SC1.d Construct an explanation that relates the relative abundance of isotopes of a particular element to the atomic mass of the element.
Learning Targets
I can define the atomic number and mass number and explain what it communicates about an element or isotope. (Knowledge)
I can explain what an isotope is. (Knowledge)
I can explain the average atomic mass. (Knowledge)
I can compare and contrast atomic number, mass number, and average atomic mass according to their placement on the periodic table (or lack thereof), definitions, and use. (Reasoning)
I can relate the average atomic mass of an element to the relative abundance of isotopes of that element. (Reasoning)
I can construct an explanation that relates the relative abundance of isotopes of a particular element to the atomic mass of the element. (Reasoning)
Can you solve the Warm-up? The Warm-up will let you know if you have to skills needed to do today's lesson. If you need help, then please join my small group session and/or during office hours.
