  1. Structure of Atoms Physical Science Chapter 4 – Section 2

  2. State Standards • CLE.3202.1.2 – Describe the structure and arrangement of atomic particles

  3. What is an Atom? • The three main components of an atom are distinquished by mass, charge, and location • The chemistry of each element depends directly on these three components • Nucleus: • Protons ( positively charged ) • Neutrons ( neutral – NO CHARGE ) • Electrons ( negatively charged )

  4. Electric Forces in Atoms • Protons and electrons attract each other • Electric force holds components together; the same forces hold solids and liquids together • Liquid water is held together by electric forces

  5. Atomic Components • Protons ( +1 charge / 1.67 x 10-27 kg ) • Neutrons ( 0 charge / 1.67 x 10-27 kg ) • Electrons ( -1 charge / 9.11 x 10-31kg ) • All ( most ) elements contain all three • Atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons, but neutrons may vary • Each element has a unique number of protons

  6. Distinguishing Elements and Atoms • Atomic number – number of protons in an atom • Mass number – number of protons & neutrons • Isotopes – exist for an element if different atoms ( with the same atomic number ) have varying numbers of protons ( different mass numbers )

  7. Hydrogen & Helium • Hydrogen ( H ) contains 1 electron, 1 proton, and 0 neutrons [ Protium isotope ] • Helium ( He ) contains 2 electrons, 2 protons, and 2 neutrons • What is atomic number, mass number of H, He?

  8. Isotopes of Hydrogen • Protium – Most common form on Earth and Sun • 1 electron, 1 proton, 0 neutrons • Deuterium – small fraction of hydrogen; 1 out of every 6,000 hydrogen atoms in Earth’s crust • 1 electron, 1 proton, 1 neutron • Trillium – very unstable and so very rare • 1 electron, 1 proton, 2 neutrons

  9. Isotopes of Chlorine • The common form of chlorine ( Cl ) has 17 protons, 17 electrons, and 18 neutrons • Another form has 20 neutrons • Neutrons can be calculated by using these • How do we know which form is most common?

  10. Atomic Mass Units • Used to express the mass of such tiny particles • Unified Atomic Mass Unit is 1/12 the mass of a Carbon-12 • Carbon-12 isotope has a fairly even mass number • 6 protons and 6 neutrons • Remember electrons contribute little mass to atom • Each proton/neutron has mass of 1.0 u • Units given as a u

  11. Atomic Mass Units • The value of AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS found in the periodic table tells us which isotope of any element is most common ( HYDROGEN ) • weighted average so most common form counts most • Zinc with average atomic mass 65.4 u • 65 ( closest mass # ) – 30 ( atomic # ) = 35 neutrons • Most common Zn isotope has 35 neutrons • Cl has average of 35.453 u , with 35 mass number • Most common Cl form contains 18 neutrons

  12. The Mole • In order to count large numbers of small particles, a COUNTING UNIT was devised – THE MOLE ( mol ) • Examples ( Avogadro’s number ): • 1 mol = 602,213,670,000,000,000,000,000 particles • Equals 6.022 x 1023 when put into scientific notation • 1 mol of marbles = 6.022 x 1023marbles • 1 mol of atoms = 6.022 x 1023atoms ( any atom ) • 1 mol of He atoms = 6.022 x 1023He atoms

  13. The Mole • How many stars in the universe? • 2003, roughly 7 x 1022 stars counted ( within range • Value could increase in future • 6.022 x 1023popcorn kernels would cover the USA in a pile 500 km ( or 310 mi ) tall!! • Avogadro’s number is used only for small particles

  14. Relating Moles and Grams • Mass of 1 mol random atoms difficult to find • Each element has a unique MOLAR MASS • The mass of 1 mol of this type of atom ( element ) • Usually accounts for several isotopes • Mass of 1 mol of the same atom easy to find • For Carbon-12, molar mass is 12.00 g • Molar mass ( in g ) equals average atomic mass ( in u ) • Carbon-12 has 12.01 u as well as 12.01 g/mol • Figure 7 in text

  15. Relating Moles and Grams • Mass of 1 mol Carbon-12 atoms is 12.01 g • USE PERIODIC TABLE • 24 g Carbon-12 = 2 mol Carbon-12 • 3 mol Carbon-12 = 36 g Carbon-12

  16. Molar Mass of Compounds, Molecules • As elements ( atoms with same atomic number ) have a MOLAR MASS, so do coumpounds • H2O : 2 Hydrogen with 1.00 g/mol & 1 Oxygen with 16 g/mol • Gives ( 2.00 + 16 ) g/mol = 18 g/mol • CO2 : 1 Carbon with 12.01 g/mol& 2 Oxygens with 16 g/mol • Gives ( 12.01 + 32 ) g/mol = 44 g/mol • O2 : 2 Oxygen atoms at 16 g each • Gives: 32 g/mol for O2 molecules H O
