Isotopes There are three different types of oxygen atoms shown above. All have same # protons, but diff # neutrons, and diff mass # Chemically alike because have identical # protons and electrons, which are subatomic particles responsible for chemical behavior.

Symbol Practice Problems Write the symbol for each of the three isotopes for oxygen (oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18) including atomic # and mass # Three isotopes of chromium are Cr-50, Cr-52, and Cr-53. How many neutrons are in each isotope? Atomic number of Cr is 24.

Atomic Mass (amu) In nature, most elements occur as mixture of one or two isotopes. Each isotope has a fixed mass and natural percent abundance. Consider three isotopes of Hydrogen Hydrogen 1 (99.985%) Hydrogen 2 and 3 present in trace amounts. Look at atomic mass of H on periodic table (1.0079) This is very close to the mass of hydrogen-1 (1.0078). The slight difference takes into account the larger masses, but the smaller amounts of the other two isotopes of hydrogen. In nature, most elements occur as mixture of one or two isotopes.

Atomic Mass Atomic mass of an element is a weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of an element. Weighted average mass accounts for both mass and relative abundance of isotopes. Atomic mass of an element is a weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of an element. Weighted average mass accounts for both mass and relative abundance of isotopes.

You can calculate the atomic mass of an element if you are given: The number of isotopes The mass of each isotope The percent abundance of each isotope. To calculate the atomic mass, multiply the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance (in decimal form) then add the products.

Example - Average Atomic Mass Copper has two stable isotopes: carbon-12 has abundance of 98.89% and carbon-13 has natural abundance of 1.11%. The mass of Carbon-12 is 12.00 amu and the mass of Carbon-13 is 13.003 amu. Calculate atomic mass of Carbon.
14
Answer Atomic mass of carbon = (12.00amu X.9889) + (13.003 X 0.0111) = 12.011 amu
15
Example Calculate the atomic mass of bromine. The two isotopes of bromine have atomic masses and relative abundance of 78.92 amu (50.69%) and 80.92 amu (49.31%).
16
Answer Atomic mass of Bromine: (78.92 amu X.5069) + (80.92 amu X.4931) = 79.91 amu Homework: Complete isotopes worksheet Atomic mass of Bromine: (78.92 amu X.5069) + (80.92 amu X.4931) = 79.91 amu Homework: Complete isotopes worksheet
