Isotopes atoms of a given element that differ in the number of neutrons …and consequently in mass.
Working with Atomic Notation Chemical Symbol AzX Atomic Mass (of Isotope) Atomic Number
Example #1 Chemical Symbol 126C Atomic Mass (of Isotope) AtomicNumber
Example #2 Chemical Symbol 136C Atomic Mass (of Isotope) Atomic Number
Example #3 Chemical Symbol 146C Atomic Mass (of Isotope) Atomic Number
Some isotopes of carbon 126C 136C 146C
10 Ne Neon 20.1797 47 Ag Silver 107.8682 3 Li Lithium 6.941 11 Na Sodium 22.98977
Various ways of identifying Isotopes • Using atomic notation, Example: 126 C or simply 12C • Using the mass notation. • Example:Carbon-12 or C-12 • (read “carbon twelve” or “C twelve”)
Another example of isotopes 11H 21H 31H or H-1 H-2 H-3

Isotopes atoms of a given element that differ in the number of neutrons …and consequently in mass.
Why are masses on the periodic table usually expressed as decimal numbers? • masses on the table are weightedaverages of all known isotopes of the element of interest
It is not possible to determine how many different isotopes exist by looking at the periodic table. • It is not possible to determine the frequency of various nuclides by looking at the periodic table. Keep in mind:
The following does not occur in nature! 11Hoccurrence 33.3% 21H occurrence 33.3% 31H occurrence 33.3%
The following does occur in nature! 11H occurrence 99.98% 21H occurrence 0.0156% 31Hoccurrence 0.0044%
Imagine having 10,000 H atoms another way of looking at it: 11H occurrence 9,998 21H occurrence 1.56 31Hoccurrence 0.44
That means the weighted average is: 11H 1 x 0.9998 = 0.9998 21H 2 x 0.00156 = 0.00312 31H 3 x 0.00004 = 0.00012 Weighted Average (0.9998 + 0.00312 + 0.00012) 1.01

stable means “longest living” (parenthesis)on the Periodic Table indicate the most stable isotope Parenthesis also suggest the element of interest is radioactive.
