1 Atoms, molecules and stoichiometry
This topic illustrates how quantitative relationships can be established when different substances react.
(The term relative formula mass or Mr will be used for all compounds including ionic.)
Learning outcomes
Candidates should be able to:

of atoms and
molecules
a) define and use the terms relative atomic, isotopic, molecular and
formula masses, based on the 12C scale
1.2 The mole and the
Avogadro constant
a) define and use the term mole in terms of the Avogadro constant
1.3 The determination
of relative atomic
masses, Ar
a) analyse mass spectra in terms of isotopic abundances
(knowledge of the working of the mass spectrometer is not required)
1.4 The calculation
of empirical and
molecular formulae
a) define and use the terms empirical and molecular formula
1.5 Reacting masses
and volumes (of
solutions and gases)
a) write and construct balanced equations
b) calculate the relative atomic mass of an element given the relative
abundances of its isotopes, or its mass spectrum
b) calculate empirical and molecular formulae, using combustion data or
composition by mass
b) perform calculations, including use of the mole concept, involving:
(i) reacting masses (from formulae and equations)
(ii) volumes of gases (e.g. in the burning of hydrocarbons)
(iii) volumes and concentrations of solutions
When performing calculations, candidates’ answers should reflect the
number of significant figures given or asked for in the question. When
rounding up or down, candidates should ensure that significant figures
are neither lost unnecessarily nor used beyond what is justified (see also

page 52)

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ATOMS
Atoms are mostly empty space!
Atoms have 2 charged particles:
• Positively charged protons.
• Negatively charged electrons.
Atoms have 1 uncharged particle called a neutron.
The total number of protons, neutrons and electrons in any one atom
determines its properties.
1
It was another 20 years before the last of the three sub-atomic particles, the neutron,
was discovered. Although its existence was first suspected in 1919, it was not until 1932
that James Chadwick eventually pinned it down. As its name suggests, the neutron is
electrically neutral, but it is relatively heavy, having about the same mass as a proton.
Scientists had therefore to change the earlier picture of the atom. In a sense the
picture had become more complicated, showing that atoms had an internal structure,
and were made up of other, smaller particles. But looked at in another way it had
become simpler – the 90 or so different types of atoms that are needed to make up
the various elements

Calculate the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
A neutral 12C atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
Therefore, its mass is:
(6 x 1.672 x 10-24) + (6 x 1.675 x 10-24) + (6 x 9.109 x 10-28)

neutral. Protons are attracted towards the negative pole, and electrons towards the

RELATIVE MASSES
The 12C (carbon-12) isotope is chosen as a standard and given a relative
mass of exactly 12.
Important relative masses measured against this standard are:
Relative Atomic Mass (Ar)
The relative atomic mass (Ar) of an element is the weighted average mass
of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element relative to one-twelfth
the mass of the Carbon-12 isotope.

RELATIVE MASSES
Relative Isotopic Mass
The relative isotopic mass of an element is the mass of an atom of the
isotope of the element relative to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of
the isotope carbon-12.
Relative Molecular Mass (Mr)
The relative molecular mass (Mr) of a compound is the mass of a
molecule of that compound relative to one-twelfth the mass of the
Carbon-12 isotope.

MASS SPECTROMETER
A mass spectrometer is used to calculate the relative atomic mass of an
atom by comparing it with the mass of a 12C atom.
You can also use a mass spectrometer to calculate the relative
abundance of different isotopes of any element.
2 .1 T H E N U C L E A R ATO M
●
13
The relative atomic mass, Ar , is the ratio of the average mass of the
atom to the unified atomic mass unit.
As mentioned in sub-topic 1.2, the average mass of the atom is a weighted
average of the atomic masses of its isotopes and their relative abundances.

MASS SPECTRA: CALCULATING ABUNDANCE
Naturally occurring potassium consists of potassium-39 and
potassium-41. Calculate the percentage of each isotope present if the
average is 39.1:
Assume there are x nuclei of 39K in every 100, so there will be (100 – x)
of 41K
This means that:
39x + 41 (100 – x)
100
= 39.1

therefore
