Chapter 1 Exam Flashcards
Find # of Neutrons
Atomic#-Mass#
Atomic # Give the # of what? Represented by the Variable (Z)
Protons!
Mass # (A)
Total # of Protons and Neutrons in an atom
The number of Protons is equivalent to?
The Number of Electrons
Isotopes
Atoms w/ identical atomic numbers but different mass numbers
Ex.
Cl-35 & Cl-37
Atomic Weight
Found by calculating the % of the Mass contributed by each isotope.
[(Isotope abundance) x (Isotope Mass)]
Ex. 75.77% Cl-35 atoms (mass = 34.97 amu) and 24.23% Cl-37 atoms (mass = 36.97 amu)
(0.7577)(34.97amu)+ (0.2423)(36.97) =
Atomic weight = 35.45 amu
