Atomic Mass
• The unit of
measurement for an
atom is an AMU. It
stands for atomic
mass unit.
• One AMU is equal to
the mass of one
proton.
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)
• There are
6 X 1023 or
600,000,000,000,000,000
,000,000 amus in one
gram.
• (Remember that electrons
are 2000 times smaller
than one amu).

Elements known at this time
• Both Mendeleev and Meyer arranged
the elements in order of increasing
atomic mass.
• Both left vacant spaces where unknown
elements should fit.

Henry Moseley
His research was halted when the British
government sent him to serve as a foot
soldier in WWI. He was killed in the
fighting in Gallipoli by a sniper’s bullet, at
the age of 28. Because of this loss, the
British government later restricted its
scientists to noncombatant duties during
WWII.

current location below the Lanthanide
series. These became known
as the Actinide series.
