Chapter 4 The Structure of the Atom
Models of Atom through Time • Democritus • Aristotle • Dalton • Thomson model • Rutherford model • Bohr model • Quantum Mechanical model
Democritus (460-370 BC) • Matter is composed of atoms in empty space • Atoms are solid, homogenous, indestructible, and indivisible • Different kinds of atoms have different sizes and shapes • Size, shape, and movement of atoms determine the properties of matter
Aristotle (384-322 BC) • Empty space cannot exist • Matter is made of earth, fire, air, and water
Dalton’s Model of the Atom • Matter composed of atoms • Said atom is indivisible sphere with uniform density • Theorized atoms of different elements always combine in fixed number ratios to produce specific compounds • Ex: 2H2 + O2 2H2O
Crookes’ Experiment • Cathode ray tube • Disk shaped cathode at narrow end of tube, cross shaped anode at wide end • High voltage applied to electrodes, greenish glow appeared. • Caused by negative particles coming from cathode
Thomson’s Experiment • Used magnets to prove electrons have negative charge when attracted to positively charged plate placed in cathode ray tube (p. 108)
The Electron • Definition: negatively charged subatomic particle • Mass = 9.11 x 10-28 grams • Found around outside of nucleus of atom
Thomson Model • Discovered electron • “Plum Pudding” atomic model • Negative particles stuck in a ball of positive charge
Rutherford Model • Discovered nucleus with gold foil experiment (see next slide) • Most of atom is empty space • Dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by negative electrons
Bohr Model • “Planetary Model” • Electrons travel in orbits around nucleus
Quantum Mechanical Model • Developed by Schrödinger • Used mathematical method to describe the location of electrons in atoms • Address of electron • Mathematically predicts where electron probably is around nucleus • No electron paths, just a fuzzy cloud where electron can be found 90-95% of the time
Rutherford Thompson Quantum Mechanical Bohr All the Models Together
The Proton • Discovered by Ernest Rutherford • Definition: a positively charged subatomic particle • Mass = 1.67 x 10-24 grams • 1836 times larger than mass of electron • Found in nucleus of atom
Neutron • Discovered by James Chadwick (~1935) • subatomic particle having no charge • Mass = same as proton (1.67 x 10-24 grams ) • Found in nucleus of atom
Atomic Number • Equals number of protons and electrons in atom for neutral atom • Ex: 3Li = 3 protons ; 3 electrons
Mass Number • Total # of protons and neutrons in atom’s nucleus • Ex: Li: mass # of 7: has 3 protons, 4 neutrons • Is an average of all the isotopes masses.
Writing Convention • Atomic # as subscript to left of symbol • Mass # as superscript to left of symbol • Ex: 1939K
Isotopes • Definition: atoms of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons, so then have different atomic masses (aka mass #) • Ex: 36Li (lithium-6, Li-6) 37Li (lithium-7, Li-7)
