*Rutherford…Didn’t split the atom….….more like he chipped itBy bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles:
14N + α → 17O + proton.
This chipped a proton off (lowering the atomic number by one to produce oxygen).
Nb: he didn’t know he had protons as no-one knew about these, he detected hydrogen nuclei

* Reasons for the properties of metals
Metallic Bonds and Metallic Properties
- Metals are made up of closely packed cations rather than neutral atoms
- Valence electrons are moving and can drift freely from metal to metal
- Metallic bonds consist of the attraction between the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal ions
- Metals are good conductors of electrical currents because electrons can flow freely in them
- They are also malleable
- The reason for both of these is the mobility of the electrons
- The sea of valence electrons insulates the metal cations from one another

What do the numbers mean?
![Page 15: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Calculating number of subatomic particles-Number of protons: = the atomic number-Number of electrons: = number of protons-Number of neutrons: = mass number – atomic number
Example: Carbon-Number of protons = atomic number = 6-Number of electrons = number of protons = 6-Number of neutrons = mass number – atomic number = 12 – 6 = 6
Element symbol
Mass number
Atomic number
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have the same number of protons (+) and electrons (-)
!! In some periodic tables the mass number and atomic number are switched. Hint: the mass number is ALWAYS the larger number
Interpreting the Periodic Table
![Page 16: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Electron ConfigurationElectrons are arranged into ‘shells’ or ‘levels’Rules:• Shells are filled up in order from closest to nucleus• Shells are filled completely before starting the next shell
Shell Max. # of electrons
1st 2
2nd 8
3rd 8
4th 18
5th 18
Example: Magnesium has 12 electrons the electron arrangement would be: 2,8,2Why? Fill the 1st shell with 2 electrons, fill the 2nd with 8 and 2 left over to part fill the 3rd shell
![Page 17: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
*Isotopes• Isotopes are variants found in many chemical
elements. • They have different numbers of neutrons
compared to each other and they differ in weight because of this.
• Chemically they all behave alike, but some may be unstable and radioactive
• Examples: Hydrogen-1, Hydrogen-2, Carbon-14, Carbon 12, Uranium (many)
![Page 18: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
*Hydrogen Isotopes
p = 1e = 1n = 0
p = 1e = 1n = 1
p = 1e = 1n = 2
The extra neutrons increase the mass numberMost H in the universe is H-1, some is H-2 and H-3. To get a periodic table mass number we average ALL the hydrogen which is why the mass number on the table is more than 1 (it is 1.00794)
(H-1) (H-2) (H-3)

Ions & Ionic Bonding
![Page 22: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Neutral Atoms
Sodium atom (Na) Chlorine atom (Cl)11p & 11e 17p & 17eOverall charge: 0 Overall charge: 0e arrangement: 2,8,1 e arrangement: 2,8,7
Most atoms are because they want outer shells to be full = more stable
He, Ne, Ar... (the inert gases) refuse to react, their outer shells are full and they are (stable)
![Page 23: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Forming Ions
Sodium Atom… Chlorine Atom…Loses 1e (to make outer shell full) Gains 1e (to make outer shell full)Result: 11p and 10e Result: 17p and 18eOverall charge +1 Overall charge -1Result: Sodium ion Result: Chloride ion
Ions are charged atoms – they have charge because they have lost or gained electrons
![Page 24: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rules for Naming IonsMetal ions• Write the atomic name• Then write “ion”• Eg sodium becomes “sodium ion”• Transition metals (middle of table)can form more than one ion type. Roman numerals
indicate the charge• Eg copper (II) becomes Cu2+ (also gets a special name: cupric ion)Non metal ions (with one atom type)• Shorten the atomic name • Then write “-ide” suffix (ending)• Eg oxygen becomes “oxide” Non metal ions (with more than one atom type)• More complicated….• Usually end in –ite, -ate, ium or –ide• -ite, -ate contain oxygen• Egs NO3
- nitrate ion, CO32- SO4
2-
(you can work out easy metals and non metals using the periodic table and you will usually be given a table of ions when needed for the polyatomic ions)
![Page 25: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ionic Bonding - Ionic Compound• Opposite charges attract. • So, the Na+ ion and the Cl- ion attract • This attraction holds them together in an ionic
bond
Atoms are now, outer shells are now full = stable
![Page 26: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Compound Formulae #1Example: Calcium bromide
Calcium ion = Ca2+ Bromide ion = Br-
If you have one Ca2+ and one Br- charge will be +2 + -1= +1
The final compound must be neutral!
A second Br- needed to get an overall charge of 0Ca2+ Br- Br-
The formula is CaBr2
![Page 28: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Compound Formulae #2If all else fails: swap, drop & lose!
“swap the numbers over, drop them to the bottom, lose the charges”
Remember: don’t write the 1s (Li2O not Li2O1)simplify eg: Mg2O2 becomes MgO
![Page 29: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Compound Formulae #3Polyatomic ions (polyatomic = many atoms in the ion)
Example: Magnesium nitrateSodium ion = Mg2+ Nitrate ion = NO3
-
If you have one Mg2+ and one NO3- charge will be +1 + -1= +1
A second NO3- is needed to get an overall charge of 0
Mg2+ NO3- NO3
-
In the final formula we must write brackets around the two NO3-
to show that there is two of themie: Mg(NO3)2
Aka radical

