1 neutron = 1 amu Atomic Mass Units amu: atomic mass units 1.66053892 × 10-24 grams amu: atomic mass units Unit used to measure the mass of VERY SMALL particles (atoms) Standard is the carbon-12 atom 1 carbon-12 atom = 12 amu 1 amu = 1/12 carbon-12 atom mass 1 proton = 1 amu 1 neutron = 1 amu
Mass Number – Mass of a specific atom Mass number = # protons + # neutrons
The total number of protons REVIEW: Atomic Number: The total number of protons Atomic number = # protons = # electrons Mass Number: The total number of protons and neutrons Mass number = # protons + # neutrons
Isotopes Each element may have different numbers of neutrons => ISOTOPES The mass number is different for different isotopes.
Isotopes – Naming (Two ways) Element name – mass number Ex. carbon-12 or neon-22 Using the element symbol:
Isotopes - Naming How would you write Uranium-235 using the symbol? (atomic number = 92)
Atomic Mass The weighted average mass of the isotopes of that element. *different than mass number
Calculating Average Atomic Mass All isotopes of an element do not exist in equal abundance in the world Percent abundance in world: 90.48% 0.27% 9.25%
Average atomic mass (amu) Example #1 Calculate the average atomic mass of Neon Atomic Mass = (% abundance A)(mass A) + (% abundance B)(mass B) + …. Isotope Mass (amu) (M) Percent abundance (P) M x P÷100 Neon-20 20.0 90.48% Neon-21 21.0 0.27% Neon-22 22.0 9.25% Average atomic mass (amu) 18.1 0.057 2.03 20.2
Atomic Mass Neon-20 Which isotope is most abundant? If Neon has 3 isotopes: Neon-20, Neon-21, Neon-22, Weighted average atomic mass is 20.2 amu.
Example #1 Calculate the average atomic mass of Neon Atomic Mass = (% abundance A)(mass A) + (% abundance B)(mass B) + …. Another way to write it out: Atomic Mass = (90.48/100)(20.0) + (0.27/100)(21.0) + (9.25/100)(22.0) = 20.2 amu
Average atomic mass (amu) Example #1 Calculate the average atomic mass of Lithium Atomic Mass = (% abundance A)(mass A) + (% abundance B)(mass B) + …. Isotope Mass (amu) (M) Percent abundance (P) M x P÷100 Lithium-6 6.01 7.5% Lithium-7 7.01 92.5% Average atomic mass (amu) 0.45 6.49 6.94 OR Atomic Mass = (7.5/100)(6.01) + (92.5/100)(7.01) = 6.94 amu
Average atomic mass (amu) Example #3 Calculate the average atomic mass of Cesium Atomic Mass = (% abundance A)(mass A) + (% abundance B)(mass B) + …. Isotope Mass (amu) (M) Percent abundance (P) M x P÷100 Cesium-132 132.0 75.0% Cesium-133 133.0 20.0% Cesium-134 134.0 5.0% Average atomic mass (amu) 99.0 26.4 6.7 132.1 OR Atomic Mass = (75.0/100)(132.0) + (20.0/100)(133.0) + (5.0/100)(134.0) = 132.1 amu
Questions 1) What particles make up an atom? Protons, Neutrons and Electrons 2) What are the charges on these particles? Protons (+), Neutrons (none), Electrons (-) 3) What particles make up the nucleus? Protons and Neutrons
More Questions: Atomic Number tells us: Atomic Mass tells us: The identity of the element; the number of protons and electrons Atomic Mass tells us: The average mass in amu of all naturally occuring isotopes Mass
