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

Isotopes

Atoms with the same number of protons,

but different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms of the same element (same atomic

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.

Page 24: Atoms and isotopes

LecturePLUS Timberlake 24

Atomic Mass

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
