A History of the Atom as brief as possible Democritus – matter

can be divided – coined ‘atom’

Aristotle – matter is continuous

Jump to 1700’s Mendeleev – organized

periodic table Dalton – measured pure

substances

Rutherford – discovered nucleus

Bohr – found pattern with atomic number

Schrodinger – movement of electrons

Planck and Heisenberg – nuclear chemistry

What the Heck? Atom comes from the Greek word

meaning indivisible.

Today we know that what we once knew as the atom, the smallest particle of life, is in fact divisible and contains smaller particles The Electron, Proton and Neutron

In an Atom: Protons and

Neutrons are in the Nucleus

Electrons are in the Electron cloud or energy levels.

In the Atom: Nucleus is positively

charged in the center of the atom

Electron cloud is negatively charged area surrounding the nucleus

To Illustrate

Dalton’s Laws

Still followed to this day: Law of conservation of mass: matter cannot

be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical changes

Law of definite composition: a chemical compound contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions regardless of the size of the sample or the source

Page 8: The ATOM. A History of the Atom as brief as possible Democritus – matter can be divided – coined ‘atom’ Aristotle – matter is continuous Jump to 1700’s

Modern Atomic Theory 1) All Matter is made up of very small particles

called atoms 2) Atoms of the same element have the same

chemical properties 3) While individual atoms of a given element

may not all have the same mass any sample of the element will have a definite average mass that is characteristic.

Modern Atomic Theory Cont.

4) Compounds are formed whenever two or more elements unite, with each atom loosing its characteristic properties as a result of the combination

5) Atoms are not subdivided in physical or chemical reactions

Protons, Neutrons and Electrons

Atomic Number = # of protons = # of Electrons Atomic weight = # of protons + # of neutrons

Page 11: The ATOM. A History of the Atom as brief as possible Democritus – matter can be divided – coined ‘atom’ Aristotle – matter is continuous Jump to 1700’s

So if you had an atom of Lead

Atomic Number of lead = 82 Protons = 82 Electrons = 82

Atomic Mass of Silicon = 207.2 Neutrons = Mass-Protons = 207.2 - 82 =

125

Masses of Subatomic Particles Proton - 1.67265 x 10-24 g

Neutron - 1.67495 x 10-24 g

Electron - 9.10953 x 10-28 g

Electrons are 10,000 times smaller than Protons and Neutrons!

Isotope

Isotope - atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Number of protons make up the identity of the atom. I.E. anything with 6 protons is Carbon.

Page 15: The ATOM. A History of the Atom as brief as possible Democritus – matter can be divided – coined ‘atom’ Aristotle – matter is continuous Jump to 1700’s

And why is the mass number a decimal? Carbon: (2 natural isotopes)

Carbon - 12 - • (total weight = 12)• (98.89 percent of Carbon atoms)

Carbon - 13• (total weight = 13)• (1.11 percent of Carbon atoms)

(12 x .9889)+(13 x .0111) = 12.01 the atomic mass of Carbon

Page 16: The ATOM. A History of the Atom as brief as possible Democritus – matter can be divided – coined ‘atom’ Aristotle – matter is continuous Jump to 1700’s

Where the heck did that equation come from?

(12 x .9889) + (13 x .0111) = 12.01

(12 x .9889) the weight of Carbon - 12 times the percent of Carbon - 12

(13 x .0111) the weight of Carbon - 13 times the percent of Carbon - 13

Try it yourself:

Neon - 22 (Total weight = 22) (10% of Neon)

Neon - 20 (Total weight = 20) (90% of Neon)

Once More:

Hf - 176 = 5% Hf - 177 = 19% Hf - 178 = 27% Hf - 179 = 14% Hf - 180 = 35%
