Naturally occurring Boron is made up of 19.9% \(^{10}\)B and 80.1% \(^{11}\)B. The relative atomic mass of Boron is
21.0
10.8
10.5
10.0

Explanation

Relative Atomic Mass of Boron =  [19.9% \(^{10}\)B} + [80.1% \(^{11}\)B]

  = [ 19.9% of 10] + [80.1% of  11]

  = [ \(\frac{19.9}{100}\times{10}\) ] + [ \(\frac{80.1}{100}\times{11}\)]

  = 1.99  + 8.811

  = 10.801
