    Honestly, I am quite confused with what Nv stands for because there is no element with that symbol. However, I still get the concept of finding the average molecular mass of an element. Let's just assume that nv stands for a specific type of element and it has two isotopes: nv-293 and nv-295. Isotopes have the same number of protons but differ in mass number (protons+neutrons).

    To find the average atomic weight, just multiply the individual weights with the respective composition of the isotope. Since there are only two isotopes, they constitute 50% each. So, the average atomic weight is

    (50%) (293.15 amu) + (50%) (295.30 amu) = 294.225 amu

    Hence, the atomic weight of nv is 294.225 atomic mass units.
