Atoms and MoleculesUnit 4A The Building Blocks of Matter
All matter is formed by: • Atoms • Molecules • Molecules are groups of different types of atoms bonded together.
Subatomic Particles(Parts of an Atom) • Proton • Electron • Neutron • Measured by AMU’s • Atomic Mass Unit
Parts of an Atom • Atoms are mostly empty space. Ex: If you put a golf ball in the middle of a football stadium (nucleus), the electrons would be WAY up in the nosebleed sections.
Atomic Models • The current model is Electron Cloud, but it is complicated. So… • We will be using the Bohr Model.
e- e- e- e- e- P+ N0 e- e- e- e- e- The Bohr Model • Electrons surround the nucleus in different energy levels.
Elements • Elements = only 1 kind of atom • The # of PROTONS in that element tell us which element it is • Listed on P.T. as atomic number
The Atomic Number tells us the number of Protons an atom has • It also tells us how many electrons a neutral atom has • REMEMBER - APE
Isotopes • Isotopes – elements that have the same # of protons and a different # of neutrons • Isotopes have different masses.
Atomic Mass • Mass number = the mass of one atom • Atomic mass = the average mass of all isotopes of that element. Mass # = #P+ + #N0
