The development of modern atomic theory revealed much about the inner structure of atoms. Information technology was learned that an atom contains a very pocket-size nucleus equanimous of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, surrounded by a much larger volume of space containing negatively charged electrons. The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom'southward book. The bore of an atom is on the order of 10^−ten m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10⁻¹⁵ m—about 100,000 times smaller. For a perspective virtually their relative sizes, consider this: If the nucleus were the size of a blueberry, the atom would exist nearly the size of a football game stadium (Effigy 1).

Figure i. If an atom could be expanded to the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a single blueberry. (credit middle: modification of work past "babyknight"/Wikimedia Commons; credit right: modification of work past Paxson Woelber)

Atoms—and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them—are extremely small. For example, a carbon cantlet weighs less than 2 × ten⁻²³ g, and an electron has a charge of less than ii × ten⁻¹⁹ C (coulomb). When describing the properties of tiny objects such equally atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu) and the fundamental unit of accuse (e). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then afterwards in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which are assigned masses of exactly 12 amu. (This isotope is known as "carbon-12" every bit will be discussed later in this module.) Thus, one amu is exactly [latex]\frac{ane}{12}[/latex] of the mass of ane carbon-12 atom: 1 amu = 1.6605 × x⁻²⁴ g. (The Dalton (Da) and the unified atomic mass unit of measurement (u) are alternative units that are equivalent to the amu.) The central unit of accuse (also called the elementary charge) equals the magnitude of the charge of an electron (e) with east = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C.

A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu and a charge of 1+. A neutron is a slightly heavier particle with a mass one.0087 amu and a accuse of zero; as its name suggests, it is neutral. The electron has a charge of 1− and is a much lighter particle with a mass of about 0.00055 amu (it would have almost 1800 electrons to equal the mass of one proton. The properties of these fundamental particles are summarized in Table 3. (An observant student might notice that the sum of an cantlet's subatomic particles does not equal the atom's bodily mass: The total mass of six protons, half-dozen neutrons, and vi electrons is 12.0993 amu, slightly larger than 12.00 amu. This "missing" mass is known as the mass defect, and you lot volition acquire nigh it in the chapter on nuclear chemistry.)

Name	Location	Charge (C)	Unit of measurement Charge	Mass (amu)	Mass (g)
electron	outside nucleus	−1.602 × 10−19	one−	0.00055	0.00091 × 10−24
proton	nucleus	one.602 × 10−19	1+	1.00727	1.67262 × x−24
neutron	nucleus	0	0	1.00866	i.67493 × ten−24
Table three. Backdrop of Subatomic Particles

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number (Z). This is the defining trait of an chemical element: Its value determines the identity of the cantlet. For case, whatever cantlet that contains vi protons is the chemical element carbon and has the atomic number 6, regardless of how many neutrons or electrons it may have. A neutral cantlet must contain the same number of positive and negative charges, and so the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Therefore, the atomic number also indicates the number of electrons in an atom. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom is called its mass number (A). The number of neutrons is therefore the divergence betwixt the mass number and the atomic number: A – Z = number of neutrons.

[latex]\begin{array}{r @ {{}={}} l} \text{atomic number (Z)} & \text{number of protons} \\[1em] \text{mass number (A)} & \text{number of protons + number of neutrons} \\[1em] \text{A - Z} & \text{number of neutrons} \finish{array}[/latex]

Atoms are electrically neutral if they contain the aforementioned number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. When the numbers of these subatomic particles are not equal, the atom is electrically charged and is called an ion. The accuse of an atom is defined as follows:

Atomic accuse = number of protons − number of electrons

Equally will be discussed in more detail later in this chapter, atoms (and molecules) typically acquire charge by gaining or losing electrons. An atom that gains one or more electrons will exhibit a negative charge and is called an anion. Positively charged atoms called cations are formed when an atom loses ane or more electrons. For instance, a neutral sodium atom (Z = xi) has xi electrons. If this cantlet loses one electron, it volition get a cation with a i+ accuse (11 − 10 = i+). A neutral oxygen cantlet (Z = 8) has viii electrons, and if it gains two electrons information technology volition become an anion with a 2− charge (8 − 10 = 2−).

Example one

Limerick of an Atom
Iodine is an essential trace element in our diet; information technology is needed to produce thyroid hormone. Bereft iodine in the nutrition tin can pb to the development of a goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland (Figure 2).

