DATE Isotopes and Atomic Masses Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. | Therefore, isotopes have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The average atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of all the atomic masses of the isotopes of that element. 1. Four isotopes of lead include lead-204, 6. Complete the following table for three lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208. The ‘isotopes of the element barium (Ba). average atomic mass of a lead atom is 207.2 amu. Which isotope of lead is likely to be the most abundant? 2 What do all isotopes of an element have ‘in common? What additional information must you have 7, Write the atomic symbol for two isotopes to determine how many neutrons are present of uranium (U), whose atomic number is 92. in a silver-108 atom? One isotope has 142 neutrons, and the other isotope has 146 neutrons. 8 Calculate the average atomic mass of the element iron (Fe) from the following table. Explain why carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 are not considered isotopes. Explain why oxygen-16 and 30 are not ‘considered isotopes. ae ~~ (2 As nd the Psa Tae
