3.1 Atomic Structure
October 1, 2015 • Objective: Explain Dalton’s atomic theory and describe why it was more successful than Democritus’ atomic theory. • Do Now: Name the 3 subatomic particles found in an atom (the 3 parts of an atom).
Atomic History • In 400 BC a Greek Philosopher, Democritus suggested the universe was made of invisible units--atoms.
1800’s John Dalton’s Theory (Still Accepted) • Every element is made of tiny, unique particles called atoms • Atoms of different elements can join to form molecules.
John Dalton’s Theory- Disproved • Atoms are the smallest particles and cannot be subdivided. • Atoms of the same element are exactly alike in mass
JJ Thomson • Credited with discovering negative charged particles called electrons.

Rutherford • Credited with discovering nucleus. • and atoms are mostly empty space.
Further Research Finding • Later on, the discovery of protons and neutrons were discovered in the nucleus. • And it was later concluded that all atoms are neutral in charge. • The number of protons and electrons in any atom are always equal.
Niels Bohr • Suggested that electrons move around atoms in set paths around the nucleus. • He said each path is an energy level
Today’s Theory • It is impossible to pinpoint an electron’s exact position due to its tremendous speed. • Electrons do not move around in definite paths.
Today’s Theory • Electrons are found in orbitals within energy levels. (s, p, d, and f ) • a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons.
Today’s Theory • Electrons are now viewed as waves vibrating on a string rather than simple particles. • Wave-Particle Duality Theory
What are atoms? • The smallest part of an element that still has the element’s properties.
Parts of an atom • Nucleus • Proton • Neutron • Electron Subatomic particles
Nucleus • center of an atom • positively charged • makes up 99.9% of the atom’s mass • contains protons and neutrons
Charge (+) Mass is equal to 1 atomic mass unit (amu) Found in the nucleus Identifies the element/atom Protons
Charge (0) – neutral Mass is equal to 1amu Found in the nucleus Helps determine mass Neutrons
Charge is negative (-) Mass is equal to 0 amu Found outside the nucleus, in the electron cloud Electrons
Energy levels • 1st level holds up to 2 e- • 2nd level holds up to 8 e- • 3rd level holds up to 8 or 18 e- • 4th level holds up to 8, 18, or 32 e- • Outer Level holds up to 8 e- (called valence electrons)
Valence Electron • The number of electrons in the outermost electron shell. • Most important
Oct 6, 2014 • Objective: Quantify atoms and ions based on subatomic particles • Do Now: How many valence e- will the following elements have? (Draw out your energy orbitals with the “nucleus” in the center to show work) • Carbon • Na • Hydrogen • Chlorine

Periodic Law • Properties of elements tend to change in a regular pattern when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
Periodic Law • Periodic Table is set up by increasing atomic number. • Atomic Number is the # of protons in the atom.
Atomic Number • tells you number of protons • Never Changes for an atom. • Appears as a whole # on the periodic table. • No two elements can have same atomic #.
Atomic Number Atomic Number # of protons
Mass Number • The mass of an atom • Total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of a single atom. • Atoms of the same element won’t always have the same mass number
Mass Number # of neutrons Mass # # of protons
Isotopes • Any atoms having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. • So they also have different mass numbers.
Average Atomic Mass • Average mass of all known isotopes for an element • Found on the periodic table as a number with a decimal
Atom’s Charge • They are neutral. • All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. • Charges cancel each other out.
Ions • Charged particles. • Form when atoms lose or gain electrons. • They do this so the ions have a full outer shell • Two Types.
Cations • Positively charged ions. • Form when atoms lose electrons. • Metals • Left side of table
Cations • # of protons greater than # of electrons • More (+) than (-)
Na Atom Na+ Cation
Anions • Negatively charged ions. • Form when atoms gain electrons. • Nonmetals • Right side of table
