How do you calculate the atomic mass of an element?

What is add the # of protons with the # of neutrons.

100

What is a good definition for an isotope? 



What is each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.

What is the purpose of periodic trends?

Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties.

Another important element is carbon, found in all organic molecules. How many protons are in an atom of carbon?

What is 6

200

What is the mass number of this nucleus?

What is 7.

Carbon-12 (12) has an abundance of 98.9% and C-13 (13.003355 amu) has an abundance of 1.1%. What is the average atomic weight of Carbon?


0.989 x 12 = 11.868

0.011 x 13.003355 = 0.143

11.868 + 0.143 = 12.011 amu

Around 12.011 amu (atomic mass units)

What makes the isotopes of an element similar?

The same number of protons.

An atom has mass number 23 and atomic number 11. How many protons, electrons and neutrons are present in the atom?

Given - Mass number of atom = 23                                Atomic number of atom = 11As, no. of electrons in an atom is equal to an atomic number of the element.So, number of electrons = 11Secondly , number of protons are equal to number of electrons.so, number of protons = 11And number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 23−11 = 12so, number of neutrons = 12
So , the atom contains 11 protons, 11 electrons, 12 neutrons.

How do the chemical properties of different isotopes of the same atom compare with one another?

All isotopes of an atom have the same chemical properties. They are identical! They just have different masses.
