Weighted Average Atomic Mass

What is a weighted average?
Your grades are weighted averages. (Major – 60%,

Minor – 40%)

Why do we need one?
It is the best estimate we can use.

There are two different types (isotopes) of copper atoms.

Cu-63 (62.93) accounts for 69.09% of all copper atoms
Cu-65 (64.94) accounts for 30.91% of all copper

What is the mass of copper on the Periodic Table?

63.546

The atomic masses on the Periodic Table are averages. Specifically,
they are weighted averages.

Emission of Energy by Atoms

A.

Electrons surrounding an atom can absorb a discrete packet of energy
called a ______photon_____ to become “excited”.

B. When excited electrons lose that extra energy they fall back into their

__ground state_______. The release of energy by the electron results
in emission of a photon of a certain wavelength. Each element has its
own unique spectrum of wavelengths that are released.

4

65

Orbital shapes

As you can see, the s orbital is a circular path around the nucleus and that is why there is only one option. The p orbital is a figure-8 path that can be on the x-axis, the y-axis, or the z-axis in a 3-D atom. This is why there are 3 different p orbitals.
