  1. Chemistry Chapter 3 Atoms Building Blocks of Matter Not the history of the atom itself, but the history of the idea of the atom

  2. Philosophical Idea • Greeks • Only theoretical • 400 BC thought matter could be divided into smaller particles until basic particle found • Democritus • 460-370 BC • Coined the term atom • atoma (sg. atomon) or "indivisible units" • Believers of Democritus theory called atomists

  3. Aristotle • 384-322 BC • claimed that there was no smallest part of matter and that different substances were made up of proportions of fire, air, earth, and water • As there were of course no experimental means available to test either view, Aristotle's prevailed mainly because people liked his philosophy better. • Followed this idea until 18th century

  4. Robert Boyle (1600’s) • 1st true “chemist” • Discovered a relationship between pressure and volume (Boyle’s Law)

  5. Contributing Principles to Atom • Antoine and Marie Lavoisier • (1700’s)Conducted experiments • that eliminated the 4 element idea • Underlying the new chemistry is the assumption that matter is conserved.  Weight becomes the tool for determining if a product is simpler or more complex than an ingredient.

  6. Joseph Louis Proust • Created Law of definite Proportions or Proust Law states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass

  7. Robert Bunsen • Found that when heated, different elements produced different colors in a flame

  8. Atomic Theory • John Dalton 1766-1844 • English school teacher, hobby meteorology • 1st individual to recognize the importance of Democritus theory • Daltons Theory • All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms • Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in properties. • Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed • Atoms of different elements can combine in simple, whole number ratios to form compounds • In chemical rxn, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged

  9. Proposed the “Billiard-ball model” of the atom

  10. Atomic theory accepted • Explained the Laws of conservation of mass and definite composition • Exceptions to theory • Atoms are divisible—discovery of the subatomic particles • An elements atoms can have different mass***discovery of isotopes

  11. Atom and conservation of mass • “if atoms are indivisible and atoms of different elements can combine in chemical reactions then it must be that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction.”

  12. Law of Multiple Proportions • Created by John Dalton • States: If two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element can be expressed as ratios of small whole numbers • Carbon Monoxide vs Carbon Dioxide

  13. Structure of the Atom • Defn. atom: smallest particle of an element that can exist alone or in combination with other atoms • Defn. atomic structure: the identity and arrangement of smaller particles w/in atoms • Regions of atom • Nucleus • DENSE central part • Is positive in charge • Outer energy levels (shells, rings) • Contain negative particles

  14. Subatomic particles • Discovery of Electron • John Joseph (JJ) Thomson • English physicist • Measured ration of the charge of a cathode-ray particle to mass • Found ratio always the same regardless of metal used to make the cathode or the gas used • Concluded all cathode rays were composed of negative particles • Called particles ELECTRONS

  15. Plum pudding model

  16. Charge and Mass of Electron • Robert Millikan • American physicist • Found mass of e- to be 1/2000 of mass of H atom • Accepted mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10-28 grams • Electron present in all matter

  17. Inferences • Because atoms are neutral, must also contain a positive charge • Because e- are so small, there must be other particles present to account for the mass

  18. Discovery of Atomic Nucleus • Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger, and Ernest Marsden • Studied the bombardment of thin metal foil with alpha particles (+) • Rutherford concluded: The force of repulsion must be caused by very densely packed bundles of matter with a positive charge • Called the bundle the NUCLEUS

  19. Nucleus • Has a positive charge • Contains nearly all mass of the atom • Takes up an insignificant fraction of volume • Composition • Protons • Positive charged • Equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron

  20. Nuclear Model of the Atom

  21. Discovery of Neutron • James Chadwick • Chadwick made a fundamental discovery in the domain of nuclear science: he proved the existence of neutrons - elementary particles devoid of any electrical charge.

  22. Henri Becquerel (December 15, 1852-August 25, 1908) • Accidentally discovered radioactivity • Alpha particles (+2 charge) • (Also beta particles, gamma rays)

  23. Niels Bohr • Created first accepted model Of the atom using the work of previous scientists Stated that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels Will be expanded in next chapter

  24. Arnold Sommerfeld • Expanded the Bohr model Electrons travel in orbitals, but the orbitals are not the same shape -- this leads to the electron cloud model of the atom

  25. Erwin Schrödinger (1887 – 1961) and Louis Victor de Broglie • Model: The Wave Mechanical Model (Also the Quantum Mechanical Model) • Schrödinger used the new quantum theory to write and solve mathematical equations to describe the location and energy of an electron in an atom. • The model is derived from mathematical solutions to the Schrödinger equation. • Schrödinger’s model is primarily mathematical; there are few (if any) analogies in real life. • The Quantum Mechanical Model – a modern description of electrons in atoms

  26. Wolfgang Ernst Pauli (25 April 1900 – 15 December 1958) • an Austriantheoretical physicist noted for his work on spin theory, and for the discovery of the exclusion principle underpinning the structure of matter and the whole of chemistry.

  27. Werner Heisenberg (December 5,1901 –February 1, 1976) was a German theoretical physicist who made foundational contributions to quantum mechanics and is best known for asserting the uncertainty principle of quantum theory.

  28. Properties of Subatomic particles • See table 1 page 76

  29. Important Information for Counting Atoms • Atomic number called the Z number • Atomic mass is the average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element • Isotopes are atoms from same element having different numbers of neutrons • Nuclear Symbol: • Hyphen notation: Name---mass • When using masses, round to the nearest hundredth • Mass must be relative (ie expressed in a unit) • Formula mass in u or amu (atomic mass unit) • Ex.: Hydrogen is 1.01 u or 1.01 amu

  30. A mole (mol) is a counting unit that describes the amount of substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12g of Carbon-12 • Molar mass: the mass of one mole of a substance expressed in grams/mol • For elements that is the atomic mass in g/mol

  31. Amedeo AvogadroLorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, conte di Quaregna e di Cerreto (1776 - 1856) • at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain the same number of particles Avogadro’s hypothesis

  32. Avogadro’s Number 6.022E23 atoms=1mole
