3
What is an observation? What is a theory? Observation – gathering information using senses Theory – explanation of observations that has been supported by repeated experimental results
4
Models – a diagram, picture or 3-D structure to represent ideas Scientists use models to explain ideas hard to explain or imagine like the atom.
5
8000BC – Stone Age – fire was used to shape tools 4500 BC – Bronze Age – copper was heated with tin to create a new metal (strong) 1200BC – Iron Age – steel was produced by combining iron and carbon (stronger/sharper)
6
500BC – Democritus – used word “atomos” to describe smallest unit of matter -Atoms could be put together to make new matter with different properties
7
350BC – Aristotle – believed matter was made from earth, air, fire and water.
8
1600s – Alchemy – was a mixture of magic and science -created Plaster of Paris -Believed metals gold
9
1660s – Robert Boyle -Studied gases and pressure -Believed matter was made of particles -These particles could combine to make new matter
10
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier Developed a system for naming chemicals ▪ “Father of Modern Chemistry”
11
John Dalton >Matter was made of elements >Elements are pure substances of one atom >Every atom in an element are identical > Billiard Ball model
12
J.J. Thomson Created the “Raisin Bun Model” Discovered first subatomic particle - the electron Believed atoms were positive spheres with negative electrons embedded.
13
Hantaro Nagaoka – believed the center of the atom was positive and electrons (negative) orbited the center
14
Ernest Rutherford -Atoms – mainly empty space with a tiny positive center (nucleus); electrons are randomly around it Neils Bohr -believed electrons orbit around nucleus in energy levels James Chadwick -discovered the nucleus contained protons (+) and neutrons (no charge)
16
*The Atom * Is the smallest unit of matter and is made of 3 subatomic particles: ▪ Electrons (-) orbit around the outside of the nucleus ▪ Protons (+) part of the nucleus ▪ Neutrons (o) part of the nucleus Each element is made of an atom with a specific number of protons, neutrons and electrons Is neutral – has same # of electrons as protons
17
WHY do we learn about the history of chemistry? What is the purpose of re-learning history? What does history tell us about the nature of science?
18
Is the arrangement of elements according to patterns in behavior Was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1880’s His idea was based on patterns in melting points, density and color
20
Arranged in the following patterns: 1) Metals/Non-metals -metals are left of staircase = * malleable, ductile and conductive -non-metals are right of staircase = * brittle and non-conductive -metalloids – are on staircase; have properties of both metals and non-metals
22
2) Periods – horizontal rows ># of protons increases as you go left to right >Left side are metals; right side are non-metals >The reactivity of metals decreases as you go right
23
3) Groups / Families – vertical columns; similar properties within a group Alkali Metals – most reactive metals; react with air and water Alkali Earth Metals – less reactive metals Halogens – most reactive non-metals; Noble gases- Most stable and unreactive elements
24
ALKALIALKALI EARTH NOBLE GASES HALOGENS Increase in size, # of atomic particles Increase in size, reactivity
25
Atomic number – the number of protons Since atoms are neutral, is also # of electrons Atomic mass – the number of protons + neutrons To find # of neutrons: Atomic mass – atomic # = neutrons
26
Ex. What is the symbol for aluminum? Iron? What elements are in each of the following groups: A) Alkali earth B) Alkali C) Halogens D) Noble gases
27
What is the atomic number of sodium? Atomic mass? Number of protons, neutrons and electrons? Is sulphur a metal or non-metal? How many protons, neutrons and electrons does nitrogen have?
