  1. Chapter 3 • Atoms and Elements • Classifying Matter • Elements and Symbols • Periodic Table • Atomic Structure • Atomic Mass • Electronic Structure • Periodic Trends

  2. Classification of Matter • Pure Substance = matter that has a fixed or definite composition. • Both elements and compounds are examples of pure substances.

  3. Elements are composed of only one type of atom.

  4. Compounds are composed of two or more elements, but always in the same ratio.

  5. Classification of Matter • Compounds may be broken down into their elements through chemical reactions. • Elements can not be decomposed into simpler substances via chemical reactions. • Compounds can not be broken down into simpler substances via physical processes like boiling or filtering.

  6. Classification of Matter • Much of the matter we encounter is a mixture. • A mixture contains two or more pure substances that are physically mixed together. • Physical processes can be used to separate mixtures. • ex) iron fillings and sand can be separated by using a magnet. • ex) sugar and water can be separated by evaporating off all of the water.

  7. Classification of Matter • Mixtures can be classified as either homogeneous or heterogeneous. • Homogeneous – means that it is uniform throughout. Air, salt water, and brass are examples of homogeneous mixtures. • Heterogeneous – means that it is NOT uniform throughout. A rock, a chocolate chip cookie, and a can of soda are examples of heterogeneous mixtures.

  8. Learning Check Identify each of the following as a pure substance or a mixture. A. pasta and tomato sauce B. aluminum foil C. helium D. air

  9. Learning Check Identify each of the following as a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture: A. hot fudge sundae B. shampoo C. sugar water D. peach pie

  10. Elements and Symbols • All matter consists of primary substances called elements. • There are many different types of elements. • About 112 different elements are known. • Only 88 occur naturally with the rest produced artificially through nuclear reactions (Ch. 9).

  11. Elements & Symbols • Elements cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. • Elements are the building blocks of all substances. • The elements are typically denoted with either a one or two letter designation usually related to the English name or the older Latin name.

  12. Elements & Symbols • The abbreviations for each element are often called its chemical symbol. • One letter symbols are always capitalized. • C = carbon, N = nitrogen • Two letter symbols always have the first letter capitalized with the second one being lowercase. • Co = cobalt (CO is the compound carbon monoxide!) • Cl = chlorine

  13. Latin based symbols • Some elements have symbols based on their Latin names because they were known to the ancient Greeks. • Na (sodium) from natrium • Pb (lead) from plumbum • Fe (iron) from ferrum • K (potassium) from kalium

  16. Physical Properties • Characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without affecting the identity of that substance. • Examples include: • Color, odor, taste, appearance, density, melting point, and many more.

  17. Physical Properties of Elements Some physical properties of Copper are: Color Red-orange Luster Very shiny Melting point 1083°C Boiling point 2567°C Conduction of electricity Excellent Conduction of heat Excellent

  18. The Periodic Table • Dmitri Mendeleev was the first to arrange the elements in a fashion that showed repeating patterns. • This arrangement is called the periodic chart that we use today. • You will receive a periodic chart and mark down the groups, periods, metal, non-metal, metalloid designations as well as main and transition areas on your chart.

  19. The Elements • Properties of the Metals • metals are found to the left and below the line that separates the elements. • metals are shiny solids (except Hg) • metals are ductile and malleable (shaped into wires or thin sheets) • metals are excellent conductors of both heat and electricity.

  20. The Elements • Properties of the Non-metals • non-metals are found to the right and above the line the separates the elements. • non-metals are not shiny, rather those that are solids are dull in color. • non-metals are poor conductors. • many non-metals are gases at room temperature.

  21. The Elements • Properties of the Metalloids • metalloids are the elements that occur along the line that separate the elements. • have properties that are in between that of metals and non-metals. • metalloids are semi-conductors. • table 3.6 (p. 83) compares a metal, non-metal, and a metalloid.

  25. The Atom • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of that element. • Atoms are extremely small – they cannot be seen. • John Dalton, theorized the existence of atoms in 1808.

  26. Dalton’s Atomic Theory • All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. • All atoms of a given element are similar to one another; atoms of different elements are different from each other. • Atoms of two or more different elements combine to form compounds. • A chemical reaction involves the rearrangement of atoms into new combinations. Atoms are never created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

  27. Parts of an Atom • Experiments performed around the turn of the previous century (~1900), showed that atoms were made of several types of particles – collectively referred to as subatomic particles. • These experiments showed that three types of particles were present in an atom.

