WHAT ARE ISOTOPES?
They are atoms of the same element that have
different numbers of neutrons.
It’s just a change in the
number of neutrons!!!
Why are you making this
complicated?
AN EXAMPLE
Hydrogen has 3 isotopes
There are 3 different “versions” of a hydrogen atom
Note how the number of
protons never change!!!
AN EXAMPLE
Hydrogen has 3 isotopes
There are 3 different “versions” of a hydrogen atom
Having more neutrons
increases the mass
AN EXAMPLE
Hydrogen has 3 isotopes
There are 3 different “versions” of a hydrogen atom
Mass number = 2
WHY DOES THE ATOMIC MASS ON THE PERIODIC
TABLE HAVE SO MANY DECIMAL PLACES?
ATOMIC MASS
1
H
1.00797
This atomic mass is the one number that best
represents the mass of all three versions of hydrogen.
ATOMIC MASS

H
1.00797
No atom of hydrogen anywhere in the universe actually
has this mass.
ATOMIC MASS

H
1.00797
This number is a “weighted” average of the masses of
every isotope of hydrogen
CALCULATING A “WEIGHTED” AVERAGE
1. First, you have to know the mass of each isotope
2. Second, you have to know the percent abundance* of
each isotope
*see next slide
PERCENT ABUNDANCE?
Percent abundance is how often that particular isotope
occurs in a sample of the element
A sample of magnesium
collected anywhere in the
universe will contain three
isotopes of magnesium.
Sample of Magnesium
PERCENT ABUNDANCE?
These are the percent abundances of each isotope of
magnesium
78.90% of this magnesium will be
the isotope named “magnesium 24”
10.00% of this magnesium will be
the isotope named “magnesium 25”
Sample of Magnesium
11.10% of this magnesium will be
the isotope named “magnesium 26”
PERCENT ABUNDANCE?
This data will be provided to you in problems or you will
be given a table where you can look it up.
78.90% of this magnesium will be
the isotope named “magnesium 24”
10.00% of this magnesium will be
the isotope named “magnesium 25”
Sample of Magnesium
11.10% of this magnesium will be
the isotope named “magnesium 26”
CALCULATING A “WEIGHTED” AVERAGE

CALCULATING THE ATOMIC MASS OF MAGNESIUM
Using the formula for calculating a weighted average
23.985045(.7890)
+24.985839(.1000)
+25.982595(.1110)
24.306852 amu’s
Note how the %
abundances were
converted to decimals
(just divide each by 100)
Since its a “weighted”
average this number
has more influence since
this mass occurs 79% of
the time
It’s NOT just a straight
average where you add
the masses and divide
by 3

VOCABULARY REVIEW
Terms associated with isotopes
VOCABULARY REVIEW
Atomic number = the number of protons
 It’s
the same as the element’s position on
the periodic table
 For example, carbon is the 6th element on the
table, so its atomic number is 6 which means
it has 6 protons (and 6 electrons if it’s a
neutral atom)
VOCABULARY REVIEW
Atomic mass = the “weighted” average
mass of all the different isotopes of an
atom
 This
is the “weird” number on the periodic
table that usually has a bunch of places past
the decimal point
VOCABULARY REVIEW
Mass number = the sum of protons + neutrons
 This
one kind of makes sense because the
electrons essentially don’t have any mass
 This HAS to be a whole number because you can’t
have part of a proton or neutron
 Mass number is NOT given on the periodic table
LET’S PRACTICE THOSE TERMS…
