  4. Labs • Atomic Structure • Atomic Mass of Beadrock • Atomic Spectrum

  5. The Atom • The smallest component of an element. • So if there are103 different elements there are 103 different types of atoms. • Basic unit of all matter. • Matter is anything that has mass and volume.

  6. Subatomic Particles Nucleons located in the Nucleus of an atom • Protons • Neutrons • Electrons • Mass • electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kg • neutron mass = 1.6749286 × 10-27 kg • proton mass = 1.67262158 × 10-27 kg • amu • Atomic mass unit • 1 amu = mass of 1 proton • 1 amu = mass of 1 neutron • Easier for scientists to write in terms of amu • Mass of an electron is approximately 1/1836 of the mass of a proton or 1/1836 th of an amu.

  8. Atomic Structure Theories • Dalton • atoms are the basic units of matter • JJ Thompson • Plum pudding where the raisin are electrons • Rutherford • Atoms are mostly empty space • Bohr • Electrons are located in specific orbits around the nucleus • Wave Mechanical Model • Electrons exist in “clouds” around the nucleus Pg 66-69

  9. Dalton • Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. • All atoms of a given element have identical properties. • Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine with one another in small whole numbers. • The relative numbers and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.

  10. Dalton’s Elements in 1805

  11. JJ Thompson1903 • Atom can be divided into parts. One of which is an electron. • These are negatively charged particles embedded in a positively charged atom. • Raisins embedded in plum pudding

  12. An atom contains a dense positively charged nucleus. The rest of the atom is mostly empty space where the electrons are. Determined this theory after performing the gold-foil experiment. Rutherford 1909

  13. Rutherford’s Gold-foil Experiment • Rutherford directed alpha particles (radioactive source) which are positively charged and smaller than atoms at a thin piece of gold foil. • He expected all the alpha particles to pass through (detected by the fluorescent screen) with just a few being slightly defected.

  14. Rutherford’s Gold-foil Experiment • Results: • Most of the particles did go straight through (atoms are mostly empty space). • A few were slightly deflected. BUT, some were GREATLY deflected. They were strongly repelled by a dense, positive, central core and bounced back

  15. Bohr 1913 • Electrons are located in specific orbits around the nucleus. • Each electron must contain a certain amount of energy to stay in its orbit. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it contains. Planetary Model Pg 80-82

  16. Wave – Mechanical Model • Previously matter was considered a particle and energy was considered a wave. • This current model predicts that matter and energy can act like waves or particles – Dual Nature Concept • In this model (aka - the electron cloud model), the electrons are in orbitals, which are defined as regions of the most probable electron location. Pg 82-85 (2.9-2.10)

  17. Bohr’s Model versus the Wave – Mechanical Model • The difference is in the description of electron location around the nucleus. • Bohr suggested well defined, fixed orbits. • The wave-mechanical model shows electrons located around the nucleus in orbitals. • An orbital is a region in which an electron with a certain amount of energy is most likely to be located (like a cloud).

  18. Rutherford’s Ghost – 2:30 min • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic5Q3_W7q7w&feature=related • Electron in motion – wave mechanical model – 1 min – notice electrons don’t stay in a single path, more of a vibration cloud • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32uEvwxNJvE&feature=related

  19. The Nucleus • Contains both protons and neutrons • Similar in size • Protons are positively charged • Neutrons are not charged, they’re neutral • So overall charge of the nucleus is POSITIVE Pg 70-75 (2.5-2.6)

  20. Atomic Number • Equals the number of protons in an atoms nucleus. • It identifies the element. • It NEVER changes unless the element has changed. • All atoms of Lithium will have 3 Protons.

  21. Nucleus of atom like Nucleus inside of cell • Both contain information that is critical for identification • Cell nucleus contains DNA that identifies the functions of that cell. • Atomic nucleus contains a certain number of protons that identifies the element and its properties.

  22. Mass Number • Equals the number of Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus. • Does NOT identify the element. • Li : mass # = 7 • The # of neutrons an the nucleus can change thus mass # can change.

  23. Isotopes • Atoms of the same protons but with a different number of neutrons. • The number of protons does NOT change.

  24. Isotopes 31H = H31 =H3= H-3

  25. 126C 136C 146C • The Element is __________ • The number 6 refers to the # of ________ • The numbers 12,13,14 refer to the # of _______ • How many protons and neutrons are in the first isotope? • How many protons and neutrons are in the second isotope? • How many protons and neutrons are in the third isotope?

  26. Atomic mass • Decimal • Average of all the isotopes that occur in nature. C-12 C-13 C-14

  27. Calculating Atomic Mass • Of all the naturally occurring Copper, 30.8% are atoms of Copper-65 and 69.2% of copper-63. What is the atomic mass of Cu? • Step 1 - convert percentages into decimals 30.8/100 = .308 69.2/100 = .692

  28. Step 2 – Calculate the contribution of each isotope to the atomic mass by multiplying the decimal percentage by the mass # for each isotope. 0.308 x 65 AMU = 20.2 AMU 0.692 x 63 AMU = 43.596 AMU • Step 3 – Add them together to get the weighted average for the atomic mass. 20.2 AMU + 43.596 AMU 63.796 AMU

  32. Electrons 101 • Found in energy levels around the nucleus (orbitals according to the wave-mechanical model) • Negatively charged • Very, Very, Very small • When atoms are neutral (no charge), protons = electrons, Na0. • Can be gained or lost from the outer most energy level • Valence electrons are found in the valence shell. • These are responsible for most chemical reactions and in the formation of compounds. • Every atom wants 8 valence electrons (unless it has only 1 energy level, then it wants only 2).

  33. Valence Electrons In general, the number of valence electrons affects the chemical properties of an element. Valence electron # = Group # of the periodic table.

  34. unless it has only 1 energy level, then it wants only 2

  35. In an effort to achieve an octet atoms becomes charged and IONS are formed.

  36. Ion Types - Cations • Sodium has 3 orbits (Bohr Model) • The third orbit has 1 electron. • To be more stable • give away the only electron it has in the third orbit • receive 7 more electrons from another atom in order for it to have 8 electrons on the outer orbit. • Both processes would have sodium ending up with 8 electrons on its outer orbit. • Giving away 1 electron is easier than receiving 7 electrons. • Sodium will lose 1 electron which means that it now has 10 electrons and 11 protons. • It has 1 less electron than proton so it’s charge is +1. • Na --> Na+1 + 1e Cats are +

  37. Ion Types - Anions • Oxygen has 2 orbits (Bohr Model). • The second orbit has 6 electrons. • To be more stable • give away all the 6 electrons on the second orbit • receive 2 more electrons from another atom. • Both processes will lead to oxygen having 8 electrons on its outer orbit. • receiving 2 more electrons from another atoms is easier than giving away all its 6 electrons. • Oxygen will receive 2 more electrons which means it now has 10 electrons and 8 protons. • It has 2 more electrons than protons so it’s charge is -2. • O + 2e --> O-2 + 2 e

  50. Electrons 102 • Each electron in an atom has its own distinct amount of energy. • depending on their orbital • Electrons in orbitals closer to the nucleus have less energy and are more stable • Electrons in orbitals further from the nucleus have more energy and are less stable • When all electrons in an atom are in their lowest possible energy level, the atom is at its ground state. • The number of electrons found in each orbital when an atom is at the ground state can be found on the periodic table. • This is the atoms electron configuration.
