With the acceptance of Dalton s Atomic Theory, it became necessary to determine the atomic weights of the various elements, i.e., not the absolute atomic weights, but the relative weights of the various atoms with reference to one of them as unit." ... 

I have been very fortunate with my new metal. I have fifty grams of the almost pure chlorplatinate, which I can easily make absolutely pure. To be sure these fifty grams were obtained from 600 hundred weights (quintals) of mineral water, whereby 2 Vs pounds of lithium chloride were obtained as a by-product. Since I have a simple method of separating it, I find it widely distributed. I shall name it cesium because of its beautiful blue spectral hne. Next Sunday I expect to find time to make the first determination of its atomic weight. 

Soon after hearing of the discovery of argon, Lecoq de Boisbaudran predicted that it might belong to a family of absolutely inert elements all of which were then unknown, and that their atomic weights would be 20.0945, 36.40 0.08, 84.01 0.20, and 132.71 0.15. He also predicted that the first two of these elements would be more abundant than the others (33, 34). 

Thallous halides do not absorb ammonia at ordinary temperature, but in liquid ammonia these salts form triannnino-thallous halides of composition [T1(NH3)3]C1, [Tl(NH3)3]Br.1 The triammino-deriva-tives formed are somewhat soluble in liquid ammonia, and the solubility increases with rise of temperature and increase in atomic weight of the halogens. No lower ammino-derivatives are known. Tliallic halides absorb ammonia gas readily. If ammonia gas is passed into an alcoholic solution of thallic chloride, or if dry ammonia gas is passed over dry thallic chloride, the gas is absorbed and a white crystalline substance is formed of composition [T1(NH3)3]C13. The crystals may be washed with alcohol containing ammonia and then with absolute alcohol, and finally dried in vacuo. On coming in contact with water the triammine is decomposed with precipitation of violet-black oxide thus ...

This fundamental equation explains that the velocity of heavier ions (iq of ions with mass m,) is lower than of lighter ions (v2 of ions with mass m2, with m, > m2). Equation (10) is used directly in time resolved measurements, for example in time-of-flight mass spectrometers (ToF-MS). The charged ions of the extracted and accelerated ion beam are separated by their mass-to-charge ratio, m/z, in the mass analyzer. Mass-separated ion beams are subsequently recorded by an ion detection system either as a function of time or simultaneously. Mass spectrometers are utilized for the determination of absolute masses of isotopes, atomic weights, relative abundance of isotopes and for quite different applications in survey, trace, ultratrace and surface analysis as discussed in Chapters 8 and 9. 

Ever since instrumentation has been sophisticated enough to determine the masses of individual atoms in an indirect fashion, it has been possible to have a list ofabsolute values of the atomic masses. The mass of an atom is incredibly small expressed in grams, these values are cumbersome to use in day-to-day work and conversation. In recent years, this difficulty has been surmounted by using a special mass unit called a dalton (d) 1 d = 1.6604 x 10-J4g. 1S unit s chosen so that the mass of the most common isotope of the carbon atom equals 12.00000 d. Thus, the absolute atomic weight of H is 1.0079 d, and the absolute... 

Cobalt, in its properties, is an excellent intermediary between iron and nickel, and, moreover, it is clearly a suitable element to constitute the first of the central vertical triads of Group VIII, namely, Co, Eh, and Ir. Hence, if the Periodic Law holds absolutely, the atomic weight of cobalt should exceed that of iron, but not that of nickel. Either, therefore, the atomic weight of cobalt is slightly too high or that of nickel is slightly too low. 

The precautions which are required to secure absolutely pure halides of phosphorus are referred to in the section on Atomic Weight (pp. 45-48). 

During the years 1803 to 1808, John Dalton put forward his atomic theory, emphasizing a quantitative characteristic of the atoms, their weights. All atoms of the same element had the same weight, but the weights of atoms of different elements were different. The determination of atomic weights, whether relative or absolute, turned out to be a harder task than the enunciation of the principle. 

Challenge Problem. Direct your Web browser to http //chemistry.brookscole.com/skoogfac/. Locate Web Works, Chapter 6, from the Chapter Resources menu. Find the link to the NIST page containing the atomic mass of silver as presented by L. J. Powell, T. J. Murphy, and J. W. Gramlich, The Absolute Isotopic Abundance Atomic Weight of a Reference Sample of Silver, NBS Journal of Research, 1982, 87, pp. 9-19. The page that you see contains 48 values for the atomic mass of silver 24 determined by one instrument and 24 determined by another.
