OF PROTONS, NEUTRONS AND ELECTRONS IN AN ATOM DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF PROTONS, NEUTRONS AND ELECTRONS IN AN ATOM
Counting the Pieces Atomic Number = number of protons # of protons determines kind of atom. the same as the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
Counting the Pieces Mass Number = the number of protons + neutrons. All the things with mass. NOT on the periodic table
Isotopes Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. different mass numbers. called isotopes.
Writing Isotopes Two ways: Hyphen notation Name of element – mass number Ex: carbon- 12 carbon -14 uranium-235
Nuclear Symbol Notation Contain the symbol of the element, the mass number and the atomic number. Mass number X Atomic number
Na Symbols 24 11 Find the number of protons number of neutrons number of electrons Atomic number Mass Number Name 24 Na 11
Na Symbols 24 11 Find the number of protons = 11 number of neutrons = 13 number of electrons = 11 Atomic number = 11 Mass Number = 24 Name = sodium – 24 24 Na 11
Br Symbols 80 35 Find the number of protons number of neutrons number of electrons Atomic number Mass Number Name 80 Br 35
Br Symbols 80 35 Find the number of protons = 35 number of neutrons = 45 number of electrons = 35 Atomic number = 35 Mass Number = 80 Name = bromine - 80 80 Br 35
Symbols if an element has an atomic number of 34 and a mass number of 78 what is the number of protons number of neutrons number of electrons symbol Name
ANSWERS if an element has an atomic number of 34 and a mass number of 78 what is the number of protons = 34 number of neutrons = 44 number of electrons = 34 Name = selenium – 78 78 Se 34
Symbols if an element has 91 protons and 140 neutrons what is the Atomic number Mass number number of electrons Name symbol
ANSWERS if an element has 91 protons and 140 neutrons what is the Atomic number = 91 Mass number = 140 number of electrons = 91 Name = Protactinium - 140 Pa 140 91
Average Atomic Mass A weighted average of all naturally occuring isotopes of an element. There is a formula used to calculate average atomic mass: = (mass of isotope 1) (% abundance/100) (mass of isotope 2) (%abundance/100) +...________________________________
Unit for Atomic Mass The atomic mass unit (amu) amu definition - one twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Each isotope has its own atomic mass relative to the carbon-12 atom
Atomic Mass You try… Calculate the atomic mass of copper if copper has two isotopes. 69.1% has a mass of 62.93 amu and 30.9% has a mass of 64.93 amu.
Answer (62.93 amu) (69.1% / 100) = 43.48 amu +(64.93 amu) (30.9% / 100) = 20.06 amu 63.54 amu
Atomic Mass Magnesium has three isotopes. 78.99% magnesium-24 with a mass of 23.9850 amu, 10.00% magnesium-25 with a mass of 24.9858 amu, and 11.01% magnesium-25 with a mass of 25.9826 amu. What is the atomic mass of magnesium?
Answer (23.9850 amu) (78.99% / 100) = 18.9457 (24.9858 amu) (10.00% / 100) = 2.49858 (25.9826 amu) (11.01% / 100) = 2.86068 24.304 amu
Atomic Mass Is not a whole number because it is an average. are the decimal numbers on the periodic table.
