Masses of Atoms A scale designed for atoms gives their small atomic masses in atomic mass units (amu) An atom of 12 C was assigned an exact mass of 12.00 amu Relative masses of all other atoms was determined by comparing each to the mass of 12 C An atom twice as heavy has a mass of 24.00 amu. An atom half as heavy is 6.00 amu.

36
Solution Ga-69 68.9 amu x 60.2 = 41.5 amu for 69 Ga 100 Ga-71 (%/100) 70.9 amu x 39.8 = 28.2 amu for 71 Ga 100 Atomic mass Ga = 69.7 amu

Finding An Isotopic Mass A sample of boron consists of 10 B (mass 10.0 amu) and 11 B (mass 11.0 amu). If the average atomic mass of B is 10.8 amu, what is the % abundance of each boron isotope?
38
Assign X and Y values: X = % 10 B Y = % 11 B Determine Y in terms of X X + Y = 100 Y = 100 - X Solve for X: X (10.0) + (100 - X )(11.0) = 10.8 100 100 Multiply through by 100 10.0 X + 1100 - 11.0X = 1080
39
Collect X terms 10.0 X - 11.0 X = 1080 - 1100 - 1.0 X = -20 X = -20 = 20 % 10 B - 1.0 Y = 100 - X % 11 B = 100 - 20% = 80% 11 B

Where Are the Electrons Located? This question becomes important since the nuclear model of the atom proposed by Rutherford accounted only for the location of the positively charged particles. The location of the electrons is the key to understanding chemistry.
