NUCLEAR MODEL OF THE ATOM
• An atom is an electrically neutral particle
• Composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• Atoms are spherical in shape
• Have a tiny, dense nucleus of positive charge surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons
• Nucleus contains 99.7 % of the mass of an atom.

SUBATOMIC PARTICLES
• Most of the atom consists of fast-moving electrons traveling through the space around the nucleus.• Atoms are neutral in charge• The number of protons = the number of electrons
• Atomic Number: • The number of Protons in the nucleus • determines the identity of an atom• No two types of atoms have the same number of protons
• An Element consists of atoms with the same number of protons.

ATOMIC NUMBER(Z): THE NUMBER OF
PROTONS IN THE NUCLEUS OF EACH ATOM OF THE ELEMENT
• Atomic Number = Protons• Elements are arranged in the periodic table
from left to right in order of increasing atomic number.• Atomic number identifies the element

ISOTOPES AND MASS NUMBER
• Atoms can have different mass.• Naturally occurring elements are a mixture of
atoms that have different numbers of neutrons. • Atoms with the same number of protons, but
different number of neutrons are called Isotopes.

ISOTOPES AND MASS NUMBER
• Isotopes: atoms of the same element that have different masses. • Same number of protons• Different number of neutrons • Different Mass• Atoms of different isotopes have different
masses so identity is given by name and name and mass.mass.
• Mass Number = protons and neutrons

RELATIVE ATOMIC MASSES
• Atomic masses measured in grams are very small. • Example: An atom of Oxygen-16 has a mass of 2.657 x 19-23grams.
• It is most convenient to measure mass in relative atomic masses.

TO SET UP A RELATIVE SCALE OF ATOMIC MASSES:
1. One atom is chosen and assigned a relative mass value,
2. All the other masses are expressed in relation to this defined standard.
• Carbon-12 is the chosen standard.• A single atom of C-12 is assigned a mass
of exactly 12 atomic mass units(u).

AN AMU
• One amu is exactly 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 atom or 1.660 5402 x 10-24grams.
• The atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom is exactly 12 u. • Atomic Mass: The mass of an atom expressed in
atomic mass units.

AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS
• Atomic Masses given for the elements on the periodic table are weighted averages for the naturally occurring mixtures of isotopes, called average atomic mass.
• Average Atomic Mass depends on mass and relative abundance of the isotopes.
