1 Atomic Calculations and Mass Spectrometry
Quantum Orbital Video

2 Atomic Mass – Atomic Number = # Neutrons
(p + n) (p) = (n)

3 Complete the following chart:
protons electrons neutrons H Zr Ca2+ P3- Al3+ Cl-

4 Isotopes- same atomic number but different mass
For example, there are 3 types of hydrogen atoms. 1H H H Not all atoms of the same element are identical.

5 Mass Spectrometers     Are used to determine the abundance and mass of the isotopes of elements

8 Mass Spectrometers A device known as a mass spectrometer can be used to determine the relative abundance and the mass of the isotopes of elements.  In the graph the isotopes of a sample of the element zirconium can be seen in their relative abundances.

9 The data can be summarized as follows:
      Isotope            Mass` Abundance       90Zr amu              %       91Zr amu               %       92Zr amu               %       94Zr amu               %       96Zr amu              %        atomic mass of isotope                  100 %

10 Calculate the weighted average mass of zirconium using the data above.  
Change each percent to a decimal by dividing by 100. Multiply by the mass. Add it all together. 0.515(90.00) (91.00) (92.00) (94.00) (96.00) = 91.3 amu 3 sig figs! Look up the mass on the periodic chart. The unit amu describes how many times heavier than the mass of H = 91.2 amu They are the same with uncertainty

11 Calculate the average atomic mass for Germanium
36.54 % amu 27.43 % amu 20.52 % amu 7.76 % amu 7.76 % amu (0.2052)( ) + (0.2743)( ) + (0.0776)( ) + (0.3654)( ) + (0.0776)( ) = = 72.6 amu Periodic Table = 72.6 amu
