Bohr – Rutherford Atomic Model

1. Bohr – Rutherford Atomic Model Neils Bohr improved Rutherford’s model by placing electrons in distinct energy levels or “shells” rather than an electron “cloud”

2. Bohr – Rutherford Atomic Model: • Bohr & Rutherford combined their theories to create the current simplified atomic model • The atom is made up of three sub-atomic particles: • Protons • Electrons • Neutrons

3. The Atom: + 1 amu nucleus Proton outside nucleus - negligible Electron Neutron none 1 amu nucleus

4. The Atom: electron neutron nucleus proton education.jlab.org/ qa/atom_model.html

5. Nucleus: • Contains protons & neutrons • Overall positive charge (+) • Contains nearly all mass (dense) Electrons: • Located outside nucleus • Easily moved, lost or gained • Negative charge (-)

6. 6 C 12 The Atom – Important Info: Since atoms are neutral, the number of protons (+) equals the number of electrons (-) • Every atom has a symbol & two numbers associated with it. • Ex. Atomic Number • The number of protons • The smaller number Mass Number • The mass of an atom • The number of protons & neutrons • The bigger number

7. 8 O 16 Ex #1 For the following atom, state the… i) mass number ii) atomic number iii) # of protons iv) # of electrons v) # of neutrons 16 8 8 8 16 – 8 = 8

8. Ex #2 For the following atom, state the… i) mass number ii) atomic number iii) # of protons iv) # of electrons v) # of neutrons 23 11 11 Na 11 23 11 23 – 11 = 12

9. Ex #3 For the following atom, state the… i) mass number ii) atomic number iii) # of protons iv) # of electrons v) # of neutrons 40 18 18 Ar 18 40 18 40 – 18 = 22

10. Ex #4 For the following atom, state the… i) mass number ii) atomic number iii) # of protons iv) # of electrons v) # of neutrons 64 29 29 Cu 29 64 29 64 – 29 = 35

11. Ex #5 For the following atom, which statement is TRUE? 15 A) The atomic number is 31. B) The atom has 15 neutrons. C) The atom has 16 electrons. D) The atom has 15 protons & 15 electrons. P 31

12. Ex #6 Given a neutral atom, which statement is TRUE? A) An atom always has the same number of electrons as neutrons. B) Electrons & neutrons are found in the nucleus. C) The atomic number states the number of neutrons. D) An atom has the same number of electrons as protons.

13. Key Points to Remember • Atoms are made up of: • Protons • Electrons • Neutrons • Protons & Neutrons are located in the nucleus • Electrons are located outside the nucleus

14. Key Points to Remember • An atom’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons (smaller number) • An atom is neutral, therefore the number of protons & electrons are equal • An atom’s mass number is equal to the protons & neutrons together (bigger number)

16. Electrons: • Recall, in the Bohr-Rutherford atomic model, electrons are located outsidethe nucleus • Electrons are organized into: • Electron shells or • Energy levels or • Orbitals Be familiar with all the terms, especially the first two

17. Electrons: *Simplified – 3rd shell holds 18 electrons 4th shell holds 32 electrons • Each electron shell differs in size & the number of electrons it can hold (capacity) Shows maximum # of electrons in each shell Shells can be partially filled or empty

18. 3 Li 7 Bohr – Rutherford Diagram: • Is a picture of an atom, showing its protons, electrons & neutrons. • Ex. Protons = 3 First Electrons= 3 Neutrons= 4 Second 3 P+ 4 N0 2 e- 1 e- Third

25. The Neutron • The Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom did not answer the question: “What holds the nucleus together given that it is made up of entirely of positive protons?”

26. The Neutron • In 1932, James Chadwick discovered that a third sub-atomic particle called the neutron holds the protons in the nucleus together. • Neutrons are located in the nucleus and have no charge…they are neutral.

27. Nucleus: • Contains protons & neutrons • Overall positive charge (+) • Contains nearly all mass (dense) Electrons: • Located outside nucleus • Easily moved, lost or gained • Negative charge (-)

28. Key Points to Remember • Electrons are located outside the nucleus in electronshells • In the… • 1st shell – 2 electrons • 2nd shell – 8 electrons • 3rd shell – 8 electrons* • 4th shell – 2 electrons* • In Bohr-Rutherford diagrams: • Place Protons & Neutrons in nucleus • Place Electrons in appropriate shells First Find the number of Protons, Electrons & Neutrons
