Atomic Theory and Structure Unit 2
2
Atomic Theory Based on experimental data Elements are made of only one kind of particle. This basic particle is called an atom
3
Dalton’s Atomic Theory All matter is composed of very small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical; atoms of different elements are different. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created or destroyed. [LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MATTER] Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios (1:1, 1:2, 3:5, etc.) to form chemical compounds. [Law of Definite Proportions] In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.
4
Modern Atomic Theory Atoms of the same element may have different masses (isotopes), but will always have the same atomic #. Atoms are made of smaller particles.
5
Changing Models of the Atom
6
Dalton’s Model 1830 Major change: particle model Physical model: solid spheres, billiard balls Could not be created, divided into smaller particles, or destroyed
7
J.J. Thomson Model 1898 Major change: protons and electrons Physical model: plum pudding Negatively charged electrons were distributed throughout a uniform positive charge
8
Rutherford’s Model 1911 Major change: nucleus Physical model: solar system model Electrons orbit around the nucleus which contains proton and neutrons
9
Bohr’s Model 1931 Major change: energy levels Physical model: energy level model Protons and neutrons located within the nucleus but electrons are located on orbitals with different energy levels
10
Quantum, Wave mechanical, Schrodinger Late 1930’s Major change: uncertainty principle Physical model: cloud model Atom consist of cloud of electrons around a very small nucleus of protons and neutrons

Facts About The Atom All atoms are electrically neutral; therefore an atom must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. Any atom of a given element contains the same number of protons as any other atom of that element. (this also applies to electrons.) For a given element, two different atoms of that element may contain differing numbers of neutrons. (definition of an isotope)
16
Characteristics of Atoms Atomic number- The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, this is also the number of electrons. Mass number- The total number of particles in the nucleus of the atom. # protons + # neutrons A Z X A: mass number & z: atomic number Isotopes- Atoms with the same atomic numbers but different mass numbers. That is, with the same number of electrons and protons, but different numbers of neutrons. Nucleus- Very small and very positive. Contains most of the mass of the atom. Made up of protons and neutrons. Nuclear forces- Hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
17
Isotopes atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and therefore different atomic mass. Example: carbon-12 and carbon-14 Isotopes of Hydrogen Protium Hydrogen-1 Protons___ Electrons___ Neutrons___ DeuteriumHydrogen-2 Protons___ Electrons___ Neutrons___ Tritium Hydrogen-3 Protons___ Electrons___ Neutrons___
18
Law of Multiple Proportions A compound consists of molecules of integral numbers of atoms. In a series in which one element forms more than one compound with a second element, the atoms must combine in small integral numbers. Hence, the weights of the second element combining with a fixed weight of the first element will be in the ratio of small integral numbers.

Compound g of oxygen combining with 1g of nitrogen Ratio of weights Atomic grouping Nitrous oxide 0.571 NO Nitric oxide 1.142NO 2 Nitrogen trioxide 1.713NO 3 Nitrogen tetroxide 2.284NO 4 Nitrogen pentoxide 2.855NO 5
