2 Who Thought of the Atom? Ancient Greek philosophers proposed that all matter consisted of some combination of four elements: air, earth, fire, water. Democritus (~ B.C.) disagreed, proposing that all matter could be repeatedly subdivided until an indivisible particle was reached. He called this the atom (Greek: a = not; tomos = cut). In 1785, Antoine Lavoisier ( ) is credited with discovery of the law of conservation of mass: In 1794, Joseph Proust ( ) demonstrated the law of constant composition (aka law of definite proportions):).

3 Who Thought of the Atom? In 1808, John Dalton ( ) based his atomic theory of matter on the ideas of Democritus, Lavoisier and Proust. All matter consists of solid and indivisible atoms. Atoms are indestructible and retain their identity in all chemical reactions. All of the atoms of a given chemical element are identical in mass and in all other properties. Different elements have different kinds of atoms; these atoms differ in mass from element to element. Compounds consist of elements combined in small whole-number ratios. While the essence of this theory has withstood the test of time, most of the postulates have since been modified. What notes would you add to the atomic theory listed here?

4 What’s in an Atom? Atoms consist of three types of subatomic particles: Most of an atom is empty space! (5 x m 3 ) A tiny nucleus (about 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 th of the atom’s volume) contains most of the atom’s mass: protons and neutrons bound together in a region of positive charge (recall Rutherford’s gold foil experiment). Electrons travel around the nucleus, balancing the overall charge of the atom: masschargelocation electron × kg u × Couter region proton × kg u × C+1nucleus neutron × kg u0 C0nucleus Charge = #protons - #electrons

5 Defining an Element Every atom has an atomic number and a mass number: Mass number (A) = # protons + # neutrons Atomic number (Z) = # protons An element is defined its atomic number. Changing the number of protons in an atom (as in a nuclear reaction) changes the element. While atoms of the same element must have the same atomic number, they may have different mass numbers. If so, they are referred to as isotopes. Most elements have more than one naturally occurring isotope:

6 How Useful are Isotopes? Isotope ratios can be used to trace and/or date samples (in biology, geology, paleontology, archaeology, etc.) A recent forensic application 1 was developed in Sweden Atmospheric 14 C levels increased sharply during testing of nuclear bombs ( ). Since banning the tests, 14 C levels decreased. The amount of 14 C incorporated in tooth enamel can be used to determine the year in which the enamel was formed and, therefore, the year of birth (to within 1.6 years). 1 K.L. Spalding, B.A. Buchholz, L.-E. Bergman, H. Druid and J. Frisén “Age Written in Teeth by Nuclear Tests” Nature 437, (14 Sep 2005).

7 How Can We Measure Isotopes? The average atomic mass of a chlorine atom is u. How can we determine which isotopes are present in a sample? Is there a simple reaction which only one isotope undergoes? What is the main difference between isotopes of an element? How can we take advantage of that difference?

8 How Can We Measure Isotopes? The end result is a spectrum showing the proportion of atoms in the sample belonging to each isotope: This is mass spectrometry! (the “MS” in GC/MS)

9 “Average” Samples Only a few elements have just one naturally occurring isotope (e.g. 19 F, 23 Na, 31 P). Most elements occur as mixtures of several isotopes. Chemists normally treat these elements as consisting of “averaged” atoms with “averaged” masses. Atomic mass (as shown on the periodic table) is the weighted average of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element. It factors in the mass and abundance of each isotope: where

10 “Average” Samples Silicon has three naturally occurring isotopes: 92.23% 28 Si ( u) 4.67% 29 Si ( u) 3.10% 30 Si ( u). Estimate then calculate the average atomic mass of silicon.

11 “Average” Samples Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes and an average atomic mass of u. 69 Ga has an atomic mass of u, and 71 Ga has an atomic mass of u. Calculate the natural abundance of each isotope of gallium.
