Unit 3 Atomic Structure and Periodicity
2
Dalton’s Atomic Theory 1.All matter is composed of _____________. 2. Atoms of the same element are _______________. Atoms of different elements are _______________. 3.Atoms of different elements can _______________ mix together or can _______________ combine with one another in simple whole-number ratios to form _______________. 4. Chemical change involves a ____________________ of atoms. ATOMS IDENTICAL DIFFERENT PHYSICALLY CHEMICALLY COMPOUNDS REARRANGEMENT
3
Charges and relative masses of the three main subatomic particles. PROTON NEUTRON ELECTRON charge = +1; mass = 1 amu; no charge; mass = 1 amu; charge = -1; mass = 1/1846 amu
4
IN A NEUTRAL ATOM The atomic number is the number of __________ and the number of _____________. (in a charged atom, # p = #e) The mass number is the total number of protons __________ neutrons. To find the number of neutrons, __________ the atomic number from the mass number. PROTONS ELECTRONS PLUS SUBTRACT
5
An atom is identified as platinum – 195. (a)What does the number represent? (a)Symbolize this atom using superscripts and subscripts. Mass number 195 Pt 78 Mass number = p + n Atomic number = # protons
6
ISOTOPES Isotopes of the same element identical number of protons different number of neutrons, therefore… different masses and mass numbers
7
List the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in each pair of isotopes. (1) Li-6, Li-7 Li-6: 3 p +, 3 e -, 3 n O Li-7: 3 p +, 3 e -, 4 n O (2) Ca-42, Ca-44 Ca-42: 20 p +, 20 e -, 22 n O Ca-44: 20 p +, 20 e -, 24 n O
8
AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS Each isotope exists in nature in different abundances (the abundance of Li – 6 is 7.5%; the abundance of Li – 7 is 92.5%) The average atomic mass on the periodic table = the weighted average of all the isotopes for that element
9
to calculate the average atomic mass of an element: 1.Multiply the abundance (in decimal form, ex. 92.5% =.925) by the mass of the isotope 2.repeat step #1 for each isotope 3.Add all calculations together (do not round)
10
Example…Cesium has three known isotopes: Cs – 133, Cs – 132, and Cs – 134. Their abundances in nature are 75%, 20%, and 5% respectively. What is the average atomic mass of cesium? Steps #1, #2 and #3 can be performed together: (.75)(133) + (.20)(132) + (.05)(134) 99.75 + 26.4 + 6.7 132.85 amu
11
Using the data for nitrogen listed in Table 4, p. 82, calculate the average atomic mass of nitrogen. N – 14 and N – 15 Abundances, 99.63% and.37%, respectively Avg. Atomic Mass = (.9963)(14) + (0.0037)(15) = 13.9482 +.0555 = 14.0037 amu
