4
First Ideas

• Aristotle - Famous philosopher
• All substances are made of 4 elements
• Fire - Hot
• Air - light
• Earth - cool, heavy
• Water - wet
• Blend these in different proportions to get all
  substances

5
Whos Next?

• Late 1700s - John Dalton- England.
• Teacher- summarized results of his experiments
  and those of others.
• Daltons Atomic Theory
• Combined ideas of elements with that of atoms.

6
Daltons Atomic Theory

• All matter is made of tiny indivisible particles
  called atoms.
• Atoms of the same element are identical, those of
  different atoms are different.
• Atoms of different elements combine in whole
  number ratios to form compounds.
• Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of
  atoms. No new atoms are created or destroyed.

7
Just How Small Is an Atom?

• Think of cutting a piece of lead into smaller and
  smaller pieces
• How far can it be cut?
• An atom is the smallest particle of an element
  that retains the properties of that element
• Atoms-very small Fig. 5.2, p. 108
• still observable with proper instruments Fig.
  5.3, page 108

Section 5.2Structure of the Nuclear Atom

• Learning Target
• I can distinguish among protons, electrons, and
  neutrons in terms of relative mass and charge.

9
Section 5.2Structure of the Nuclear Atom

• Learning Target
• I can describe the structure of an atom,
  including the location of the protons, electrons,
  and neutrons with respect to the nucleus.

10
Parts of Atoms

• J. J. Thomson - English physicist. 1897
• Made a piece of equipment called a cathode ray
  tube.
• It is a vacuum tube - all the air has been pumped
  out.
• Determined the presence of electrons in atoms

  moving pieces were negative

26
Other particles

• Proton - positively charged pieces 1840 times
  heavier than the electron
• Neutron - no charge but the same mass as a proton

27
Rutherfords experiment

• Ernest Rutherford -English physicist. (1910)
• Wanted to see how big atoms are.
• Used radioactivity.
• Alpha particles - positively charged pieces-
  helium atoms minus electrons
• Shot them at gold foil which can be made a few
  atoms thick.

28
Rutherfords experiment

• When an alpha particle hits a fluorescent screen,
  it glows.
• Heres what it looked like (page 111)

He Expected

• The alpha particles to pass through without
  changing direction very much.
• Because?
• the positive charges were thought to be spread
  out evenly. Alone they were not enough to stop
  the alpha particles.

31
How he explained it

• Atom is mostly empty.
• Small dense, positive piece at center.
• Alpha particles are deflected by it if
  they get close enough.

32
Density and the Atom

• Since most of the particles went through, it was
  mostly empty space.
• Because the pieces turned so much, the positive
  pieces were heavy.
• Small volume, big mass, big density.
• This small dense positive area is the nucleus.

Section 5.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• Learning Target
• I can explain how the atomic number identifies an
  element.

35
Section 5.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• Learning Target
• I can use the atomic number and mass number of an
  element to find the numbers of protons,
  electrons, and neutrons.

36
Section 5.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• Learning Target
• I can explain how isotopes differ, and why the
  atomic masses of elements are not whole numbers.

37
Section 5.3Distinguishing Between Atoms

• Learning Target
• I can calculate the average atomic mass of an
  element from isotope data.

38
Counting the Pieces

• Atomic Number number of protons in the nucleus
• of protons determines kind of atom (since all
  protons are alike!)
• the same as the number of electrons in the
  neutral atom.
• Mass Number the number of protons neutrons.
• These account for most of mass

39
Symbols

• Contain the symbol of the element, the mass
  number and the atomic number.

• Contain the symbol of the element, the mass
  number and the atomic number.

46
Isotopes

• Dalton was wrong.
• Atoms of the same element can have different
  numbers of neutrons.
• different mass numbers.
• called isotopes.

47
Naming Isotopes

• We can also put the mass number after the name of
  the element.
• carbon- 12
• carbon -14
• uranium-235

48
Atomic Mass

• How heavy is an atom of oxygen?
• There are different kinds of oxygen atoms.
• More concerned with average atomic mass.
• Based on abundance of each element in nature.
• Dont use grams because the numbers would be too
  small.

49
Measuring Atomic Mass

• Unit is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
• One twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
• Each isotope has its own atomic mass, thus we
  determine the average from percent abundance.

50
Calculating averages

• Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by its
  abundance (expressed as a decimal), then add the
  results.
• Sample 5-5, p.120

51
Atomic Mass

• Calculate the atomic mass of copper if copper has
  two isotopes. 69.1 has a mass of 62.93 amu and
  the rest has a mass of 64.93 amu.

52
Atomic Mass

• Magnesium has three isotopes. 78.99 magnesium 24
  with a mass of 23.9850 amu, 10.00 magnesium 25
  with a mass of 24.9858 amu, and the rest
  magnesium 25 with a mass of 25.9826 amu. What is
  the atomic mass of magnesium?
• If not told otherwise, the mass of the isotope is
  the mass number in amu

53
Atomic Mass

• Is not a whole number because it is an average.
