Where do atoms come from? • Are new atoms being made right now on the earth? • If so, how? Where? • Are new atoms being made anywhere right now? • If so, how? Where?
Elements • Elements - contain only one type of atom • 90 naturally occuring elements (Uranium, 92 heaviest naturally occuring) • Transuranium (synthetic) elements • Types of elements a) Monoatomic – Fe, Au b) Molecular – H2, N2, O2, P4, C60
Supernova Remnant
Origin of the Elements Abundance (by mass) Earth’s Crust: 46% O Body: 65 % O Universe: 90% H and 10% He
History: The Atom Democritus 1. Atomos – Indivisible (~400 B.C.) 2. Smallest particle of a substance that retains the properties of that substance 3. Only “Atoms and the Void”
History: The Atom John Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1803) • All matter is made of indivisible particles called atoms • Atoms of same element have same properties • Atoms combine in small, whole # ratios • Chemical reactions are merely the rearrangement of atoms
Symbols for Elements Jons Berzelius – standardized names and symbols of the elements Strontium = Sr
Names for Elements a. Greek & Latin Na = Natrium K = Kalium Li = Lithos b. Places (Ge, Fr, Cf) Y, Yb, Er, Tb = Ytterby c. Scientists (Es, Fm, Cm)
History: The Electron J.J. Thomson (1897) – discovered the electron with a Cathode Ray Tube
History: The Electron Thomson Plum Pudding Model
History: The Nucleus Rutherford (1911) • Discovered Nucleus • Gold Foil Experiment
History: The Nucleus 1:8000 bounced back (10,000 miles/s)
History: The Nucleus 3. Results a. Nucleus is heavy and dense b. 99.9% of atom’s mass is in the nucleus c. Electrons “orbit” the nucleus d. Most of the atom is empty space
History: The Proton Rutherford (1914) • Had been suspected to exist since 1886 (Goldstein’s canal rays) • 1836 times heavier than the electron
History: The Neutron • Discovered last (1932) by Chadwick • Roughly same mass as proton
Particle Charge Mass Proton +1 ~1 g/mol Electron -1 0.00055 g/mol (1/1836) Neutron 0 ~1 g/mol

Isotopes 1. Isotopes – Atoms with the same # of protons, but different # of neutrons • Elements often exist as a mixture of isotopes Protons Neutrons Electrons Copper-63 Copper-65

Isotopes • Cancer treatment (60Co gives off gamma rays) • Medical Tracers (24Na for circulatory system) • 14C dating a. Mummies b. Shroud of Turin 4. Nuclear fuel (235U and 239Pu)
Isotopes • Some isotopes are more common • Hydrogen example 1H 2H (deuterium) 3H (tritium) 3. Atomic Mass – Weighted Average of the isotopes
Average Atomic Mass 4. What is the ave atomic mass of Gallium if it exists as 60.30% 69Ga (68.926 g/mol) and 39.70% 71Ga (70.926 g/mol)? (Ans: 69.72 g/mol)
Average Atomic Mass 5. Out of 400 chlorine atoms, 302 are 35Cl (34.969 g/mol), and 98 are 37Cl (36.966 g/mol). Average atomic mass?
What is average atomic mass of Copper if 69.09% exists as 63Cu (62.9298 g/mol) and the rest exists as 65Cu (64.9278 g/mol)? (0.6909)(62.9298) = 43.48 ( )(64.9278) = 20.07 63.55 g/mol
