- Dalton’s Atomic theory
John Dalton developed his theory about the
atom with five main points as follows
- Matter is made up of tiny particles called
atom
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed
iii. Atom of any one element are identical
and have the same chemical properties
and the same mass
iv.Atom of a given element are different
from those of any other element
- Atoms of one element can combine in
simple ratio with the atom of another
element to form a compound atoms or
molecules
Modification from Dalton’s Atomic theory
- Atom is made by sub atomic particle such
as electrons, protons and neutrons
- Atoms can be created or destroyed
iii. Atom of any one element can differ
example isotopes
iv.Atoms of one element can combine in
any ratio with the atom of another
element
- The mass of an atom is said to be contributed by neutrons and protons because the mass of electrons is very small such that it is neglected.

- Solution.
Given data:
Atomic masses
P=204
M=206
N =207
G = A
Abundances:
P=2%
M=24%
N=22%
G=A
R.A.M = 207
Abundance G=needed
Atomic mass A= needed
(i) Abundance G
Abundance G=100 – total abundance P, M and N
=100 – 2 + 24 +22
= 52
Abundance G = 52%
(ii) mass A.
From
R.A.M=(mass x abundance) + (mass x abundance)/100
207=(204 x 2) + (206 x 22) + (A x 52)/100
207=(9906 + 52A)/100
52A = 20700-9906
52A = 17904
A= 17904/52
Mass A = 308
- Solution.
Given data.
Mass number(A) = 49
Atomic number(Z)=24
Number of neutron= needed
A=Z + n
n= A – Z
Where by A=mass number
Z=atomic number
n=neutron number
n=49 – 24
= 25
Neutron number of atom J is 25
12: Solution.
Given data:
Atomic masses= 20, 21 and 22
Abundances= 90.5%, 0.3% and 9.2% respectively.
R.A.M =Needed
R.A.M =(mass x abundance) +(mass x abundance)/100
=((20 x 90.5) + (21 x 0.3) + (22 x 9.2))
100
R.A.M =20.2
