Early Atomic Theory and Structure

Chapter 5—Early Theories o What is stuff made of? o What makes something move? o How do we know it’s alive? o Is there a fundamental particle that everything is made up of? o Is there a universal constant to all matter?

Chapter 5.1 Early Thoughts o Roots of atomic theory are as old as 440 B.C. with Democritus’ idea of the atom o It took years for us to expand on this idea. The new theory was to be done by an English schoolmaster John Dalton in the early 1800s.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory o His theory included 6 postulates o 1. Elements are made up of atoms o 2. Atoms of the same element are alike o 3. Atoms of different elements are different by virtue of their size and mass o 4. Chemical compounds are formed by the union of two or more atoms of different elements o 5. Atoms combine to form compounds in whole number ratios (1:2 or 2:2, etc] o 6. Atoms of two elements may combine in different ratios to form more than one compound

5.2 Dalton’s Atomic Theory (cont.) o Why is it a Theory? o Which are still true? o Which do we know More info about now?

5.3 Composition of Compounds o The Law of Definite Composition states that a compound always contains two or more elements combined in definite proportion by mass

Law of Multiple Proportions o The Law of Multiple Proportions states that atoms of two or more elements may combine in different ratios to produce more than one compound

Subatomic Particles o Through the years of the late 1800s and into the early 1900s it was determined that there are three subatomic particles o Electrons (discovered first) o Protons (reasoned to exist if elements are neutral) o Neutrons (discovered last)

Electrons o Occupies the area outside the nucleus o Negative charge, o Relative to the other subatomic particles it has negligible (so small that it can be ignored) mass.

Protons o Occupies area in the nucleus, o Positive charge o Mass roughly equal to neutrons

Neutron o Occupies Nucleus o No charge o Roughly the same mass as the proton

Atomic Number o Atomic Number = the number of protons; unique to each element and the order of the periodic table is arranged

Mass number o Mass Number = protons + neutrons (whole number) o Cannot be found on the periodic table!

CHARGE Charge = # protons - # electrons

Self Check o What is the charge of a substance with 14 protons, 15 neutrons, and 14 electrons? o

Now let’s begin the grid.

Check yourself o The nucleus is made up of what two types of subatomic particles?

ISOTOPES Same element different mass

Isotopes o Isotopes have same number of protons (so they are the same element) but different number of neutrons o Some isotopes are radioactive

ISOTOPIC NOTATION isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons A Z X A = mass number (the total number of protons + neutrons) Z = atomic number (the total number of protons) X = element symbol

READING ISOTOPIC NOTATION Sc 46 = mass number (the total number of protons (21) + neutrons (25) 21 = atomic number 21 (the total number of protons (21) Sc = element symbol In a neutral atom, the number of electrons (21) is equal to the number of protons.

Formulas you should know o Atomic number = # of protons o In an atom (uncharged): o # of protons = # of electrons o Mass # = # protons + # neutrons or o # neutrons = mass # - # protons o Charge = # protons - # electrons (for ions) o Remember the atomic # and # of protons give the element its identity and does not change

Elements composed of atoms Elements or atoms in an unbonded state have the same number of electrons as protons (They are neutral)

Ions Ions have an unequal number of electrons and protons. An atom loses or gains electrons to take on a charge (protons/neutrons are not transferred) Charge = #protons - # electrons

Ionic Charge o Charge is written in the upper RIGHT corner of the element’s symbol. o It is written with the number first and the sign second unless it is a + 1 or a -1 in which case it is just written as + or -. o Negative ions change their names to end in –ide like fluorine is fluoride

Ionic Notation X 3- This means that this element has a -3 charge.

Self Checker o If a substance has a charge of +2, this means that the number of protons is (circle one: LESS than or GREATER than) the number of electrons?

PRACTICE PROBLEMS Pt 4+ # p = _____# n = _____ #e- = _____ mass number = ________ atomic number = _______ atomic mass = ________ name of element = _______ 2. Indicate the appropriate mass number of an element with 30 protons, 30 neutrons, and 28 electrons amu platinum 196

Atomic Mass o Atomic Mass = number on the periodic table reflecting the mass all isotopes known and their relative percentages (on periodic table below element’s symbol--usually not a whole number)

Atomic Mass oThe atomic mass of an element represents the average mass of all the isotopes found in nature. No element exists with only one possible isotope. Hydrogen has the smallest number of isotopes: 1 H protium, 2 H deuterium, 3 H tritium. Its atomic mass is amu (atomic mass units). The atomic mass is calculated by adding the % of 1 H mass found in nature to the % of 2 H mass found in nature plus the % of 3 H mass. o% 1 H + % 2 H + % 3 H = average mass (atomic mass) oGenerally the formula used is: % X + % Y + % Z… = atomic mass. An instrument called the mass spectrometer is generally used to determine the percentages and individual masses of each isotope.

Atomic Mass o Silver is found to have two stable isotopes, one has an atomic mass of amu and the other weighs amu. The first isotope represents % of the mass of the element and the second represents %. What is the atomic mass of the element silver? The equation to use is %X (mass X) + % Y (mass Y) = average And remember to turn your percents into fractions before multiplying. (0.5182) amu + (0.4818) amu =? amu amu =? amu !! Now look at the periodic table to verify the answer.
