1
The Structure of the Atom and the Periodic Table Chapters 4 and 5
2
Atomic Theories- Ancient Ancient times identify 4 elements: Fire Water Wind Earth They thought that these elements could be converted into each other through a cycle end
3
Atomic Theories- Ancient Democritus 1 st to propose that there is a smallest particle Matter was made up of atomos Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided Aristotle Opposed Democritus’ view Did not agree with the concept of empty space Destroyed Democritus’ theory end
4
Atomic Theories- Modern John Dalton English Quaker Schoolteacher Father of modern atomic theory Spent a great deal of time studying the behavior of gases He noticed that in every sample the ratio of the elements was always the same end
5
Atomic Theories- Modern Dalton's Atomic Theory: All elements are made of atoms Atoms of the same element have the same mass This was later proved wrong- Isotopes Atoms of different elements have different masses Atoms combine in whole number ratios You can't have half of an atom in a compound Dalton's Atoms Dalton went back to Democritus' view. All matter is made up of individual particles called atoms, which cannot be divided Atoms are little spheres Like marbles end
6
Atomic Theories- Modern Atom The smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of the element end
7
Atomic Theories- Modern J. J. Thomson Performed cathode ray tube experiments Discovered the electron Proved that atoms can be broken up Dalton was wrong Created the Plum Pudding Model When electricity moves through a gas it produces a glowing beam (neon signs) When a magnetic field was applied the beam went toward the positive plate end
8
Atomic Theories- Modern Thomson had to come up with a new model to explain the electrons The Plum Pudding Model Large area of positive charge Small packets of negative charge Think: Chocolate Chip Cookies end
9
Atomic Theories- Modern Ernest Rutherford Conducted the Gold Foil Experiment Shot particles at thin pieces of gold foil Expected to see particles pass straight through Some particles bounced almost straight back end
10
Atomic Theories- Modern His experiment showed that the Plum Pudding Model was wrong Rutherford came up with a new model of an atom A small, dense, positive nucleus Electrons are outside the nucleus Atoms are mostly empty space + Nucleus Electrons are somewhere in this area end
11
Structure of the Atom Protons, electrons, and neutrons are subatomic particles They make-up an atom You must be able to identify them by mass, charge, and location end
12
Structure of the Atom The Nucleus Small dense region in the center of an atom Contains all of an atom’s positive charge And almost all of its mass. Contains protons and neutrons end
13
Structure of the Atom Proton (p + ) Found inside the nucleus Charge of +1 Same mass as a neutron If you change the # of protons you get a different element end
14
Structure of the Atom Electron (e - ) Charge of -1 Found outside the nucleus Almost no mass compared to the proton If you change the # of electrons you get a ion end
15
Structure of the Atom Neutron (n 0 ) No charge Same mass as a proton Found in the nucleus with the proton If you change the # of neutrons you get different isotopes end

17
Isotopes Atoms of the same element Have different numbers of neutrons Which means different mass numbers All elements have isotopes In nature the elements occur as a mixture of isotopes end
18
Structure of the Atom Mass Number The relative mass of each atom The number of protons + the number of neutrons Different isotopes have different mass numbers Changes the # of neutrons! Mass# = (Atomic#) + (# of neutrons) end
19
Structure of the Atom Atomic Number The number of protons in the element This defines each element Equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom Atomic Number end
20
Structure of the Atom Atomic Symbols – 1 or 2 letters – The 1 st letter is always capitalized the 2 nd is always lowercase Make sure to write your letters correctly!!!!! – The element’s name is just below the symbol Atomic Symbol Element’s Name end
21
Structure of the Atom Atomic Mass – Weighted average mass for all isotopes of each element – NOT the same as the Mass Number Atomic Mass end
22
Structure of the Atom Writing Atomic Symbols – Since every element has isotopes scientists have write symbols so the know which one they are talking about – There are 3 ways to write the symbols: Carbon- 12 C- 12 Name and Mass Number Symbol and Mass Number Symbol Mass Number Atomic Number end
23

24
Atomic Theories- Modern Rutherford's model was good, but it didn't talk about the electrons Bohr Model (Solar System Model) Took Rutherford's model and put electrons into energy levels Electrons change energy levels when they either gain or lose energy Electrons cannot be between levels Electrons can move more than 1 level at a time end
25
Atomic Theories- Modern In the Bohr Model: – Protons and Neutrons form a nucleus – Electrons are placed in rings around the nucleus Each energy level can only hold a certain number of electrons Energy Level# of electrons 1212 2828 318 432 end
26
Atomic Theories- Modern Lets draw H-1 p = 1 n = 0 e = 1 Lets draw He-4 p = 2 n = 2 e = 2 Lets draw Li-6 p = 3 n = 3 e = 3 Lets draw Na-22 p = 11 n = 11 e = 11 end
27
Atomic Theories- Modern Electrons want to be in the lowest energy level possible Ground state All electrons are in the lowest possible energy levels The most stable Excited state At least 1 electron is not in the lowest possible energy level end
28
Atomic Theories- Modern Bohr's model was good, but it had problems We can never be sure of exactly where electrons are located Electron Cloud Model With some fancy math, we figured out an area around the nucleus where the electrons are going to be 95% of the time This area is known as an Orbital Each orbital can only hold 2 electrons end
29
The Periodic Table By 1860 scientists had discovered 63 elements But there was no good way to organize them Scientists just had to memorized everything about every element This changed when Mendeleev created a way to classify the elements end
30
The Periodic Table Mendeleev’s Periodic Table: Elements with similar properties were placed in the same column The mass of the elements increased along each row end
31
The Periodic Table Mendeleev left several blank spaces in his periodic table These spaces were for elements that had not been discovered yet Mendeleev predicted what properties these elements would have based on the elements around them end
32
The Periodic Table The Modern Periodic Table: Based on Mendeleev’s table Elements with similar properties are in the same column Columns are called Groups Numbered 1 to 18 (from left to right) Atomic Numbers (# of protons) increase going across the table Rows are called Periods Numbered 1 to 7 (from top to bottom) end
33
The Periodic Table This is the full Periodic Table As you can see it is REALLY long Way too long to fit on a page end
34
The Periodic Table In order to make everything fit on 1 page, we take out the Lanthanides and Actinides. They are moved to the bottom of the table end
35
The Periodic Table Metals Left of the stair-step line Francium (Fr) is the most reactive Moving away from Fr, metals become less reactive Good conductors of electricity and heat Mostly solids at room temperature High melting and boiling points Malleable and ductile end
36
The Periodic Table Nonmetals Right of the stair-step line Fluorine (F) is the most reactive nonmetal Moving away from F, nonmetals become less reactive Poor conductors of heat and electricity Mostly gases at room temperature Low melting and boiling points Not malleable and not ductile end
37
The Periodic Table Metalloids Touching the stair-step line Have properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals This depends on the temperature end
38
The Periodic Table Alkali Metals Group 1 EXTREMELY REACTIVE! Alkaline Earth Metals Group 2 end
39
The Periodic Table Transition Metals – Groups 3 to 12 – Have a wide variety of properties Lanthanide and Actinide Series – At the bottom of the table – All are radioactive end
40
The Periodic Table Halogens Group 17 Highly Reactive Noble Gases Group 18 Extremely Unreactive THEY DO NOTHING! end
41
The Periodic Table Atomic Size – Francium (Fr) is the largest atom – Helium (He) is the smallest atom – The closer to Fr, the larger the atom Valence Electrons – Electrons in the highest energy level – These give elements their chemical properties Group:12131415161718 # of 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 Valence: end