Valence Electrons“the number of electrons in the outermost shell”These are the electrons that are available to form chemical bonds
Mg (electron arrangement 2,8,2 has two valance electrons)
Mg loses 2 electrons (to make its outer shell full) Now: 10 electronsIs now: magnesium ion, Mg2+Arrangement 2,8

Equations – Chemical or Symbol
Magnesium + oxygen magnesium oxide
Becomes:
Mg + O2 MgO
Must obey the usual rules for ions and compounds. Eg Mg2+ & O2- balance to become MgO
![Page 34: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Balanced Chemical Equations
Mg + O2 MgO
Mg + O2 2MgO
2Mg + O2 2MgO
1 Can’t change element type (we’re doing chemical reactions, not nuclear so same types of atoms must be on each side of the reaction) AND Can’t get something from nothing (the total numbers of atoms on each side of the reaction must be the same)
2 Problem as 2 x O on left and 1 x O on right. Can’t make MgO become MgO2 as that’s not magnesium oxide anymore!3 But can have extras of any whole molecule by putting numbers IN FRONT
4 For example, the red two fixes the oxygen problem (now two on each side, but now have a magnesium imbalance.
5 The green two fixes that and we now have the same number of each type of atom on both sides. The equation is balanced!
![Page 35: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Try balancing these:
The reaction of sodium in water (makes sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas)
Na + H2O -> NaOH + H2

Covalent Bonding
![Page 37: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Covalent Bonding – H2 Hydrogen Atom1p & 1e (needs one extra e to get full shell)
Two Hydrogen Atoms
One electron from each atom is shared by the other, forming one H2 molecule with one covalent bond
![Page 38: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Covalent Bonding• Non metal atoms tend to gain electrons rather
than lose them• They can form bonds by sharing their
electrons between them (to get full shells) this forms a covalent bond
![Page 39: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

O2
Also: CO2, CH4 (methane)

Ionic vs Molecular (covalent)
Ionic- Made of metal & non metal elements- Electrons donated
ExamplesSodium chlorideLithium fluoride
Molecular- Made of non metal elements only- Electrons shared
ExamplesNitrogen dioxideWater
! This is oversimplified somewhat. There is a spectrum between complete donation and complete shared! Molecule can mean one unit eg one molecule of NaCl (which is NOT molecular!)
![Page 41: Atoms… and other stuff!](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816780550346895ddc8ac1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Physical vs Chemical ChangesChemical- not easily reversed- new product(s) formed- reactants used up- often heat / light / sound /
fizzing occurs- electricity may be produced- *a precipitate may form- e.g. wood burning.
Physical- easily reversible- no new products, - often just a state
change- e.g. ice melting.
