What is matter?
1. Matter is made up of elements, compounds and mixtures
2. The basic building block of matter is called atom.
3. An element consists of same kind of atoms e.g. Fe
Anything that occupies space and possesses mass is called matter.
Example: air, earth, animals, trees, atoms,…
The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas
3. A compound is made up of 2 or more kinds of atoms chemically bonded in a definite proportion e.g. NaCl, CO2.
4. A compound may consist of molecules or ions. E.g. NH3, K+Br-.
5. A molecule is made up of 2 or more atoms of the same or different element/s bonded covalently to form a discrete unit.e.g. O3 , H2O.
6. An ion is an atom/group of atoms either gained electron/s (anion) or lost electron/s(kation). E.g. S2- , Cu+, SO4
2- .
Matter is made up of very tiny particles called atoms.
. Atom is spherical and consists of a nucleus surrounded with a cloud of moving –ve electrons (e)

Properties of subatomic particles
PROTON NUMBER AND NUCLEON NUMBER
Total number of protons is called proton number, Z ( or atomic number)
Total number of protons and neutrons is called nucleon number, A (or mass number)
Z determine the identity of an element.
Symbol notation of atom :

Z = atomic/ p no. = p
No. of e- = Z– (charge of atom/ion)
Z

Total charge on the ion = 1+
nucleon no., A = No. of (p+ n) = 23
proton no., Z = no. of p = 11
no. of n in nucleus of = A - Z = 23 – 11= 12
No. of e- = Z – charge = 11- (+1) = 10

RELATIVE MASS
<>Isotope Carbon-12 as a reference or standard for comparing the masses of other atoms.
Definition: Relative atomic mass => mass of 1atom of an element(a.m.u.)
1/12mass of 1 atom of C-12 isotope(a.m.u.)
e.g. Relative atomic mass of Na
= mass of 1atom Na
1/12 mass of 1 atom 12C isotope
= 23 a.m.u./1.0 a.m.u = 23
Relative molecular mass
Definition: Sum of all the relative atomic masses of all atoms present in a molecule.

MASS SPECTROMETRY
Who invented the mass spectrometer?
Vaporisation chamber
Acceleration chamber (Electric field)
Magnetic field
Ionization chamber
Ion detectorvacuum
Figure : Diagramatic representation of Mass Spectrometer
AB
Vaporisation Chamber
Sample of the element is vaporised into gaseous atom
Ionisation Chamber
A gaseous sample (atom or molecule) is bombarded by a stream of high-energy electrons that are emitted from a hot filament. Collisions between the electrons and the gaseous atom (or molecule) produce positive ions by dislodging an electron from each atom or molecule
M + e M+ + e + e
Acceleration Chamber (Electric field)
The positive ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the two oppositely charged plates. The electric field is produced by a high voltage between the two plates. The emerging ions are of high and constant velocity
Magnetic field
The positive ions are separated and deflected into a circular path by a magnet according to its mass/charge (m/e) ratio.
Positive ions with small m/e ratio are deflected most and appear near A. Ions with large m/e ratio are deflected least and appear near B
Ion detector
The numbers of ions and types of isotopes are recorded as a mass spectrum.
In practice, the ion detector is kept in a fixed position. The magnetic field is varied so that the positive ions of different masses arrive at the detector at different times
Mass spectrum :
The horizontal axis = m/e ratio or nucleon number or isotopic mass or relative atomic mass of the ions entering the detector.
The vertical axis= the abundance or detector current or relative abundance or ion intensity or percentage abundance of the ions.
The height is proportional to the amount of each isotope present.
Relative abundance

The mass spectrum of magnesium shows that naturally occurring magnesium consists of three isotopes: 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg.
The height of each line is proportional to the abundance of each isotope. In this example, 24Mg is the most abundance of the three isotopes
Ar Mg
= (24 a.m.u. x 63) + (25 a.m.u. x 8.1) + (26 a.m.u x 9.1)
(63 + 8.1 + 9.1)
= 24.33
Ar =

mQ
where Q = the abundance of an isotope of the element
= the percentage of the isotope found in the naturally occurring element
m = the relative isotopic mass of the element
General formula for Ar
. The relative atomic mass of an element of 2 isotopes,= ( % abundance X1 x isotopic mass X1 +
% abundance X2 x isotopic mass X2 ) ÷sum of % abundance X1,X2
Mass spectrum of an atom shows the presence of isotopes
by representative lines with lengths proportional to
the abundance of their ions
Eg.: Boron comprises of 2 isotopes, i.e. 14.6 % 10B
dan 85.4 % 11B with their isotopic masses of 10.01294
dan 11.00931 respectively. Calculate the relative atomic
mass of B.
Ans:RAM Boron = % 10B x Ar + % 11B x Ar
100 % = 14.6 x 10.01294 + 85.4 x 11.00931 %
100%= 10.8
1. The atomic masses of 6Li and 7Li are 6.0151 amu and 7.0160 amu respectively. What is the relative abundance of each isotope if the relative atomic mass of lithium is 6.941 amu?
Ans:(92.95%, 7.05 %)

The amount of substance which contains equal amount of elementary entities ( atoms, molecules, ions etc.) as there are 12C atoms in 12.00g of 12C.
•In 12.00 g of 12C, there are 6.022045 x 1023 atoms which is 1 mole of the substance carbon-12

Calculate its empirical formula. What is its molecular formula given that its molar mass is about 162 g mol1.
2) Determine the formula of a mineral with the following mass composition: Na=12.1%, Al=14.2%, Si=22.1%, O=42.1%, H2O=9.48%.
Calculating the empirical formula from elemental analysis data(Combustion data)
E.g 1.00 g sample of compound A was burnt in excess oxygen producing 2.52 g of CO2 and 0.443 g of H2O.
Determine the empirical formula of the compound
1 mol CO2 contains 1 mol C & 1 mol H2O 2 mol

22C CO g 44.0
C g 12.0 x CO g 2.52 m = 0.688
OH g 18.0
H g 2 x OH g 0.443

m
the mass of oxygen = msample – (mC + mH)
= 1.00 g – (0.688 g + 0.0492 g) = 0.263 g O
