In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Symbols for elements are derived directly from the element’s name. Nuclei of atoms contain neutrons as well as protons. The number of neutrons is not fixed for most elements, unlike protons. Atoms that have the same number of protons, and hence the same atomic number, but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Carbon-14 Neutrons 8 Protons 6 Electrons 6 Nucleus

Relative Atomic Mass 12C atom = 1.992 × 10-23 g atomic mass unit (amu) 1 amu = 1/12 the mass of a 12C atom Neutron + 1 p = 1.007276 amu 1 n = 1.008665 amu 1 e- = 0.0005486 amu Electrons Atomic mass 1. The mass of any given atom is not simply the sum of the masses of its electrons, protons, and neutrons. 2. Atoms are too small to measure individually and do not have a charge. 3. The arbitrary standard that has been established for describing atomic mass is the atomic mass unit (amu), defined as one-twelfth of the mass of one atom of 12C. 4. Most elements exist as mixtures of several stable isotopes. The weighted average is of the masses of the isotopes is called the atomic mass. 5. Electrons added or removed from an atom produce a charged particle called an ion, whose charge is indicated by a superscript after the symbol for the element.

One atom has a mass of 35 amu (Cl-35) The other atom has a mass of 36 amu (Cl-36) What is the average mass of these two isotopes? 35.5 amu Looking at the average atomic mass printed on the periodic table...approximately what percentage is Cl-35 and Cl-36? 55% Cl-35 and 45% Cl-36 is a good approximation

Atomic Mass How heavy is an atom of oxygen? There are different kinds of oxygen atoms. More concerned with average atomic mass. Based on abundance of each element in nature. Don’t use grams because the numbers would be too small California Web http://www.unitednuclear.com/scale6000.jpg

Measuring Atomic Mass Unit is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu) One twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Each isotope has its own atomic mass we need the average from percent abundance. (1 amu) (1 amu) carbon atom (12 amu) The Mole - abbreviated mol Defined as the amount that contains the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 g of isotopically pure carbon-12. The mass of carbon-12 contains 6.022 x 1023 atoms (Avogadro’s number)

Mass spectrums reflect the abundance of naturally occurring isotopes. Natural Abundance of Common Elements Hydrogen 1H = 99.985% 2H = 0.015% Carbon 12C = 98.90% 13C = 1.10% Nitrogen 14N = 99.63% 15N = 0.37% Oxygen 16O = 99.762% 17O = 0.038% 18O = 0.200% Sulfur 32S = 95.02% 33S = 0.75% 34S = 4.21% 36S = 0.02% Chlorine 35Cl = 75.77% 37Cl = 24.23% Bromine 79Br = 50.69% 81Br = 49.31%

For example….Methane For carbon 1 in approximately 90 atoms are carbon-13 The rest are carbon-12 the isotope that is 98.9% abundant. So, for approximately 90 methane molecules…1 carbon is carbon-13

Isotopes Because of the existence of isotopes, the mass of a collection of atoms has an average value. Average mass = ATOMIC WEIGHT Boron is 20% B-10 and 80% B-11. That is, B-11 is 80 percent abundant on earth. For boron atomic weight = 0.20 (10 amu) + 0.80 (11 amu) = 10.8 amu

Periodic Table Dmitri Mendeleev developed the modern periodic table. Argued that element properties are periodic functions of their atomic weights. We now know that element properties are periodic functions of their ATOMIC NUMBERS.
