1 Recap: Chemical and Physical Change Different states of a substance are different physical ways of packing its component particles A physical change is associated with a change of state. A chemical change involves changing one substance into another Physical properties are the properties that a substance shows by itself, without changing or interacting with another substance Chemical properties are the properties of a substance that result in the formation of a new substance

2 Structure of Atoms – History 1808 J DaltonAtomic Theory All matter consists of atoms - are tiny indivisible particles of an element that cannot be created or destroyed. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element. Atoms of an element are identical and are different from atoms of any other element.

3 Structure of Atoms 1897 J J Thomson studied cathode rays Negatively charged particles. All metals produced the same particles. ~ 1000 times lighter than a hydrogen atom Atoms are divisible! Cathode rays were later renamed electrons.

5 Structure of Atoms – History 1909 R A Millikanmeasured the charge of an electron 1.6 x C  m(e - ) = 9.1  kg Fig 2.6 Silberberg

6 Structure of Atoms – History 1909 E Rutherford

7 Structure of Atoms – History 1909 E Rutherford Atoms are mostly empty space occupied by electrons. All the positive charge and essentially all the mass lies in a tiny region in the centre – the nucleus. The nucleus is made of positively charged particle, protons, and uncharged neutrons.

8 Atomic Structure Symbol Relative mass Relative charge Protonp or p + 1+ Neutronn or n 0 10 Electrone or e - 1/1836– Protons and neutrons are also called nucleons.

9 Elements What determines the element type? How do atoms of different elements differ? The number of protons in the nucleus of the atoms. – This is the atomic number, Z. – Atomic number is also equal to the charge of the nucleus.

10 Atomic Symbol The atomic symbol, X, is uniquely related to the number of protons (atomic number, Z). e.g. 2 protons (Z = 2) = helium = He 8 protons (Z = 8) = oxygen = O 26 protons (Z = 26) = iron = Fe (ferrum) 92 protons (Z = 92) = uranium = U Atoms have no overall charge so the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons

11 Forces in Atoms Nucleons are held together by the Strong Nuclear Force – Only effective over very short distances – Strong enough to overcome the repulsion between the protons Silberberg

12 Structure of Atoms – History 1932 ChadwickThe nucleus is more than just protons – neutrons (uncharged). Overhead 14 Figure 2.8 Silberberg

13 Writing an Element Silberberg X Z A chemical symbol mass number: A = p + + n 0 atomic number: Z = p + = e -

14 Cations and Anions In atoms: number of protons = number of electrons = Z Atoms can gain electrons to form anions: e.g. Add 1 electrons to F gives F - Add 2 electrons to O gives O 2- Add 3 electrons to N gives N 3- Atoms can lose electrons to form cations: e.g. Take 1 electron from Na gives Na + Take 2 electrons from Mg gives Mg 2+ Take 3 electrons from Al gives Al 3+
