Atomic Number and Mass Number
1
Atomic Number
The atomic number
• is specific for each element.
• is the same for all atoms of an element.
• is equal to the number of protons in an atom.
• appears above the symbol of an element.
2
Atomic Number and Protons
Examples of atomic number and number of protons:
• Hydrogen has atomic number 1; every H atom has
one proton.
• Carbon has atomic number 6; every C atom has six
protons.
• Copper has atomic number 29; every Cu atom has
29 protons.
• Gold has atomic number 79; every Au atom has 79
protons.

Examples
State the number of protons in each.
A. A nitrogen atom
1) 5 protons
2) 7 protons
3) 14 protons
B. A sulfur atom
1) 32 protons
2) 16 protons
3) 6 protons
C. A barium atom
1) 137 protons
2) 81 protons
3) 56 protons
4
Electrons in An Atom
An atom
• of an element is electrically neutral; the net charge
of an atom is zero.
• has an equal number of protons and electrons.
number of protons = number of
electrons
Aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The net
(overall) charge is zero.
13 protons (13+) + 13 electrons (13 -) = 0
5
Mass Number
The mass number
• represents the number of particles in the nucleus.
• is equal to the number of protons + the
number of neutrons.

A. Its atomic number is
1) 14
2) 16
B. Its mass number is
1) 14
2) 16

3.6 Isotopes and Atomic Mass
Isotopes
• are atoms of the same element that have different
mass numbers.
• have the same number of protons, but different
numbers of neutrons.
10
Atomic Symbol
An atomic symbol
• represents a particular atom of an element.
• gives the mass number in the upper left corner
and the atomic number in the lower left corner.
11
Information from Atomic Symbols
The atomic symbol for a specific atom of an element
gives the
• number of protons (p+),
• number of neutrons (n),
• and number of electrons (e-).

Atomic Mass
The atomic mass of an element
• is listed below the symbol of each element
on the periodic table.
• gives the mass of an “average” atom of
Na
22.99
each element compared to 12C.
• is not the same as the mass number.
• has the smallest unit of amu

Calculating Atomic Mass
The calculation for atomic mass requires the
• percent(%) abundance of each isotope.
• atomic mass of each isotope of that element.
• sum of the weighted averages.
22
Atomic Masses
Why is the atomic mass of the element carbon 12.01 amu?
carbon-12:
98.89 % natural abundance
12 amu
carbon-13:
1.11 % natural abundance
13.0034 amu
mass of carbon = (12 amu)(0.9889) + (13.0034 amu)(0.0111)
= 11.87 amu + 0.144 amu
= 12.01 amu
Atomic Mass for Cl
The atomic mass of chlorine
is
• due to all the Cl isotopes.
• not a whole number.
• the average of two isotopes:
35Cl and 37Cl.
24
Calculating Atomic Mass for Cl
35Cl
has atomic mass 34.97 amu (75.76%) and 37C
has atomic mass 36.97 amu (24.24%).
• Use atomic mass and percent of each isotope to
calculate the contribution of each isotope to the
weighted average.
Atomic mass 35Cl x % abundance =
Atomic mass 37Cl x % abundance =
• Sum is atomic mass of Cl is

Examples
Gallium is an element found in lasers used in
compact disc players. In a sample of gallium,
there is 60.10% of 69Ga (atomic mass 68.926)
atoms and 39.90% of 71Ga (atomic mass 70.925)
atoms.
