Isotopes

What I Need to Know

Recognize common isotopes and their uses STEM_GC11AMIc-e-19

What’s In

Review on Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons

Atoms of an element have a constant or fixed number of protons. The atomic number gives
the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. For the neutral atom, the number of
protons is equal to the number of its electrons. The atomic number is often represented by
the symbol Z.

Z = nuclear charge = number of protons = number of electrons in neutral form

The mass number is represented by the symbol A. The sum of the number of protons and
neutrons is called the mass number. An atom may be represented by the nuclear symbol AZE
where:

E = symbol of the element

A = mass number
Z = atomic number

A = number of protons (Z) + number of neutrons

The protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons.

Let us look at some examples of nuclear symbols of elements

1.2412Mg (Magnesium)
Atomic numver (Z)=12
# of protons: 12
# of electrons: 12
Number of neutrons: (A-Z)
(24-12) = 12

Activity 1: Subatomic Particles

Directions: Complete the table below by supplying the correct quantity or number of
particles. The example before may be used as a guide.

mass Number Protons Neutrons Electrons
Phosphorus 31 15
Barium 56 81
Chromium 28 24
Bismuth 209 83
Magnesium 12 12

What Is It

John Dalton’s atomic theory states that all atoms of an element have the same mass.
However, with modern science and techniques, isotopes have been discovered. This
discovery revised Dalton’s statement that atoms of the same element have the same mass
numbers. In other words, isotopes are atoms of the same element but has different numbers
of neutrons.

For example, all carbon atoms (Z=6) have 6 protons as well as electrons, but only 98.89% of
naturally occurring carbon atoms have 6 neutrons (A=12).

Sample Problem 1. Determining the number of Subatomic Particles in the Isotopes of an

Element

Problem: Silicon (Si) is a major component in semiconductor chips. It has three naturally
occurring isotopes, 28Si, 29Si, and 30Si. Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and
electrons in each silicon isotope.

Plan: The mass number (A) of each of the three isotopes is given, which is the sum of
protons and neutrons. Using the periodic table, we can find the atomic number (Z) which
equals the number of electrons. We obtain the number of neutrons by subtracting (A-Z).

Solution: According to the periodic table, the atomic number of Silicon is 14. Therefore,
28
Si has 14 protons, 14 electrons, and 14 neutrons (28-14)
29
Si has 14 protons, 14 electrons, and 15 neutrons (29-14)
30
Si has 14 protons, 14 electrons, and 16 neutrons (30-14)

 1.2 Common Chemical Substances

What’s In
Previously, we have learned how the different properties of matter as well as
its composition. We have also discussed separation techniques in different mixtures.
Now, as we’re already talking about substances and mixtures, let’s take a look at
common chemical substances (STEM_GC11MPIa-b-9) and we will try to recognize
them as well as compare consumer products on the basis of their components for
use, safety, quality, and cost (STEM_GC11MPIa-b-1)

What’s New

Matter can be classified into three types based on its composition – elements, compounds,
and mixtures. Elements are two kinds of substances: a substance is matter whose
composition is fixed. Mixtures are not substances because they have a variable composition

1. Elements. An element is the simplest type of matter with unique physical and chemical
properties. It consists of only one kind of atom, and, therefore, cannot be broken down into a
simpler type of matter by any physical or chemical methods. Each element has a name,
such as carbon, fluorine, or oxygen. A sample of fluorine contains only fluorine atoms.
In nature, most elements exist as population of atoms, either separated or in contact
with each other, depending on the physical state. Several elements occur in molecular form:
molecule is an independent structure of two or more atoms bound together. Oxygen, for
example, occurs in air as diatomic (two atom) molecules.

2. Compounds. Compounds are substances formed when two or more elements combine
through a chemical change. Sodium chloride, sugar, and water are examples of compounds.
Another feature of a compound is that its properties are different from the properties of its
compound elements. Example: soft, silvery sodium metal and yellow-green, poisonous
chlorine gas are very different from the compound they form- white, crystalline sodium
chloride, or table salt!
Unlike an element, a compound can be broken down into simpler substances. For
example, am electric current breaks down molten sodium chloride into metallic sodium and
chlorine gas.

3. Mixtures. A mixture consists of two or more substances (elements and/or compounds)

that are mixed together. Because a mixture is NOT a substance, the components of a
mixture can vary in their parts by mass. For example, a mixture of the compounds sodium
chloride and water can have different parts by mass of salt to water. A mixture also retains
many of the properties of its components.

What’s In

CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY

Many science principles are applied in industries. Industrialization not only uplifts the
quality of human existence, but also propels nation to higher levels of economic prosperity.

Many pure substances and mixtures, organic or inorganic in nature, are now
commercially manufactured and used by school and government laboratories, households,
or industries as raw materials for intermediary or final products. They undergo hundreds of
test before they are sold in the market.

Substances may be pure or impure, knowledge of the properties of the components

in the mixture facilitates the manufacture of products to a certain degree of purity. For
example, impure mineral ores are processed into useful metals.

Materials exist in gas, solid, or liquid states. Packing them may pose a problem.
Materials used as containers are carefully chosen to ensure that no harmful reactions will
take place between the content and the container. The container must be free from outside
contamination.

SUMMARY:
 Physical properties are properties not responsible for any change in the
composition of a substance, though its form may change.
 Chemical properties involve chemical change which forms two completely
different substances.
 Extensive property is that which changes when the amount of material
undergoes change. Examples of this property are mass, length, and volume.
 Intensive property does not depend on the size or amount of the substance.
Examples of this property are temperature, color, odor, hardness, density,
melting and boiling point, and molecular weight.
