Discovering the Atom One day (back when very little “scientific” information existed) you are doing an experiment. Your experiment involves grinding a substance with a mortar and pestle for a very long time until it becomes a very fine powder. What conclusions could you make from this experiment?

Democritus (460 B.C.) A similar observation is what led Democritus to propose the ‘Atomos’ – tiny individual particles that made up matter and were indivisible.

However… Aristotle (384 B.C.) disagreed with Democritus and so his ideas, while fairly accurate, were ignored for many years.

Over the Next 2000 Years… Scientists discovered many elements. Additionally Alchemy thrived, particularly in the Middle East.

Ja’far Al-Sadiq (702 A.D.) Refuted Aristotle’s theory of matter…but no one listened to him either. "The universe was born out of a tiny particle, which had two opposite poles. That particle produced an atom. In this way matter came into being. Then the matter diversified. This diversification was caused by the density or rarity of the atoms."tiny particleatommatterdensity

Experiments that Got Attention… You observe a number of chemical reactions and find that in reactions between two elements, the final mass is equal to the combined mass of the reagent elements. What could you conclude about the nature of matter from these results?

John Dalton (1766) As a result of this type of work, Dalton proposed an atomic theory.

Defining Atom Dalton defined it as the extremely small particles that make up elements and cannot be divided…. How do we define it today ?

Another Experiment… At this point, atomic theory is accepted. You have a glass tube filled with a gas and connected at each end to a battery. Battery One night you are working late and you notice a spark inside the tube in the dark. To investigate this spark, you try switching the gas in the tube and switching the type of battery used, but the results are always the same- you notice sparks that are moving toward the anode. What does this work tell you about the nature of matter?

Electrons! Two main conclusions emerged- a cathode ray is a stream of charged particles and the particles (regardless of element) had a negative charge.

The Next Important Experiment You decide to shoot small particles at a piece of gold foil. What you find is that the particles enter the foil in a straight path, but as they pass through the foil their path is sometimes diverted. What does this experiment suggest about the nature of the atom?

Nucleus! The work done by Ernest Rutherford’s group disproved the plum pudding model of the atom and showed that atoms have a small but dense center.

Within the Nucleus… Rutherford (1920s) did work to show that protons (positively charged subatomic particles) exist in the nucleus. Chadwick (1932) did work to show that the nucleus also contains neutrons (neutral subatomic particles).

Example - Carbon What color are the protons, the neutrons, and the electrons?

Current Atomic Model

Atomic Number Different elements can be described in terms of their atomic number. Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons.

Mass Number Mass number is a descriptor that lets us know when we are dealing with isotopes. Mass number = # protons + # neutrons

Nuclear Reactions and Isotopes Not all atoms of the same element are identical and in nature they exist as a mixture of isotopes.

How Can we Change the Nucleus? If nuclear reactions involve a change in the nucleus, what different ways can we think of that they can occur?

Nuclear Reactions Nuclear reactions can produce many types of radiation. All nuclear reactions move atoms toward stability. We learned about: Beta – (an electron) Alpha – (2 protons, 2 neutrons) Gamma – (no mass, no charge)

Carbon dating All organisms pick up carbon in their life time- this is called carbon sequestration. Can you spot what is incorrect in the diagram below? N n C

Carbon Dating During our lives we have a set amounts of 12 C and 14 C in our bodies. 12 C is the most common for of carbon. The 14 C isotope decays by releasing beta radiation to become 14 N (nitrogen).

Carbon Dating This looks like: 14 6 C 14 7 N B (B= beta particle, electron) After we die, this radioactive decay continues slowly over time such that half of the amount of 14C that is in your body when you die will be there

Carbon Dating After we die, this radioactive decay continues slowly over time such that half of the amount of 14 C that is in your body when you die will be there 5730 years later (half life). Therefore, Carbon is good for dating things up to 50,000 years old.

How is this socially relevant? So… How is it socially relevant?

Nanotechnology Another cool quality of carbon is that it can form complicated molecules all on its lonesome! These molecules are quite stable and have implications in industry and medicine.
