Section 4.1Atoms

• OBJECTIVES
• Summarize Daltons atomic theory.

3
Section 4.1Atoms

• OBJECTIVES
• Describe the size of an atom.

4
History of the atom

• Not the history of atom, but the idea of the
  atom.
• Original idea Ancient Greece (400 B.C.)
• Democritus and Leucippus- Greek philosophers.

5
History of Atom

• Smallest possible piece?
• Atomos - not to be cut

• Looked at beach
• Made of sand
• Cut sand - smaller sand

6
Another Greek

• Aristotle - Famous philosopher
• All substances are made of 4 elements
• Fire - Hot
• Air - light
• Earth - cool, heavy
• Water - wet
• Blend these in different proportions to get all
  substances

7
Who Was Right?

• Greek society was slave based.
• Beneath famous to work with hands.
• Did not experiment.
• Greeks settled disagreements by argument.
• Aristotle was more famous.
• He won.
• His ideas carried through middle ages.
• Alchemists change lead to gold.

8
Whos Next?

• Late 1700s - John Dalton- England.
• Teacher- summarized results of his experiments
  and those of others.
• Daltons Atomic Theory
• Combined ideas of elements with that of atoms.

9
Daltons Atomic Theory

• All matter is made of tiny indivisible particles
  called atoms.
• Atoms of the same element are identical, those of
  different atoms are different.
• Atoms of different elements combine in whole
  number ratios to form compounds.
• Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of
  atoms. No new atoms are created or destroyed.

10
Just How Small Is an Atom?

• Think of cutting a piece of lead into smaller and
  smaller pieces
• How far can it be cut?
• An atom is the smallest particle of an element
  that retains the properties of that element
• Atoms-very small Fig. 5.2, p. 108
• still observable with proper instruments Fig.
  5.3, page 108

Section 4.2Structure of the Nuclear Atom

• OBJECTIVES
• Distinguish among protons, electrons, and
  neutrons in terms of relative mass and charge.

12
Section 4.2Structure of the Nuclear Atom

• OBJECTIVES
• Describe the structure of an atom, including the
  location of the protons, electrons, and neutrons
  with respect to the nucleus.

13
Parts of Atoms

• J. J. Thomson - English physicist. 1897
• Made a piece of equipment called a cathode ray
  tube.
• It is a vacuum tube - all the air has been pumped
  out.

Other particles

• Proton - positively charged pieces 1840 times
  heavier than the electron by E. Goldstein
• Neutron - no charge but the same mass as a proton
  by J. Chadwick
• Where are the pieces?

30
Rutherfords experiment

• Ernest Rutherford -English physicist. (1910)
• Believed in the plum pudding model of the atom
  (discussed in Chapter 13).
• Wanted to see how big they are.
• Used radioactivity.
• Alpha particles - positively charged pieces-
  helium atoms minus electrons
• Shot them at gold foil which can be made a few
  atoms thick.

31
Rutherfords experiment

• When an alpha particle hits a fluorescent screen,
  it glows.
• Heres what it looked like (page 111)

33
He Expected

• The alpha particles to pass through without
  changing direction very much.
• Because?
• the positive charges were thought to be spread
  out evenly. Alone they were not enough to stop
  the alpha particles.

34
What he expected
35
Because
36
He thought the mass was evenly distributed in the
atom
37
Since he thought the mass was evenly distributed
in the atom
38
What he got
39
How he explained it

• Atom is mostly empty.
• Small dense, positive piece at center.
• Alpha particles are deflected by it if
  they get close enough.

40

41
Density and the Atom

• Since most of the particles went through, it was
  mostly empty space.
• Because the pieces turned so much, the positive
  pieces were heavy.
• Small volume, big mass, big density.
• This small dense positive area is the nucleus.

Section 4.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• OBJECTIVES
• Explain how the atomic number identifies an
  element.

