1
ISOTOPES and RELATIVE ABUNDANCE What is an isotope? What is relative abundance?
2
What is an ISOTOPE? Isotope = atoms that have the same number of PROTONS but different number of NEUTRONS. chemically alike but with varying mass numbers
3
APPLE VARITIES
4
What is average atomic mass? Atomic Mass or Atomic Weight - average of the masses of its naturally occurring isotopes Related to the Relative Abundance Which apple variety is most abundant in the grocery store?
5
Calculating Average Atomic Mass EX. You have a box containing two sizes of marbles. 25% of the marbles have a mass of 2.0 g. 75% of the marbles have a mass of 3.0 g. Calculate the average weight of the marble.
6
EX. Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes: Cu-63 (69.17% abundant) with amu = 62.929 Cu-65 (30.83% abundant) with amu = 64.927 Calculate the average atomic mass.
