Gotta start somewhere • Let’s go backward in order to go forward What was that all about? • To study atoms and their interactions, we need to revisit something we studied earlier this year • Matter and mass
Matter and Mass • Matter - Everything in universe is composed of matter • anything that occupies space and has mass • Mass – quantity of matter an object has
So matter is made of… • ELEMENTS! • Pure substances that cannot be broken down chemically into simpler kinds of matter • More than 100 elements (92 naturally occurring) • About25of the 92 natural elements are essential to life
So matter is made of… • ELEMENTS! • Pure substances that cannot be broken down chemically into simpler matter • More than 100 elements (92 naturally occurring) • About 25 of the 92 natural elements are essential to life
What about the rest of them? Many used for new technology Platinum: Catalytic converters, fuel cells, electrodes Indium: Solar panels Gallium: LED’s, laser diodes, photodetectors Tantalum: Microchips, new technologies
ATOMS • The simplest particle of an element that retains all the properties of that element • Atoms of each element of have unique properties that determine how that element behaves during chemical reactions
What do we know about ATOMS? • Dalton’s Atomic Theory summarizes the key ideas • 1. All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms* • 2. Atoms of the same element are identical. Each element is made of one type of atom.
What do we know about ATOMS? • Dalton’s Atomic Theory summarizes the key ideas • 3. Atoms of different elements can mix together physically or chemically combine to make compounds • 4. Chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined or rearranged. Atoms of one element are never changed into atoms of another element.
How big (or small) is an atom? • Cell Size and Scale – University of Utah Genetics If a penny was made of pure copper, there would be approximately 2.4x1022 atoms in that one coin. 100 million copper atoms lined up in a row would cover 1 cm of distance
How big (or small) is an atom? • A typical human hair is approximately 1 million carbon atoms wide 100x magnification 400x magnification
Is it possible to see atoms? • Yes, with very advanced microscopes • STM – Scanning Tunneling Microscope • Pb atoms on silicon surface • “The STM works by scanning a very sharp metal wire tip over a surface. By bringing the tip very close to the surface, and by applying an electrical voltage to the tip or sample, we can image the surface at an extremely small scale – down to resolving individual atoms.” Nanoscienceinstruments.com
Atomic Structure • Three particles make up atoms • Protons - Mass of 1 amu, Charge of +1 • Neutrons – Mass of 1 amu, No charge (neutral) • Electrons – No mass, Charge of -1
Atomic Structure • Three particles make up atoms • Protons - Mass of 1 amu, Charge of +1 • Neutrons – Mass of 1 amu, No charge (neutral) • Electrons – No mass, Charge of -1 • Atoms have two regions: The nucleus in the center, and The outer energy levels • Protons and Neutrons are found in the nucleus, Electrons are found in the outer energy levels

Atom Terminology • The Atomic Number for an element is the number of protons in an atom of that element. • Hydrogen atoms all have one proton, so the Atomic Number for Hydrogen is 1 • Atoms with different atomic numbers will be from different elements
Atom Terminology • Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom • # of neutrons = mass number – # of protons (atomic number)
Terminology Continued • Isotopes: Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
Atoms Atoms of the same element that vary in the number of ___________ (atomic # same, atomic mass varies) neutrons • Isotopes
Isotopes 1 H 1 2 H 1 3 H 1 99.98% 0.015% trace Potassium in a banana: 39K (93.25%), 40K (6.7302%) and 41K (0.0117%) Atomic # 19 19p 20n 19e 19p 21n 19e 19p 22n 19e
Why do atomic masses (mass #) have decimal places? • Most elements exist as mixtures of two or more isotopes. • Atomic mass is the average mass of all of the isotopes of given element. Determine the Mass # of Carbon 12.011 C 6 • C-12 98.89% • C-13 1.11% • C-14 trace 12 x .9889 = 11.8668 13 x .0111= 0.1443 + 12.0111
The Electrons • Travel at very high speeds at various distances (energy levels) from the nucleus • Electrons in the same energy level are approximately the same distance from the nucleus • Outer energy levels have more energy than inner levels • Each level holds only a certain number of electrons Remember 2 8 8 !
Atoms 1 H 1 1P 0N 1e Subatomic Particles • Protons • Neutrons • Electrons Drawing Atoms • Atomic # • Atomic Mass (Mass #) 12 C 6 9P 10N 6P 6N 19 F 9 2e 7e 2e 4e

Periodic Table • Elements arranged on a periodic table by their atomic numbers 1 2 4 3 5 6 7 8
Periodic Table Tells the number of outermost electrons Family Period Tells the number of energy levels # of outermost electrons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Compounds • Most elements do not exist by themselves • Readily combine with other elements in a predictable fashion • Compound • Pure substance made up of atoms of two or more elements • Proportion of atoms are always fixed • Ionic or covalently bonded • Chemical formula: the kind and proportion of atoms of each element in a compound • EX: H2O H2O
Molecules: two or more elements covalently bonded (the elements can be the same (O2) or different (CO2) Let’s welcome our friend… Atoms of different elements Blue: Carbon Red: Oxygen Gray: Hydrogen GLUCOSE! SAME!
Molecule • The simplest part of a substance that retains all of the properties of the substance and exists in a free state • Some can be very LARGE and COMPLEX
Key Difference Between Molecules and Compounds • Compounds: Made of two or more different types of atoms • Molecules: Made of the same or different types of atoms
Chemical Formulas 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 When have we seen this before? What are the pieces? What exactly is this formula telling us?
Chemical equations represent chemical reactions coefficient • A ____________ represents the number of molecules involved in the reaction • A _____________represents the number of atoms in each molecule 2H2O subscript 2H2O
Chemical Formulas 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 How many atoms of carbon are in a molecule of glucose? (subscript) How many water molecules are necessary to make a molecule of glucose? (coefficient) 6 6
Chemical equations represent chemical reactions • Chemical Reactions: Atoms in an existing substance are rearranged to form a new substance. • Chemical bonds in the reactants are broken, and new bonds are formed to make the products. • A Chemical Equation represents the chemical reaction that converts the original substances (original forms of matter) into new substances (new forms of matter) 2H2 + 022H2O Products Reactants
Chemical equations represent chemical reactions • A Chemical Equation represents the chemical reaction that converts the original substances (original forms of matter) into new substances (new forms of matter) 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Reactants Products • The number of each kind of atom must be the same in both the reactants and products
Chemical Bonds • An attraction between atoms that forms as a result of the sharing or complete transfer of electrons. Atoms tend to react (combine) with other atoms in order to become more stable (undergo chemical reactions) Stability = full outer electron level
What about the family farthest to the right? The noble gases have a full outer electron shell and thus do not want to react with other elements. They are stable!
Ionic Bonds • Some atoms become stable by becoming ions--- losing or gaining electrons • Atoms that lose electrons are called positive ions _____________ • Atoms that gain electrons are called negative ions __________ cations anions
Because positive and negative electrical charges attract each other ionic bonds form Other ionic compounds: CaCl2 KBr MgF2
Emergent property: Characteristic of a system not observed in any of its individual components. • The physical and chemical properties of a compound differ from the physical and chemical properties of the individual elements that compose it Sodium- soft, silvery white, highly reactive metal Will Kill You Chlorine- yellowish green , non metal, gas Will Kill You Sodium Chloride- Table Salt YUM Other example Example of emergent properties
Halogens Chalcogens Nobel Gases Alkaline Earth Metals Alkali Metals
Covalent Bonds • Formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons • Octet Rule
