    What's the difference between mass number and atomic weight? Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic weight is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes.

    there is complex math and complex science that can be done to determine the percentages. but if you had to do a problem with this stuff, the percentages would be given to you. you can look them up in a book or on the internet. i don't have a quick easy answer for why there are more boron-11 atoms. it's just the way it is!

    i noticed that you said in one of your other videos that atomic mass and atomic weight are the same.
    i'm not shore who to believe, but in this program that is used by my school it says that atomic mass and atomic weight are similar but different.

    • @junenandi2136

    • @rwayle
      @rwayle 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's actually both!
      10.8 u is the mass of an average boron atom in atomic mass units
      10.8 grams is the mass of 1 mole of boron atoms
      The why really does come down to it simply being how it has been defined

      @rwayle 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The atomic mass is not the number of protons + the number of neutrons, that is the mass number
      The atomic mass is the mass of a single atom
      The atomic weight is the average mass of an atom, taking into account the percentages of each isotope

    nice but how human calculated there are 20% of boron 10 present in the world and 80% of boron11 present in the world. and there are infinite universe and there are infinite numbers of planet so boron present in other planet also. MAY BE IF TAKE A BORON SAMPLE FROM EARTH THERE ARE 20 % OF B10 AND 80% OF B11.. BUT IF U COLLECT BORON FROM OTHER PLANET IN FUTURE THEN U MAY FIND DIFFER BETWEEN PERCENTAGE....

    Dear Mr. Tyler:
    I love your videos..you are awesome. However..you say one Boron-10 isotope "weighs" 10 amu...this is confusing to me. 10 amu is a Mass, not a weight.
    I think the term "atomic weight" is confusing...as I understand it, the word "weight" refers to the "weighted" average...ie: the percent of the Boron that exists as B-10 is different than B-11 and therefore the average is "weighted" toward the mass of the more common isotope. You explain this beautifully with your pie graph.
    It has nothing to do with "weight" associated with amu's...
    For example, let's say you have 4 exams in a class. The first 3 are worth 20% of your grade, and the 4th exam, let's call it the final exam, is worth 40%. This means the final exam is "weighted"; just like Boron-11 is "weighted" because it is more common than B-10.
    That is why I think average atomic mass is such a better term than atomic weight...
    Where am I going wrong?
    M. Chow

    • @tdewitt451
      @tdewitt451  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You’re worried about the word “weighs.” But that word refers to both mass and weight. To weigh means to measure mass or weight. It’s correct to say “I weigh 10 kg.” 10 kg is a mass, not a weight. But do you know anyone who says “I mass 10 kg?” or “my mass is 10 kg.” So just because I say “weigh” doesn’t mean I’m talking about a weight.

    • @tdewitt451

      What do you mean exactly?
      Boron has two natural isotopes, boron-10 and boron-11. Boron-10 makes up approx 80% of all boron atoms, boron-11 makes up approx 20% of all boron atoms. Scientists can measure these from many samples of boron from around the world, that's how we get the percentages.

    I'm not trying to be ironic, I've been a long time trying to figure out the difference. In physics there is an obvious one, it seems it doesn't matter in chemistry.
