Isotope - one more time https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzGRyLjDEz_XdFJrN2ZBNkM4TDg • Slip Quiz • Modern Model of the Atom • Limitations of Model 1 in Isotopes Pogil • Average Atomic Mass • Looking for Patterns - Analysis Activity • Homework Slip Quiz 1.How many neutrons in an atom of neon-21 (21Ne). State clearly how you figure it out. 2. How many electrons in a neon-21 atom? How do you know? Slip Quiz 1.How many neutrons in an atom of neon-21 (21Ne). State how you know. I find neon’s atomic number on periodic table, neon has atomic number 10 which tells me it has 10 protons in its nucleus. The remainder of the particles in the nucleus are neutrons. Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons 21 - 10 = 11 So Ne-21 has 11 neutrons. Slip Quiz 2. How many electrons in a neon-21 atom? How do you know? I know that for an electrically neutral atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons in the electron cloud around the nucleus. For question 1 I found the atomic number of neon-21 is 10, hence the atoms have 10 protons and must also have 10 electrons. Isotopes Back to last Extension Questions 17. What characteristics of Model 1 are inconsistent with our understanding of what atoms look like? Note, limitations of models always exist, and we should be aware of them so we don’t try to use the model in situations where it does not really apply. Isotopes Back to last Extension Questions 17. What characteristics of Model 1 are inconsistent with our understanding of what atoms look like? A scientific model is a representation (mathematical, conceptual or even physical) to help us understand, explain and predict phenomena that cannot be easily observed directly. Limits of the Atom Model in our Pogil packet. 17. What characteristics of Model 1 are inconsistent with our understanding of what atoms look like? ??? Limits of the Atom Model in our Pogil packet. 17. What characteristics of Model 1 are inconsistent with our understanding of what atoms look like? •Electrons are much smaller than protons and neutrons yet in Model 1 they are all represented by similar sized symbols. •Electrons are much further from the nucleus than represented in Model 1. •Atoms and all the subatomic particles are 3Dimensional and not flat • Protons are not black Average Atomic Mass How are the masses on the periodic table determined? Why? Most elements have more than one naturally occurring isotope. As you learned previously, the atoms of those isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons), making them belong to the same element, but they have different mass numbers (total number of protons and neutrons) giving them different atomic masses. Skip to page 4 Average Atomic Mass How are the masses on the periodic table determined? So which mass is put on the periodic table for each element? Is it the most common isotope’s mass? The heaviest mass? This activity will help you answer that question. Average Atomic Mass How are the masses on the periodic table determined? Model 1 - A Strip of Magnesium Metal 1.

Do all of the atoms in magnesium in Model 1 have the same atomic mass? Explain. All of the atoms of magnesium in the model do not have the same atomic mass. There are three different isotopes of magnesium shown in the model. The three isotopes have different mass numbers and so the atomic mass of the atoms of each isotope will also be different. 4. For the sample of 20 atoms, draw a table indicating the mass numbers of the three isotopes and the number of atoms of each isotope present. 4.

Model 2 - Natural Abundance Information for Magnesium b) Is Model 1 accurate…? Yes, for the limited number of atoms shown in Model 1, the percentage is close to the actual values for natural abundance of magnesium isotopes (accurate). 8. If you could pick up an atom and put it on a balance, the mass of that atom would most likely be _________ amu because 8. If you could pick up an atom and put it on a balance, the mass of that atom would most likely be 23.9850 amu because there are more Mg-24 in the sample than any other isotope. This isotope is most common (most abundant), so chances are highest that I would pick an atom of that mass. 9. From periodic table mass of Mg is 24.305 amu Does the decimal number shown on the periodic table for magnesium match any of the atomic masses listed in Model 2? No 10. The periodic table does not show the atomic mass of every isotope for an element. a. There is not enough room in the boxes on the periodic table to put information about 2, 3, or even more isotopes. 10. The periodic table does not show the atomic mass of every isotope for an element. b. In most cases a scientist will be working with a mixture of all the (naturally occurring) isotopes of an element, so information about individual isotopes in not necessary. 11. What would be a practical way of showing the mass of magnesium atoms in the periodic table given that most elements occur as a mixture of isotopes? 11.

