2. Defining Atoms & Electrons in Atoms

3. Democritus (460-370 BC) Originated idea of the atom

4. John Dalton (1766 - 1844) 1803 Dalton’s Atomic Theory

5. Several changes have been made to Dalton’s theory. Modern Atomic Theory Dalton said: Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties Modern theory states: Atoms of an element have a characteristic average mass which is unique to that element.

6. Modern Atomic Theory Dalton said: Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed Modern theory states: Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions!

7. J.J. Thomson (1856-1940) 1897 Discovered the electron (“plum pudding” model)

8. Mass of the Electron 1909 – Robert Millikan determines the mass of the electron. The oil drop apparatus Mass of the electron is 9.109 x 10 -31 kg

9. Conclusions from the Study of Electrons Cathode rays have identical properties regardless of the element used to produce them. All elements must contain identically charged electrons. Atoms are neutral, so there must be positive particles in the atom to balance the negative charge of the electrons. Electrons have so little mass that atoms must contain other particles that account for most of the mass

10. Rutherford (1871-1937) 1911 Discovered the nucleus (gold foil experiment)

11. Rutherford’s Findings Most of the particles passed right through A few particles were deflected VERY FEW were greatly deflected  The nucleus is small  The nucleus is dense  The nucleus is positively charged “Like howitzer shells bouncing off of tissue paper!” Conclusions:

12. Since opposite charges attract each other, why don’t the electrons fall into the nucleus?

13. Niels Bohr (1885-1962) 1913 proposed Planetary model

14. Neils Bohr I pictured electrons orbiting the nucleus much like planets orbiting the sun. But I was wrong! They’re more like bees around a hive. WRONG!!! The Bohr Model of the Atom

15. Based upon the work of several men, a new mathematical model was developed to describe the structure of the atom. 1926 The Quantum-Mechanical Model Louis de Broglie (1892-1987) Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961)

18. Atomic Number Atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element. Element Atomic ## of protons # of electrons Carbon6 Phosphorus15 Gold79 In a neutral atom: # electrons = # protons 6 15 79 6 15 79

19. The Atomic Scale Most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus (protons and neutrons) Electrons are found outside of the nucleus (the electron cloud) Most of the volume of the atom is the electron cloud.

20. ParticleChargeMass (g)Location Electron e - 9.109 x 10 -28 (1/1840 amu) Electron cloud Proton p + +1 1.673 x 10 -24 (1 amu) Nucleus Neutron n 0 1.675 x 10 -24 (1 amu) Nucleus Atomic Particles

21. Reading the Periodic Table Atomic Number 3 Li 6.941 Lithium Element Symbol Element Name Atomic Mass # p + # e - (in a neutral atom) # p + + # n 0 # n 0 = Atomic Mass - #p +

22. The Quark… Oops… wrong Quark!

23. The Atomic Scale Most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus (protons and neutrons) Electrons are found outside of the nucleus (the electron cloud) Most of the volume of the atom is empty space “q” is a particle called a “quark”

24. About Quarks… Protons and neutrons are NOT fundamental particles. Protons are made of two “up” quarks and one “down” quark. Neutrons are made of one “up” quark and two “down” quarks. Quarks are held together by “gluons”

27. Isotopes Elements occur in nature as mixtures of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons

28. Mass Number Mass # = p + + n 0 Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope.

29. Symbols of Isotopes Carbon-12 Atomic Mass C 12 6 Atomic Number 14 6 Carbon-14 Atomic Mass C Atomic Number 35 17 Atomic Number Chlorine-35 Atomic Mass Cl

Multiply the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance, expressed as a decimal, and then add the products. Carbon = 12.011 Atomic Masses
