Chapter 4 Atomic Structure
Warm Up We have not yet discussed this material, but what do you know already?? What is an atom? What are electron, neutrons, and protons? Draw a picture of an atom from what you know today.
Today s Agenda QOTD: How did we come to understand the atom? Historical journey of the atom Scientists and experiments Atomic Structure No homework tonight, but warning, you ll have some this weekend
History of the Atom 1. Democritus vs. Aristotle pg. 102-103 2. John Dalton and conservation of mass pg. 104-105 3. Cathode ray tube and Sir William Crookes pg. 107-108 4. Mass and charge of electron (J.J. Thompson) and oil drop experiment pg. 108-109 5. Plum pudding model vs. Rutherford s experiment pg. 110-112
Democritus Greek philosopher who asked questions about matter. Can you divide matter infinitely? Democritus says no! Tiny particles called atoms, indivisible! Matter is composed of atoms, which move through empty space. Atoms are solid homogeneous, indestructible, and indivisible. Atoms have different sizes and shapes. These properties, and movement determine properties of matter
John Dalton Matter is composed of small particles called atoms that are indivisible and indestructible. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and chemical properties, and are different from those of another element. Different atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds. In a chemical reaction, atoms are separated, combined or rearranged.
The Atom EXTREMELY small particle of an element that retains the properties of that element is an atom. If atom is the size of an orange, an orange would be the size of the EARTH
Subatomic Particles - Electron Cathode Ray Tube Thin beam of electrons travels from cathode to anode! Cathode rays are a Cathode Vacuum Anode stream of charged particles. Particles carry a negative charge now called electrons!
J.J. Thompson Determined that the mass of the charged particle (electron) was much less than that of the hydrogen atom. Dalton was WRONG about the atom being the smallest particle!
Dalton s Inaccuracies Atoms are not the smallest type of matter! Subatomic particles electrons, protons, and neutrons Atoms of the same element can have slightly different masses! - isotopes
Millikan Oil-Drop Experiment Determined the charge of an electron. Charge up the oil particles with electrons. Change the electric field changes the rate of oil droplets! (MOVIE!) Charge of electron 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs Mass of electron = 9.1 x 10-28 grams
Plum Pudding Model Matter isn t all negatively charged, so how do we have negatively charged subatomic particles without positively charged ones?? J.J. Thompson thought an atom was a positively charged sphere with electrons hanging out within.
Warm Up What were Dalton s inaccurate theories. Why are they wrong? What were the correct ones? What was JJ Thompsons model for the atom?
Agenda Question of the Day: What is an isotope and how do we write an isotopic symbol? Finish history lesson Periodic table and isotopes Ions Homework is actually due tomorrow I forgot that we started on a Tues sorry!
Rutherford and the Nucleus Experiment proved that plum pudding model was incorrect! Atom is mostly empty space through which e - can move. Almost all of the positive charge and atomic mass resides in the center NUCLEUS! Nucleus is positively charged to deflect alpha particles and to balance electron charge.
Subatomic Particles Electron VERY tiny, negatively charged Proton located in the nucleus, charge opposite of an electron (positive!) Neutron located in the nucleus, same mass as a proton, neutral!
Atomic Theory Today Quantum Mechanical Model All atoms are made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus, protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus. Electrons exist in a cloud surrounding the nucleus. Attracted to the nucleus so they hang around! Nucleus accounts for 99.97% of the atomic mass, and occupies a VERY small volume. A neutral atom has the same number of electrons and protons!
Current Atomic Model Neutral atom: # Protons = # Electrons Simulation!!
Warm Up Which of John Dalton s 4 theorems are wrong and why? In what experiment was the electron discovered? What was Rutherford s contribution? Describe the current model of the atom.
Today s Agenda Question of the Day: What is an isotope and how do we write an isotopic symbol? Periodic table and isotopes Ions Average atomic mass Homework Ch 4 58-74 evens due Monday (they re not too bad)
Properties of Atoms Atomic # # of Protons = # of Electrons (in neutral atom) Atomic mass # Protons + # neutrons
Practice What is the isotopic symbol for each?
Isotopes and Ions Isotope Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Things to remember The # of protons of an element NEVER changes, and is ALWAYS the same as the Atomic #. If the # neutrons is different = ISOTOPE If the # electrons is different = ION + = cation Less electrons - = anion More electrons 70 Isotopic symbol : Ge 32

