    Chemistry 100 - Week 3 Day 3:: Atoms, Molecules and Ions Are TINY!

    Ions have a charge of +1 or -1. Atoms, molecules, and ions are represented by symbols that indicate their elemental identity and atomic mass or molecular weight. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, represented by their mass number. The atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom and is used to express relative atomic and molecular masses. An element's atomic weight is calculated as the weighted average of its naturally occurring isotopes' masses and abundances.

    Week 3 Day 3:
    Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules Continued
    **Ions have a charge of +1
    **Remember: Atomic mass = the average mass of all the isotopes in an
    element
    **Molecules = combinations of atoms
    **Atoms, molecules and Ions are TINY!
    ** The molar mass of an Element is in grams, and is also how much 1 mole
    of that substance would weigh.
    **Atomic weight = weighted average of all the Isotopes
    Isotopes:
    Atoms that have the same number of protons in the nucleus but
    different numbers of neutrons.
    So they have the same atomic number, but different mass numbers
    (since there is a different number of neutrons).
    Its important to note though, that all isotopes of the same element
    have the SAME number of electrons.

    Isotope Symbols:
    A
    Z
    Isotopes are represented by the same symbol

    E as Mass Number and Atomic

    Number.
    - Again Z is the atomic number,
    - A is the mass number
    - And Z is the elemental symbol
    Example:
    60

    28

    Ni, This Nickel isotope contains 28 protons and 32 neutrons (since 60 28 = 32)
    -

    Isotopes are also represented as Carbon-12, etc. So Carbon would have a mass
    number of 12.

    Atomic Mass Unit (u):

    The Atomic Mass Unit is a unit used to express the relative masses of atoms.
    Scientists took the mass of one Carbon-12 atom as the definition of the AMU.
    1 Carbon-12 atom = 12 AMUs and everything else is relative to that.
    The actual mass of 1 AMU = 6.02 x 10^23 aka Avogadros Number.
    Example:

    Molecular Weight:
    -

    The relative mass of a molecule in Atomic Mass Units (amu) is called the
    molecular weight of the molecule.
    And since molecules are made up of atoms, the molecular weight is calculated by
    adding together the weights of the atomics in the molecule.

    Isotopes and Atomic Weights:


    -

    Equation we need to know:


    Atomic weight = (Isotope %)(Isotope mass)
    ______________________
    100
    Example: The element Boron consists of 19.78% Boron-10 with a mass of
    10.01amu and 80.22% Boron-11 with a mass of 11.01amu
    Atomic weight = (19.78%)(10.01u) + (80.22%)(11.01u)
    _________________________________
    100
    Equals: 198.0u + 883.2 u
    _______________ = 10.81u
    100
