The pilots knew that 22,300 kg of fuel was required for the trip, and they knew that 7682 L of fuel was already in the tank The ground crew added 4916 L of fuel, which was only about one fourth of what was required The crew members used a factor of 1.77 for the fuel density—the problem is that 1.77 has units of pounds per liter and not kilograms per liter!

Similarly, “heavy ice” (D2O, deuterium oxide) floats in “heavy water.” D2O-ice is denser than liquid H2O, however, so cubes made of D2O sink in liquid H2O © Cengage Learning/Charles D Winters Liquid H2O In only a few instances (for example, aluminum, fluorine, and phosphorus) all atoms in a naturally occurring sample of a given element have the same mass Most elements consist of atoms having several different mass numbers For example, there are two kinds of boron atoms, one with a mass of about 10 (10B) and a second with a mass of about 11 (11B) Atoms of tin can have any of 10 different masses Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes All atoms of an element have the same number of protons—five in the case of boron To have different masses, isotopes must have different numbers of neutrons The nucleus of a 10B atom (Z = 5) contains five protons and five neutrons, whereas the nucleus of a 11B atom contains five protons and six neutrons Scientists often refer to a particular isotope by giving its mass number (for example, uranium-238, 238U), but the isotopes of hydrogen are so important that they have special names and symbols All hydrogen atoms have one proton When that is the only nuclear particle, the isotope is called protium, or just “hydrogen.” The isotope of hydrogen with one neutron, 21H, is called deuterium, or “heavy hydrogen” (symbol = D) The nucleus of radioactive hydrogen-3, 31H, or tritium (symbol = T), contains one proton and two neutrons The substitution of one isotope of an element for another isotope of the same element in a compound sometimes can have an interesting effect (Figure 2.2) This is especially true when deuterium is substituted for hydrogen because the mass of deuterium is double that of hydrogen Isotope Abundance A sample of water from a stream or lake will consist almost entirely of H2O where the H atoms are the 1H isotope A few molecules, however, will have deuterium (2H) substituted for 1H We can predict this outcome because we know that 99.985% of all hydrogen atoms on earth are 1H atoms That is, the abundance of 1H atoms is 99.985% Percent abundance ϭ number of atoms of a given isotope ϫ 100% (2.1) total number of atoms of all isotoopes of that element The remainder of naturally occurring hydrogen is deuterium, whose abundance is only 0.015% of the total hydrogen atoms Tritium, the radioactive 3H isotope, occurs naturally in only trace amounts Consider again the two isotopes of boron The boron-10 isotope has an abundance of 19.91%; the abundance of boron-11 is 80.09% Thus, if you could count out 10,000 boron atoms from an “average” natural sample, 1991 of them would be boron-10 atoms and 8009 of them would be boron-11 atoms Determining Atomic Mass and Isotope Abundance • Atomic Masses of Some Isotopes Atom Atomic Mass (u) He 4.0092603 13 C 13.003355 16 O 15.994915 58 Ni 57.935346 60 Ni 59.930788 79 Br 78.918336 81 Br 80.916289 197 Au 196.966543 238 U 238.050784 • Isotopic Masses and the Mass Defect  Actual masses of atoms are always less than the sum of the masses of the subatomic particles composing that atom This is called the mass defect and the reason for it is discussed in Chapter 23 kotz_48288_02_0050-0109.indd 54 The masses of isotopes and their abundances are determined experimentally using a mass spectrometer (Figure 2.3) A gaseous sample of an element is introduced into the evacuated chamber of the spectrometer, and the atoms or molecules of the sample are converted to positively charged particles (called ions) The cloud of ions forms a beam as they are attracted to negatively charged plates within the instrument As the ions stream toward the negatively charged detector, they fly through a magnetic field, which causes the paths of the ions to be deflected The extent of deflection depends on particle mass: The less massive ions are deflected more, and the more massive ions are deflected less The ions, now separated by mass, are detected at the end of the chamber Chemists using modern instruments can measure isotopic masses to as many as nine significant figures Except for carbon-12, whose mass is defined to be exactly 12 u, isotopic masses not have integer values However, the isotopic masses are always very close to the mass numbers for the isotope For example, the mass of an atom of boron-11 (11B, protons and neutrons) is 11.0093 u, and the mass of an atom of iron-58 (58Fe, 26 protons and 32 neutrons) is 57.9333 u 11/18/10 2:05 PM 55 2.4 Atomic Weight IONIZATION ACCELERATIO N DEFLECTION Magnet Electron gun A mass spectrum is a plot of the relative abundance of the charged particles versus the ratio of mass/charge (m/z) Heavy ions are deflected too little e−e−e− e−e−e− e−e−e− ∙ Gas inlet DETECTION 20Ne+ ∙ Repeller Electron trap plate To mass analyzer 22Ne+ Accelerating plates 21Ne+ Magnet Light ions are deflected too much To vacuum pump A sample is introduced as a vapor into the ionization chamber There it is bombarded with highenergy electrons that strip electrons from the atoms or molecules of the sample The resulting positive particles are accelerated by a series of negatively charged accelerator plates into an analyzing chamber Detector This chamber is in a magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the direction of the beam of charged particles The magnetic field causes the beam to curve The radius of curvature depends on the mass and charge of the particles (as well as the accelerating voltage and strength of the magnetic field) Relative Abundance VA P O RIZATION 100 80 60 40 20 20 21 22 m/z Here, particles of 21Ne+ are focused on the detector, whereas beams of ions of 20Ne+ and 22Ne+ (of lighter or heavier mass) experience greater and lesser curvature, respectively, and so fail to be detected By changing the magnetic field, charged particles of different masses can be focused on the detector to generate the observed spectrum FIGURE 2.3 Mass spectrometer A mass spectrometer will separate ions of different mass and charge in a gaseous sample of ions The instrument allows the researcher to determine the accurate mass of each ion, whether the ions are composed of individual atoms, molecules, or molecular fragments rEvIEW & cHEcK FOr SEctIOn 2.3 Silver has two isotopes, one with 60 neutrons (percent abundance = 51.839%) and the other with 62 neutrons What is the symbol of the isotope with 62 neutrons, and what is its percent abundance?

