EQ: What are Isotopes and how can we use them to calculate average atomic mass?

Isotopes  Dalton was wrong about all elements of the same type being identical  Atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers.  These are called isotopes.

Shoulder Partner  How can atoms of the same element have different masses? What must be different?

Isotopes  Isotopes are atoms of the same element having different masses, due to varying numbers of neutrons. Soddy won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1921 for his work with isotopes and radioactive materials.

Naming Isotopes  We can also put the mass number after the name of the element:  carbon-12  carbon-14  uranium-235

Isotopes are atoms of the same element having different masses, due to varying numbers of neutrons. IsotopeProtonsElectronsNeutronsNucleus Hydrogen–1 (protium) (protium)110 Hydrogen-2(deuterium)111 Hydrogen-3(tritium)112

Isotopes Elements occur in nature as mixtures of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.

Atomic Mass  How heavy is an atom of oxygen?  It depends, because there are different kinds of oxygen atoms.  We are more concerned with the average atomic mass.  This is based on the abundance (percentage) of each variety of that element in nature.  We don’t use grams for this mass because the numbers would be too small.

Measuring Atomic Mass  Instead of grams, the unit we use is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu)  It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.  Carbon-12 chosen because of its isotope purity.  Each isotope has its own atomic mass, thus we determine the average from percent abundance.

To calculate the average:  Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by it’s abundance (expressed as a decimal), then add the results.  If not told otherwise, the mass of the isotope is expressed in atomic mass units (amu)

Atomic MassesIsotopeSymbol Composition of the nucleus % in nature Carbon C 6 protons 6 neutrons 98.89% Carbon C 6 protons 7 neutrons 1.11% Carbon C 6 protons 8 neutrons <0.01% Atomic mass is the average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element. Carbon =

Sample:  Element X has two isotopes. The isotope with a mass of amu ( 10 X) has a relative abundance of 19.91%. The isotopewith a mass of amu ( 11 X) has a relative abundance of 80.09%. Calculate the atomic mass of this element.

REVIEW FOR TEST  Know all the scientist we talked about about atomic theory. (experiments, models, conclusions, etc.)  Know how to calculate the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons. I’m going to ask you to complete a table like on our homework.
