Development of AMUs  Atomic Mass Units (AMUs)  Protons have a mass of 1 amu  Neutrona have a mass of 1 amu  Electrons have a mass of 0 amu  Atomic Mass Units (AMUs)  Protons have a mass of 1 amu  Neutrona have a mass of 1 amu  Electrons have a mass of 0 amu

Atomic Mass  The weighted average mass of the isotopes in a naturally occurring sample of the element  Don’t confuse with “mass number”  To calculate atomic mass you need 3 pieces of information  1. The number of stable isotopes  2.The mass of each isotope  3.The natural percent abundance of each isotope  The weighted average mass of the isotopes in a naturally occurring sample of the element  Don’t confuse with “mass number”  To calculate atomic mass you need 3 pieces of information  1.

Atomic Mass  Example Problem - Calculate the atomic mass for element X. One isotope has a mass of 10 amus ( 10 X) and is 20% abundant. The other has a mass number of 11 amus ( 11 X) and an abundance of 80%.  To solve: Multiply the mass number times the abundance than add them together.  Example Problem - Calculate the atomic mass for element X.

Atomic Mass  10 x 0.20 = 2.0  11 x 0.80 = 8.8  Add = 10.8  The atomic mass of element X is 10.8 amus  10 x 0.20 = 2.0  11 x 0.80 = 8.8  Add = 10.8  The atomic mass of element X is 10.8 amus

Atomic Mass  Your turn. Solve:  What is the atomic mass of Element Z? The isotopes are 16 Z, 17 Z, 18 Z; with percent abundances of , 0.037,  Your turn. Solve:  What is the atomic mass of Element Z? The isotopes are 16 Z, 17 Z, 18 Z; with percent abundances of , 0.037,

Atomic Mass  Answer  16 x =  17 x =  18 x =  =  Tha atomic mass of element Z is amus  Answer  16 x =  17 x =  18 x =  =  Tha atomic mass of element Z is amus
