Isotopes
Subatomic Particles # protons = atomic number Carbon - atomic number 6; # of protons 6 # electrons (neutral atom) = # protons Carbon - # protons 6 = # electrons 6 # neutrons = mass number – atomic number Carbon-12 6 neutrons = 12 (mass number) – 6 (atomic number)

Isotope: two or more atoms having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons or Na-23 or Na-24
Every Cl atom has 17 protons, w/o exception, but not every Cl atom has 18 neutrons. – Atoms with the same # of protons but contain different #s of neutrons are called isotopes. Since isotopes of an element have different #s of neutrons they have different masses
Isotopes are chemically alike because they have identical numbers of protons and electrons – It’s the electrons and protons that are responsible for chemical behavior Isotopes can be noted using hyphen notation (Cl-35 vs. Cl-37) or (Chlorine – 35 vs. Chlorine – 37) – element symbol hyphen mass number – element name hyphen mass number

Write the hyphen notations for the following:
Average Atomic Mass This is the mass that is on the periodic table. It is a weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of a particular element. Atomic mass = (mass isotope 1)(% abundance) + (mass isotope 2)(% abundance) This is what is located on the periodic table
Practice 1.Naturally occurring chlorine is 75.53% chlorine- 35 and 24.47% chlorine-37. What is the average atomic mass? Ans. (0.7553)(35) + (0.2447)(37) = 1.The element Neon consists of three isotopes with masses 19.99, 20.99, and amus. These three isotopes are present in nature to the extent of 90.51%, 0.27%, and 9.22% respectively. Calculate the atomic mass of neon.

3.The element silver exists in nature as two isotopes Ag-107 and Ag-109. The accepted atomic mass of silver is amu. What isotope is more abundant?
4.Calculate the average atomic mass of an element given the following information: Nitrogen-15 is 30% abundant Nitrogen-13 is 20% abundant Nitrogen-14 is 50% abundant