Effigy two. (a) Insufficient iodine in the diet tin can crusade an enlargement of the thyroid gland called a goiter. (b) The improver of pocket-sized amounts of iodine to salt, which prevents the formation of goiters, has helped eliminate this business in the US where common salt consumption is high. (credit a: modification of piece of work by "Almazi"/Wikimedia Commons; credit b: modification of piece of work by Mike Mozart)

The addition of small-scale amounts of iodine to tabular array salt (iodized salt) has substantially eliminated this wellness concern in the United States, but as much every bit 40% of the world's population is still at hazard of iodine deficiency. The iodine atoms are added equally anions, and each has a 1− charge and a mass number of 127. Determine the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in one of these iodine anions.

Solution

The atomic number of iodine (53) tells us that a neutral iodine atom contains 53 protons in its nucleus and 53 electrons exterior its nucleus. Because the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons equals the mass number, 127, the number of neutrons is 74 (127 − 53 = 74). Since the iodine is added as a 1− anion, the number of electrons is 54 [53 – (i–) = 54].

Answer:

78 protons; 117 neutrons; accuse is 4+

Chemical Symbols

A chemical symbol is an abbreviation that we use to point an element or an atom of an element. For example, the symbol for mercury is Hg (Figure 3). We use the same symbol to indicate i cantlet of mercury (microscopic domain) or to label a container of many atoms of the chemical element mercury (macroscopic domain).

Figure 3. The symbol Hg represents the element mercury regardless of the amount; information technology could represent ane cantlet of mercury or a large amount of mercury.

The symbols for several common elements and their atoms are listed in Table 4. Some symbols are derived from the mutual proper noun of the chemical element; others are abbreviations of the name in another language. Virtually symbols accept one or 2 letters, but 3-letter symbols have been used to describe some elements that accept atomic numbers greater than 112. To avoid confusion with other notations, merely the starting time letter of a symbol is capitalized. For example, Co is the symbol for the chemical element cobalt, just CO is the note for the compound carbon monoxide, which contains atoms of the elements carbon (C) and oxygen (O). All known elements and their symbols are in the periodic table in Figure 2 in Chapter ii.5 The Periodic Table (also establish in Appendix A).

Table iv. Some Common Elements and Their Symbols

Traditionally, the discoverer (or discoverers) of a new element names the element. Nonetheless, until the name is recognized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemical science (IUPAC), the recommended proper noun of the new element is based on the Latin word(s) for its atomic number. For example, chemical element 106 was called unnilhexium (Unh), element 107 was called unnilseptium (Uns), and chemical element 108 was chosen unniloctium (Uno) for several years. These elements are now named after scientists (or occasionally locations); for example, element 106 is at present known as seaborgium (Sg) in honor of Glenn Seaborg, a Nobel Prize winner who was active in the discovery of several heavy elements.

Isotopes

The symbol for a specific isotope of any chemical element is written by placing the mass number every bit a superscript to the left of the element symbol (Figure 4). The diminutive number is sometimes written as a subscript preceding the symbol, simply since this number defines the element's identity, as does its symbol, information technology is ofttimes omitted. For case, magnesium exists as a mixture of three isotopes, each with an diminutive number of 12 and with mass numbers of 24, 25, and 26, respectively. These isotopes can be identified as ²⁴Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Mg. These isotope symbols are read equally "element, mass number" and can exist symbolized consistent with this reading. For case, ²⁴Mg is read as "magnesium 24," and can be written as "magnesium-24" or "Mg-24." ²⁵Mg is read as "magnesium 25," and tin be written as "magnesium-25" or "Mg-25." All magnesium atoms have 12 protons in their nucleus. They differ only because a ²⁴Mg cantlet has 12 neutrons in its nucleus, a ²⁵Mg atom has 13 neutrons, and a ²⁶Mg has fourteen neutrons.

Effigy 4. The symbol for an atom indicates the element via its usual two-alphabetic character symbol, the mass number as a left superscript, the atomic number as a left subscript (sometimes omitted), and the charge as a right superscript.

Information nigh the naturally occurring isotopes of elements with diminutive numbers ane through x is given in Table v. Note that in addition to standard names and symbols, the isotopes of hydrogen are often referred to using common names and accompanying symbols. Hydrogen-ii, symbolized ²H, is also called deuterium and sometimes symbolized D. Hydrogen-3, symbolized ³H, is also called tritium and sometimes symbolized T.

Atomic Mass

Because each proton and each neutron contribute approximately one amu to the mass of an atom, and each electron contributes far less, the diminutive mass of a single atom is approximately equal to its mass number (a whole number). Notwithstanding, the average masses of atoms of most elements are not whole numbers considering most elements be naturally as mixtures of 2 or more isotopes.

