Worksheet - CW - Subatomicpart

The document discusses subatomic particles and isotopes. It explains that the atomic number and mass are used to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. It also discusses how to calculate the number of each subatomic particle based on the atomic number and mass. The document then explains isotopes and provides examples of calculating average atomic mass when elements have multiple isotopes.

Unit2 lec 5 subatomic particles and isotopes Name:__________________________Period:___

The atomic number and mass are used to determine the number of ___________, ______________, and

_______________ in an atom

# of Protons = __________________

# of Neutrons = _____________ – _____________ (round the mass to the nearest whole number)

- this works because atomic mass = _________ + ______________,

so if you take away the atomic number you are left with _________________.

# of Electrons = ____________________ (for _____________ atoms)

A bohr model of an atom. Notice the protons and neutrons in the nucleus and the electrons outside the
nucleus.

Which element is this?

What is the atomic number and atomic mass?

Draw a Bohr model for an atom of boron and flourine.


Include where the protons, neutrons and electrons are
located, include the proper number of protons, neutrons,
and electrons, also identify the nucleus and electron clouds.

Boron

Flourine
Isotopes of Atoms:
There are three isotopes of Hydrogen
2. What structural characteristics do all thee
hydrogen atom isotopes have in common?

3. How does one isotope of hydrogen differ from


another isotope of hydrogen?

1. Fill in the chart for the three isotopes of


hydrogen:
4. What does the mass number tell you?
Isotope

# protons
5. What does the atomic number tell you?
# neutrons

# electrons

6. Define the term isotope.

Average Atomic Mass:


• Notice how the atomic masses are NOT whole numbers. (For example the atomic mass of sodium
is 22.99 NOT 23).
• These are the average atomic masses for elements.
• This is a weighted average so more abundant (common) isotopes have a bigger effect than less
abundant ones.
Lets see how they calculate this using students test scores…
Test Student A Student B
1 95 76
2 74 88
3 82 80
AVERAGE SCORE
(calculate the average)

1. What if the teacher decided that test 1 would count for 40% of the final grade, test 2 would count for 35% of the
final grade, and test 3 would count for 25% of the final grade.
Calculate the new WEIGHTED AVERAGE for each student.

Student A:

Student B:
2. Suppose that student C had an average of 85. On each of his three tests he scored either 65 or 95. Which score
occurred more often? EXPLAIN.

Now lets do this with isotopes in chemistry!


1. Neon has three different isotopes. 90.51% of neon atoms have a mass of 19.992 amu. 0.27% of neon
atoms have a mass of 20.994 amu. 9.22% of neon atoms have a mass of 21.991 amu. What is the average
atomic mass of neon?

2. Of all chlorine atoms, 75.771% are chlorine 35. Chlorine 35 atoms have a mass of 34.96855 amu. All
other chlorine atoms are chlorine-37 with a mass of 36.96590. Calculate the average atomic mass of
chlorine.

3. Calcium has three different isotopes. One has a mass of 35.00 amu; another has a mass of 41.00 amu,
and a third has a mass of 40.00 amu. Which isotope is most abundant of the three? (HINT: look at the
periodic table).

4. An element exists with three isotopes. 24.1% have a mass of 75.23 amu, 48.7% have a mass of 74.61
amu, and 27.2% have a mass of 75.20 amu. What is the average atomic mass of this element? Using
your periodic table identify which element this is.
