Formation of ions An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom Atoms form ions by losing or gaining electrons. When an atom loses one electron,it has an electric charge of +1, e.g. Na + Because the number of electrons in the atom becomes one fewer than the number of protons If one electron is gained, an electric charge of -1 is formed, e.g. Cl - Because the atom contains one more electron than it does protons

RELATIVE MASSES Relative Atomic Mass (A r ) Is the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 A r =average mass per atom of an element x 12 mass of one atom of carbon-12 Relative Isotopic Mass Is the mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 For an isotope, the relative isotope mass is the same as the mass number. e.g. so for oxygen -16, the relative isotopic mass = 16.0
Relative Molecular Mass (Mr) Is the weighted mean mass of a molecule compared with on-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 commom examples;CO 2, N 2 Relative molecular mass is obtained by adding together the relative atomic masses of each atom making up the molecule Mr(Cl 2 ) = 35.5 x 2 = 71.0 »Relative Formula Mass Used for any formula of a species or ion, e.g. NaCl, OH¯ by adding together the relative atomic mass of each atom making up a formula unit. CaBr 2 : relative formula mass = (79.9x2) = RELATIVE MASSES

ISOTOPES DefinitionAtoms with… the same atomic number but different mass number or the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. PropertiesChemical properties of isotopes are identical Physical properties (such as density) can differ TheoryRelative atomic masses measured by chemical methods rarely produce whole numbers but they should do (allowing for the low relative mass of the electron). This was explained when the mass spectrograph revealed that atoms of the same element could have different masses due to the variation in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. The observed mass was a consequence of the abundance of each type of isotope. ProtonsNeutrons 1 H H H 1 12 ISOTOPES OF HYDROGEN

MASS SPECTRA An early application was the demonstration by Aston, (Nobel Prize, 1922), that naturally occurring neon consisted of 3 isotopes Ne 21 Ne 22 Ne. positions of peaks gives atomic mass peak intensity gives relative abundance highest abundance is scaled up to 100% - other values are adjusted accordingly. Calculate the average relative atomic mass of neon using the above information. Out of every 100 atoms are 20 Ne, 0.26 are 21 Ne and 8.82 are 22 Ne Average = (90.92 x 20) + (0.26 x 21) + (8.82 x 22) = Relative atomic mass = m/z Abundance / %
MASS SPECTRA Naturally occurring potassium consists of potassium-39 and potassium-41. Calculate the percentage of each isotope present if the average is Assume there are x nuclei of 39 K in every 100; so there will be (100-x) of 41 K so 39x + 41 (100-x) = therefore 39 x x = 3910 thus - 2x = and x = 95 ANSWER There will be 95% 39 K and 5% 41 K
