Atomic Theory: Late 19 th Century Atomic theory—everything is made of atoms—generally accepted (thanks to Ludwig Boltzman, and others). Mendeleev/periodic table—accepted, but the basis for periodic behavior not understood What are atoms made of? How are they held together? 5
6 Electrical behavior: “+” attracts “-” but like charges repel Atoms must contain smaller sub-units. Radioactive material Beam of , , and Electrically charged plates β-particles (“–”) Gamma ray (γ) No charge, no deflection α-particle (“+” ) Heavier, deflected less than β – + Alpha particle 2 n 0 + 2p + Beta particel electron (e-) Gamma photon
Electric and magnetic fields deflect the beam. Gives mass/charge of e - = −5.60 x g/C Coulomb (C) = SI unit of charge Thomson (1897) discovered the e - : 7 “Cathode rays” Travel from cathode (-) to anode (+). Negative charge (e − ). Emitted by cathode metal atoms. fluorescent screen – high voltage + cathode ray

Millikan (1911) studied electrically-charged oil drops. 9
Charge on each droplet was: n (−1.60 x C) with n = 1, 2, 3,… n (e - charge) Modern value = − x C. = −1 “atomic units”. These experiments give: 10 Modern value = x g = (-1.60 x C)(-5.60 x g/C) = 8.96 x g m e = charge x mass charge
Atoms gain a positive charge when e - are lost. 11 Implies a positive fundamental particle. Hydrogen ions had the lowest mass. Hydrogen nuclei assumed to have “unit mass” protonsCalled protons. Modern science: m p = x g m p ≈ 1800 x m e. Charge = -1 x (e - charge). = x C = +1 atomic units
How were p + and e - arranged? 12 Thompson: Ball of uniform positive charge, with small negative dots (e - ) stuck in it. The “plum-pudding” model Rutherford (former Thompson graduate student) fired α-particles at thin metal foils. Expected them to pass through with minor deflections.

Different Models of the Atom: different scattering results α particles “Plum pudding model” + and – charges evenly distrubted low, uniform density of matter No back scattering Rutherford’s explanation of results: Small regions of very high density + charge in the dense regions - Charges in region around it From wikipedia 14
Some Large Deflections were osbserved α particles Rutherford “It was about as credible as if you had fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of paper and it came back and hit you.” 15
≈10,000 times smaller diameter than the entire atom. e - occupy the remaining space. α particles nucleus Most of the mass and all “+” charge is concentrated in a small core, the nucleus. 16

Atomic mass > mass of all p + and e - in an atom. Rutherford proposed a neutral particle. 21 m n ≈ m p (0.1% larger). m n = x g. Present in all atoms (except ‘normal’ H). neutrons Chadwick (1932) fired -particles at Be atoms. Neutral particles, neutrons, were ejected:
~ meters = 1 angstrom (Å) _ m Smeared out electron charge cloud Protons and neutrons 22
Nucleus Contains p + and n 0 Most of the atomic mass. Small (~10,000x smaller diameter than the atom). Positive (each p + has +1 charge). Small light particles surrounding the nucleus. Occupy most of the volume. Charge = -1. Atoms are neutral. Number of e − = Number of p + Electrons 23
24 A neutron can decay into a proton and electron: n 0 p + + e - This can cause decay of a radioactive element, e.g., 14 6 C # of p + + n 0 Atomic No. (# e- = # p + Elemental symbol (carbon) Carbon with 6 protons and 8 neutrons is unstable (radioactive) Carbon with 6 protons and 6 neutrons is stable (non-radioactive 14 6 C 12 6 C radioctivestable
25 An atom of 14 C can undergo decay to N as a neutron turns into a proton + an emitted electron 14 6 C 7 N + e- 1 p + 1 n 0 + an electron (emitted)
Same element - same number of p + 26 Atomic number Atomic number (Z) = number of p + 1 amu = x g ParticleMass Mass Charge (g) (amu) (atomic units) e − x −1 p x n x Atomic mass unit (amu) = (mass of C atom) that contains 6 p + and 6 n
Isotopes same element Atoms of the same element with different A. equal numbers of p + different numbers of n 0 27 deuterium (D) tritium (T) Hydrogen isotopes:H1 p +, 0 n H1 p +, 1 n H1 p +, 2 n 0
ISOTOPES: SAME Element, Different numbers of neutrons C 12 C 14 Carbon: atomic no. = 6 6 protons in the nucleus+ 6 electrons Atomic mass = 12 amu (12 gr/mole) Therefore, 6 protons + 6 neutrons Atomic mass = 14 amu Therefore, 6 protons+ 8 neutrons 28

Isotopes and Moles (more on this later) and isotope abundance: 1 mole = 6.02 x of anything! 1 mole of atoms = 6.02 x atoms Molar Mass (in grams) = average atomic mass (in amu) 1 mole of H atoms = gr. Why not gr?? most atoms are 1 H, but some are 2 H (deuterium) 30
Average atomic mass of H = amu 100 atoms have a mass of amu # of 2 H atoms = n # of 1 H atoms = 100 –n (assume these are the only two isotopes that matter) Mass of 100 atoms = n x (100-n) x = amu 2n n = n = 0.8 So, out of every 100 atoms, have H atoms Out of every 1000 atoms, have 8 2 H atoms Natural abundance of “heavy hydrogen (deuterium) is then 0.8% 31
Most elements occur as a mixture of isotopes. 32 Magnesium is a mixture of: 24 Mg 25 Mg 26 Mg number of p number of n mass/ amu
percent abundance For most elements, the percent abundance of its isotopes are constant (everywhere on earth). The periodic table lists an average atomic weight. 33 Example Boron occurs as a mixture of 2 isotopes, 10 B and 11 B. The abundance of 10 B is 19.91%. Calculate the atomic weight of boron.
34 Atomic weight for B = amu = amu Atomic mass = Σ (fractional abundance)(isotope mass) ( amu) = amu 11 B ( amu) 10 B = amu % abundance of 11 B = 100% % = 80.09% Boron occurs as a mixture of 2 isotopes, 10 B and 11 B. The abundance of 10 B is 19.91%. Calculate the atomic weight of boron.

A green pea has a ¼-inch diameter. 48 peas/foot. (48) 3 / ft 3 ≈ 1 x 10 5 peas/ft 3. V of 1 mol ≈ (6.0 x peas)/(1x 10 5 peas/ft 3 ) ≈ 6.0 x ft 3 37 height = V / area, 1 mol would cover the U.S. to: U.S. surface area = 3.0 x 10 6 mi 2 = 8.4 x ft x ft x ft 2 =7.1 x 10 4 ft = 14 miles !
1 mole of an atom = atomic weight in grams Xe atom has mass = amu 1 mol of Xe atoms has mass = g and There are x atoms in 1 mol of He and 1 mol of Xe – but they have different masses. 1 He atom has mass = amu 1 mol of He has mass = g … 1 dozen eggs is much heavier than 1 dozen peas!
