Atomic Structure 3.1

Atomic History In 400 BC a Greek Philosopher, Democritus suggested the universe was made of invisible units-- atoms.

1800’s John Dalton’s Theory (Still Accepted) 1.Every element is made of tiny, unique particles called atoms 2.Atoms of different elements can join to form molecules. 1.Every element is made of tiny, unique particles called atoms 2.Atoms of different elements can join to form molecules.

John Dalton’s Theory- Disproved 3.Atoms are the smallest particles and cannot be subdivided. 4.Atoms of the same element are exactly alike in mass 3.Atoms are the smallest particles and cannot be subdivided. 4.Atoms of the same element are exactly alike in mass

JJ Thomson Credited with discovering negative charged particles called electrons.

Further Research Finding Later on, the discovery of protons and neutrons were discovered in the nucleus. And it was later concluded that all atoms are neutral in charge. The number of protons and electrons in any atom are always equal. Later on, the discovery of protons and neutrons were discovered in the nucleus.

Niels Bohr Suggested that electrons move around atoms in set paths around the nucleus. He said each path is an energy level Suggested that electrons move around atoms in set paths around the nucleus. He said each path is an energy level

Today’s Theory It is impossible to pinpoint an electron’s exact position due to its tremendous speed. Electrons do not move around in definite paths. It is impossible to pinpoint an electron’s exact position due to its tremendous speed. Electrons do not move around in definite paths.

Today’s Theory Electrons are found in orbitals within energy levels. (s, p, d, and f ) a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons. Electrons are found in orbitals within energy levels. (s, p, d, and f ) a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons.

Today’s Theory Electrons are now viewed as waves vibrating on a string rather than simple particles. Wave-Particle Duality Theory Electrons are now viewed as waves vibrating on a string rather than simple particles. Wave-Particle Duality Theory
23
What are atoms? The smallest part of an element that still has the element’s properties.

Parts of an atom Nucleus Proton Neutron Electron Nucleus Proton Neutron Electron Subatomic particles
25
Nucleus center of an atom positively charged makes up 99.9% of the atom’s mass contains protons and neutrons center of an atom positively charged makes up 99.9% of the atom’s mass contains protons and neutrons
27
Protons Charge (+) Mass is equal to 1 atomic mass unit (amu) Found in the nucleus Identifies the element/atom
28
Neutrons Charge (0) – neutral Mass is equal to 1amu Found in the nucleus Helps determine mass

Energy levels 1 st level holds up to 2 e - 2 nd level holds up to 8 e - 3 rd level holds up to 8 or 18 e - 4 th level holds up to 8, 18, or 32 e - Outer Level holds up to 8 e- (called valence electrons) 1 st level holds up to 2 e - 2 nd level holds up to 8 e - 3 rd level holds up to 8 or 18 e - 4 th level holds up to 8, 18, or 32 e - Outer Level holds up to 8 e- (called valence electrons)

A Guided Tour of the Periodic Table 3.2
34
Periodic Law Properties of elements tend to change in a regular pattern when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
35
Periodic Law Periodic Table is set up by increasing atomic number. Atomic Number is the # of protons in the atom. Periodic Table is set up by increasing atomic number. Atomic Number is the # of protons in the atom.
36
Average Atomic Mass
37
Atomic Number tells you number of protons Never Changes for an atom. Appears as a whole # on the periodic table. No two elements can have same atomic #. tells you number of protons Never Changes for an atom. Appears as a whole # on the periodic table. No two elements can have same atomic #.
38
Atomic Number # of protons Atomic Number
39
Mass Number The mass of an atom Total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of a single atom. Atoms of the same element won’t always have the same mass number The mass of an atom Total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of a single atom. Atoms of the same element won’t always have the same mass number
40
Mass Number # of protons # of neutrons Mass #
41
Isotopes Any atoms having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. So they also have different mass numbers. Any atoms having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. So they also have different mass numbers.
43
Average Atomic Mass Average mass of all known isotopes for an element Found on the periodic table as a number with a decimal Average mass of all known isotopes for an element Found on the periodic table as a number with a decimal
