Atomic Number
An atom can be thought of as being
formed from a number of combined 'H
atoms with additional neutrons in the
nucleus. The mass of an atom is less
than that of the combined masses of
the nuclear particles from which it is
formed. This "mass loss" is an
indication of the stablity of the atom's
nucleus. In order to compare different
atoms, the relative mass loss (in g/mol)
is defined as:
[(number protons x mass of 'H)+(number of neutrons x mass of n)] - atomic mass
number of protons + number of neutrons
The atom's binding energy (the energy
associated with holding the nucleus
together) can be calculated as:
relative mass loss (kg/mol) x (2.998 x 10°m/s)
The resulting units are joules/mole.
Because calculating the relative mass
loss involves dividing by the total
number of nucleons (protons +
neutrons), the binding energy is called
the 'binding energy per nucleon.'

FILL IN THE BLANK This experiment concerns kinetics and isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of an element that differ only in the number of (electrons, neutrons, protons?) We rarely talk about isotopes unless radioactivity is involved. A radioactive isotope can emit alpha rays which are (electrons, photons, helium 4 nuclei?) beta rays which are (electrons, photons, helium 4 nuclei?) or gamma rays which are (electrons, photons, helium 4 nuclei?) Despite our rare discussion of isotopes we actually cover them very early in our study of chemistry when we learn that the Periodic Table advertises the average atomic mass of an element as a weighted average of the various isotopes. Chlorine has two isotopes: chlorine-35 massing at about 35 g/mol and chlorine-37 massing at about 37 g/mol. The average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 g/mol instead of being close to 36 g/mol because (Cl-37, Cl-35?) is more abundant than the other isotope. The fact that the Periodic Table reports weighted average molar…

Why is the neutron to proton ratio so important? It determines the stability of the nucleus based on the shielding effect of the neutrons. The neutron to proton ratio describes a radioactive element's half-life. Scientists made up this concept because they wanted to create radiation.

One method for determining the amount of corn in early Native American diets is the stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) technique. As corn photosynthesizes, it concentrates the isotope carbon-13, whereas most other plants concentrate carbon-12. Overreliance on corn consumption can then be correlated with certain diseases, because corn lacks the essential amino acid lysine. Archaeologists use a mass spectrometer to separate the 12C and 13C isotopes in samples of human remains. Suppose you use a velocity selector to obtain singly ionized (missing one electron) atoms of speed 8.50 km /s, and you want to bend them within a uniform magnetic field in a semicircle of diameter 25.0 cm for the 12C.
