John Dalton
matter is composed of
‘building blocks’
Dalton’s postulates
1. Elements are composed of small particles called atoms;atoms of an element are identical with same properties (mass)
2. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element; in a compound, the ratio of the number of atoms is an integer or fraction
LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTIONS
3. A chemical reaction involves separation and combination of atoms; atoms are neither created nor destroyed
an atom is the basic, undividable unit of any element
1. Law of definite proportions
2. Law of conservation of mass
in a chemical reaction
no gain or loss of mass is observed
unit of mass is g (gram) or kilogram (kg)
each atom has a constant mass
atomic mass – atomic weight
Structure of an Atom
subatomic particles
electrons
protons neutrons

electron,e 9.10939 × 10-31 kg -1.6022 × 10-19 C -1
m(p) / m(e) ≈ 1836
the atom’s positive charge is located in a small, dense central core ‘nucleus’
protons are a constituent of the nucleus
+ ++ +
+
1. mass of the nucleus constitutes most of the mass of the atom
2. the nucleus is positively charged and contains protons
3. the nucleus constitutes only about 1/1013 space of an atom
4. electrons are as clouds around the nucleus

(number of protons plus neutrons)
in an atom, the number of electrons and protons are identical (charge neutrality)

atomic mass unit (amu, u)
one atom of carbon-12 12 u (exactly)
we have to correlate u with kg
MOLE

How many atoms are in 10 kg of sodium?
1 mole sodium = 22.98977 g
6.023 x 1023 atoms = 22.98977 g
x atoms = 10,000 g

How heavy are 1 million gold atoms?
1 mole gold = 196.96654 g
6.023 x 1023 atoms = 196.96654 g
1,000,000 atoms = x g
x = 3.2 x 10-16 g = 0.32 fg
