atomic mass: the weighted
average of the masses of the
isotopes of an element.
atomic mass unit (amu): a unit
of mass equal to one-twelfth the
mass of a carbon-12 atom
Relative Atomic Mass
◦12C atom = 1.992 × 10-23 g
• 1 p = 1.007276 amu
1 n = 1.008665 amu
1 e- = 0.0005486 amu
• atomic mass unit (amu)
• 1 amu = 1/12 the mass of a 12C atom

approximately 8 of every 10 atoms are

◦ Assume you have only two atoms of chlorine.
◦ One atom has a mass of 35 amu (Cl-35)
◦ The other atom has a mass of 36 amu (Cl-36)
◦ What is the average mass of these two isotopes?
35.5 amu
◦ Looking at the average atomic mass printed on the
periodic table...approximately what percentage is Cl-
35 and Cl-36?
55% Cl-35 and 45% Cl-36 is a good
approximation
Cl

Using our estimated % abundance data
55% Cl-35 and 45% Cl-36
calculate an average atomic mass for
chlorine.

Average Atomic Mass = (% abundance of isotope "A")(mass "A") + (% "B")(mass "B")
AAM = (% abundance of isotope Cl-35)(mass Cl-35) + (% abundance of Cl-36)(mass Cl-36)
AAM = (0.55)(35 amu) + (0.45)(36 amu)
AAM = (19.25 amu) + (16.2 amu)
AAM = 35.45 amu