  • Average Or Apparent Mass of an Element SCIENTIFIC Isotopes and Atomic Mass
    Average or Apparent Mass of an Element SCIENTIFIC Isotopes and Atomic Mass Introduction At the beginning of the 19th century, John Dalton proposed his new atomic theory—all atoms of the same element are identical and equal in mass. It was a simple yet revolutionary theory. It was also not quite right. The discovery of radioactivity in the 20th century made it possible to study the actual structure and mass of atoms. Gradually, evidence was obtained that atoms of the same element could have different masses. These atoms were called isotopes. How are isotopes different from one another? What is the relationship between the atomic mass of an element and the mass of each isotope? Concepts • Isotope • Atomic and electron structure • Mass number • Atomic mass Materials Bags, zipper-lock, 15 Lima beans, 20 oz Balance, centigram (0.01-g precision) Navy beans, 4 oz Kidney beans, 12 oz Weighing dishes or small cups, 4 Labeling pen or marker Safety Precautions Although the materials used in this activity are considered nonhazardous, please observe all normal laboratory safety guidelines.

I. Karakas and J. C. Lattanzio School of Mathematical Sciences, Monash University, Wellington Road, Clayton, Vic 3800, Australia [email protected] Received 2003 January 20, accepted 2003 May 30 Abstract: We investigate the production of aluminium and magnesium in asymptotic giant branch models covering a wide range in mass and composition. We evolve models from the pre-main sequence, through all intermediate stages, to near the end of the thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase. We then perform detailed nucleosynthesis calculations from which we determine the production of the magnesium and aluminium isotopes as a function of the stellar mass and composition. We present the stellar yields of sodium and the magnesium and aluminium isotopes. We discuss the abundance predictions from the stellar models in reference to abundance anomalies observed in globular cluster stars.

The core of 16234 consists of forsteritic olivine, fassaite, melilite (Ak&, and spinel, all of which show isotopic mass fractionation, averaging -30.6L/amu for magnesium and - lO.OL/amu for silicon; it is enclosed in a mantle consisting of aluminous melilite (Ak 16-6o),spinel, perovskite, and hibonite. Hibonite and spine1 in the mantle are enriched in heavy isotopes of magnesium by S- 1%/amu relative to the core. 1623-5 originally formed by solidification of a magnesium-rich melt. The endemic isotopic mass fractionation may have been caused by evaporation of that melt or may reflect an earlier evaporation event affecting the reservoir from which the interior of 1623-5 formed. Later fiash remelting of the outer part of the core, and vola- tilization of SiO2 and MgO from the melt so produced, caused formation of a mantle that is in isotopic and petrologic di~uili~~um with the core.

  • NGSS Lesson Planning STARS Elements Grade/Grade Band: HS Topic: Periodic Table: Properties and Symbols Lesson # Unit 1
    NGSS Lesson Planning STARS Elements Grade/Grade Band: HS Topic: Periodic Table: Properties and Symbols Lesson # Unit 1 Brief Lesson Description: Challenge students to discover repeating patterns and properties of the elements. Performance Expectation(s): HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. Specific Learning Outcomes: 1. Students will identify and describe the organization and components of the periodic table. 2. Students will determine relationships between chemical and physical properties of elemental families in the periodic table. 3. Students will manipulate protons, neutrons, and electrons to understand the composition and atomic symbols of each element on the periodic table. 4. Students will understand and apply the octet rule to create stable chemical compounds. Narrative / Background Information Prior Student Knowledge Familiarity with the Bohr model. Realization that the model of the atom is used to explain observable properties of elements and compounds. Physical changes. Elements, compounds, and mixtures. Remind students of the following background explanations during the Opening Activity: Both physical and chemical changes are occurring when a candle is lit. Candle wax is essentially a lot of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together as molecules called hydrocarbons. These atoms and molecules are vibrating, and they are attracted to one another as a solid. These attractions between the molecules are called intermolecular forces. When the solid wax is heated, the molecules move faster and faster, and the intermolecular forces begin to break. Eventually, the solid melts to form liquid wax.

INTRODUCTION One of the experiments for which electrostatic generators are particularly well adapted is the study of proton capture reactions in light nuclei. Among the light elements magnesium remains as one In which proton capture reactions have not been investigated thoroughly. In the past the study of these reactions in magnesium has been confined to relatively low en­ ergies and has been complicated by the fact that there are three steble isotopes of magnesium, all relatively abundant in natural magnesium. The work done by other investigators in the low energy region indicated that there were resonances in the spectrum that originated in each of the three isotopes. These investigations are discussed in more detail in Section II of this paper.