The mass of an chemical element shown in a periodic table or listed in a table of atomic masses is a weighted, average mass of all the isotopes present in a naturally occurring sample of that element. This is equal to the sum of each individual isotope'southward mass multiplied by its fractional abundance.

[latex]\displaystyle{} \text{average mass} = \sum_{i} (\text{fractional abundance} \times \text{isotopic mass})_{i}[/latex]

For instance, the element boron is composed of two isotopes: Virtually 19.9% of all boron atoms are ^tenB with a mass of 10.0129 amu, and the remaining lxxx.i% are ¹¹B with a mass of 11.0093 amu. The average atomic mass for boron is calculated to be:

[latex]\begin{array}{r @{{}={}} l} \text{boron average mass} & (0.199 \times 10.0129 \;\text{amu}) + (0.801 \times 11.0093 \;\text{amu}) \\[1em] & 1.99 \;\text{amu} + 8.82 \;\text{amu} \\[1em] & x.81 \;\text{amu} \end{array}[/latex]

It is important to understand that no single boron cantlet weighs exactly 10.8 amu; ten.8 amu is the average mass of all boron atoms, and private boron atoms weigh either approximately 10 amu or xi amu.

Example 2

Calculation of Average Atomic Mass
A meteorite constitute in fundamental Indiana contains traces of the noble gas neon picked up from the solar air current during the meteorite'southward trip through the solar system. Analysis of a sample of the gas showed that it consisted of 91.84% ^twentyNe (mass nineteen.9924 amu), 0.47% ²¹Ne (mass 20.9940 amu), and 7.69% ²²Ne (mass 21.9914 amu). What is the average mass of the neon in the solar wind?

Solution

[latex]\begin{array}{r @{{}={}} l} \text{average mass} & (0.9184 \times 19.9924 \;\text{amu}) + (0.0047 \times 20.9940 \;\text{amu})+(0.0769 \times 21.9914 \;\text{amu}) \\[1em] & (18.36+0.099+1.69) \;\text{amu} \\[1em] & twenty.xv \;\text{amu} \stop{array}[/latex]

The boilerplate mass of a neon atom in the solar wind is twenty.15 amu. (The average mass of a terrestrial neon atom is 20.1796 amu. This result demonstrates that we may discover slight differences in the natural abundance of isotopes, depending on their origin.)

A sample of magnesium is plant to comprise 78.70% of ²⁴Mg atoms (mass 23.98 amu), ten.xiii% of ²⁵Mg atoms (mass 24.99 amu), and eleven.17% of ²⁶Mg atoms (mass 25.98 amu). Summate the average mass of a Mg atom.

Nosotros can as well do variations of this blazon of calculation, as shown in the adjacent case.

Example 3

Calculation of Pct Affluence
Naturally occurring chlorine consists of ³⁵Cl (mass 34.96885 amu) and ³⁷Cl (mass 36.96590 amu), with an average mass of 35.453 amu. What is the pct composition of Cl in terms of these two isotopes?

Solution
The average mass of chlorine is the fraction that is ³⁵Cl times the mass of ³⁵Cl plus the fraction that is ³⁷Cl times the mass of ³⁷Cl.

[latex]\text{average mass} = (\text{fraction of} \ ^{35}\text{Cl} \ \times \ \text{mass of} \ ^{35}\text{Cl}) + (\text{fraction of} \ ^{37}\text{Cl} \ \times \ \text{mass of} \ ^{37}\text{Cl})[/latex]

If we let x represent the fraction that is ³⁵Cl, then the fraction that is ³⁷Cl is represented by one.00 − ten.

(The fraction that is ³⁵Cl + the fraction that is ³⁷Cl must add up to i, and so the fraction of ³⁷Cl must equal one.00 − the fraction of ³⁵Cl.)

Substituting this into the boilerplate mass equation, we accept:

[latex]\begin{array}{r @{{}={}} l}35.453 \;\text{amu} & (x \times 34.96885 \;\text{amu}) + [(1.00 - x) \times 36.96590\;\text{amu}] \\[1em] 35.453 & 34.96885x + 36.96590 - 36.96590x \\[1em] 1.99705x & 1.513 \\[1em] 10 & \frac{1.513}{1.99705} = 0.7576 \end{assortment}[/latex]

And so solving yields: x = 0.7576, which ways that 1.00 − 0.7576 = 0.2424. Therefore, chlorine consists of 75.76% ³⁵Cl and 24.24% ³⁷Cl.

