  1. Atomic Theory Chapter 4

  2. History The Greeks thought that matter was composed of fire, earth, water, and air.

  3. Democritus and Leucippos • 400BC • Greek philosophers • Thought all matter was made up of atoms, which are the basic, indivisible particles of matter (atomos) • Alchemists-tried to turn cheap metal into gold

  4. Aristotle • Believed all matter was continuous-did not believe in atoms • His theory (explanation) was accepted for nearly 2000 years

  5. Robert Boyle • Performed the first quantitative experiments. • He studied the relationship between pressure and volume and came up with the definition of an element.

  6. Antoine Lavoisier • The father of modern chemistry. He wrote the first chemistry book. • Performed quantitative experiments where he weighed the reactants and products and verified the law of conservation of mass.

  7. Late 1700’s Scientists agreed that • Most natural materials are mixtures of pure substances. • Pure substances are elements or compounds. • Law of constant composition (Law of definite proportion or Proust’s Law)-a compound always has the same composition.

  8. John Dalton • English schoolteacher who tied all three laws together in his atomic theory • Dalton turned Democritus’s idea into a scientific theory that could be tested by experimentation.

  9. Dalton’s Atomic Theory • Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. • All atoms of a given element are identical. Atoms of different elements are different. 3. Atoms of one element combine with others to form compounds. 4. Atoms are indivisible in chemical processes. A chemical reaction changes the way the atoms are grouped together.

  10. Dalton (cont) • He came up with the law of multiple proportions-when two elements form a series of compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that combine with 1 gram of the first element can always be reduced to small whole numbers.

  11. What?! • Water (H2O) has 8 g of oxygen per 1 g of hydrogen. • Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has 16 g of oxygen per 1 g of hydrogen. • 16/8 = 2/1 • Small whole number ratios.

  12. Proof • Mercury has two oxides. One is 96.2 % mercury by mass, the other is 92.6 % mercury by mass. • Show that these compounds follow the law of multiple proportion. • Speculate on the formula of the two oxides.

  13. A Helpful Observation • Gay-Lussac- compounds always react in whole number ratios by volume if they are under constant temperature and pressure. • Avogadro- interpreted that to mean that at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gas contain the same number of particles (Avogadro’s Hypothesis)

  14. Figure 2.4 Gay-Lussac's Experimental Results

  15. Figure 2.5 A Representation of Combining Gasses at the Molecular Level

  16. Joseph John Thomson • Cathode-ray experiment: showed that the atoms of any element can be made to emit tiny negative particles • Determined the charge ratio of electrons

  17. Voltage source Thomson’s Experiment - +

  18. Voltage source Thomson’s Experiment - +

  19. Voltage source Thomson’s Experiment - + • Passing an electric current makes a beam appear to move from the negative to the positive end.

  20. Voltage source Thomson’s Experiment + - • By adding an electric field, he found that the moving pieces were negative

  21. William Thomson • Found the electron, but couldn’t find where the positive charge was located. • Plum pudding model-a bunch of positive stuff with the electrons able to be removed.

  22. Atomizer Oil droplets + - Oil Telescope Millikan’s Experiment

  23. Millikan’s Experiment X-rays X-rays give some electrons a charge.

  24. Millikan’s Experiment Some drops would hover From the mass of the drop and the charge on the plates, he calculated the mass of an electron.

  25. Radioactivity • Discovered by accident by Henri Bequerel • Three types • alpha (α)- helium nucleus (+2 charge, large mass) • beta (β)- high speed electron • gamma (γ)- high energy light

  26. Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden-nucleus • Gold foil experiment, which led to the discovery of the nucleus. • Used uranium to produce alpha particles. • Aimed alpha particles at gold foil by drilling a hole in a lead block. • Like bullets through a tissue

  28. What he expected

  29. Because, he thought the mass was evenly distributed in the atom.

  30. What he got

  31. + How he explained it • Atom is mostly empty • Small dense, positive pieceat center. • Alpha particlesare deflected by it if they get close enough.

  33. Atomic Structure

  34. The Nuclear Atom • The atom is mostly empty space. • Two regions • Nucleus- protons and neutrons. • Electron cloud- region where you might find an electron.

  35. Table 2.1 The Mass and Charge of the Electron, Proton, and Neutron

  36. Protons • The number of protons in an atom determines the element’s identity • Nuclear forces hold the nuclear particles together • The atomic number equals the number of protons

  37. Electrons • Very small If the nucleus is a grape, the electrons would be about one mile away. • Have a negative charge • The arrangements of electrons determines the element’s chemical properties.

  38. Neutrons • Mass number= protons+neutrons • Neutrons=mass number-atomic number • Isotope-atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons (disproves point 2 of Dalton’s theory) • Nuclide-any isotope of any element

  39. Figure 2.15 Two Isotopes of Sodium

  40. Sub-atomic Particles • Z - atomic number = number of protons (determines type of atom). • A - mass number = number of protons + neutrons. • Number of protons = number of electrons (if neutral).

  41. Symbols A X Z 23 Na 11

  42. Practice-Give the protons, neutrons, and electrons for each • Mercury • Sodium • Carbon • 13C 6

  43. Answers • Mercury 80p, 80e, 121n • Sodium 11p, 11e, 12n • Carbon 6p, 6e, 6n • 13C 6p, 6e, 7n 6

  44. Ions • An ion is formed when we remove or add an electron to a neutral atom. • Cation-a positive ion • Anion-a negative ion

  45. Ion Example Regular sodium has 11 electrons, 11 protons, and 12 neutrons. If we take away 1 electron, it would have 10 electrons (-), and 11 protons (+) so the charge would be +1. (Neutrons would stay the same).

  46. Periodic Table

  47. Mendeleev's Early Periodic Table, Published in 1872-arranged by mass number

  48. Organization Groups/families-vertical columns Periods-horizontal rows

  49. Metals Conductors Lose electrons (cations +) Malleable and ductile

  50. Nonmetals Brittle Gain electrons (anions -) Covalent bonds