44
Section 4.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• OBJECTIVES
• Use the atomic number and mass number of an
  element to find the numbers of protons,
  electrons, and neutrons.

45
Section 4.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• OBJECTIVES
• Explain how isotopes differ, and why the atomic
  masses of elements are not whole numbers.

46
Section 4.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• OBJECTIVES
• Calculate the average atomic mass of an element
  from isotope data.

47
Counting the Pieces

• Atomic Number number of protons in the nucleus
• of protons determines kind of atom (since all
  protons are alike!)
• the same as the number of electrons in the
  neutral atom.
• Mass Number the number of protons neutrons.
• These account for most of mass

48
Symbols

• Contain the symbol of the element, the mass
  number and the atomic number.

55
Isotopes

• Dalton was wrong.
• Atoms of the same element can have different
  numbers of neutrons.
• different mass numbers.
• called isotopes.

56
Naming Isotopes

• We can also put the mass number after the name of
  the element.
• carbon- 12
• carbon -14
• uranium-235

57
Atomic Mass

• How heavy is an atom of oxygen?
• There are different kinds of oxygen atoms.
• More concerned with average atomic mass.
• Based on abundance of each element in nature.
• Dont use grams because the numbers would be too
  small.

58
Measuring Atomic Mass

• Unit is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
• One twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
• Each isotope has its own atomic mass, thus we
  determine the average from percent abundance.

59
Calculating averages

• Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by its
  abundance (expressed as a decimal), then add the
  results.
• Sample 5-5, p.120

60
Atomic Mass

• Calculate the atomic mass of copper if copper has
  two isotopes. 69.1 has a mass of 62.93 amu and
  the rest has a mass of 64.93 amu.

61
Atomic Mass

• Magnesium has three isotopes. 78.99 magnesium 24
  with a mass of 23.9850 amu, 10.00 magnesium 25
  with a mass of 24.9858 amu, and the rest
  magnesium 25 with a mass of 25.9826 amu. What is
  the atomic mass of magnesium?
• If not told otherwise, the mass of the isotope is
  the mass number in amu

62
Atomic Mass

• Is not a whole number because it is an average.
• are the decimal numbers on the periodic table.

63
Section 5.4The Periodic Table Organizing the
Elements

• OBJECTIVES
• Describe the origin of the periodic table.

64
Section 5.4The Periodic Table Organizing the
Elements

• OBJECTIVES
• Identify the position of groups, periods, and the
  transition metals in the periodic table.

65
Development of the Periodic Table

• mid-1800s, about 70 elements
• Dmitri Mendeleev Russian chemist
• Arranged elements in order of increasing atomic
  mass
• Thus, the first Periodic Table

66
Mendeleev

• Left blanks for undiscovered elements
• When discovered, good prediction
• Problems?
• Co and Ni Ar and K Te and I

67
New way

• Henry Moseley British physicist
• Arranged elements according to increasing atomic
  number
• The arrangement today
• P.124 long form
• Symbol, atomic number mass

68
Periodic table

• Horizontal rows periods
• There are 7 periods
• Periodic law
• Vertical column group (or family)
• Similar physical chemical prop.
• Identified by number letter

69
Areas of the periodic table

• Group A elements representative elements
• Wide range of phys chem prop.
• Metals electrical conductors, have luster,
  ductile, malleable

70
Metals

• Group IA alkali metals
• Group 2A alkaline earth metals
• Transition metals and Inner transition metals
  Group B
• All metals are solids at room temperature, except
  _____.

71
Nonmetals

• Nonmetals generally nonlustrous, poor conductors
  of electricity
• Some gases (O, N, Cl) some are brittle solids
  (S) one is a fuming dark red liquid (Br)
• Group 7A halogens
• Group 0 noble gases

72
Division between metal nonmetal

• Heavy, stair-step line
• Metalloids border the line
• Properties intermediate between metals and
  nonmetals
• Learn the general behavior and trends of the
  elements, instead of memorizing each element
  property
