>Distinguishing Among Atoms Atomic Mass

It is useful to to compare the relative masses of atoms to a standard reference isotope. Carbon-12 is the standard reference isotope. Cabon-12 has a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units.

An atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Slide 4 of 52



The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of the element.

A weighted average mass reflects both the mass and the relative abundance of the isotopes as they occur in nature.

For example, carbon has two stable isotopes:

• Carbon-12, which has a natural abundance of 98.89%, and

• Carbon-13, which has a natural abundance of 1.11%.

4.3

To calculate the atomic mass of an element, multiply the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance, expressed as a decimal, and then add the products.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms The Periodic Table—A Preview

A periodic table is an arrangement of elements in which the elements are separated into groups based on a set of repeating properties.

A periodic table allows you to easily compare the properties of one element (or a group of elements) to another element (or group of elements).

• Each horizontal row of the periodic table is called a period.

• Within a given period, the properties of the elements vary as you move across it from element to element.

• Each vertical column of the periodic table is called a group, or family.

• Elements within a group have similar chemical and physical properties.
