Atomic Structure

Law of Conservation of Mass
• Mass can be neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
• The total mass of the products is the same as the total mass of reactants.
© 2003 Mark S. Davis
Law of Constant Composition
• Water is water, no matter where you get it; H2O is H2O
• The elements in a compound are present in a fixed and exact proportion regardless of the source.
© 2003 Mark S. Davis
Percent Composition
• Percent by mass of an element in a compound.– I.e. water

Practice
• Determine the percent composition of.

Dalton’s Theory• All matter is composed of atoms.• The atoms of any one element are
identical.• Atoms of different elements have
different masses.• Compounds are atoms combined with
other atoms.• In reactions, atoms are exchanged to
form new compounds.

Atomic masses
• Relative.
• Based on carbon-12.
• Isotopes.
• Mass numbers on Table reflect abundance of isotopes.

Practice
• Suppose in one crate there were 4500. g of oranges weighing 150. g each. How many oranges are in the crate?

Isotopes
• Identified by mass number
• C-12, C-13
• Alternate notation– Mass number above (superscript)– Atomic number below (subscript)

Azimuthal Quantum Number
• The second quantum number
• Tells you the 3-D region in which you find electrons (orbital)
• Symbolized by l

Magnetic Quantum Number
• The third number
• Tells you the orientation of the orbital in 3-D space
© 2003 Mark S. Davis
Spin Quantum Number
• Final quantum number
• Tells you in which direction the electron spins
• Electrons behave like little magnets (spin gives magnetism)
• Value of + or – ½ or…

Pauli Exclusion Principal
• No more than two electrons per orbital
© 2003 Mark S. Davis
Hund’s Rule
• Electrons (little magnets) repel each other if they have the same spin
