Elements are made of atoms = the smallest particle that has all the characteristics of the element

How Small is an Atom? A copper penny contains 2.4 x 1022 atoms
Earth’s population is approx. 7 x 109 A scanning tunneling microscope makes it possible to see individual atoms TED Ted video 5:27

Subatomic Particles Mass of atom is generally protons + neutrons, majority of mass is in nucleus Mass of proton = 1 Mass of neutron = 1 Mass of electron = 1/2000 (mass of H proton = 1 = is standard)

Atoms are neutral… Why?
9
Distinguishing Between Atoms
10
Atomic Number (Z) Found on the periodic table
Is equal to the number of protons Each element has its own atomic # # protons = # electrons
11
Average Atomic Mass Also found on the periodic table
Is the average mass of all of the atoms of that element Mass number = (A) actual mass of one atom Mass number = protons + neutrons
12
When written in this format… 12 is the mass #
Carbon-12? When written in this format… 12 is the mass #

14
Isotopes Atoms of the same element that have different masses
Have different masses because they have different numbers of neutrons # protons always the same
15
Example Carbon isotopes Might also be written C-12, C-13, C-14 Or
16
Nuclear Formulas Used to write isotopes…
17
Isotopes How are isotopes similar? How do they differ?
Isotopes are chemically alike b/c they have identical numbers of protons & electrons
18
Average Atomic Mass How is it calculated?
Based on the relative abundance of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element Each isotope has a fixed mass and a natural % abundance
19
Question With the following information, calculate the average atomic mass of chlorine: 76% of chlorine isotopes found naturally have a mass of 35 24% of chlorine isotopes found naturally have a mass of 37

Atomic Theories Democritus John Dalton JJ Thomson Ernest Rutherford
Niels Bohr Schrodinger
25
“Atom” & Democritus 400 BC Called nature’s basic particle an atom
Atom (Greek) means uncuttable or indivisible No experimental evidence
26
Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1808)
All matter is composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms Atoms of the same element are identical Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can chemically combine with one another in simple whole number ratios to form compounds Chemical reactions occur when atoms (in compounds) are separated, joined, or rearranged
27
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Much of Dalton’s theory is accepted …except ? Except that atoms are indivisible AND that all atoms of an element are identical
28
Thomson & Plum Pudding Model
1897 Discovered the electron His model proposed that negatively charged particles were randomly distributed within a pudding of positively charged particles
29
Rutherford & The Gold Foil
1909 Discovered the atom’s nucleus He bombarded a thin, gold foil with fast moving alpha particles (p 72-73)
31
Rutherford & The Gold Foil
A small amount of particles were deflected by the tiny nucleus; most of the particles passed on through He concluded the volume of the atom was mostly empty space
32
Bohr’s Atomic Model 1915 Electrons organized in energy levels or shells around a nucleus of protons and neutrons A “planetary” model—not entirely correct
33
The Electron Cloud & Schrodinger
Is a probability model Describes a cloud like region where the electron is likely to be Based on mathematical equation
35

36
A Closer Look…the Bohr Model
Video
37
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
Scientists found that when an electric current is passed through a glass tube that contains hydrogen gas, the tube emits light When this light is passed through a prism, four narrow bands of bright light are observed against a black background This is hydrogen’s line emission spectrum Bands are at specific wavelengths, which are unique to each element
38
Niels Bohr Niels Bohr proposed a model for the hydrogen atom that explained the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model was based on the following assumptions:
39
Bohr’s Model of the Hydrogen Atom
Electrons are arranged in concentric circular paths or orbits around the nucleus Electrons in a particular path have a fixed energy The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has. An electron can either gain or lose energy inside this orbit, electrons can move up or down to another orbit
40
Continued… A quantum of energy = is the amount of energy required to move an electron from its present energy level to the next higher one Light is absorbed when an electron jumps to a higher energy orbit and emitted when an electron falls into a lower energy orbit
41
Continued… The energy of the light emitted or absorbed is exactly equal to the difference between the energies of the orbits The energy given off is electromagnetic radiation Is given off as photons (particle of light with no mass)
42
Continued… Lowest energy state of atom = ground state
Higher energy state of atom = excited state Neon signs—excited neon atoms emit light when falling back to the ground state

45
Modern Atomic Theory
46
Electron Cloud Model AKA quantum mechanical model
Clouds of probability = where electrons are most likely to be Electrons are located in orbitals (not orbits)
47
Electron Cloud Model 4 types of orbitals: s, p, d, f
Each orbital can only hold 2 electrons

Quizzes Dropped one question 2nd block 84 3rd block 86
52
What are ions? Why would ions form?
Atoms with a charge When they gain, lose, or share electrons But…why would they do this?
53
What is the Octet Rule? Says that atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons so as to have eight electrons in their outer electron shell… More specifically, the number of electrons needed to fill the s and p sublevels of that energy level
