Modern Atomic Theory 1. All matter is composed of atoms. ATOM: Basic unit of an element that retains all the element's chemical properties. ELEMENT: A substance that contains one type of atom. For example: 2. An atom is not the smallest particle of matter, but it is the smallest that retains the chemical properties of an element. 3. Atoms of an element are identical in size, average mass, and chemical properties. THUS, every element is unique in the above characteristics. 4. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed, but they can be combined or rearranged through a chemical reaction. MOLECULE: A combination of two or more atoms. Examples: COMPOUND: A combination of two or more atoms of different elements in a precise proportion by mass. Examples: 6
3 True or False. Elements are made up of atoms. True False 7
4 Which of the following could be called a molecule? A H2O (water) B NaCl (table salt) C CaCl2 (calcium chloride) D O2 (oxygen) E All of the above 8
5 Which of the following would NOT be a compound? A H2O (water) B NaCl (table salt) C CaCl2 (calcium chloride) D O2 (oxygen) E All of the above are compounds. 9
Subatomic Particles Every atom is built of the same 3 subatomic particles, just in different quantities. Protons The number of protons in an atom determines the identity and the chemical properties of an atom. The number of protons = the atomic number Neutrons The number of neutrons can vary and will affect the mass, but not the identity, of an atom. MASS NUMBER: Number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope. ISOTOPE: Atom of an element which has a different mass number. Example: Carbon 11, Carbon 12, Carbon 13, Carbon 14, Carbon 15 http://www.chemicalelements.com/show/mass.html One more way to write an isotope = symbolic isotope Superscript = mass number (P+N) Subscript = atomic number (P) Beside the elemental symbol Examples: 10
Electrons Electrically neutral atom means the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. IONS: Number of protons and electrons is not equal. Ions with a negative charge (anions) = more electrons than protons (addition of electrons) Ions with a positive charge (cations) = less electrons than protons (loss of electrons) Structurally Electrons move in high speed "shells/clouds", which is most of the volume, but none of the mass. 11

Model Isotopes 1. Calculate percent abundance of each group of pennies (isotopes). 2. Determine mass contribution to the overall atomic mass. 2a. Add the mass contributions together to obtain the atomic mass of the 'penny'. 3. Would the atomic mass be different if you received another bag with a different mix of pennies? 4. Why did we measure 10 pennies at once instead of just one? 13
How would you calculate your grade in this class if Skyward did not do it for you? 1. Percents in each category. 2. Change those percents to decimals. 3. Points in each category. 4. Put the equation together and solve for your percent in the class. 14
4: Calculating Average Atomic Mass WS 15
16
Mass number on periodic table with decimal = Atomic mass Atomic mass on the periodic table a weighted average of the different naturally occurring isotopes of an element. How to calculate this? Atomic mass = (percent of isotope 1) x (isotope 1 mass) + (percent of isotope 2) x (isotope 2 mass) +... Example problem: 1. Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes. 78.70% of Magnesium atoms exist as Magnesium 24 (23.9850 g/mol), 10.03% exist as Magnesium 25 (24.9858 g/mol) and 11.17% exist as Magnesium 26 (25.9826 g/ mol). What is the average atomic mass of Magnesium? 2. Calculate the average atomic mass of this unknown element with two known isotopes: Isotope 1: Mass 34.97 Frequency 75.77% Isotope 2: Mass 36.97 Frequency 24.23% Then, use your periodic table to name the unknown element. 17
