Atomic Structure Timeline From this part of the lecture, you will be expected to… draw the atomic models match scientists to their experiments and discoveries place the models in chronological order
Democritus (400 B.C.) Proposed that matter was composed of tiny indivisible particles Greek: atomos=small, solid, indestructible particles of different shapes and sizes Not based on experimental data
Alchemy (next 2000 years) Mixture of science and mysticism. Lab procedures were developed, but alchemists did not perform controlled experiments like true scientists.
John Dalton (1807) British Schoolteacher based his theory on others’ experimental data Billiard Ball Model atom is a uniform, solid sphere
History of Atomic Models 5 Main Points of Dalton’s Atomic Theory Elements are made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms All atoms of a given element are identical Atoms of a given element are different than those of any other element Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to give compounds Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; reactions change how atoms are grouped.
Problems with Dalton’s Atomic Theory? 1. Matter is composed, indivisible particles called atoms Atoms Can Be Divided, but only in a nuclear reaction 2. All atoms of a particular element are identical Does Not Account for Isotopes (atoms of the same element but a different mass due to a different number of neutrons)! 3. Different elements have different atoms YES! 4. Atoms combine in certain whole-number ratios YES! Called the Law of Definite Proportions 5. In a chemical reaction, atoms are merely rearranged to form new compounds; they are not created, destroyed, or changed into atoms of any other elements. Yes, except for nuclear reactions that can change atoms of one element to a different element
Henri Becquerel (1896) Discovered radioactivity spontaneous emission of radiation from the nucleus Three types: alpha () - positive beta () - negative gamma () - neutral
J. J. Thomson (1903) Cathode Ray Tube Experiments beam of negative particles Discovered Electrons negative particles within the atom Plum-pudding Model
J. J. Thomson (1903) Plum-pudding Model positive sphere (pudding) with negative electrons (plums) dispersed throughout
Ernest Rutherford (1911) Gold Foil Experiment Discovered the nucleus dense, positive charge in the center of the atom Nuclear Model
Ernest Rutherford (1911) Nuclear Model dense, positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons
Niels Bohr (1913) Bright-Line Spectrum tried to explain presence of specific colors in hydrogen’s spectrum Energy Levels electrons can only exist in specific energy states Planetary Model
Niels Bohr (1913) Planetary Model Bright-line spectrum Planetary Model electrons move in circular orbits within specific energy levels
Bohr’s Model The electron must gain energy to move to a higher level and must lose energy to move to a lower level Bohr said electrons act more like waves on a string than particles Think of walking from floor to floor of the school building!
Erwin Schrödinger (1926) Quantum mechanics electrons can only exist in specified energy states Electron cloud model orbital: region around the nucleus where e- are likely to be found
Electron Cloud Model (orbital) Erwin Schrödinger (1926) Electron Cloud Model (orbital) dots represent probability of finding an e- not actual electrons
James Chadwick (1932) Discovered neutrons neutral particles in the nucleus of an atom Joliot-Curie Experiments based his theory on their experimental evidence

Atomic Structure An atom is the smallest unit of matter made of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons
Subatomic Particles in a neutral atom Most of the atom’s mass. NUCLEUS ELECTRONS in a neutral atom PROTONS NEUTRONS NEGATIVE CHARGE POSITIVE CHARGE NEUTRAL CHARGE Most of the atom’s mass. Atomic Number equals the # of...
Electrons Bohr compared electrons to planets, saying electrons orbited the nucleus in specified and circular paths However, an electrons exact location cannot be determined
Orbitals Electrons exist in energy levels called orbitals The number of filled orbitals depends on how many electrons an atom has Electrons occupy the orbitals that have the lowest energy (closest to the nucleus) Four different kinds: s, p, d, f
Orbital Region where there is 90% probability of finding an electron. Can’t pinpoint the location of an electron. Density of dots represents degree of probability.
Orbtials s orbitals are spherical and can hold 2 electrons p orbtials are dumbell shaped and can hold six electrons
Orbital Orbitals have different shapes.
Valence Electrons Electrons located in the outer most orbital are called valence electrons These electrons determine the atom’s chemical properties and its abilities to form chemical bonds Atoms with the same # of valence electrons have similar properties
Bohr Model Diagrams Simplified energy levels using Bohr’s idea of circular orbits. Can replace with: 3p 4n Lithium Atomic #: 3 Mass: 7 # of p: 3 # of e: 3 # of n: 4 e- e- p n Maximum e- Level 1 2e- Level 2 8e- Level 3 18e- Level 4 32e- e-
Bohr Model Activity Choose a number between 1 & 18. Find your element by the atomic number you picked. Draw a Bohr Model diagram for your element on your marker board. Round off the mass listed on the table and subtract the atomic # to find the # of neutrons. Abbreviate the # of ‘p’ and ‘n’ in the nucleus. Have a partner check your drawing. Repeat with a new element.
