5 The Atom The smallest component of an element.
So if there are103 different elements there are 103 different types of atoms. Basic unit of all matter. Matter is anything that has mass and volume.

6 Subatomic Particles Nucleons located in Protons the Nucleus of an atom
Neutrons Electrons Mass electron mass = × kg neutron mass = × kg proton mass = × kg amu Atomic mass unit 1 amu = mass of 1 proton 1 amu = mass of 1 neutron Easier for scientists to write in terms of amu Mass of an electron is approximately 1/1836 of the mass of a proton or 1/1836 th of an amu.

8 Atomic Structure Theories
Dalton atoms are the basic units of matter JJ Thompson Plum pudding where the raisin are electrons Rutherford Atoms are mostly empty space Bohr Electrons are located in specific orbits around the nucleus Wave Mechanical Model Electrons exist in “clouds” around the nucleus Pg 66-69

9 Dalton Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element have identical properties. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine with one another in small whole numbers. The relative numbers and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.

10 Dalton’s Elements in 1805

11 JJ Thompson 1903 Atom can be divided into parts. One of which is an electron. These are negatively charged particles embedded in a positively charged atom. Raisins embedded in plum pudding

12 Rutherford An atom contains a dense positively charged nucleus.
1909 An atom contains a dense positively charged nucleus. The rest of the atom is mostly empty space where the electrons are. Determined this theory after performing the gold-foil experiment.

13 Rutherford’s Gold-foil Experiment
Rutherford directed alpha particles (radioactive source) which are positively charged and smaller than atoms at a thin piece of gold foil. He expected all the alpha particles to pass through (detected by the fluorescent screen) with just a few being slightly defected.

14 Rutherford’s Gold-foil Experiment
Results: Most of the particles did go straight through (atoms are mostly empty space). A few were slightly deflected. BUT, some were GREATLY deflected. They were strongly repelled by a dense, positive, central core and bounced back

15 Bohr Electrons are located in specific orbits around the nucleus.
1913 Electrons are located in specific orbits around the nucleus. Each electron must contain a certain amount of energy to stay in its orbit. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it contains. Planetary Model Pg 80-82

16 Wave – Mechanical Model
Previously matter was considered a particle and energy was considered a wave. This current model predicts that matter and energy can act like waves or particles – Dual Nature Concept In this model (aka - the electron cloud model), the electrons are in orbitals, which are defined as regions of the most probable electron location. Pg ( )

17 Bohr’s Model versus the Wave – Mechanical Model
The difference is in the description of electron location around the nucleus. Bohr suggested well defined, fixed orbits. The wave-mechanical model shows electrons located around the nucleus in orbitals. An orbital is a region in which an electron with a certain amount of energy is most likely to be located (like a cloud).

18 Rutherford’s Ghost – 2:30 min
Electron in motion – wave mechanical model – 1 min – notice electrons don’t stay in a single path, more of a vibration cloud

19 The Nucleus Contains both protons and neutrons Similar in size
Protons are positively charged Neutrons are not charged, they’re neutral So overall charge of the nucleus is POSITIVE Pg ( )

20 Atomic Number Equals the number of protons in an atoms nucleus.
It identifies the element. It NEVER changes unless the element has changed. All atoms of Lithium will have 3 Protons.

21 Nucleus of atom like Nucleus inside of cell
Both contain information that is critical for identification Cell nucleus contains DNA that identifies the functions of that cell. Atomic nucleus contains a certain number of protons that identifies the element and its properties.

22 Mass Number Equals the number of Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus.
Does NOT identify the element. Li : mass # = 7 The # of neutrons an the nucleus can change thus mass # can change.

23 Isotopes Atoms of the same protons but with a different number of neutrons. The number of protons does NOT change.

24 Isotopes Review isotopes 31H = H31 =H3= H-3

25 126C 136C 146C The Element is __________
The number 6 refers to the # of ________ The numbers 12,13,14 refer to the # of _______ How many protons and neutrons are in the first isotope? How many protons and neutrons are in the second isotope? How many protons and neutrons are in the third isotope?

