S.MORRIS 2006

Study of matter- 2000 years ago!!Aristotle and Democritus were 2 Greek philosophers who gave us some basic ideas. Aristotle- four elements- Earth, air, fire, water!!Democritus- if you keep cutting matter into smaller pieces, you can eventually cut no more- this INDESTRUCTIBLE INDIVISIBLE piece is called ATOMOS (meaning indivisible in Greek)

HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM

John “4 Good Ideas” DALTON

Matter is made up of tiny spheres.

Dalton named them:ATOMSATOMS (atomos term

given by Democritus)

Dalton’s 5 ideas about “ATOMS”:

1. Everything is made of atoms

2. All atoms of the same element are identical

3. Atoms of different elements are different

4. Atoms can team up to make compounds

5. Atoms can’t be broken into smaller parts

HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM

Joseph “I shall name you ELECTRON!!” Thomson

Found that atoms could

sometimes eject a really

small negative particle

which he called anELECTRONELECTRON

JUST LISTEN: JT’s Experiment• Put + and –

plates near “laser” and it was attracted to the positive.

• What charge was the stream of the laser?

Thought atoms were filled with a positively

charge goo that balanced the electron’s

negative charge (wrong!)

like plums surrounded by pudding

Thomson’s (wrong) “PLUM PUDDING” MODEL IDEA:

Ernest “IT’S A NUCLEUS!” Rutherford

Shot helium atoms at a piece of

gold foil which was a few atoms

thick.

About 1 in 10,000 bounced off

something in the gold foil!

Ernest “It’s a nucleus!” Rutherford

gold foil

helium nuclei

A few of the helium atoms bounced off

something.

helium nuclei

If the “Plum Pudding” model were true.

The actual result: some bounced back like they hit something solid!

Gold foil!

“Nucleus” Rutherford’s gold foil evidence

showed him atoms have a nucleus in the

center.

He determined that the nucleus had a

positive charge, and that the negative

electrons were attracted to the positive

nucleus.

However, this was not the end of the story…

Niels “Orbits” Bohr

• Bohr figured out that the electrons were

in orbits (like planets orbiting the sun).

• Each orbit holds a set number of

electrons.

•Noticed that elements absorbed and emitted the same colors.

•Concluded electrons absorb energy to “jump” up levels and lose the same energy when they “fall” back down.

Bohr’s thinking

James “I shall call you NEUTRON!” Chadwick • Shot radiation into wax. Saw:

1) Radiation didn’t bend toward + or

– plates, so neutrons must have

no charge (neutral).

2) The radiation made atoms eject a

proton—so this particle must

have mass too!

• He named the particle the

NEUTRON.

Just Listen: Jimmy’s Experiment

• Because the radiation forced

protons out of the atoms, the

radiation was made of heavy

particles! Neutrons have

mass!

The Current Model of the Atom• Electron Cloud Model:

– Nucleus: p+ and no

– Electron cloud: surrounded by e- that move so fast they look like a blur (think fan blades)

•E- are more likely found closer rather than farther away

Guiding questions:

• Who discovered which parts of the atom?

• In what order were the things discovered?

Guiding Questions

• What are the three parts of the atom?

• Where are the subatomic particles located?

• What are the charges of the subatomic particles?

• What are the masses of the subatomic particles?

• Different amounts of protons change what atom it is.

Purpose of Subatomic Particles

• Different amounts of neutrons make atoms unstable and radioactive (they shoot particles out!)

– Isotopes: atoms with different amounts of neutrons.

• Different amounts of electrons make atoms have different charges.

– Ions: atoms with a charge (+ or -)

Atoms are neutral

ATOMS ARE NEUTRAL

• If atoms are neutral, the number of positive protons must be ___?___ the number of negative electrons

ATOMS ARE NEUTRAL!!!!

Atomic Number

number of protons = number of electrons.

Why??

Mr. Addem Proneumass

Get it??? Add them…Addem….

Pro + Neu = Mass

The Atomic Mass• The Atomic Mass must be rounded because

there are different isotopes of every atom.• Every isotope has a different mass and is

present in different amounts on the earth.• To calculate the atomic mass, we consider

how much each isotope weighs and which form is most common on the earth.– Ex: Atomic Mass of Boron = 10.81 AMU. – How many neutrons on average?

Let’s Label our Periodic Table!• Find hydrogen.

• Circle the atomic number.

• Put a rectangle around the atomic mass.

partner.

• Create an answer key to give to me (name, A.M., A.N., P, e-, N for each element)

Assigned partner has to find:

• The element name

• Atomic Mass for each element

• Atomic Number for each element

• P, N, and e-

GUIDING QUESTIONS

• How is atomic mass calculated?How do you get the atomic number?

• Why must the number of protons and electrons be equal?

ATOMIC STRUCTUREATOMIC STRUCTURE

Electrons are arranged in Energy

Levels (a.k.a Shells/Orbits) around the

nucleus (Bohr’s idea!)

•1st shell max of 2 electrons

•2nd shell max of 8 electrons

•3rd shell max of 8 electrons

(Sneak Preview)

• The electrons in the outermost shell are called “valence electrons” and are super important for determining how atoms bond.

• Way more important than regular electrons.

•WAY MORE.
