1 Atomic Structure How do you discover and study something you can t see?

2 WHAT IS A THEORY? A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made as a starting point for further investigation (It s bright outside because the sun is probably out) A theory is an explanation confirmed through repeated observation and experimentation (When the sun is out, it tends to be bright outside) A law is a fact of nature that is observed so often it is accepted as truth. Theories EXPLAIN laws. Theory vs. Law- Ted Ed

3 ATOMIC THEORY WHAT IS IT?? The idea that matter is made up of atoms, the smallest pieces of matter.

4 The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element. A scanning tunneling microscope allows individual atoms to be seen. Imagine you could increase the size of an atom to make it as big as an orange. At this new scale, an orange would be as big as Earth. THE ATOM

5 History of the Atom As a class we will be creating a timeline of the discovery of the atom Each group will be responsible for one of the following scientists: Democritus Rutherford Bohr JJ Thomson Schrodinger/Heisenberg (quantum mechanics) Chadwick Dalton Your group will research the following information and present it to the class: Date What was the time or year of the scientist s work concerning the atom? Observations/Experiments/Evidence Describe or explain what observation, evidence, or experiment the scientist used to devise his theory of the atom. Discoveries/Conclusions Explain what discovery or conclusion the scientist came to about the atom. What was his atomic theory? Contribution Explain how the scientist helped in the development of atomic theory. How did his work contribute to the theory? What did his experiment/discovery/conclusion do for the theory? Think about the larger picture and how the theory progressed as a result of his work. Be able to draw a diagram of the scientist s model of the atom

6 History of Atomic Theory Greek philosophers believed all matter was made up of four basic elements: fire, earth, water, and air. And that matter could be endlessly divided into smaller and smaller pieces

7 History of Atomic Theory Democritus: B.C. Proposed the idea that matter was not infinitely divisible, but made of individual particles called atomos. Aristotle ( B.C.) disagreed because he did not believe empty space could exist. His views went unchallenged for 2000 years.

8 History of Atomic Theory John Dalton revived the idea of the atom in the early 1800 s with his Atomic Theory of Matter Which parts are still considered true? Which are not considered true?

9 John Dalton also easily explained the law of conservation of mass (which was proposed by Lavoisier) in a chemical reaction as the result of the combination, separation or rearrangement of atoms. LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS

10 Dalton s theory also helps explain a law proposed by Proust in the early 1800 s. The law of constant composition states that the elemental composition of a compound is always the same. ex: water is always 11% hydrogen and 89% oxygen (by mass) LAW OF CONSTANT COMPOSITION

11 Discovery of Atomic Structure JJ Thomson (1897) Cathode Ray Tube experiment _ Thomson released cathode rays + from one side of the tube and they were attracted to the positive plate. What attracts to a positive charge? Discovered first subatomic particle: the Electron.

12 JJ Thomson Video

13 Discovery of Atomic Structure Rutherford (1895) Gold foil experiment Most particles pass through, but some are bounced back towards the source. Discovered a positively charged nucleus and that atoms are mostly empty space.

14 Plum pudding atom Nuclear atom Alpha particles

15 Discovery of Atomic Structure Later Rutherford (1919) refined his model to include the positively charged particles in the nucleus called protons. Chadwick (1932) noticed the dense nucleus had a particle that was not charged! Discovered the neutron

16 Rutherford and Chadwick Video

17 Bohr (early 1900s) proposed the electron cloud in which electrons orbit at a given distance from the nucleus. Small orbits = low energy Big orbits = high energy

18 Modern Atomic Theory (quantum mechanical model)

19 Structure of the Atom Nucleus: dense, central part of the atom. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. Electron cloud: large area outside of the nucleus. Electrons occupy the electron cloud in orbitals.

20 Parts of the Atom Subatomic Particle Location Charge Relative Mass Proton Nucleus X C x10-24 g Neutron Nucleus x10-24 g Electron e- cloud X C 1/ x10-28 g

21 What do all the numbers mean on the PT? Atomic Mass the decimal number on the periodic table. The average mass of all isotopes of that element. Atomic Number - # of protons in an atom. It is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. The atomic number determines an element s identity!

22 What about Neutrons? The mass of the atom comes from the nucleus. Each proton has a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit) Each neutron has a mass of 1 amu. Add the number of protons and neutrons to find the mass number of the atom!

23 Isotopes What are they? atoms of the same element that have different mass numbers. This means the number of is the same, and the number of is different.

24 ISOTOPES OF CARBON Carbon-12 Mass Number = 12 Atomic Number = 6 Neutrons = Mass Protons Carbon-14 Mass Number = 14 Atomic Number = 6 Neutrons = Mass - Protons 6 Neutrons 8 Neutrons Protons Neutrons

26 2 ways to depict isotopes Hyphen Notation: C-14 Super/Sub Script:

27 Element Atomic # Mass # # p + # n 0 # e - Super/sub method Hyphen method Ruthenium

28 Practice: 1. What is the atomic number of zinc? 2. How many electrons does silver have? 3. How many protons does iodine have? 4. How many neutrons does Fe-53 have? 5. What is the mass number of Chlorine-37? 6. How many electrons does Chlorine-37 have? 7. What is the mass number of tritium? 8. How many neutrons does neon-20 have? 9. How many neutrons does deuterium have?

29 ATOMS Differ by number of protons ISOTOPES Differ by number of neutrons IONS Differ by number of electrons Differ by number of electrons ISOTOPES Differ by number of neutrons

30 How is the mass of atoms measured? Atoms can t easily be measured in grams because they are so small. Scientists devised atomic mass units (a carbon-12 isotope is amu s) What is the mass, in amu s, of Hydrogen-1? You would think it was right?! It s actually a little different.

31 Average atomic mass is a different kind of average a weighted average. think about your six weeks average. This means that we take into account the abundance of each isotope found in nature. Saying that Boron s average mass is 10.5 would be misleading since there s so much more Boron-11.

32 Average Atomic Mass The average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes weighted for their abundance in nature. (weighted average) (mass)(abundance/100)= (mass)(abundance/100)= + (mass)(abundance/100)= + Using this formula will ensure the correct number of sig figs Is the AAM on the Periodic Table?

33 Calculating Average Atomic Mass 1. Argon has three isotopes with the following percent abundances: Ar-36 with a mass of amu and an abundance of %. Ar-38 with a mass of amu and an abundance of %. Ar-40 with a mass of amu and an abundance of %. Calculate the average atomic mass, but first write down what you expect the average atomic mass to be close to!

34 3. The atomic weight of gallium is amu. The masses of naturally occurring isotopes are amu for Ga-69 and amu for Ga-71. Calculate the percent abundance of each isotope.

35 The atomic weight of gallium is amu. The masses of naturally occurring isotopes are amu for Ga-69 and amu for Ga-71. Calculate the percent abundance of each isotope. [(68.92)(Ga-69 abundance) + (70.92)(Ga-71 abundance)]/100 = We have 2 unknowns we need another equation. Can you think of a mathematical relationship between the two abundances???? HINT What should the abundances add up to?

36 Answer Abundance of Ga-71 is 40% and abundance of Ga-69 is 60%.
