Isotopes • Atoms of the same element with different masses • Isotopes do not differ significantly in their chemical behavior • Writing Isotopes: • Hyphen notation: element-mass # (hydrogen-3) • Nuclear symbol: 235U 92
Atomic Mass • Atomic mass is a relative measure • One atomic mass unit (amu) is exactly 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom. • Average atomic mass is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the isotopes of an element (it takes into account the relative abundance of the isotopes).
Calculating Average Atomic Mass What is the average atomic mass of copper if naturally occurring copper consists of 69.15% copper-63 and 30.85% copper-65? The experimentally determined mass of copper-63 is 62.998 amu and that of copper-65 is 64.897 amu.
Expressing Quantities of Atoms • The mole = SI unit for amount of substance, it is a counting unit like a dozen, it stands for a specific number of atoms.
Avogadro’s Number : the number of particles in one mole of a substance 6.02 x 1023 • Molar Mass (measured in grams per mole) : expresses the mass of one mole of a substance • Found using the average atomic mass on the periodic table
