Honors Chemistry Chapter 4 The Structure of the Atom
Early Theories of Matter • Atomic Theory • Democritus • Dalton
Dalton’s Atomic Theory • Based on experimental results • Matter consists of atoms • All the atoms of an element are alike • Atoms of one element differ from atoms of other elements • Atoms are indestructible and only rearranged during chemical reactions
Atoms can combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form compounds • Pg. 102
Discovery of the electron • Cathode ray tube (Crooke’s tube) • Pg. 105 picture • Cathode rays • Particles with negative charge
JJ Thompson • Used cathode ray tube to determine charge/mass ratio of particles • Identified the particles as electrons
Robert Millikan • Calculated the charge and mass of an electron • “Oil drop” experiment • Electron carries exactly one unit of negative charge • Mass is 1/1840 the mass of a hydrogen atom
Each electron carries one unit of negative charge • Proposed “plum pudding” model of the atom • “chocolate chip cookie” model • Electrons stuck in positive “dough”
Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment • pg. 107
IMPORTANT RESULTS!!!! • New atomic model • Atom mostly empty space • Tiny, dense central core – nucleus
Contains all the atoms positive charge • Volume of space in which the electrons move huge compared to volume of the nucleus
Book analogy: • If an atom had a diameter of 2 football fields, the nucleus would be the size of a nickel!
NUCLEONS – particles located within the nucleus • Protons and neutrons • Protons • Positive charge • Mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit)
Neutrons • No charge (neutral) • Mass = 1 amu
Electrons • Located outside the nucleus in “shells” • Each carries one unit of negative charge • Mass 1/1840 amu • Pg. 106 chart for subatomic particles
Atomic number • Number of protons in the nucleus • Identifies the atom as an atom of a particular element • Determines its position on the Periodic Table • Atomic # = #protons = #electrons
MASS NUMBER • Number of protons + number of neutrons • Number of neutrons = mass number – atomic number Isotopes
Isotope Notation • Pg. 112 Sample and practice
Average atomic mass • Weighted average of the naturally occurring isotopes of that element • Is a decimal because of the existence of isotopes • Pg. 114 Table 4.3 • Pg. 116-117 #21-24 • Video: How to Calculate an Average Atomic Weight.
Periodic Table • Arrangement of elements where the elements are separated into groups bases on a set of repeating properties • Can compare properties of elements based on their position on the table
Arranged according to increasing atomic number • Horizontal rows – periods • Vertical columns – groups (families) • Elements within a group have similar chemical and physical properties
