Average Atomic Mass
In looking at the masses of the elements on the periodic
table it is evident that most values listed aren’t close to
being whole numbers
Why?
These values are actually weighted averages that represent
all the naturally occurring isotopes and the relative
abundance in which they are found in nature
Atomic Weight (Average Atomic Mass)
is the weighted average
mass of all the naturally occurring
isotopesof that element.
Average Atomic Mass
• The average atomic mass may be determined by
calculation from any analysis yielding the actual masses
of the isotopes and some relative proportion of their
presence (an actual number of nuclides or aspercentages of nuclides)
• A “rough estimate” may be obtained if the mass numbers
are utilized
classification of matter
example
pure substances
Examples: Gold (Au), Phosphorus (P4), Oxygen (O2)
elements
Elements are pure substances that are made up of homoatomic molecules or individual atoms of the same kind
Compound
Examples: H2O, C6H12O6, AgCl
Compounds are pure substances that are made up of heteroatomic molecules or individual atoms (ions) of two or more different kinds

Rows are called Periods

elements
Element is the simplest form of matter that
can not be broken down by chemical means;
One element can be changed into another
element by nuclear methods
• Are the building blocks of matter
• Currently: Type of matter composed of atoms that all have the same atomic #s (Identical atoms)
• 118 elements known today Of the 118 known only the first 98 are known to
occur naturally on earth
• Those that do not occur naturally have been artificially produced by man as synthetic products of nuclear reactions such as Einsteinium ,
Nobelium
Hydrogen (H) The lightest & the most abundant element in the universe [75%, followed by Helium 23%]
• Carbon (C) The 2 nd most abundant
element[18.5%] in human body after
Oxygen
• Oxygen (O) The most abundant element on earth crust [47% followed by Si 28%]
A symbol is assigned to each element. The symbol is based on
the name of the element and consists of one capital letter or a
capital letter followed by a lower case letter.
– Some symbols are based on the Latin or German name of the
element.

B. Sulfur

molecules
A molecule is the smallest
particle of a pure substance that
is capable of a stable
independent existence

Dimensional analysis/ factor method
A length of rope is measured to be 1834 cm. How many
meters is this?
The factor- method for solving numerical problems is a four-step
systematic approach to problem solving.
• Step 1: Write down the known or given quantity. Include both the numerical value and units of the quantity.
• Step 2: Leave some working space and set the known quantity equal to the
units of the unknown quantity.
• Step 3: Multiply the known quantity by one or more factors, such that the
units of the factor cancel the units of the known quantity and generate the
units of the unknown quantity.
• Step 4: After you generate the desired units of the unknown quantity, do
the necessary arithmetic to produce the final numerical answer.
example
1834cm(1m/100cm)=18.34m

Exceptional Electron Configurations
Noble Gas Core Electron Configurations
• Recall, the electron configuration for Na is: Na: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
• We can abbreviate the electron configuration by indicating the innermost electrons with the symbol
of the preceding noble gas.
• The preceding noble gas with an atomic number less than sodium is neon, Ne. We rewrite the electron configuration:
Na: [Ne] 3s1
The periodic table can be used as a guide for electron configurations.
• The period number is the value of n.
• Groups 1A and 2A have the s-orbital filled.
• Groups 3A - 8A have the p-orbital filled.
• Groups 3B - 2B have the d-orbital filled.
• The lanthanides and actinides have the f-orbital
filled. We can use the periodic table to predict which
sublevel is being filled by a particular element.

Three rules—the aufbau principle, the Pauli
exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule—tell you how to find the electron configurations of atoms.
• We use a numbering system to indicate
electrons in an atom
• Its given first by a number: 1,2,3,4, etc...
dictated by the period number electron shell
• Then follows a lower case letter: s,p,d, f...
dictated by the group from the periodic table orbital type
• Then follows a superscript given over the letter: indicates number of electrons in that orbital
• First, determine how many electrons are in the
atom. Iron has 26 electrons.(nutral atom electrons and atomic number/#protons is the same)
• Arrange the energy sublevels according to
increasing energy:
–1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d ...
• Fill each sublevel with electrons until you have
used all the electrons in the atom:
–Fe: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d 6
• The sum of the superscripts equals the atomic
number of iron (26)

– As3+
• Write a ground state electron configuration for
these ions.

• Write the electron configuration of the neutral atom.
• Remove electrons from the orbital with the highest principal QN (value of n)

• B. Fe [Ar] 3d6
• C. Fe [Ar] 4s2 3d4
• D. Fe [Ar] 4s1 3d1
An excited atom has an electron or electrons which are
not in the lowest energy state. Excited atoms are
unstable energetically. The electrons eventually fall to a
lower level. * is used to indicate an excited atom. For
example: *Li 1s2 3p1. (The ground state for Li is 1s2 2s1.)
• Write an excited electron configuration for the following
atoms.
• *Al
• *K 22
