Atomic Theory
Atoms are building blocks of elements
Similar atoms in each element
Different from atoms of other elements
Two or more different atoms bond in simple
ratios to form compounds

Subatomic Particles
Particle Symbol Charge RelativeMass
Electron e- 1- 0
Proton p+ + 1
Neutron n 0 1

Number of Electrons
An atom is neutral The net charge is zeroNumber of protons = Number of electronsAtomic number = Number of electrons

Mass Number
Counts the number
of
protons and neutrons
in an atom
*Mass number is not on the periodic table

Isotopes
Atoms with the same number of protons,
but different numbers of neutrons.

number) with different mass numbers

Masses of Atoms
A scale designed for atoms gives their small
atomic masses in atomic mass units (amu)
An atom of 12C was assigned an exact mass of
12.00 amu
Relative masses of all other atoms was
determined by comparing each to the mass of 12C
An atom twice as heavy has a mass of 24.00
amu. An atom half as heavy is 6.00 amu.
19
Atomic Mass
Sometimes listed as “atomic weight”
Listed on the periodic table
Gives the mass of “average” atom of each
element compared to 12C
Average atom based on all the isotopes and their
abundance %
Atomic mass is not a whole number
Na22.99

Learning Check AT6
Using the periodic table, specify the atomic mass of each element (round to the tenths place):
A. calcium __________
B. aluminum __________
C. lead __________
D. barium __________
E. iron __________
21
Calculating Average Atomic Mass
You need to know…
Percent(%) abundance of isotopes
Mass of each isotope
Weighted average =
(mass of isotope 1)(% abundance/100) +(mass
of isotope 2)(% abundance/100) + …
22
Atomic Mass of Magnesium
Isotopes Mass of Isotope Abundance 24Mg = 24.0 amu 78.70%
25Mg = 25.0 amu 10.13%
26Mg = 26.0 amu 11.17%
(.7870 x 24.0) + (.1013 x 25.0) + (.1117 x 26.0)Atomic mass (average mass) Mg = 24.3 amu

Learning Check AT7
Gallium is a metallic element found in
small lasers used in compact disc players.
In a sample of gallium, there is 60.2% of
gallium-69 (68.9 amu) atoms and 39.8% of
gallium-71 (70.9 amu) atoms. What is the
average atomic mass of gallium?
24
Solution AT7
Ga-69
68.9 amu x 60.2 = 41.5 amu for 69Ga
100
Ga-71 (%/100)
70.9 amu x 39.8 = 28.2 amu for 71Ga
100
Atomic mass Ga = 69.7 amu
