5. Q: What is the nature of electrical forces and electrical charges?
We are going to look at the interaction between:
Top tape (T)
Bottom tape (B)
Paper (P)
Aluminum foil (F)

Observations need to be written, drawn, and recorded

A compound is found to 40.1% sulfur and 59.9% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 80.1 amu.

Notice that the interactions fall into one of two categories:
a) three attractions (one strong) and one repulsion
b) two attractions and two no effects

There is something unique about the repulsions
If it is repelled from either T or B, it will be attracted to all the three other strips
If it is attracted by both, it will not interact with the paper or foil.
What’s up with that?

Scientists have assigned a negative charge to PVC rubbed w/wool
Based on your observations from using the rod, label the T and B tapes as either a (+) or (–).
Make a duplicate table and enter the following:
assign a positive (+) charge to objects which repel the top tape
assign a negative (–) charge to objects which repel the bottom tape
assign a neutral (0) charge to objects that do not repel either.

11. Q: What is the nature of electrical forces and electrical charges?
How can you be sure something has a net charge?
What happened to the force of the interaction as the objects approached each other?
Does that fit with our particle model and Eph?

12. Model Summary Update What’s new?
There is something smaller than the atom
Evidence of internal structure for our atoms
Particle with charge
Assume atoms contain both positive and negative charges that normally cancel each other.
HDYK that is the case?
We will use the Thomson model of the atom
a massive positive core
a small number of mobile, negatively charged particles we call “electrons”. (He called them corpuscles)
AKA: Plum pudding Model
Evidence led J. J. Thomson to propose that in solids
only the negative charges are free to move
these charges are much smaller than an atom and contribute a negligible fraction of its mass

13. Plum Pudding Model
A visual representation of this model is the “plum pudding” model–
Positive cores are represented by bowls of pudding, which attract the negative electrons represented by plums.
The attraction of the plums to some bowls is stronger than to others
Some bowls are “stickier”
The plums can move from one bowl to another because of differences in attraction (stickiness).
Since plums also repel one another, you cannot put too many plums in the same bowl.
Can this model explain the tapes?

14. Applying the PPM
The T tape becomes positively charged because electrons are transferred to the B tape.
The overall number of electrons does not change, just their distribution on the tapes.
Neutral atoms have the same amount of (+) and (–) charge.
Which has a stronger attraction for the electrons, e-?
Sticky side?
Dull side?
Notice that we once again used macroscopic behavior to explain microscopic behavior

15. What about the foil and paper?
How were they similar?
How were they different?
How can we explain the difference?
Charge must already be there.

paper
What is the effect of distance on the electrical force?
What if a negative charge is brought nearby?

16. Some ideas

2) John Travoltage

18. Warm Up 2/1
In the sticky tape lab, which side has a stronger attraction for the electrons—sticky or dull?
Explain how you know (What evidence do you have?)

19. JJ Thomson’s BIG Idea
He observed a cathode ray tube and noticed that he could change the path of the “corpuscles” with a magnet
The direction of the deflection indicated a negative charge for the corpuscles
What were Thomson’s corpuscles?
electrons
cathode
anode
glass tube

20. How do we apply this model to compounds?
We can propose that electrical forces are involved in holding together the particles that make up pure substances.
Perhaps the mobile negative charge is freer to move in some substances than in others.

Conductors and insulators

21. Overview of the Modern Periodic Table
Two distinct regions of note:
Metals (M)
Good conductor of electricity
2/3 of table are metals
Includes transition elements (Groups 3-12)
Non-metals (NM)
Poor conductors of electricity
All of groups 17 & 18; some of groups 14-16
Exhibit a wide range of properties

22. Warm Up 2/2-3
Which of the above diagrams shows atoms of a metal? HDYK?
Which of the above diagrams shows atoms of a non-metal? HDYK?
