    05 - Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass

    Uploaded by

    leafyfun100
    The document discusses isotopes and how to calculate average atomic mass. It defines isotopes as atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Average atomic mass is a weighted average that takes into account the relative abundance and individual mass of each isotope. Several examples are provided to demonstrate calculating average atomic mass.

    Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass


    Isotopes
    Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different __________________________________
    Not all atoms are created equal
    Different numbers of ___________________________ will change atomic mass
    Different isotopes have different ___________________________________________
    Relative amount of each isotope is called the ___________________________________________
    We measure atomic mass in _________________________________________ units (amu or u)
    Each proton and neutron has a mass of 1 amu
    The atomic mass on the periodic table is not the mass of any given atom, but the
    __________________________ of all atoms of that element
    We must interpret averages carefully
    Average family in Ottawa has 2.9 people (2016 census)

    Weighted Averages
    Given that the different elements have different abundances, we cannot use a straight
    _______________________
    A weighted average takes into account the ___________________ of each data point as well as
    the _____________________________________________________
    Example:
    What is the average mass of a weight is there are two 1.00 kg masses, one 2.00 kg mass
    and three 3.00 kg masses?
