Document Summary
Isotopes: atoms having the same z (atomic #) but different mass # (a) = different number of neutrons. Atomic weight (aw) weighted average mass of all isotopes of an element average atomic mass (units = amu) Ma= mass of a in amu fa= fractional abundance of isotope a fb= fractional abundance of isotope b. Mc=mass of c in amu fc=fractional abundance of isotope c. Aw of x= mafa + mbfb +mcfc units=amu. Periodic table: horizontal rows= periods, vertical columns=groups (families, elements arranged in order of increasing z (atomic #, elements in same group have similar chemical properties = periodic .
