Chapter 3: Elements, Compounds,and the Periodic Table Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop
Discovery of Subatomic Particles • Late 1800s & early 1900s • Cathode ray tube experiments showed that atoms are made up of subatomic particles • Discovered negatively charged particles moving from • Cathode – negative electrode to • Anode – positive electrode
Discovery of Electron JJ Thomson (1897) • Modified cathode ray tube • Made quantitative measurements on cathode rays • Discovered negatively charged particles • Electrons (e) • Determined charge to mass ratio (e/m) of these particles • e/m = 1.76 x 108 coulombs/gram
Millikan Oil Drop Experiment • Determining charge on Electron • Calculated charge on electron • e = 1.60 x 1019 C • Combined with Thomson’s experiment to get mass of electron • m = 9.09 x 1028 g
Discovery of Atomic Nucleus Rutherford’s Alpha Scattering Experiment • Most alpha () rays passed right through gold • A few were deflected off at an angle • 1 in 8000 bounced back towards alpha ray source • Gave us current model of nuclear atom
Discovery Of Proton • Discovered in 1918 in Ernest Rutherford’s lab • Detected using Mass Spectrometer • Hydrogen had mass 1800x mass of electron • Masses of other gases whole number multiples of mass of hydrogen Proton • Smallest positively charged particle
Rutherford’s Nuclear Atom • Demonstrated that nucleus: • has almost all of mass in atom • has all of positive charge • is located in very small volume at center of atom • Very tiny, extremely dense core of atom • Where protons (p+) & neutrons(1n) are located
Atomic Structure • Electrons (e) • Very low mass • Occupy most of atom’s space • Balance of attractive & repulsive forces controls atom size • Attraction between protons (p+) & electrons (e)holds electrons around nucleus • Repulsion between electrons helps them spread out over volume of atom • In neutral atom • Number of es must equal number of p+s • Diameter of atom ~10,000 × diameter of nucleus
Discovery of Neutron (1n) • First postulated by Rutherford & coworkers • Estimated number of positive charges on nucleus based on experimental data • Nuclear mass based on this number of protons always far short of actual mass • About ½ actual mass • Therefore, must be another type of particle • Has mass about same as proton • Electrically neutral • Discovered in 1932 by Chadwick • Caused free neutron to be created
Properties of Subatomic Particles • 3 Kinds of subatomic particles of principal interest to Chemists Nucleus (protons + neutrons) Electrons
Atomic Notation Atomic number (Z) • Number of protons that atom has in nucleus • Unique to each type of element • Element is substance whose atoms all contain identical number of protons • Z= # protons Isotopes • Atoms of same element with different masses • Same number of protons ( ) • Different number of neutrons ( )
Atomic Notation Isotope Mass number (A) • A = (# protons) + (#neutrons) • A = Z + N • For charge neutrality, number of electrons & protons must be equal Atomic Symbols • Summarize information about subatomic particles • Every isotope defined by 2 numbers Z & A • Symbolized by Ex.What is the atomic symbol for helium? He has 2 e–, 2 n & 2 p+ Z = 2, A = 4
Isotopes • Most elements are mixtures of 2 or more stable isotopes • Each isotope has slightly different mass • Chemically, isotopes have virtually identical chemical properties • Relative proportions of different isotopes are essentially constant • Isotopes distinguished by mass number (A): Ex. • 3 isotopes of hydrogen (H) • 4 isotopes of iron (Fe)
Example: What is the isotopic symbol for Uranium-235? • Number of protons (p+) = 92 = number of electrons in neutral atom • Number of neutrons (1n) = 143 • Atomic number (Z) = 92 • Mass number (A) = 92 + 143 = 235 • Chemical symbol = U • Summary for uranium-235:

Carbon-12 Atomic Mass Scale • Need uniform mass scale for atoms Atomic mass units(symbol u) • Based on carbon: • 1 atom of carbon-12 = 12 u (exactly) • 1 u = 1/12 mass 1 atom of carbon-12 (exactly) Why was 12C selected? • Common • Most abundant isotope of carbon • All atomic masses of all other elements ~ whole numbers • Lightest element, H, has mass ~1 u
Calculating Atomic Mass • Generally, elements are mixtures of isotopes Ex. Hydrogen Isotope Mass %Abundance 1H 1.007825 u 99.985 2H 2.0140 u 0.015 How do we define Atomic Mass? • Average of masses of all stable isotopes of given element How do we calculate Average Atomic Mass? • Weighted average. • Use Isotopic Abundances & isotopic masses
