Isotopes Isotopes: atoms of the same element with different masses due to varying amounts of neutrons. Isotope Protons Electrons Neutrons Nucleus Hydrogen-1 (Protium) 1 Hydrogen-2 (Deuterium) Hydrogen-3 (Tritium) 2
Composition of the Nucleus Atomic Mass Atomic mass is the average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element. Carbon = 12.011g/mol Isotope Symbol Composition of the Nucleus % in Nature Carbon-12 12C 6 protons 6 neutrons 98.89% Carbon-13 13C 7 neutrons 1.11% Carbon-14 14C 8 neutrons <0.01%
Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spec. cont. Data from mass spectrometry aka. mass spectroscopy demonstrate evidence that an early model of the atom (Dalton’s model) is incorrect; these data then require a modification of that model. Data from mass spectrometry also demonstrate direct evidence of different isotopes from the same element. The average atomic mass can be estimated from mass spectra.
Atomic Mass Isotope Isotopic mass (amu) Abundance (%) 6329Cu 62.9298 69.09 6529Cu 64.9278 30.91 Atomic mass is then calculated in the following way: (62.9298)(0.6909) = 43.48 (64.9278)(0.3091) = 20.07 63.55
