ISOTOPES AND AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS
•
Compare & contrast Mass Number and Atomic Mass:
Elements come in a variety of isotopes, meaning they are made up of atoms with the same atomic number but different
atomic masses. These atoms differ in the number of neutrons.
The average atomic mass is the weighted average of all the isotopes of an element.

Grading policy is that tests are worth 55%, quizzes worth 30%, and homework worth 15% of your average.
1. Look over the data before you begin the problem. Estimate this student’s average before you begin the
calculation. Will his average be closer to 74, 82, or 84?
2. Now, calculate this student’s average according to our grading policy.
LAB: AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS
Background Information: Mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom. The electrons are so small
that they do not really contribute to the atom’s mass. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number
of protons but a different number of neutrons. The mass you see on the periodic table is the average atomic mass. It
takes into account the mass of each isotope of an element and the percent abundance in nature.
Procedure:
1. Determine the average atomic mass of fictitious elements.
 Note: At each station you will see bags. Each little bag represents an atom. DO NOT OPEN THE LITTLE
BAGS!
2. Count the total number of bags (atoms) for the element.
3. Separate the bags based on isotope name (labeled on the front of the bag).
4. Count how many bags (atoms) of each isotope.
5. Calculate the percent abundance. (# atoms for each isotope/total atoms)
6. Determine the average atomic mass for the element. (Mass # of the isotope x percent abundance. Add up the
total)
7. Determine the number of protons for each element.
For Example:
Sica-11

Nuclear Fission vs. Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear
f“i”s s i o n
(Spl“ i ”tting an atom into two new ones)
In nuclear fission reactions (also called radioactive decay),
a neutron is aimed at the nucleus of a large, unstable
atom, like uranium, thorium, or other radioactive
elements. The extra mass of the neutron causes the
radioactive nucleus to split apart, forming lighter
elements, free neutrons, and great quantities of energy.
This process causes convection currents that move Earth’s
tectonic plates, and generate earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions.
Nuclear Fission:






Nuclear
Source of energy in the core of the Earth that produces heat from the decay of radioactive
elements.
Produces vast quantities of energy.
Does not produce particulate air pollution like fossil fuels and coal.
Involves the splitting of harmful radioactive elements.
Loss of control leads to harmful radiation exposure.
Produces a radioactive waste product that will need to be stored.
f“u”s i o n
(combining/fusing two atoms together into one new atom)
During fusion reactions, nuclei collide and fuse, eventually forming nuclei of heavier elements and
producing enormous amounts of energy. Fusion of hydrogen to helium occurs in the sun and is the
source for all external weather related events.
Nuclear Fusion:
 Source of energy in the Sun that produces heat from the fusing of elements like hydrogen.
 Produces unsurpassed quantities of energy.
 Does not produce particulate air pollution like fossil fuels and coal.
 Does not produce a radioactive waste product that will need to be stored.
 Currently, we lack the technology to maintain reactions as a viable energy source.
20
**Write Fission or Fusion next to each of the descriptions below:**
1. Generates a large volume of solid radioactive waste.
2. Occurs in the core of the Earth.
3. The reaction occurs only at extremely high temperatures.
4. Earth’s source in internal energy. (volcanoes, plate motion, geothermal, etc.)
5. The products of this reaction are not radioactive.
6. Occurs only in the core of the Sun.
7. Earth’s source of external energy (atmosphere, oceans, weather, plants, etc.).
8. Also called radioactive decay.
9. Responsible for providing heat for the convection in the interior of the Earth.
10. A potential power source but we lack the technology to maintain the reactions so we are unable to
perform these reactions on Earth.
11. The one with a “u” in it._
12. The one with two “i’s” in it.
13. The one that sounds like “fuse”
14. The one that almost rhymes with “split.”

observation, indicate what he was able to conclude about the atom.
A) Observation #1: Rutherford noticed that about 1 in 10,000 of the positively charged
particles was deflected. He discovered the _______________________.
B) Observation #2: Rutherford noticed that a majority of the positively charged particles
went straight through the gold foil and were not deflected. He discovered the
_______________________.
