Hyphen Notation • Name of Element – mass # • Ex. Tungsten -184 or W-184
Atomic Number • Atomic NumberAtomic #: Number given to the elements according to properties • Number of protons determines the identity of an element • Number of electrons a neutral atom has
Ions • Ion: an atom with a charge due to the loss or gain of electrons. • If a neutral atom loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion because there are more protons than electrons. • If a neutral atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion because there are more electrons than protons. • Ex: If S gains 2 electrons, it has __ (+)’s and __ (-)’s for an overall charge of ___. This is represented like this
Mass Number • Mass #: the sum of protons and neutrons • Atomic Mass: average mass of all known isotopes • Isotopes: atoms that are chemically alike but differ in mass; contain different number of neutrons. • Ex: U-235 vs U-238
Isotopes • To find the atomic mass for any element, you must first know 3 things about the element: • The number of stable isotopes of the element • Mass of each isotope • Natural abundance/% of each isotope. • Ex: If H has 3 isotopes, the first with a mass of 1.0078amu & 99.985% abundance, the second with a mass of 2.0141amu & .15% abundance, and the third with a mass of 1.0076amu & .302% abundance, what is the atomic mass of H?
** Remember, the weight on the periodic table for each element represents the average weight for all of the naturally occurring isotopes of that element

Atomic Mass • Atomic Mass- the weighted average of all masses of all isotopes of a specific element • Units- atomic mass unit (amu)
Steps for Calculating Atomic Mass • Convert the % abundance to a decimal. • Multiply the respective decimal by the mass of the isotope. • Add using sig. fig.
