Points to Remember:
Writing the charge on an ion
Correct Incorrect
Na+ Na1+, Na+1
Ca2+ Ca+2
Cl– Cl1–, Cl–1
S2- S-2
An atom lost electrons – cation
An atom gained electrons – anion
An atom CANNOT donate protons!!!
1.1 Atoms and Molecules
An atom is the smallest unit of an element
In an atom, there are three subatomic particles:
proton , electron and nuetron .
Nucleus :
proton, p (+ve)
neutron, n (neutral)
Electron, e (-ve)
Surrounding the
nucleus
Subatomic Particles
Definition
• In a neutral atom,
no. of protons = number of electron.
e.g: 23
11Na 35
17Cl

Isotopes
Isotopes: two or more atoms of the same
element that have the same number of protons
in their nucleus but different number of
neutrons.

1.1 Atoms and Molecules
Now, we will learn about relative atomic mass (Ar),
relative molecular mass (Mr) and average atomic mass
Objective for today’s lesson REMARKS
a) Define relative atomic mass, Ar and Mention the device
relative molecular mass, Mr based on the used to measure Ar
C-12 scale.
b) Calculate the average atomic mass of an
element given the relative abundances of
isotopes or a mass spectrum.
1.1 Atoms and Molecules
Example
Determine the relative atomic mass of an element Y if the
ratio of the atomic mass of Y to carbon-12 atom is 0.45.
Solution
Mass of atom Y = 0.45
Mass of atom C-12 1
Ar Y= Mass of one atom of Y____
1/12 x Mass of one atom of C-12
= 12 x 0.45
= 5.4
Relative molecular mass, (Mr ) of a molecule is equal to
the sum of the relative atomic masses of all atoms that
comprise that molecule.
Example
= 79.11
