C1 : 1.2-PROTON NUMBER, MASS NUMBER, IONS & ISOTOPES


What makes an atom of one element different from an atom of another element
Atoms of different elements contain different numbers of protons
For exampleoxygen atom contain 8 protonsnitrogen atom contain 7 protons
Different elements have different atomic numbers



ATOMIC NUMBER (Z)
Also known as proton number
Number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element.
In neutral atom, number of protons  =  number of electrons

In ions, number of electrons = number of protons - (Charge)

MASS NUMBER (A)
Also known as nucleon number 
The total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom of an element.
Number of Neutrons   =   Mass Number (A)  –   Atomic Number (Z)

ISOTOPES NOTATION 



Most elements occur in nature as mixtures of isotopes.

Atoms with identical atomic numbers but different mass numbers are called isotopes

"Isotopes are  atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons in their nucleus but different number of neutrons"

Isotopes are represented by symbols such as this: . The symbol represents "carbon twelve", carbon-12. 

The atomic number is shown by the subscript and the mass number is shown by the superscript.






































ATOMS 
– Differ by number of protons

IONS 

– Differ by number of electrons

ISOTOPES 

– Differ by number of neutrons





Example 1: What is the isotopic notation for the isotope carbon-14?
From the periodic table, we see that the atomic number (number of protons) for the element carbon is 6. The name carbon-14 tells us that this isotope's mass number is 14
Answers:
The chemical symbol for carbon is C. Now write the isotopic notation for carbon-14.
146C
We can determine the number of neutrons as 146=8 neutrons.

Example 2. Given the isotopic notation 4822Ti, identify the following:
a) Name of the isotope
b) Mass number
c) Atomic number
d) Number of protons
e) Number of neutrons.
Answers:
a) titanium-48
b) 48
c) 22
d) 22
e) 4822=26

Example 3. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in an atom of 197Au?
Answers:
The superscript 197 is the mass number, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons. According to the list of elements given on the front inside cover of this text, gold has an atomic number of 79. Consequently, an atom of 197Au has 79 protons, 79 electrons, and 197 - 79 = 118 neutrons.

Example 4. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in a Si-28, Br-79, P-32 and I-125 ?
Answers:



Example 5. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in a 138Ba atom?
Answers:
56 protons, 56 electrons, and 82 neutrons


Example 6. 
Determine the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in each silicone isotope. 28Si, 29Si, and 30Si.
(Refer to the periodic table for the atomic number)
Answers:



Example 7. 
Give the number of protons and electrons in each of the following common ions: 
K+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Br, Mn2+, C4–, Cu2+.
