Chapter 2 Elements & Atoms
Dalton’s Atomic Theory • An element is composed of tiny particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element show the same chemical properties. • Atoms of different elements have different properties. • Compounds are formed when atoms of two or more elements combine. In a given compound, the relative number of atoms of each kind are definite and constant. • In an ordinary chemical reaction, no atom of any element disappears or is changed into an atom of another element. Chemical reactions involve changing the way in which the atoms are joined together. • The same elements can be combined to form different compounds by combining the elements in different proportion.
Dalton predicted Law of Multiple Proportions • 1g Cu + 0.252 g O 1.252 g CuO • 1g Cu + 0.126 g O 1.126 g Cu2O
Rutherford’s Model of the Atom • atom is composed mainly of vacant space • all the positive charge and most of the mass is in a small area called the nucleus • electrons are in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus
Charge Mass Electron e- -1 0.0005 Proton p+ +1 ~1 Neutron n0 ~1 Structure of the Atom
Relative size of atom and atomic nucleus Nucleus to atom is like a pencil dot to this lecture hall
Atomic number, Z • the number of protons in the nucleus • the number of electrons in a neutral atom • the integer on the periodic table for each element
Mass Number, A • the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus • Approximately the mass of an atom
Nuclear Notation X-A e.g. C-12 AX e.g. 12C e.g.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. An isotope has 35 electrons and 46 neutrons. The identity of this isotope is best represented as • 46Br • 81Br • 35Pd • 81Pd • 81Kr
Masses of Atoms Carbon-12 Scale Masses of the atoms are compared to the mass of C-12 isotope having a mass of 12.0000
Atomic Masses andIsotopic Abundances natural atomic masses = sum[(atomic mass of isotope) (fractional isotopic abundance)] The average mass of the naturally occurring isotopes Cl 34.969x0.7577+36.966x0.2423=35.453amu
1. 2. 3. 4. The atomic weight of iron is 55.845 amu. The main isotopes of iron are 54Fe and 56Fe. Which isotope is more abundant? • There is insufficient information to answer the question. • There are equal amounts of 54Fe and 56Fe. • 54Fe is more abundant than 56Fe. • 56Fe is more abundant than 54Fe.
The Mole • a unit of measurement, quantity of matter present • Avogadro’s Number 6.022 1023 particles per mole • Latin for “pile” • 1 C-12 atom has mass 12 amu • 1 mole C-12 has mass 12 g
Avogadro’s number converts betweenmoles and number of particles • Molar mass converts betweenmoles and mass
You are given a 1 carat diamond, how many carbon atoms does it contain (1 carat=0.2 g) • 1 carat C x 0.2 g/1carat = 0.2 g C • 0.2 g C x 1 mol C/12.01 g C = 0.01665 mol C • 0.01665 mol C x 6.022x1023 atoms C/1 mol C =1.003x1022 C atoms
Development of Periodic Table Mendeleev • 1869 - Periodic Law • allowed him to predict properties of unknown elements • the elements are arranged according to increasing atomic weights • Missing elements: 44, 68, 72, & 100 amu
Modern Periodic Table Moseley, Henry Gwyn Jeffreys 1887–1915, English physicist. • studied the relations among spectra of different elements. • concluded that the atomic number is equal to the charge on the nucleus based on the x-ray spectra emitted by the element. • explained discrepancies in Mendeleev’s Periodic Law.