The occurrence and natural abundances of isotopes can be experimentally determined using an instrument called a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in chemical science, forensics, medicine, ecology science, and many other fields to clarify and help identify the substances in a sample of material. In a typical mass spectrometer (Figure five), the sample is vaporized and exposed to a loftier-energy electron beam that causes the sample'due south atoms (or molecules) to go electrically charged, typically by losing one or more electrons. These cations then pass through a (variable) electric or magnetic field that deflects each cation's path to an extent that depends on both its mass and charge (similar to how the path of a large steel brawl bearing rolling past a magnet is deflected to a bottom extent that that of a small steel BB). The ions are detected, and a plot of the relative number of ions generated versus their mass-to-accuse ratios (a mass spectrum) is fabricated. The height of each vertical feature or peak in a mass spectrum is proportional to the fraction of cations with the specified mass-to-charge ratio. Since its initial employ during the development of modernistic diminutive theory, MS has evolved to become a powerful tool for chemical analysis in a wide range of applications.

Figure 5. Analysis of zirconium in a mass spectrometer produces a mass spectrum with peaks showing the different isotopes of Zr.

See an animation that explains mass spectrometry. Watch this video from the Royal Guild for Chemistry for a cursory description of the rudiments of mass spectrometry.

Fundamental Concepts and Summary

An cantlet consists of a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons; its diameter is nigh 100,000 times smaller than that of the cantlet. The mass of 1 atom is normally expressed in diminutive mass units (amu), which is referred to equally the atomic mass. An amu is defined as exactly [latex]\frac{1}{12}[/latex] of the mass of a carbon-12 atom and is equal to ane.6605 × ten⁻²⁴ g.

Protons are relatively heavy particles with a charge of 1+ and a mass of 1.0073 amu. Neutrons are relatively heavy particles with no charge and a mass of 1.0087 amu. Electrons are light particles with a charge of 1− and a mass of 0.00055 amu. The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number (Z) and is the holding that defines an atom'southward elemental identity. The sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number and, expressed in amu, is approximately equal to the mass of the atom. An atom is neutral when information technology contains equal numbers of electrons and protons.

Isotopes of an element are atoms with the aforementioned atomic number just different mass numbers; isotopes of an element, therefore, differ from each other only in the number of neutrons within the nucleus. When a naturally occurring element is composed of several isotopes, the diminutive mass of the element represents the boilerplate of the masses of the isotopes involved. A chemical symbol identifies the atoms in a substance using symbols, which are one-, two-, or three-letter abbreviations for the atoms.

The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from x.807 to 10.819, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the U.s.. Summate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.
17. The ¹⁸O:¹⁶O abundance ratio in some meteorites is greater than that used to calculate the average atomic mass of oxygen on globe. Is the average mass of an oxygen atom in these meteorites greater than, less than, or equal to that of a terrestrial oxygen cantlet?

Answers to Chemistry End of Chapter Exercises

ii. (a) ¹³³Cs⁺; (b) ¹²⁷I⁻; (c) ³¹P³⁻; (d) ⁵⁷Co³⁺

four. (a) Carbon-12, ¹²C; (b) This atom contains half-dozen protons and half-dozen neutrons. There are six electrons in a neutral ¹²C atom. The net charge of such a neutral atom is zilch, and the mass number is 12. (c) The preceding answers are correct. (d) The atom will exist stable since C-12 is a stable isotope of carbon. (due east) The preceding answer is correct. Other answers for this practise are possible if a different element of isotope is called.

6. (a) Lithium-6 contains three protons, three neutrons, and three electrons. The isotope symbol is ⁶Li or [latex]_3^vi\text{Li}[/latex]. (b) ⁶Li⁺ or [latex]_3^6 \text{Li}^+[/latex]

8. (a) Iron, 26 protons, 24 electrons, and 32 neutrons; (b) iodine, 53 protons, 54 electrons, and 74 neutrons

10. (a) 3 protons, 3 electrons, four neutrons; (b) 52 protons, 52 electrons, 73 neutrons; (c) 47 protons, 47 electrons, 62 neutrons; (d) 7 protons, 7 electrons, 8 neutrons; (due east) 15 protons, 15 electrons, sixteen neutrons

12. Permit us apply neon every bit an example. Since there are three isotopes, there is no way to be sure to accurately predict the abundances to brand the full of 20.xviii amu average atomic mass. Permit us estimate that the abundances are 9% Ne-22, 91% Ne-twenty, and only a trace of Ne-21. The average mass would exist 20.18 amu. Checking the nature's mix of isotopes shows that the abundances are xc.48% Ne-20, 9.25% Ne-22, and 0.27% Ne-21, so our guessed amounts have to be slightly adapted.

fourteen. 79.904 amu

16. Turkey source: 0.2649 (of x.0129 amu isotope); Us source: 0.2537 (of ten.0129 amu isotope)