tools in chemistry Not only does it contain a wealth of information, but it can also be used to organize many of the ideas of chemistry It is important to become familiar with its main features and terminology Developing the Periodic Table Although the arrangement of elements in the periodic table is now understood on the basis of atomic structure [▶ Chapters and 7], the table was originally developed from many experimental observations of the chemical and physical properties of elements and is the result of the ideas of a number of chemists in the 18th and 19th centuries In 1869, at the University of St Petersburg in Russia, Dmitri Ivanovitch Mendeleev (1834–1907) was pondering the properties of the elements as he wrote a textbook on chemistry On studying the chemical and physical properties of the elements, he realized that, if the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, elements with similar properties appeared in a regular pattern That is, he saw a periodicity or periodic repetition of the properties of elements Mendeleev organized the known elements into a table by lining them up in horizontal rows in order of increasing atomic mass (page 50) Every time he came to an element with properties similar to one already in the row, he started a new row For example, the elements Li, Be, B, C, N, O, and F were in a row Sodium was the next element then 11/22/10 9:14 AM 2.5 The Periodic Table A CLOSER LOOK by Eric R Scerri, UCLA The Story of the Periodic Table John C Kotz Dmitri Mendeleev was probably the greatest scientist produced by Russia The youngest of 14 children, he was taken by his mother on a long journey, on foot, in order to enroll him into a university However, several attempts initially proved futile because, as a Siberian, Mendeleev was barred from attending certain institutions His mother did succeed in enrolling him in a teacher training college, thus giving Mendeleev a lasting interest in science education, which contributed to his eventual discovery of the periodic system that essentially simplified the subject of inorganic chemistry Statue of Dmitri Mendeleev and a periodic table This statue and mural are at the Institute of Metrology in St Petersburg, Russia After completing a doctorate, Mendeleev headed to Germany for a postdoctoral fellowship and then returned to Russia, where he set about writing a book aimed at summarizing all of inorganic chemistry It was while writing this book that he identified the organizing principle with which he is now invariably connected—the periodic system of the elements More correctly, though, the periodic system was developed by Mendeleev, as well as five other scientists, over a period of about 10 years, after the Italian chemist Cannizzaro had published a consistent set of atomic weights in 1860 It appears that Mendeleev was unaware of the work of several of his co-discoverers, however In essence, the periodic table groups together sets of elements with similar properties into vertical columns The underlying idea is that if the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weights, there are approximate repetitions in their chemical properties after certain intervals As a result of the existence of the periodic table, students and even professors of chemistry were no longer obliged to learn the properties of all the elements in a disorganized fashion Instead, they could concentrate on the properties of representative members of the eight columns or groups in the early shortform periodic table, from which they could predict properties of other group members Mendeleev is justly regarded as the leading discoverer of the periodic table since he continued to champion the finding and drew out its consequences to a far greater extent than any of his contemporaries First, he accommodated the 65 or so elements that were known at the time into a coherent scheme based on ascending order of atomic weight while also reflecting chemical and physical similarities Next, he noticed gaps in his system, which he reasoned would eventually be filled by elements that had not yet been discovered In addition, by judicious interpolation between the properties of known elements, Mendeleev predicted the nature of a number of completely new elements Within a period of about 20 years, three of these elements—subsequently called gallium, scandium, and germanium—were isolated and found to have almost the exact properties that Mendeleev had predicted What is not well known is that about half of the elements that Mendeleev predicted were never found But given the dramatic success of his early predictions, these later lapses have largely been forgotten Eric Scerri, The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance, Oxford University Press, New York, 2007 known; because its properties closely resembled those of Li, Mendeleev started a new row As more and more elements were added to the table, new rows were begun, and elements with similar properties (such as Li, Na, and K) were placed in the same vertical column An important feature of Mendeleev’s table—and a mark of his genius—was that he left an empty space in a column when he believed an element was not known but should exist and have properties similar to the elements above and below it in his table He deduced that these spaces would be filled by undiscovered elements For example, he left a space between Si (silicon) and Sn (tin) in Group 4A for an element he called eka-silicon Based on the progression of properties in this group, Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of the missing element With the discovery of germanium (Ge) in 1886, Mendeleev’s prediction was confirmed In Mendeleev’s table the elements were ordered by increasing mass A glance at a modern table, however, shows that, if some elements (such as Ni and Co, Ar and K, and Te and I) were ordered by mass and not chemical and physical properties, they would be reversed in their order of appearance Mendeleev recognized these discrepancies and simply assumed the atomic masses known at that time were inaccurate—not a bad assumption based on the analytical methods then in use In fact, his order is correct and what was wrong was his assumption that element properties were a function of their mass kotz_48288_02_0050-0109.indd 59 59 • Mendeleev and Atomic Numbers Mendeleev developed the periodic table based on atomic masses The concept of atomic numbers was not known until after the development of the structure of the atom in the early 20th
