3.3a Atomic Math

ppt Notes

Slide 2: Definitions

Atomic number is

_________________________________ is an atom of an ___________________ that

differs from other ________________________ of the same _______________________

because of the number of ______________________________.

Mass number is the number of ___________________________ and

_________________________combined in an atom.

Nuclide is

Slide 3: Ideas
1. Atoms of the same ________________ have the same number of
______________________.
2. Atoms of _____________________ elements have different number
of___________________________.
3. The ___________________________________ tells the element.
4. See the periodic table.
5.
In a neutral atom the number of _______________ = ________________
6. All atoms of a particular __________________________ have the same number
of ___________________, but the number of _________________________ and
_____________________________ may vary.

Slide 4:
An isotope is

Label the diagram below of the three isotopes of hydrogen:

Slide 5: Types of Notation

Name two different types of notation used to represent isotopes.

Draw and label the two types of notation for the elements listed below.

Neon (mass number = 4)

Uranium (mass number = 235)

Lead (mass number 206)

Slide 6: Atomic Math

If you know the __________________________ of an element you can determine the

number of ______________________, _______________________________, and
__________________________________ in an atom of an isotope.

3.3a ppt notes 2

__________________ Number - _________________ number = # of _______________

show the math for U-235.

Slide 8: Atomic Mass

It is _______________________________ for us to measure the _______________ of a
single atom, because they are so small. Therefore, science guys developed a
________________________ system of measuring the mass of an atom. Relative means
__________________________. An atom has been chosen as the
_____________________ or reference _______________________ for atoms: C-
12.____________________________ has been chosen to have a mass of
_________________________ (atomic mass units).1 AMU = 1/12 the mass of a
____________________________ atom = 1.660540 X 10-27 kg (see µ in your calculator)

Slide 9: continued
The mass of any _________________________ is determined by comparing
the mass with ________________________. Most elements exist naturally as a
_____________________ of isotopes (page 82). ________________________________
is the average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring ______________________
of an element.The number below the _________________________on our periodic table
is the average _______________________ mass. It is determined using the
______________________________ of each isotope and the
____________________________________ of each isotope.

3.3a ppt notes 3

Slide 10: Average atomic mass
It is determined using the _____________________________ of each isotope and the
___________________________________ of each isotope.

Average atomic mass = (%abundance)(mass of isotope 1) + (%abundance)(mass of

isotope 2) +. . .

Find the average atomic mass of copper.
