Atomic Structure Notes

An atom is not the smallest particle of matter Atoms are the smallest type of unique matter All atoms are made up of subatomic particles which are identical in all atoms

Atomic Structure Notes It is the way in which these subatomic particles are put together which determine the properties and type of atom that is formed There are a number of different subatomic particles of which there are three that we concern ourselves with: Protons Neutrons Electrons

Atomic Structure Notes

The number of protons in an atom determines the identity and to a large extent the chemical properties of an atom The number of protons is known as the Atomic Number

Atomic Structure Notes All atoms which have the same number of protons will have very similar chemical properties and are considered the same element. There are currently discovered atoms that contain up to 118 protons.

Atomic Structure Notes Protons have a charge of +1 and a relative mass of 1 AMU. Neutrons have a charge of 0 and a relative mass of 1 AMU. Electrons have a charge of -1 and a relative mass of 0 AMU.

Atomic Structure Notes The number of neutrons can vary and will affect the mass, but not the identity, of an atom. The chemical properties may vary slightly but will be very similar. Atomic Mass= # of protons + # of neutrons Atoms of an element which have a different atomic mass are called Isotopes.

Atomic Structure Notes The average atomic masses given on the periodic table are a weighted average of the different naturally occurring isotopes of an element.

Atomic Structure Notes A weighted average can be calculated by taking the sum of each isotopic percentage multiplied by the isotopic mass: Atomic mass = (isotope 1 %) x (isotope 1 mass) + (isotope 2 %) x (isotope 2 mass) +...

Atomic Structure Notes The entire atomic mass is made up of only protons and neutrons and therefore the number of neutrons can be found by taking the mass and subtracting the # of protons.

Atomic Structure Notes An electrically neutral atom will always have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If the number of protons and electrons is not equal, then it is referred to as an ion.

Atomic Structure Notes Ions can be either negatively charged if they have more electrons than protons, or they can be positively charged if they have more protons than electrons.

Atomic Structure Notes Protons and neutrons (and therefore all of the mass) are located in the center of the atom in a region called the nucleus. Neutrons act as a type of “insulation” between the protons, preventing them from repelling each other.

Atomic Structure Notes Protons and neutrons vibrate, but are basically motionless. The nucleus is very tiny compared to the atom as a whole, taking up less than 1% of the total volume m/#electronhttp:// m/#electron

Atomic Structure Notes Electrons are located relatively far from the nucleus in “energy levels” where they move randomly at very high speeds creating “shells” These “electron clouds” make up more than 99% of the volume of an atom, but almost none of the mass.
