5. What is Atomic Mass?
the atomic mass is the sum of the
protons and neutrons in the atom.
6. What is an isotope?
An atom that has a different number of
neutrons. (this affects the element’s mass)
Let's say an atom is missing a neutron or has
an extraneutron. That type of atom is called
an isotope.
7. How do Isotopes and Atomic Mass Relate??
Atomic Mass = Number of Protons and Neutrons
Isotope= element that has more or less neutrons
The number of isotopes an element has affects its AVERAGE atomic mass.
(i.e. element A has 6 protons and 6 neutrons) =
Isotope of element has 6 protons and 7 neutrons…atomic mass=
12+12+12+13…. Find average
9. Practice
Make a carbon (C) with an atomic mass of 12
Make an isotope of carbon with atomic mass of 13
Make a Lithium with an atomic mass of 6
Make an isotope of lithium with the atomic mass of 7
Make a Beryllium Be
