Defining the AtomAtom – the smallest particle of an
element that retains its identityCan not see with naked eyeNanoscale (10-9 m)Seen with scanning
tunneling electronmicroscope
DemocritusDemocritus was a Greek to first
come up with idea of an atom.
His belief: atoms were indivisible and indestructible. = WRONG!
Atom comes from “atmos” - indivisible
Dalton’s Atomic Theory2000 yrs later, John Dalton used
scientific method to transform Democritus’s idea into a scientific theory
Dalton put his conclusions together into his Atomic Theory (4 parts)
Dalton’s Atomic Theory1. All elements are composted of tiny,
indivisible particles called atoms.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory2. Atoms of the same element are
identical. Atoms of different elements are different
Dalton’s Atomic Theory3. Atoms of different elements can
physically mix or chemically combine in whole number ratios.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory4. Chemical reactions occur when
atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element can never be changed into atoms of another element due to a chemical reaction.
The ElectronParticle with negative charge
Discovered by J.J. Thomson
Used cathode ray (electron) beam and a magnet/charged plate.
Millikan found the charge and mass
The Proton and NeutronAn atom is electrically nuetral
If there is a negative particle then there must be positive particle
Proton – particle with positive charge
Chadwick discovered neutron – neutral charge
Thomson’s Atomic ModelElectrons distributed in a sea of
positive chargePlum Pudding Model
Rutherford’s Atomic ModelPerformed Gold-Foil ExperimentBeam of Alpha particles with positive
charge shot at thin piece of gold foilAlpha particles should have easily passed
through with slight deflection due to positive charge spread throughout.
Results: Most particles went straight through with no deflection. Some were deflected at large angles.
Rutherford’s Atomic ModelThe nucleus is the central part of the
atom containing protons and neutronsPositive chargeMost of the mass
Electrons are located outside the nucleusNegative chargeMost of the volume
Atomic Number An element is defined only by the
number of protons it contains
Atomic Number – number of protons
Number of protons = number of electronFor a neutral element
Identify the number of Protons1. Zinc (Zn)
2. Iron (Fe)
3. Carbon (C)
4. Uranium (U)
1. 30
2. 26
3. 6
4. 92
Mass NumberNucleus contains most of the mass
Mass Number – total protons and neutrons
Number of neutron = Mass # – Atomic #
Identify # of Subatomic Particles1. Lithium
(MN = 7)
2. Nitrogen(MN = 14)
3. Fluorine(MN = 19)
**MN = Mass Number
1. 3 p+ , 3 e-, 4 n0
2. 7 p+ , 7 e-, 7 n0
3. 9 p+ , 9 e-, 10 n0
Differences in Particle NumberDifferent element: different number of
protons
Ions – same number of proton, different number of electrons
Isotope – same number of proton, different number of neutronsDifferent Mass Numbers
Two Notations for AtomsNuclear Notation
Write the element symbolOn left side, superscript = Mass NumberOn left side, subscript = Atomic Number
Isotope –Hyphen NotationWrite full name of elementOn right side, put a dashOn right side put Mass Number after dash
Hydrogen - 3
Ex: Three isotopes of oxygen are oxygen-16, oxygen-17, and oxygen-18. Write the
nuclear symbol for each.
Ex: Three isotopes of chromium are chromium-50, chromium-52, and chromium-53. How many neutrons are in each isotope?
Ex: Calculate the number of neutrons for 99
42Mo.
Atomic MassAtomic Mass Unit (amu) – one-twelfth of
the mass of the carbon-12 atom
Different isotopes have different amu (mass) and abundance (percentage of total)
Atomic Mass – weighted average mass of the naturally occurring atoms.Isotope MassIsotope Abundance
Atomic MassBecause abundance is considered, the
most abundant isotope is typically the one with a mass number closest to the atomic mass.
Example, Boron occurs as Boron-10 and Boron-11. Periodic Table tells us Born has atomic mass of 10.81 amu.Boron-11 must be more
abundant
Calculating Atomic MassConvert the Percent Abundance to
Relative Abundance (divide by 100)
Multiple atomic mass of each isotope by its relative abundance
Add the product (from step above) of each isotope to get overall atomic mass.
Ex: Calculate the atomic mass for bromine. The two isotopes of bromine have atomic masses and percent abundances of 72.92 amu (50.69%) and 80.92 amu
(49.31%).
Ex: Calculate the atomic mass for X. The four isotopes of X have atomic masses and percent abundances of 204 amu
(1.4%), 206 amu (24.1%), 207 amu (22.1%), and 208 amu (52.4%).
Ex: Calculate the atomic mass for H. The three isotopes of H have atomic masses and percent abundances of 27
amu (85%), 26 amu (10%), and 28 amu (5%).
Nuclear RadiationRadioactivity – nucleus emits particles
and rays (radiation)
Radioisotope – a nucleus that undergoes radioactive decay to become more stable
An unstable nucleus releases energy through radioactive decay.
Nuclear RadiationNuclear force – the force that holds
nuclear particles together Very strong at close distances
Of all nuclei known, only a fraction are stableDepends on proton to neutron ratioThis region of stable nuclei called band
of stability
Half LifeHalf Life – the time required for one-
half the sample to decayCan be very short
or very long
