1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table

2 Atomic Models Models and ideas regarding atoms has changed many times over the years and continues to change Models have to be made because atoms cannot be seen

3 Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Proposed in the 1800’s All elements are composed of indivisible atoms Atoms of the same element are identical Atoms combine in whole number ratios Atoms are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical change

4 Electrons - charged subatomic particles
Discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897 Discovered in a Cathode Ray

5 Cathode Ray Gas-filled tube with + electrode (anode) and – electrode (cathode) The cathode ray is a stream of negatively charged particles

6 Protons Discovered in 1886 Positively charged subatomic particles
Mass is equal to 1 atomic mass unit (AMU)

7 Neutrons Discovered in 1932 Subatomic particles with no charge
Mass nearly equal to proton (1 AMU)

8 Atomic Nucleus Discovered in 1911 by Earnest Rutherford
Alpha particles were directed towards a very thin sheet of gold Alpha particles should have passed easily through the gold but where deflected instead

10 Atomic Number =‘s the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Protons (+) = Electrons (-)

11 Mass Number The total number of protons and neutrons
The mass number is generally NOT a whole number. It is an average of all the isotopes of that element

12 Isotopes Atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons but they each have different numbers of neutrons. They are chemically alike but have different mass numbers.

13 Lithium Isotopes

14 Atomic Mass An atomic mass unit (AMU) is defined as 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus 1 proton = 1 AMU 1 neutron = 1 AMU Electron = 0 for our purposes

15 Periodic Table First developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in the 1800’s.
Elements are listed according to atomic mass and by properties. Not all the elements had been discovered, but they could theorize on the properties of the element
