Size of an atom

How big is a carbon atom?

stearic acid monolayer

1% stearic acid solution

Modelling a cylinder V = πr2h

Why are we uncertain about the result?

Percentage uncertainties: How much do we know what we don’t know?

percentage uncertainty = uncertainty/value x 100

for example 20±2cm

% uncertainty = 2/20 x 100 = 10%

What other factors affect how accurate your result is?

Factor affecting accuracy Does it make the final result higher or lower?

How is an atom structured?

Atomic structure PEN

ChargeProton charge = 1.602176565 × 10−19 CNeutron charge = 0Electron charge = −1.602176565 × 10−19C

MassProton mass = 1.67262158 × 10-27 kgNeutron mass = 1.674927352 × 10−27 kgElectron mass = 9.10938291 × 10−31kg

Simpler units

relative charge proton = +1

electron = -1

relative mass proton = 1.007 u (unified atomic mass unit)

neutron = 1.008 u

electron = 0.000 5485 u

Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in the nucleus

Mass number (A) is the number of nucleons (protons + neutrons)

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons (and a different mass number)

LiMass number 7

Atomic number 3

Atomic mass (atomic weight)
