Distinguishing Among Atoms
Connecting to Your World
Just as apples come in
different varieties, a
chemical element can
come in different
“varieties” called isotopes.

Atomic Number
Elements are different because they
contain different numbers of protons.
The atomic number of an element is the
number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
of that element.

Mass Number
The total number of protons and neutrons in an
atom is called the mass number.
The number of neutrons in an atom is
the difference between the mass
number and atomic number.

Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number
of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Because isotopes of an element have
different numbers of neutrons, they
also have different mass numbers.

Isotopes
Despite these differences, isotopes are
chemically alike because they have identical
numbers of protons and electrons.

Atomic Mass
The atomic mass of an element is a weighted
average mass of the atoms in a naturally
occurring sample of the element.
A weighted average mass reflects both the mass
and the relative abundance of the isotopes as
they occur in nature.

Atomic Mass
To calculate the atomic mass of an
element, multiply the mass of each
isotope by its natural abundance,
expressed as a decimal, and then add
the products.

98.89%, and
• Carbon-13, which has a natural abundance of
1.11%.

The Periodic Table—A Preview
A periodic table is an arrangement of elements
in which the elements are separated into groups
based on a set of repeating properties.
A periodic table allows you to easily
compare the properties of one element
(or a group of elements) to another
element (or group of elements).

• Each horizontal row of the periodic table is
called a period.
• Within a given period, the properties of the
elements vary as you move across it from
element to element.
