Democritus (460 BC – 370 BC) Proposed an Atomic Theory (along with his mentor Leucippus) which states that all atoms are small, hard, indivisible and indestructible particles made of a single material formed into different shapes and sizes. Aristotle did not support his atomic theory Image taken from:

Antoine Lavoisier (1743 – 1794) Known as the “Father of Modern Chemistry” Was the first person to generate a list of thirty-three elements in his textbook Devised the metric system Was married to a 13-year old Marie-Anne Pierette Paulze; she assisted him with much of his work Was a tax-collector that was consequently guillotined during the French Revolution Discovered/proposed that combustion occurs when oxygen combines with other elements Discovered/proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass (or Matter) which states, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed Image taken from:

In 1803, proposed an Atomic Theory which states: All substances are made of atoms; atoms are small particles that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed. Atoms of the same element are exactly alike, and atoms of different elements are different Atoms join with other atoms to make new substances Calculated the atomic weights of many various elements Was a teacher at a very young age Was color blind Image taken from: chemistry.about.com/.../John-Dalton.htm

J.J. Thomson (1856 – 1940) Proved that an atom can be divided into smaller parts While experimenting with cathode- ray tubes, discovered corpuscles, which were later called electrons Stated that the atom is neutral In 1897, proposed the Plum Pudding Model which states that atoms mostly consist of positively charged material with negatively charged particles (electrons) located throughout the positive material Won a Nobel Prize Image taken from:

Ernest Rutherford (1871 – 1937) In 1909, performed the Gold Foil Experiment and suggested the following characteristics of the atom: It consists of a small core, or nucleus, that contains most of the mass of the atom This nucleus is made up of particles called protons, which have a positive charge The protons are surrounded by negatively charged electrons, but most of the atom is actually empty space Did extensive work on radioactivity (alpha & beta particles, gamma rays/waves) and was referred to as the “Father of Nuclear Physics” Won a Nobel Prize Was a student of J.J. Thomson Was on the New Zealand $100 bill Image taken from:

In 1913, proposed the Bohr Model, which suggests that electrons travel around the nucleus of an atom in orbits or energy levels. Additionally, the electrons can jump from a path in one level to a path in another level (depending on their energy) Won a Nobel Prize Worked with Ernest Rutherford Image taken from: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Niels_Bohr.jpg

Erwin Schrodinger ( ) In 1926, he further explained the nature of electrons in an atom by stating that the exact location of an electron cannot be stated; therefore, it is more accurate to view the electrons in regions called electron clouds; electron clouds are places where the electrons are likely to be found Did extensive work on the Wave formula Schrodinger equation Won a Nobel Prize Image taken from: nobelprize.org/.../1933/schrodinger-bio.html

James Chadwick (1891 – 1974) Realized that the atomic mass of most elements was double the number of protons discovery of the neutron in 1932 Worked on the Manhattan Project Worked with Ernest Rutherford Won a Nobel Prize Image taken from:

Democritus & John Dalton
Progression of the Atomic Model + - The structure of an atom, according to: Democritus & John Dalton James Chadwick J.J. Thomson Neils Bohr Ernest Rutherford Erwin Schrodinger
11
Quantum Mechanical Model
In addition to knowing that there were energy levels in the atom, three scientists began to notice other things... Heisenberg – impossible to know the exact position and exact speed of an electron at the same time De Broglie – electrons have wave-like properties, as in they move in wave patterns Schroedinger – developed probability of finding each electron in a given location
12
Using the Quantum Mechanical Model
Quantum mechanics is a mathematical way of describing where electrons are located. It is based on the probability of finding an electron in the space outside the nucleus.
13
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!

NOTES: Isotopes and Ions
Warm-up ():
15
Isotopes: Isotopes - is a version of an atom with the same number of PROTONS, but different number of NEUTRONS. -If an atom is an isotope you name it using the element name followed by the mass number. * Ex: carbon – 12 and carbon -14 - Writing Isotope Symbols: Write the atomic symbol for the element To the top left of the symbol write the mass # of the isotope. Beneath that (to the bottom left of the symbol). Write the atomic number of the element.
16
Ex: Label the following
Carbon-14 is written like this: C Mass # 14 Element Symbol 6 Atomic #
17
C and C 14 12 6 6 Isotope Examples:
How many protons does Carbon-14 contain? How many protons does Carbon-12 contain? 6 How many neutrons does Carbon-14 contain? How many neutrons does Carbon-12 contain? 14-6 = 8 12-6= 6
18
Ions are charged atoms (+ or -)
* Atoms as a rule are all neutral in charge, meaning that the number of protons and electrons in the atoms are equal. Ions: Ions are charged atoms (+ or -) Formed when an atom GAINS or LOSES electrons
19
Ions Examples Lithium - 7 + Protons: 3 Neutrons: 4 Charge: 1+
Cations Positively (+) charged atoms Form by LOSING electrons Usually formed by metals Examples Lithium - 7 + Protons: 3 Neutrons: 4 Charge: 1+ Electrons: 2
20
2- Ions Protons: 16 Neutrons: 16 Charge: 2- Electrons: 18 Anions
Negatively (-) charged atoms Form by GAINING electrons Usually formed by nonmetals Examples Sulfur - 32 2- Protons: 16 Neutrons: 16 Charge: 2- Electrons: 18

Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass
Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass * Compare & contrast Mass Number and Atomic Mass:
24
Atomic Mass Calculations
Atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes. Formula Atomic Mass= Σ[(Percent Abundance) x (Mass of Isotope)] Σ = take the sum of; add them all up at the end! Sample Calculations together..
25
Atomic Mass Calculations
Formula Atomic Mass= Σ[(Percent Abundance) x (Mass of Isotope)] Σ = take the sum of; add them all up at the end! (.7553 x ) + ( x )= 35.46 amu
26
Formula Atomic Mass= Σ[(Percent Abundance) x (Mass of Isotope)] Σ = take the sum of; add them all up at the end! (.7553 x ) + ( x )= 35.46 amu Cl chlorine
27
Atomic Structure- Inside the Nucleus
Protons Positively (+) charged particles Equal to the atomic number Identity of atoms is based on # of protons in Nucleus Contribute to the mass of the atom Proton mass = 1amu amu= atomic mass unit
28
Atomic Structure- Outside the Nucleus (Electron Cloud)
Electrons Negatively (-) charged particles Responsible for the CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of the atom In a neutral atom (no charge), protons=electrons Very little mass ~0 amu