26 Atomic mass Decimal Average of all the isotopes that occur in nature.

27 Calculating Atomic Mass
Of all the naturally occurring Copper, 30.8% are atoms of Copper-65 and 69.2% of copper-63. What is the atomic mass of Cu? Step 1 - convert percentages into decimals 30.8/100 = .308 69.2/100 = .692

28 Step 2 – Calculate the contribution of each isotope to the atomic mass by multiplying the decimal percentage by the mass # for each isotope. 0.308 x 65 AMU = 20.2 AMU 0.692 x 63 AMU = AMU Step 3 – Add them together to get the weighted average for the atomic mass. 20.2 AMU AMU AMU

32 Electrons 101 Found in energy levels around the nucleus (orbitals according to the wave-mechanical model) Negatively charged Very, Very, Very small When atoms are neutral (no charge), protons = electrons, Na0. Can be gained or lost from the outer most energy level Valence electrons are found in the valence shell. These are responsible for most chemical reactions and in the formation of compounds. Every atom wants 8 valence electrons (unless it has only 1 energy level, then it wants only 2).

33 Valence Electrons In general, the number of valence electrons
affects the chemical properties of an element. Valence electron # = Group # of the periodic table.

34 unless it has only 1 energy level, then it wants only 2

35 In an effort to achieve an octet atoms becomes charged and IONS are formed.

36 Ion Types - Cations Sodium has 3 orbits (Bohr Model) The third orbit has 1 electron. To be more stable give away the only electron it has in the third orbit receive 7 more electrons from another atom in order for it to have 8 electrons on the outer orbit. Both processes would have sodium ending up with 8 electrons on its outer orbit. Giving away 1 electron is easier than receiving 7 electrons. Sodium will lose 1 electron which means that it now has 10 electrons and 11 protons. It has 1 less electron than proton so it’s charge is +1. Na --> Na+1 + 1e Cats are +

37 Ion Types - Anions Oxygen has 2 orbits (Bohr Model). The second orbit has 6 electrons. To be more stable give away all the 6 electrons on the second orbit receive 2 more electrons from another atom. Both processes will lead to oxygen having 8 electrons on its outer orbit. receiving 2 more electrons from another atoms is easier than giving away all its 6 electrons. Oxygen will receive 2 more electrons which means it now has 10 electrons and 8 protons. It has 2 more electrons than protons so it’s charge is -2. O + 2e --> O-2 + 2 e

50 Electrons 102 Each electron in an atom has its own distinct amount of energy. depending on their orbital Electrons in orbitals closer to the nucleus have less energy and are more stable Electrons in orbitals further from the nucleus have more energy and are less stable When all electrons in an atom are in their lowest possible energy level, the atom is at its ground state. The number of electrons found in each orbital when an atom is at the ground state can be found on the periodic table. This is the atoms electron configuration. Pg ( )

51 Phosphorus (P): 2-8-5 Ground State
P has 3 orbitals The first orbital closest to the nucleus contains 2 electrons. The second contains 8. The third contains 5. P has 5 valence electrons (the # of electrons in the outermost shell) 2-8-5 is the P atom’s electron configuration

52 Iron (Fe): 2-8-14-2 Ground State
Fe has 4 orbitals The first orbital closest to the nucleus contains 2 electrons. The second contains 8. The third contains 14. The fourth contains 2 Fe has 2 valence electrons (the # of electrons in the outermost shell) is the Fe atom’s electron configuration

53 Electrons ABSORB energy to become EXCITED
When an electron in an atom gains a specific amount of energy, the electron becomes excited and jumps to a higher energy level (orbital). The energy can come from outside sources like heat, light, electricity. Copper is absorbing energy from a Bunsen burner flame.

54 Phosphorus (P): 2-7-6 Excited State
The ground state configuration changes. But the total number of electrons stays the same. Ground state = 2-8-5 Total electrons = 15 Excited State = 2-7-6

55 Iron (Fe): 2-8-13-3 Excited State
Ground state = Total electrons = 26 Excited State =

56 Electrons EMIT energy to go back to the Ground State
After jumping to a higher level, the electron will very quickly return to its original level. The energy they previously absorbed is now released as infrared, ultraviolet, or visible light. This emitted energy can be used to identify an element. Copper emits blue light as its electrons return to the ground state.

58 = Electricity Ground State Absorption of energy Excited State
The amount of energy absorbed the amount of energy emitted =

59 Electromagnetic Spectrum
The energy released as the electron returns to the ground state has a certain wavelength. Every electron within an atom has a specific energy which when released will correspond with a specific wavelength.

60 Conservation of Energy
Energy can not be created or destroyed (but it can change form) SO The amount of energy absorbed by the electron energy emitted = Electric Pickle Demo
