INSIDE AN ATOM

Structure of an Atom

An atom is the smallest part of an element.

Scientists know atoms are made up of even smaller particles.

READ page 50 -51 in the book. Stop at the checkpoint. Answer the checkpoint at the top of your notes!

Structure of an Atom

The nucleus is the tiny, central core of an atom. It contains protons and

neutrons. Protons have a positive electric

charge. (+) Neutrons have no charge; they

are neutral.

Electrons move in the space around the outside of the nucleus. Electrons are very energetic. They move in all directions Have a negative charge. (-)

•A proton is almost 2,000 times as massive as an electron.•Neutrons have about the same mass as protons.

Structure of an Atom

In an atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. The total positive charge and

negative charge balance making the atom neutral.

The number of neutrons may be the same, but not always.

Count the number of electrons and protons in the rings on the atoms to the left.

What do you notice about the number of protons and electrons in an atom?

Test Your Knowledge

How many protons would be in the nucleus of these atoms? Write your answer in your notes.

Did you say 6 and 18? Great Job!

???? ????

Make Your Own Nucleus

Use the green and orange circles to represent the protons and neutrons of an atom.

The atomic # is equal to the number of protons in an atoms nucleus.

Using the neutron and proton circles, on your desk make a nucleus for Carbon (atomic # is 6 and there are 6 neutrons) Calcium (atomic # is 20 and there are 21

neutrons) Aluminum (atomic # is 13 and there are 14

neutrons)

Draw ONE of the above models in your notes!

Electrons in an Atom

Electrons move around the nucleus so fast it is impossible to know where any electron is at any particular time.

You can think of the space around the nucleus as a “cloud” of negatively charged electrons.

Atom Mass and Volume

Most of an atom’s mass comes from its protons and neutrons.

Most of an atom’s volume is the large space in which the electrons move.

Valence Electrons

An atom’s electrons are not all the same distance from the nucleus.

The electrons that are farthest away from the nucleus and are involved in chemical reactions valence electrons. Only valence electrons are

involved in chemical bonding. 8 is the highest possible

number of valence electrons.

Make Your Own Atom

Now try to create a model of a complete atom using the electrons, neutrons and proton circles. Nitrogen (atomic # is 7 and there are 7 neutrons) Sulfur (atomic # is 16 and there are 16 neutrons) Sodium (atomic # is 11 and there are 12 neutrons)

Remember There should be the same number of protons and

electrons. The protons and neutrons go in the nucleus. The electrons circle in “clouds” or “shells” a far

distances from the nucleus.

Draw ONE of the above models in your notes

How many valence electrons are in this Carbon atom?

Valence Electrons

A way to show the number of valence electrons that an atom has is an electron dot diagram. It includes the element symbol surrounded

by dots. Each dot stands for one valence electron.

Let’s Practice

Draw a valence electron diagram for the following elements Helium He (2 valence electrons) Oxygen O (6 valence electrons) Aluminum Al (3 valence electrons) Argon Ar (8 valence electrons) Nitrogen N (5 valence electrons)

Why Atoms Form Bonds

A neutral atom never has more than 8 valence electrons.

Most kinds of atoms have fewer. 2 things happen when atoms form

bonds: The number of valence electrons increases

to a total of 8. All the valence electrons are given up.

Why Atoms Form Bonds

When atoms end up 8 or 0 valence electrons, they become less reactive. (Chemically Stable.)

Why Atoms Form Bonds

A chemical bond forms between 2 atoms when valence electrons move between them.

Electrons may be transferred from one atom to another, or they may be shared between the atoms. Either way, the atoms become bonded Reactions occur when atoms are bonded or

bonds are broken.

Models of Atoms

Dalton Model: 1808 Dalton explained that each element is

made of small atoms. Dalton imagined atoms as tiny, solid

balls with different elements have atoms of different mass.

Models of Atoms

Thomson Model: 1897 Thomson suggested that an atom is a

positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it.

His model was described as looking like a muffin with berries scattered throughout.

Models of Atoms

Nagaoka Model: 1904 Japanese physicist, Nagaoka, proposed a

model of an atom that had a large sphere in the center with a positive charge.

His model showed the electrons revolving around the sphere like the sun.

Models of Atoms

Rutherford Model: 1911 Rutherford concluded that the atom is

most empty space. Electrons orbit randomly around a small,

positively charged nucleus.

Models of Atoms

Bohr Model: 1913 Bohr determined that electrons aren’t

randomly located around the nucleus. This model showed electrons moving in

specific layers, or shells. Bohr stated that atoms absorb or give off

energy when electrons move from one shell to another.

Bohr Model

Models of Atoms

Chadwick Model: 1932 Chadwick discovered the neutron, a

particle having the same mass as the proton but with no electrical charge.

The existence of the neutron explained why atoms were heavier than the total mass of their protons and neutrons.

Models of Atoms

Modern Model: 1920’s-Present The current model of an atom came from

the work of many scientists from the 1920’s-present.

It shows the electrons forming a negatively charged cloud around the nucleus.

Quantum Model (currently accepted)
