The Atom Ch 3.1
2
Foundations of Atomic Theory
Law of Conservation of Mass Mass cannot be created or destroyed Law of Definite Proportions Chemical compound always has the same proportions of elements no matter the size Law of Multiple Proportions When elements combine, they do so in the ratio of small whole numbers. The mass of one element combines with a fixed mass of another element
3
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
1. Matter is composed of atoms 2. Atoms of a given element are identical in mass, size, and properties 3. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed 4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds 5. In chemical reactions atoms combine, separate or rearange
4
Modern Atomic Theory 1. All matter is composed of atoms
2. Atoms of any one element differ in properties from another element
5
The Structure of an Atom
Ch 3.2
6
Subatomic Particles Electron- Proton- Neutron-
negatively charged, surround the nucleus Proton- Positively charged, in nucleus Neutron- Neutrally charged, in nucleus
7
Thompson Used cathode rays to discover electrons
Found electrons to be negatively charged particles Plum Pudding Model Negative and positive charges spread evenly
8
Rutherford Used alpha particles to discover the nucleus
9
Composition of Atomic Nucleus
Protons Neutrons Positive Charge Equal in magnitude to the negative chare of an electron(same # of protons and electrons) Determine atoms identity Neutral Charge
10
Nuclear Forces Hold nuclear particles together Proton- Proton force
Neutron-Neutron Force Proton-Neutron Force
11
Counting Atoms Ch 3.3
12
Atomic Number The number of protons of each atom in the element Z
In order on periodic table
13
Isotopes Atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons(different mass)
14
Mass Number Total number of protons and neutrons
15
Designating Isotopes Hyphen Notation Nuclear Symbol
Mass written with a hyphen after the element name Hydrogen-3 1 Proton 1 Electron 2 Neutrons Element mass and atomic # written with the elements symbol Neutrons= Mass-atomic

17
Relative Atomic Masses
Carbon-12 atom Standard to compare units of atomic mass Atomic Mass Unit 1amu = 1/12 mass of Carbon-12 Ex:Oxygen-16 Mass 16/12 of Carbon-12 16 amu
18
Average Atomic Mass Weighted average of atomic masses of naturally occurring isotopes of an element Calculating AAM 1.Multiply atomic mass of each isotope by relative abundance 2. Add the results
19
Relating Mass to Numbers of Atoms
Mole Avogadro's Number Number of particles in a mole 6.022 x 1023 SI unit for amount of substance Amount of a substance that contains as many particles as are atoms in 12g of carbon-12
20
Relating Mass to Numbers of Atoms
Molar Mass Gram/Mole Conversion Mass of 1mole of a pure substance g/mol
