CHEMISTRY Atoms: The Building Blocks of Matter Southern Boone County HS William Palmer
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Democritus- • Greek • 400 B.C.E. • Defined ATOM as indivisible
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Aristotle- • Greek • Followed Democritus • Did not believe in atoms • Set chemistry back for 2,000 years
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • 1700s ideal that an element cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical means. • Questioned if elements always combine in the same ratios form a compound.
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Chemical Reaction: Transformation of a substance or substances into one or more new substances.
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions.
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Law of Definite Proportions: A chemical compound contains the same elements in the same proportions regardless of the size or source of the compound.
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Law of Multiple Proportions: If two or more compounds are composed of the same elements, the ratios of the masses of the elements are small whole numbers.
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Dalton’s Atomic Theory: • 1808 Dalton • English • Theory used to explain previous laws
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Dalton’s Atomic Theory: • 1) Matter is composed of small particles called atoms • 2) All atoms of the same element are identical; different atoms are different • 3) Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed • 4) atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form chemical compounds • 5) In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • Dalton’s Atomic Theory: • Some slight modifications based on nuclear chemistry and our understanding of atomic structure. THE BIG PICTURE All matter is composed of atoms Atoms of one element differ in properties from another atom
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM • ATOM = The smallest part if an element that retains the chemical properties of the element. • Two Regions • Nucleus-small, center of atom • Protons, positive charge • Neutrons, neutral charge • Electron Cloud, very large • Electrons, Negative charge
SUBATOMIC PARTICLES CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • COUNTING ATOMS • Atomic Number (Z) • Number of protons in each atom of the element • Look at Periodic Table for Z
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • COUNTING ATOMS • Isotopes • Some atoms have different numbers of neutrons • Different numbers of neutrons affect weight of an atom • So, Isotopes of the same element have different masses (due to the number of neutrons)
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • COUNTING ATOMS • Hydrogen-three isotopes • PROTIUM = 1 proton • DUTERIUM = 1 proton, 1 neutron • TRITIUM = 1 proton, 2 neutrons • All occur in nature, deuterium and tritium very rare • Tritium is radioactive
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter • MASS NUMBER • Number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope Mass number – atomic number = number of neutrons • Nuclide is a general term for a specific isotope of an elemet
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS Based on Carbon -12 atom 1 amu is 1/12 mass of a carbon-12 atom
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS Note that atomic weights on the Periodic Table are not simple whole numbers. This is due to the relative abundance of each isotope of the element We will round the atomic mass to two decimal places for use in our calculations.
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter THE MOLE A mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that contains as many particles as the are in 12 g of carbon-12
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter AVAGADRO’S NUMBER The number of particles in exactly one mole of a pure substance 6.022 1415 x 10 23 or 6.022 x 10 23 IF EVERY PERSON ON EARTH WORKED TO COUNT THE ATOMS IN ONE MOLE AT THE RATE OF ONE ATOM/SEC, IT WOULD TAKE 3,000,000 YEARS TO COUNT ALL THE ATOMS
CHEMISTRY- Atoms the Building Blocks of Matter MOLAR MASS An alternate definition of mole is the amount of a substance that contains an Avogadro's number of particles. 1 mol He = 4 g 1 mol Cu = 64 g The mass of one mole of a pure substance is called the molar mass
