mass of the beanium element.

      Thanks Ganon! I would say that I enjoyed the beanium lab because it helped me visualize isotopes and calculating average atomic mass.