Mass of Atoms Mass of electron = 1/1840 th of a proton Mass of proton mass of neutron 1 atomic mass unit (amu) mass of proton Carbon 12 atom = 12 amu Why aren t the masses of elements in whole numbers?
Atomic Mass = Average of Isotopes Weighted average mass mass of each isotope contributes to total mass according to how much of that isotope exists. Amu = ((Mass of Isotope 1 ) x (Relative Abundance 1 )) + ((Mass of Isotope 2 ) x (Relative Abundance 2 )) Amu = ((M 1 ) x (RA 1 )) + ((M 2 ) x (RA 2 )) + ((M 3 ) x (RA 3 ))
Atomic Mass = Average of Isotopes Given info: K Potassium Three isotopes = 39 K 40 K 41 K 19 19 19 Percent Composition: 93.26% 0.01% 6.73% What is the atomic mass (AMU)??
Calculate the Atomic Mass of K 1. Use % composition and convert to relative abundance decimal (divide by 100) 93.26% composition =.9326 relative abundance 2. Amu = ((Mass of Isotope 1 )x(relative Abundance 1 )) + ((Mass of Isotope 2 )x(relative Abundance 2 )) ((0.9326)x(39)) + ((0.0001)x(40)) + ((0.0673)x(41)) = 39.1347 amu

Today s Agenda Question of the day: What is radioactivity? Radioisotopes Types of decay Writing Reactions Homework: Ch 4: 80, 82, 83, 85, 86, 88 Due tomorrow!
Radioactivity emit radiation Nuclear reactions change an element into a new element!! Lots of energy involved! Unlike a chemical reaction because we are doing more than rearranging we CHANGE the identity. UNSTABLE nuclei are unhappy and lose energy by emitting radiation radioactive decay. They form STABLE atoms of a different element.
Radioisotopes Isotopes of atoms with unstable nuclei. Undergo radioactive decay to attain stability. Emit 3 types of radiation alpha, beta, gamma,

Penetrating Power Least Alpha particles most mass and charge. Isotopic mass 4 2 He 2+ Beta particles less mass (only the mass of an electron) and a neg charge. Most Gamma rays have no mass and no charge.

In the Nucleus Radioactive decay transmutation Atomic # is altered = identity of element changed Nucleons + + + Strong nuclear force between all nucleons. Repulsive force between 2 protons (electrostatic). Neutron attraction have to overcome the repulsive forces as atomic # increases more neutrons needed for stabilization!! All nuclei with more than 82 protons are radioactive!
Low atomic # s have a 1:1 neutron to proton ratio 4 He 2 High atomic # s are stabilized by a 1.5:1 ratio 200 Hg 80 If atom is not in band (belt) of stability it undergoes radioactive decay to get there!

Kr is used in indicator lights of appliances. If a refrigerator light contains 2.0 mg of Kr-85, after 33 years, how much is left? N =? N 0 = 2 mg n = 33 years/11 years (years that have passed/half life)

Half Life Practice The half life of Ra-222 is 3.8 days. How much is left of a 10 mg sample after 15.2 days? N = N 0 (½) n N = 10mg (½) (15.2/3.8) N = 10mg (½) 4 N = 10mg (1/16) N = 0.625mg
Half Life Practice Bandages can be sterilized by exposure to gamma radiation from cobalt-60, which has a half life of 5.27 years. How much of a sample of cobalt-60 did we start with if after 10.54 years we have 0.75 mg? N = N 0 (½) n 0.75 mg = N 0 (½) 26.35/5.27 0.75 mg = N 0 (½) 5
Half Life Calculations Do the problem intuitively Think about how many half lives have passed and just do the math! 26.35 years/5.27 years in half life = five half lives Multiply 0.75 mg by 2 five times 0.75 mg x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24 mg
