LAW OF CONSERVATION
OF MASS
• MASS IS NEITHER CREATED
NOR DESTROYED IN
ORDINARY CHEMICAL AND
PHYSICAL CHANGE.
 LAW OF DEFINITE
PROPORTION
• THE ELEMENTS IN A GIVEN
CHEMICAL COMPOUND ARE
ALWAYS PRESENT IN THE
SAME PROPORTIONS BY
MASS.
 What is ATOMIC
MASS ?
• ATOMIC MASS
- THE MASS OF ONE ATOM OF
AN ELEMENT.
- THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
NEUTRONS AND PROTONS
PRESENT IN THE NUCLEUS OF
AN ATOM OF AN ELEMENT.
 What is ATOMIC
NUMBER ?
• ATOMIC NUMBER
- REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF
PROTONS IN THE NUCLEUS OF
EACH ATOM OF AN ELEMENT.
- IN NEUTRAL ATOM, THE
NUMBER OF PROTON IS EQUAL TO
THE NUMBER OF ELECTRON.
HOW CAN WE
LOCATE

TABLE ?

FACTS:
• 1896 – DIMITRI MENDELEEV
ARRANGED THE ELEMENTS
ACCORDING TO THEIR ATOMIC
WEIGHT.
• 1913 – HENRY JEFFREYS
MOSELEY ARRANGED THE
ELEMENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR
ATOMIC NUMBER.
 ISOTOPES
• THESE ARE ATOMS THAT HAVE
THE SAME ATOMIC NUMBER BUT
DIFFERENT ATOMIC MASSES.

 HOW TO FIND THE NUMBER OF ….
NEUTRON: ATOMIC MASS –
ATOMIC NUMBER
PROTON: = ATOMIC NUMBER
ELECTRON: = # of PROTON
(IF IT IS AN ION: PROTON –
CHARGE)
ATOMIC NUMBER: = TOTAL
NUMBER OF PROTON OR
ELECTRON
