IntroductionIntroduction
Just as apples come in different varieties, a chemical element can come in different “varieties” called isotopes.

IsotopesIsotopesIsotopes are atoms of the same element having different masses due to varying numbers of neutrons.

Mass of AtomsMass of Atoms
• One atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom.• One amu is nearly, but not exactly, equal to one proton and one neutron.

Mass of Atoms (cont.)Mass of Atoms (cont.)
• The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of the isotopes of that element.

Steps to Calculate Atomic MassSteps to Calculate Atomic Mass
1) Divide % abundance by 100 to make it a decimal.2) Multiply the mass of each isotope by the decimal
abundance.3) Add the products from part 2.

Element X has two natural isotopes. The isotope with a mass of 10.012 amu (10X) has a relative abundance of 19.91%. The isotope with a mass of 11.009 amu (11X) has a relative abundance of 80.09%. Calculate the atomic mass of this element.
for 10X: (10.012)(0.1991) =
1.993
For 11X: (11.009)(0.8009) =
