- Subatomic Particles Protons and electrons are the only particles that have a charge. Protons and neutrons have essentially the same mass. The mass of an electron is so small we ignore it.
- Slide 3
- Isotopes Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different masses. Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
- Slide 4
- Symbols of Elements nuclear General format for identifying a particular nuclide
- Slide 5
- Symbols of Elements Elements are symbolized by one or two letters.
- Slide 6
- Symbols of Elements All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is called the atomic number, Z.
- Slide 7
- Symbols of Elements The mass of an atom in atomic mass units (amu) is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.

- Symbols of Elements 12 C Nuclear SymbolHyphen notation Carbon-12
- Slide 9
- Atomic Mass Atomic and molecular masses can be measured with great accuracy using a mass spectrometer.

- Average Mass Because in the real world we use large amounts of atoms and molecules, we use average masses in calculations. IsotopeMass (amu)Natural abundance (%) Neon-2019.992490.4838 Neon-2120.99400.2696 Neon-2221.99149.2465

- Average Mass Average mass is calculated from the isotopes of an element weighted by their relative abundances. IsotopeMass (amu)Natural abundance (%) Neon-2019.992490.4838 Neon-2120.99400.2696 Neon-2221.99149.2465
