    20.181 u

    The average atomic mass of Ne is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

    We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i. e., its % abundance).

    Thus,

    Avg. at. mass

    = (0.904 83 * 19.992 u) + (0.002 71 * 20.994) + (0.092 53 * 21.991 u)

    = 18.0894 u + 0.0569 u + 2.0348 u = 20.181 u
