1
Atomic Structure What are atoms made of? How are atoms put together? What are Elements? Isotopes?
2
Atomic Structure Protons- Neutrons- Electrons-
3
Proton (p) Positive Charge (+1) Nucleon (located in nucleus) Proton population determines which element (atomic number = number of protons) Relative Mass = 1 (approx. same as neutron)
4
Neutron (n) No Charge (neutral) Nucleon (located in nucleus) Neutron population determines which isotope (mass number= number of protons + number of neutrons) Relative Mass = 1 (approx. same as proton)
5
Electrons (e-) Negative Charge (-1) Located outside nucleus Electron population is equal to proton population in atom Relative Mass = 1/1800 (very small compared to nucleons)
6
Ions CationAnion
7
Chemical Notation
8
Elements and Isotopes Elements Determined by atomic number (# of protons) Have unique chemical properties, based on differing electron configurations Isotopes Same element, but different number of neutrons Have same chemical properties, based on identical electron configurations
9
Isotopes and Atomic Mass Atomic Mass is the weighted average of the masses of all isotopes of an element as it is found in nature A.M. = R.A. 1 (mass 1 ) + R.A. 2 (mass 2 ) +... R.A. = Relative Abundance Ex. Cl- 35 and Cl- 37 are two isotopes of chlorine. R.A. 35 = 77.5% and R.A. 37 = 22.5%, what is A.M. of Chlorine?
10
Practice Problem Element Bengiovannium exists as 3 isotopes; Bg-357, Bg-359, Bg-360. The R.A. of the lighter 2 are 41.3% and 16.2% respectively. What is the atomic mass of Bengiovannium?
11
Challenge Problem Element A, exists in 2 isotopes; A-27 and A-30. The atomic mass of Element A = 28.42 amu. What are the relative abundances of each isotope?
