experiment?
2. What did Rutherford’s experiment
discover?

Objectives
• Explain isotopes
• Define mass # and atomic #
• Given the identity of a nuclide, determine
its # protons, neutrons & electrons
What is the same for all atoms on
an element ?
• # protons
• Atomic number, Z = # protons in the
nucleus of each atom of that element
ISOTOPES
• Atoms of the same element that differ in
mass
• Have the same # protons but
different # neutrons
Isotopes (con’t)
• Atomic #
= # protons
• # protons determines the identity of the
element
• # neutrons determines the isotope of the
element
• (Another revision to Dalton’s Theory)
• Although isotopes differ in mass, they
do NOT significantly differ in their
chemical properties

1.
The_____________of an element is the number of
protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element.
2.
______________are atoms of the same element that
have different masses.
3.________________number is the total number of protons
and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope.
Mass Number
• Mass number: total number of
protons and neutrons in the
nucleus of an isotope
# protons (At. #)
+ # neutrons
Mass #
• NUCLIDE: particular kind of atom
containing a definite number of protons
and neutrons
–ex. Carbon-14
Mass #, A - total # nucleons (particles that
make up the nucleus --> protons and
neutrons)
How many neutrons are in
carbon-14?
# protons (At. #)
+ # neutrons
Mass #
If:

Atomic masses are VERY, VERY
small…..too small to be measured in grams!
We need another way to express “how
much”
• Electron = 9.10953 x 10-28 g
• Proton = 1.67265 x 10-24 g
• Neutron = 1.67495 x 10-24g
Scientists use a relative scale to
describe atomic mass – Atomic
Mass Units
• Carbon-12 nuclide is the standard
• Carbon-12 = 12 atomic mass units
(amu)
• The mass of all nuclides is
determined by comparing them to
carbon-12
What is the value of 1 amu ??
• If 12 amu = 1 carbon-12 atom, then…
• 1 amu = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
• Since H = 1/12 the mass of carbon-12, then..
• H = 1/12 ( 12 amu) = 1 amu
• O = 4/3 mass of carbon-12
• = 4/3 (12amu) = 16 amu
proton = 1.007276 amu
neutron = 1.008665 amu
electron = 0.0005486 amu
If we round…
proton = 1 amu
neutron = 1 amu
electron = 0 amu
Atomic Mass
• Sum of subatomic masses in a atom
– Carbon-12:
• 6 protons = 6 ( 1 amu) = 6 amu
• 6 neutrons = 6 ( 1 amu) = 6 amu
• 6 electrons = 6 ( 0 amu) = 0 amu
12 amu

•
Predict the atomic mass of oxygen-16
8 protons + 8 neutrons + 8 electrons
= 8 amu + 8 amu
+ 0 amu
= 16 amu
• How does this compare with the
atomic mass value on Periodic Table?
• Predict the atomic mass of uranium-234
• 92 protons + 142 neutrons + 92
electrons
• = 92 amu + 142 amu
+ 0 amu
• = 234 amu
• How does this compare with the atomic
mass value on Periodic Table?
• 238 !!…why is it different?
Average Atomic Mass
• Weighted average of the atomic
masses of the naturally
occurring isotopes of an
element
IF 40.% of the students living in
Hershey have 2 telephones while
60.% of the students have 4 phones,
what is the average # phones in
Hershey homes?
• (0.40 x 2 phones) + (0.60 x 4 phones)
• 3.2 phones
• “weighted” average
What is the aver. atomic mass of
the chlorine?

• Average Atomic Mass =
• (isotope mass)(relative abundance[dec]) +
(isotope mass)(relative abundance[dec])
• (0.75771)(34.96885amu) + (0.24229)(36.96590amu)
• = 35.453
