2. 3-1 Early Atomic Theory
Do Not need in notes
Atoms are so small they cannot be observed directly. Scientists could use only experimental data to help describe the atom.
Around 400 B.C., Democritus (a Greek philosopher) suggested that the world was made of two things - empty space and tiny particles called atoms.
During the 1800's, a French Chemist (Antoine Lavoisier) discovered that chemical "changes" occurring in a closed system - the mass after a chemical change equaled the mass before the chemical change.
He proposed that, in ordinary chemical reactions, matter can be changed in many ways, but it cannot be created or destroyed (Law of Conservation of Mass).
Work by another French Chemist, Joseph Proust, had observed that specific substances always contain elements in the same ratio by mass (Law of Definite Proportions.)

3. Foundations of Atomic Theory
Law of Definite Proportions: The elements composing a compound are always found in the same ratio by mass.
Law of Multiple Proportions: The masses of one element that combine with a fixed amount of another element to form more than one compound are in the ratio of small whole numbers. Example CO, CO2

4. Dalton was the founder of Atomic Theory.
For example: Oxygen can combine with Carbon to form Carbon Monoxide, CO, or form Carbon Dioxide, CO2.

Dalton was the founder of Atomic Theory.

5. Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.
Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds.
In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.

6. Modern Atomic Theory
Element have a characteristic average mass which is unique to that element.
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions!
All matter is composed of atoms
Atoms of any one element differ in properties from atoms of another element

7. Section 3-2
Atom- the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element.
Nucleus- is the positively charges, dense central portion of the atom that contains nearly all of its mass but takes up only an insignificant fraction of its volume.

8. Subatomic Particles Electrons e-
Negatively charged particles found around the nucleus in shells, energy level or electron clouds
Protons p+
Positively charged particles. Found in the nucleus
Neutrons N
No charge. Found in the nucleus.

9. The Atomic Scale
Most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus (protons and neutrons)
Electrons are found outside of the nucleus (the electron cloud) e- have very tiny mass.
Most of the volume of the atom is empty space

12. Discovery of the Electron

Discovery of the Electron
In 1897, J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube to deduce the presence of a negatively charged particle.
Cathode ray tubes pass electricity through a gas that is contained at a very low pressure.

13. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1906 for his "discovery" of the first sub-atomic particle; the electron. This discovery strongly implied that Dalton was wrong and that the atom was not the smallest particle of matter. It looked as if the atom could be broken down into even smaller pieces, and to Thomson these smaller pieces were his negatively charged electrons.

14. Conclusions from the Study of the Electron
Do NOT need in NOTES
Conclusions from the Study of the Electron
Cathode rays have identical properties regardless of the element used to produce them. All elements must contain identically charged electrons.
Atoms are neutral, so there must be positive particles in the atom to balance the negative charge of the electrons
Electrons have so little mass that atoms must contain other particles that account for most of the mass

15. Thomson’s Atomic Model
Do NOT need in NOTES
Thomson’s Atomic Model
Thomson believed that the electrons were like plums embedded in a positively charged “pudding,” thus it was called the “plum pudding” model.

Rutherford’s Findings

A few particles were deflected
VERY FEW were greatly deflected
Conclusions:
The nucleus is small
The nucleus is dense
The nucleus is positively charged

18. Section 3-3
Atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element.
The number of protons = the number of electrons 6 C

19. Mass Number
Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope.
Mass # = p+ + n
SOooo the number of Neutrons =
n= Mass # - p+

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different masses. (number of neutrons)
