Electrons in Atoms

2.1 Cite the difference between atomic mass and atomic weight.

Solution

Atomic mass is the mass of an individual atom, whereas atomic weight is the average (weighted) of the
atomic masses of an atom's naturally occurring isotopes.
2.2 Chromium has four naturally-occurring isotopes: 4.34% of 50Cr, with an atomic weight of 49.9460
amu, 83.79% of 52Cr, with an atomic weight of 51.9405 amu, 9.50% of 53Cr, with an atomic weight of 52.9407 amu,
and 2.37% of 54Cr, with an atomic weight of 53.9389 amu. On the basis of these data, confirm that the average
atomic weight of Cr is 51.9963 amu.

Solution

The average atomic weight of chromium
is computed by adding fraction-of-occurrence/atomic
weight products for the three isotopes. Thus
