  1. Isotopes Of the Atom

  2. IsotopesAt the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to: • Define an isotope • Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons for an isotope • Define average atomic mass • Determine the average atomic mass for an element given the isotopes

  3. Isotopes Atoms with the same number of protons & electrons but a different number of neutrons. They are the same element, are chemically identical and undergo the exact same chemical reactions They have different masses (different mass number). All isotopes are used to calculate average atomic mass (this mass is usually a decimal). Most elements consist of a mixture of isotopes.

  4. 11B 10B Isotopes • Atoms of the same element but different mass number. • Boron-10 (10B) has 5 p and 5 n • Boron-11 (11B) has 5 p and 6 n

  5. Two Isotopes of Sodium.

  6. Isotopes • According to international convention all atomic weights derive from the isotope carbon-12. • One atomic mass unit (amu) is exactly 1/12 of the mass of a C-12 atom. • The natural atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of the isotopes:

  12. Determining Average Atomic Mass Because of the existence of isotopes, the mass of a collection of atoms has an average value. Boron is 20%10B and 80%11B. That is, 11B makes up 80% of the boron in the earth’s crust. For boron average atomic mass = 0.20 (10 amu) + 0.80 (11 amu) = 10.8 amu 11B 10B

  13. How to Determine Average Atomic Mass Determine Relative Abundance – % abundance divided by 100 Determine mass of each isotope and multiply relative abundance by this mass (keep all digits your calculator gives you) Determine Average Atomic Mass by adding up all the individual masses, round to “2” decimal places

  14. #1 Nitrogen Example • Because of the existence of isotopes, the mass of a collection of atoms has an average value. • 14N = 99% abundant and 15N = 1% • (0.99 x 14 amu) + (0.01 x 15 amu) = Avg. Atomic mass of N = ______________ Avg. Atomic mass of Sb = ______________ 14.01 amu 121.84 amu

  15. Average Atomic Mass Example Problem: There are three naturally occurring isotopes of neon: Ne-20, 90.51%, 19.99244 amu; Ne-21, 0.27%, 20.99395 amu; Ne-22, 9.22%, 21.99138 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass of neon. Atomic mass = (0.9051 x 19.99244 amu) + (0.0027 x 20.99395 amu) + (0.0922 x 21.99138 amu) Atomic mass = 18.10 amu + 0.057 amu + 2.03 amu = 20.18 amu

  16. Isotopes & Average Atomic Mass • Because of the existence of isotopes, the mass of a collection of atoms has an average value. • 6Li = 7.5% abundant and 7Li = 92.5% • Avg. Atomic mass of Li = ______________ • 28Si = 92.23%, 29Si = 4.67%, 30Si = 3.10% • Avg. Atomic mass of Si = ______________ 6.93 amu 28.11 amu
