Unit 2: Structure of atoms and ions
2
What makes up an atom? Nucleus (protons and neutrons) and electrons
3
Protons, electrons, and neutrons
Charge Relative mass Proton Positive (+) 1 Neutron Neutral (no charge) Electron Negative (-) 1/2000
4
Neutral Atoms In neutral atoms (no charge), electrons (-) and protons (+) are equal Why? (+)2 + (-)2 = 0 (+)2 + (-)1 = +1 No charge (neutral) Positive charge
5
Protons, electrons, and neutrons
Atomic number = # of protons If atom is neutral, it is the number of electrons too. Mass number
6
Protons, electrons, and neutrons
Mass number = # protons + # neutrons Mass number
7
Warm-up Why do some atoms have charges while others are neutral?
Name one element that has a different number of protons and neutrons. What would be the charge of Zinc if it had 28 electrons? What is the relative mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons?
8
Ions Ions are charged atoms Cations = positively (+) charged atoms
Anions = negatively (-) charged atoms
9
Don’t Fall! Element Mass # of Protons # of Neutrons # of Electrons K
79.9 g/mol 35 Al+3 13 39.1 g/mol 19 20 19 Br 45 35 26.98 g/mol 14 10
10
Homework Element Mass # of Protons # of Neutrons # of Electrons N
30.97 g/mol 15 Na+1 11 O-2 17 18
11
Isotopes Same number of protons (and electrons), but different number of neutrons Isotopes are often unstable and radioactive! After first bullet: What would this affect mass number or atomic number? Same # protons
12
Summary Atom Neutral atom Same # of protons and electrons Ion
Different # of protons and electrons Isotope Different # of protons and neutrons
13
How are electrons configured around the nucleus?
14
Electron Configuration
Level State Neighborhood Sublevel Block Neighborhood House Orbital House Electrons People People
15
Levels There are 7 levels (neighborhoods)
Each level is higher in energy and less stable. 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
16
Sublevels Each level (neighborhood) can have up to 4 sublevels (blocks)
17
Orbitals and Electrons
Orbitals (houses) are where the electrons (people) are housed within a sublevel (block).
18
Mapping Electrons Electron Configuration is a way to map the location of electrons for an element. Mapping occurs from left to right, moving down the Periodic Table.
19
Electron Configuration
Electron Configuration for Oxygen 1s 2 1 2s 2 1 4 3 2 1 2p
20
Checking Electron Configuration
How many electrons does Oxygen have? Oxygen -1s22s22p4 2+2+4=8
21
Bohr Models A basic model of the atom.
Protons, neutrons, and electrons Energy levels
22
How to Draw a Bohr Model Draw the nucleus.
Write the # of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Draw the electrons evenly distributing them throughout each level. Follow rules for # of electrons for each level.
23
Rules for Energy Levels
Level 1 (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of 2e. Level 2 can hold a max of 8e. Level 3 can hold a max of 18e. Level 4 can hold a max of 32e. You must fill one level before going on to draw the next level!
24
How to Draw a Bohr Model Bohr Model for Oxygen 8 p 8 n
25
Valence Electrons The highest energy level contains the valence electrons. Valence electrons participate in bond formation. Atoms are most stable when they have 8 valence electrons.
26
Valence Electrons 6 How many valence electrons does Oxygen have? 8 p
27
Valence Electrons +1 1 +2 +3 ±4 -3 -2 -1 8 2 3 4 5 6 7
28
Lewis Dot Diagrams Lewis Dot Diagrams shows only valence electrons.
How to: Write the element symbol Determine the number of valence electrons Draw valence electrons around each side of the symbol.
29
Energy Exists in discrete units called quanta.
Energy is a result of electrons moving. Electrons like to be close to protons (nucleus)
30
Gaining Energy Further from nucleus = higher energy
31
Losing Energy Closer to nucleus = lower energy
32
Losing Energy Produces electromagnetic radiation called photons.
33
Losing Energy This loss in energy emits electromagnetic radiation called photons. Photon=a packet of energy Responsible for visible light.
34
Wavelength Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
35
Electromagnetic Spectrum
