  1. Entrance question • Answer yes or no to the following and prepare to argue your answer • An atom cannot be broken down any further • An atom is the same throughout • An atom is made up of several different parts

  2. Atomic Structure Ch 4-1

  3. Objectives • Describe what an atom is • State the charge, mass, and location of each part of an atom • Describe what valance electrons are

  4. Atoms • The smallest part of an element that still has that’s elements unique properties • Make up ALL matter

  5. History of the atom • In 4th century BC the atom was first theorized by Democritus • He coined the term “atom” meaning unable to divide • Skip to 1808 and John Dalton • Atoms could not be divided • All atoms of a given element are exactly alike • Atoms of different elements can combine to form compounds

  6. Building Blocks • Atoms make up everything! • An atom is the smallest part of an element that still has that elements properties

  7. Atoms are made of • Nucleus – central part of the atom • Protons – positive “+” charged particle • Neutrons – neutral charged particle • Electrons – negative “-” charged particle that rapidly circles the nucleus e- electron

  8. An atom walks into the bar, asks for a drink and asks how much, the bartender replies; for you, no charge! • Why? • A balanced atom has the same number of protons as it does electrons • Same number of + and same of – equals 0 charge • **only true for unreactive atoms!**

  9. Bohr model • Atom is similar to planets’orbits around sun • Electrons can only occupy these “shells” • A higher shell has a higher energy level • Energy is released as e- move closer to the nucleus But how does the electron get from level to level?

  10. Think more like a cloud • The dots represent an area where the electron could be • The more dense the dots the more likely the electron is there • We can never know for sure where the electron actually is These levels are called “Energy levels”

  11. Valance electrons • The electrons in the outermost energy level are called valance electrons • Its these electrons that give the atom its unique chemical properties