  28. The Three Particles • A proton has a +1 charge and an approximate mass of 1 amu. • Note: an atomic mass unit (amu) is equal to 1/12 of the mass of a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. • A neutron has no charge, but does have a mass of about 1 amu. • An electron has a –1 charge and a mass so small that we usually say that it weighs 0 amu.

  29. Structure of the Atom • Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment called the “Gold Foil” experiment in 1911. • He used an alpha particle (2P + 2N) source and fired them at a piece of very thin gold foil. • He expected all of the particles to pass straight through. However, some were deflected and some were even reflected backwards. • In Rutherford’s words, it was as if he had shot a cannonball at a piece of tissue paper and have it bounce backwards.

  30. Nuclear Model of the Atom • Only 1 in 8000 alpha particles is scattered. • Scattering occurs when an alpha particle encounters a gold nuclei. • A nucleus is very small and contains both the protons and the neutrons. Thus, it contains almost all of the mass of an atom. • This very dense center is surrounded by the electron cloud, which is occupied by the fast moving electrons. • Thus, an atom is MAINLY EMPTY SPACE.

  31. Nuclear Model of the Atom

  32. Atomic Number & Mass Number • All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. • This distinguishes one element from another. • The number of protons is also called the atomic number. • This is always the integer found on the periodic chart with each chemical symbol.

  33. Atomic Number & Mass Number • Atoms are electrically neutral. Thus, each element must have an equal number of protons and electrons. • The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum total of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. • Mass number and atomic weight (found on the periodic chart) are NOT the same thing.

  34. Study Check

  35. Isotopes and Atomic Mass • All atoms of one element have the same number of protons. • But, they can have different numbers of neutrons, and hence, a different mass number. • These different versions of atoms from one element are called isotopes.

  36. Isotopic Symbols • Use the chemical symbol, atomic number (Z), and mass number (A) as seen below. • Can also list symbol followed by mass number.

  37. Atomic Mass • The masses found for each element on the periodic chart are the weighted average of all the known isotopes for that element. Example: Chlorine has only two known isotopes – Cl-35 and Cl-37. Cl-35 is found 75.5% of the time and Cl-37 is found 24.5% of the time.

  38. Isotope Mass X Percent = Contribution (approximate) to total mass 35 amu X 0.755 = 26.4 amu 37 amu X 0.245 = 9.1 amu Totals 1.000 35.5 amu • With all elements, round A.W.’s to one decimal place.

  39. Study Check • What is the Atomic Weight of each element rounded to 0.1amu? • Na • Si • Cl • K

  40. Electron Arrangement • The electrons determine much of the properties and reactions for that element. • Electrons are arranged first into shells, and then further into subshells. • Shells are usually indicated by the letter n and have integer values. • n = 1 is the lowest energy possible.

  41. Shells • The maximum number of electrons that each shell can hold depends on the value of n. • n = 1, can hold two electrons maximum. • n = 2, can hold eight electrons maximum. • n = 3, can hold 18 electrons maximum. • n = 4, can hold 32 electrons maximum.

  42. Orbitals • An orbital is a 3D shape that contains up to two electrons MOST of the time. • An s type orbital is spherical in shape. • A p type orbital has two lobes along one of the three axes (x, y, or z).

  43. Orbitals

  44. Subshells • Shells are split up into subshells. • Each type of subshell is given a letter designation – s, p, d, or f. The s and p orbitals were shown on the previous slide. • Each subshell also has a maximum number of electrons that it can hold. • s = 2, p = 6, d = 10, and f = 14.

  45. Using Subshell Notation • The filling order for subshells is: • 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p,… • For writing electron configurations, write each subshell followed by a superscript number indicating the number of electrons. • Remember that subshells can only hold as many electrons as stated previously.

  46. What are the Electron Configurations for: • H • B • O • Ne • Mg • There is a pattern to this!

  47. Shorthand Method • For elements with a lot of electrons, the process is rather tedious. • The shorthand method uses the noble gases (group 8A) to represent the filled shell(s) of electrons. • For any element, count back to the last noble gas encountered. Then, begin with the next subshell until you are finished.
