An element is a
substance
made up of
atoms
that all have the same number of
protons
in their
nucleus
Elements consist of atoms with the same atomic number:
Atoms can have different number of
protons
,
neutrons
and
electrons.
For example, an atom with
one proton
in it's nucleus is
hydrogen
and an atom with
two protons
is
helium
If a substance only contains atoms with the same number of protons it's called an
element.
There are about
100
different elements
Atoms can be represented by
symbols
:
Atoms of each
element
can be represented by a
one
or
two letter
symbol
Some make perfect sense-
C
=
Carbon
,
O
=
Oxygen
,
H
=
Hydrogen
Other's do not-
Na
=
Sodium
,
K
=
Potassium
,
Fe
=
Iron
Isotopes:
Different forms of the same
element
Same number of
protons
but a different number of
neutrons
Isotopes have the same
atomic
number but different
mass
numbers
E.G. carbon
12
has
6
protons,
6
electrons and
6
neutrons whereas carbon
13
has
6
protons,
6
electrons and
7
neutrons.
There are a lot of elements that have isotopes so they use relative atomic mass rather than
mass
number
Calculate
relative atomic mass
by doing
sum
of (
isotope abundance
x
isotope mass number
)
divided
by sum of
abundances
of all
isotopes.
Cu 63 has abundance of 69.2% and Cu 65 has abundance of 30.8%.
Relative Atomic Mass= (
69.2
x
63
) + (
30.8
x
65
) /
100
=
63.6
