C HAPTER 6 L ESSON 2: A TOMIC S TRUCTURE Mrs. Shaw
B ELLWORK D AY 1 Explain the structure of an atom. For example: An atom has a central area called a ________________where the positive ______________ and neutral _____________ are located. The electrons have a _______________ charge and are located in the ________________ _____________ which is outside the nucleus.
L EARNING G OALS FOR THIS L ESSON Students will be able to 1. Describe the structure of an atom including the charges of each subatomic particle. 2. Explain where the majority of the mass of an atom is located. 3. Differentiate between a neutral atom, and ion, and an isotope 4. Explain how you can tell what type of atom you are observing.
A TOMS Atoms: Smallest unit of matter that cannot be divided and still be the same element. Each type of element has a different number of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) Chapter 6 Lesson 2 2: The Structure of Atoms
I NSIDE THE N UCLEUS Nucleus: center of the atom where majority of mass is. Composed of protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (neutral particles).
VOCAB: ELECTRON CLOUD - It is a region surrounding the nucleus where one or more electrons are likely to be found Electrons are the negatively charged particles that reside in a cloud outside the nucleus of the atom.
DID YOU KNOW ???? If an atom were the size of a sports arena, its nucleus would be just the size of a pea. If you compacted all the atoms in a person they would fit on the head of a needle.
E LECTRON AND E LECTRON C LOUD ELECTRONS… Electrons are negatively charged particles that occupy the space in an atom outside the nucleus. An electrons negative charge offsets the positive charge of protons. In a neutral atom, there is always the same number of protons as there are electrons. THE CLOUD… Electron Cloud- a region surrounding the nucleus where one or more electrons are most likely to be found. Finding their exact location at any point in time is much more Think of a ceiling fan. As the blades spin faster it is hard to tell the exact location of a single blade. Electrons zip around the nucleus at the speed of light… Think of how hard it would be to determine their exact location?????
E LECTRON E NERGY : Electrons traveling closer to the nucleus are STRONGLY attracted to it and have LESS energy. Electrons farther away from nucleus are LESS attracted to it and have MORE energy. Let’s Think About It… Why do you think valence electrons (electrons circling farthest away from the nucleus) are more likely to be part of a chemical reaction?
T HE S IZE OF A TOMS An atom is the smallest building block of matter BUT…. An atom is made up of even smaller subatomic particles. Protons and neutrons are about the same size and weigh 1 AMU. Electrons are smaller and have only about 1/200 the mass of a proton or neutron. Sooooo….you could fit 2,000 electrons into one proton !!!! Properties of Atomic Particles… Protons are positive, electrons are not. Neutrons have no charge so they can’t be bought
D IFFERENCES IN A TOMS Atomic Number- The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of a element. ALL ATOMS OF THE SAME ELEMENT HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF PROTONS…. ALWAYS!!!!!!! Every element on the periodic table has a different atomic number thus, a different amount of protons. Each time you add an proton, you change the element.
N EUTRONS AND I SOTOPES Neutrons have no charge and help hold the nucleus together. Isotopes are atoms that have extra neutrons in the nucleus. Because neutrons have no charge adding neutrons does NOT change the charge of the atom. However, it does change the atomic mass. Isotope…The fat atom is dope!!!!!
E LECTRONS AND I ONS Remember…all atoms start out neutral with equal positive and negative charges Protons = Electrons However, atoms can gain or loose electrons during chemical bonding. Ion- an atom that has a charge because it has gained or lost an electron Losing an Electron = Positive ion Na + has 11 protons but only 10 electrons Gaining an Electron = Negative ion Cl - has 17 protons but has 18 electrons
P RACTICE Q UESTIONS 1. Where are the positively charged particles located in an atom? 2. Where is the mass of an atom located? 3. What is the difference between a neutral atom, an ion, and an isotope?
P RACTICE Q UESTIONS ANSWERS 1. Where are the positively charged particles located in an atom? Positive protons are located in the nucleus of the atom 2. Where is the mass of an atom located? The mass of an atom is made of the protons and neutrons which are both in the nucleus 3. What is the difference between a neutral atom, an ion, and an isotope? In a neutral atom the protons = electrons. In an ion the atom has lost or gained and electron. An isotope is different versions of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
