4.3 Atomic Number
Elements are different because they contain different numbers of protons.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms Mass Number
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom is called the mass number.
The number of neutrons in an atom is the difference between the mass number and atomic number.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms4.3 Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Because isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons, they also have different mass numbers.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms Isotopes
Despite these differences, isotopes are chemically alike because they have identical numbers of protons and electrons.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms Atomic Mass
It is useful to to compare the relative masses of atoms to a standard reference isotope. Carbon-12 is the standard reference isotope. Cabon-12 has a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units.
An atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms Atomic Mass
The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of the element.
A weighted average mass reflects both the mass and the relative abundance of the isotopes as they occur in nature.

Atomic Mass
To calculate the atomic mass of an element, multiply the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance, expressed as a decimal, and then add the products.

For example, carbon has two stable isotopes:
• Carbon-12, which has a natural abundance of 98.89%, and
• Carbon-13, which has a natural abundance of 1.11%.

>Distinguishing Among Atoms The Periodic Table—A Preview
A periodic table is an arrangement of elements in which the elements are separated into groups based on a set of repeating properties.
A periodic table allows you to easily compare the properties of one element (or a group of elements) to another element (or group of elements).

• Each horizontal row of the periodic table is called a period.
• Within a given period, the properties of the elements vary as you move across it from element to element.

• Each vertical column of the periodic table is called a group, or family.
• Elements within a group have similar chemical and physical properties.
