12
LecturePLUS Timberlake12 Number of Electrons An atom is neutral The net charge is zero Number of protons = Number of electrons Atomic number = Number of electrons

LecturePLUS Timberlake13 Mass Number Represents the number of protons and neutrons in an atom
14
LecturePLUS Timberlake14 Isotopes Atoms with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (same atomic number) with different mass numbers Isotopes of chlorine 35 Cl 37 Cl17 chlorine - 35 chlorine - 37

ISOTOPIC NOTATION A Z X A = mass number (the total number of protons + neutrons) Z = atomic number (the total number of protons) X = element symbol

25
LecturePLUS Timberlake25 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.
26
LecturePLUS Timberlake26 Atomic Mass Listed on the periodic table Gives the mass of “average” atom of each element compared to 12 C Average atom based on all the isotopes and their percent abundance (% abundance) Atomic mass is not a whole number Na 22.99

31
LecturePLUS Timberlake31 Solution AT7 Ga-69 (%/100) 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

LecturePLUS Timberlake32 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 percent abundance of each boron isotope?
33
LecturePLUS Timberlake33 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
34
LecturePLUS Timberlake34 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

36
LecturePLUS Timberlake36 Solution AT8 2) 70% Solution 62.9X + 6490 = 64.9X = 6350 -2.0 X = -140 X = 70%
