Atomic Theory? The modern concept of the atom was born out of a series of theories and laws that were proposed in the 1700’s and 1800’s. It took many steps and evolutions to arrive at what we know about the atom today; it is worthwhile to look at the history of this evolution.
The Early Observations 1)Law of Definite Proportions chemical compounds always contain the same elements in the same proportions 2) Law of Multiple Proportions elements always combine in ratios of small whole numbers 3) Law of Conservation of Mass matter is never created nor destroyed
NO is a 1: 1 ratio NO 2 is a 1: 2 ratio Law of Multiple Proportions
Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1800’s) 1)All matter is composed of small particles called atoms. Still true 2) Atoms of a given elements are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties. True except mass can vary due to isotopes
Dalton’s Atomic Theory 3) Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds. Definite Composition 4) In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory 5) Atoms cannot be divided. Can divide into protons, neutrons, electrons, & quarks Atoms cannot be created or destroyed Conservation of Mass & Energy
Chemical Symbols • Shorthand name for an element • Watch how you write them ! Co = Cobalt CO = Carbon and Oxygen Ni = Nickel NI = Nitrogen and Iodine
Sub-atomic Particles - the important characteristics of these particles are their mass and charge. Names Symbol Charge Mass (amu) proton p+ +1 1. 0 neutron n 0 1. 0 electron e- -1 1/1837 - Tiny
Subatomic Particles electron – neg. charged subatomic particle located outside the nucleus, tiny!!!! proton – subatomic particle of the nucleus that has a positive charge. neutron – electrically neutral subatomic particle located in the nucleus
JJ Thomson Exp (electrons) Thomson used a cathode ray tube to discover that light was made of negatively charged particles, electrons. the cathode ray can be “bent” in the presence of a magnet!

Rutherford discovered the DENSE nucleus (1909) Gold atom High energy alpha particles e- e- nucleus Atom mostly EMPTY space
How does the nucleus stay together? Protons DON’T want to be close – they repel each other There is a STRONG force called the nuclear binding energy to hold all those POSITIVE protons so close together. Nuclear force > Electrostatic (repelling force)
Two regions of the atom Nucleus – positively charged, small, BUT DENSE (most of atom weight) central portion of an atom composed of protons & neutrons. Electron Cloud – negatively charged, takes up most of the atom space, but mostly EMPTY SPACE as electrons are tiny! (cloud area 10, 000 times bigger than nucleus)
Niels Bohr (1913) developed a model for the atom Electrons in orbits eenucleus p&n ee-
Review of the Progression of the Atomic Model • Dalton - everything is made up of atoms • JJ Thompson- atoms have negatively charged electrons • Rutherford- atoms have a nucleus that hold the positively charged mass, but are mostly taken up by negatively charged space • Bohr- Electrons surround the nucleus in distinct orbitals
Quarks • Discovered in the late 1960’s & early 1970’s • 3 families of quarks, each family contains 2 quarks • 1 st Family is Up and Down & 3 of them join to form a proton or a neutron Proton = Up + Down Up charge is +2/3 + -1/3 Down charge is – 1/3 = +1 Neutron = Up + Down 2/3 + -1/3 = 0 charge Charm & Strange – only exist at high energies Top & Bottom only exist at very high energies

What is a Mole? A mole is… - SI unit for amount of substance - Avogadro’s Number -> 6. 022 x 1023 particles/1 mole - this is the # of atoms contained in exactly 12 g (1 mole) of carbon. An amount – like 12 eggs in 1 dozen !
What is a Molar Mass? Molar mass is… - the mass of 1 mole of substance For example: 1 mole of carbon has a mass of 12. 01 g 1 mole of silicon has a mass of ____ 28. 09 g 196. 97 g 1 mole of gold has a mass of _____
Units and the Periodic Table Masses reported in the Periodic Table can be used two ways: - a special unit just for atoms called an atomic mass unit (amu). - one mole of substance has a mass in grams exactly equal reported in the Periodic Table (g/mol).
To think about • If you had 1 dozen chicken eggs (12) and compared them to 1 dozen ostrich eggs (12 also of those), they weigh different amounts. • SAME with the mole. • 1 mole (6. 022 x 1023 atoms) of Carbon weighs less then 1 mole (6. 022 x 1023 atoms) of gold (gold atom is bigger)
