Lecture 2: Atoms and Elements Lecture Outline Defining matter and its types Elements and symbols The periodic table The atom Atomic number and mass number Isotopes and atomic mass Electron energy levels Electron configuration Periodic trends (as in before, group activity takes center and front in the lecture)
Defining Matter and its types Matter: Matter is stuff. it is what makes up a substance. Matter makes things we see everyday such as water, wood, cooking pan, clothes, shoes, etc.
Properties of Matter Type of Properties Physical Chemical Obtained without changing identity (No color, shape, taste, or density change) Chemical Obtained by changing identity (New color, shape, taste, etc) Chemical Change Change in which new substances are formed by changing identity Physical Change Change without changing identity and no new substances formed
Elements and Symbols Robert Boyle (1627-1691: Elements are substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances Robert had no preconceived ideas about how many elements there might be … Elements are the building blocks of matter gold carbon aluminum Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Number of Elements Matter is composed of 115 different elements (88 naturally occurring) millions of compounds In comparison, English language has 26 letters millions of words and sentences Elements not evenly distributed 9 elements in the earth’s crust make up 98% of the mass Oxygen is the most abundant: 20% of air, almost 50% of earth’s crust Elements in living matter also not evenly distributed selected for biological function Oxygen is still most abundant, followed by carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur, and iron are all present in significant amounts

Dalton’s Atomic Theory Atoms Are tiny particles of matter Of an element are similar and different from other elements Of two or more different elements combine to form compounds Are rearranged to form new combinations in a chemical reaction Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
Subatomic Particles Atoms contains subatomic particles. Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons are neutral Coulomb's law: Like charges repel and unlike charges attract Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Structure of the Atom An atom consists Of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons Of electrons in a large, empty space around the nucleus Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
Atomic Mass Scale On the atomic mass scale for subatomic particles 1 atom mass unit (amu) is defined as 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom A proton has a mass of about 1 (1.007) amu A neutron has a mass of about 1(1.008) amu An electron has a very small mass, 0.000549 amu LecturePLUS Timberlake
Atomic Number and Mass Number The atomic number Is specific for each element and is the same for all atoms of an element. Is equal to the number of protons in an atom. Appears above the symbol of an element. The mass number : represents the number of particles in the nucleus and is equal to sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Number of protons + Number of neutrons 11 Na Atomic Number Symbol LecturePLUS Timberlake
Atomic Number and Protons Examples of atomic number and number of protons: Hydrogen has atomic number 1, every H atom has one proton. Carbon has atomic number 6, every C atom has six protons. Copper has atomic number 29, every Cu atom has 29 protons. Gold has atomic number 79, every Au atom has 79 protons.
Number of Electrons in Atom Atoms are neutral In each atom, number of protons is equal to that of electrons number of protons = number of electrons For instance, an aluminum atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The net charge is zero 13 protons (13+) + 13 electrons (13 -) = 0
Isotopes and Isotopic Notation Elements of same type, same number of protons, but different number of neutrons. Isotopes have identical properties, mass, and sometimes radioactivity Nuclear Symbol Example: Sodium atom

Elements and Their Atomic Mass Most elements have two or more isotopes that contribute to the atomic mass of that element.
Calculating Average of Masses To calculate an atomic mass, the contribution of each isotope is determined by multiplying the mass of each isotope by its percent abundance and adding the results Example: magnesium has three isotopes, Mg-24 (23.99 amu, 78.70%), Mg-25 (24.99 amu, 10.13%) and Mg-26 (25.98 amu, 11.17%). Calculate the atomic mass of magnesium.

Lecture 2: Atoms and Elements Electron Energy Levels Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
Electron Energy Levels Electrons are arranged in specific energy levels that Are labeled n = 1, n = 2, n = 3, and so on. Increase in energy as n increases. Have the electrons with the lowest energy in the first energy level (n=1)closest to the nucleus. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
Energy Level Changes An electron absorbs energy to “jump” to a higher energy level. When an electron falls to a lower energy level, energy is emitted. In the visible range, the emitted energy appears as a color. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake

Sublevels Sublevels Contain electrons with the same energy. Are found within each energy level. Are designated by the letters s, p, d, f. The number of sublevels is equal to the value of the principal quantum number (n). LecturePLUS Timberlake
Number of Sublevels LecturePLUS Timberlake Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
Energy of Sublevels In any energy level, The s sublevel has the lowest energy. The s sublevel is followed by the p, d, and f sublevels in order of increasing energy. Higher sublevels are possible, but only s, p, d, and f sublevels are needed to hold the electrons in the atoms known today. LecturePLUS Timberlake
Orbitals An orbital Is a three- dimensional space around a nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found. Has a shape that represents electron density (not a path the electron follows). Can hold up to 2 electrons. Contains two electrons that must spin in opposite directions. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
s Orbitals An s orbital Has a spherical shape around the nucleus. Increases in size around the nucleus as the energy level n value increases. Is a single orbital found in each s sublevel. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
p Orbitals A p orbital Has a two-lobed shape. Is one of three p orbitals that make up each p sublevel. Increases in size as the value of n increases. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings LecturePLUS Timberlake
Sublevels and Orbitals Each sublevel consists of a specific number of orbitals. An s sublevel contains one s orbital. A p sublevel contains three p orbitals. A d sublevel contains five d orbitals.
