Atoms – the building blocks
All substances are made from very tiny particles called atoms.
John Dalton had ideas about the existence of atoms about 200 years ago but only relatively recently have special microscopes (called electron microscopes) been invented that can ‘see’ atoms.
The yellow blobs in this image are individual gold atoms, as seen through an electron microscope.

Elements – different types of atom
Elements are the simplest substances. There are about 100 different elements.
Each element is made up of just one particular type of atom, which is different to the atoms in any other element.
Copper is an element made up of copper atoms only.
Carbon is an element made up ofcarbon atoms only.

How small is an atom?
Atoms are extremely small – they are about 0.00000001 cm wide.
N X3,000,000,000
If a football was enlarged by the same amount it would stretch from the UK to the USA.
To make an atom the size of a football it would have to be enlarged by about 3,000,000,000 times.

How heavy is an atom?
A single grain of sand contains millions of atoms of silicon and oxygen.
Each atom must therefore have an extremely small mass.
millions of these atoms join to form each tiny

Relative atomic mass
Atoms are so small that their mass is not measured in grams but in atomic mass units.
Relative atomic mass = 12C
The element carbon is the atom that the mass of all other atoms is compared to. Carbon has a RAM of 12.
The atoms of each type of element have a relative atomic mass (RAM).

Relative atomic mass – examples
The lightest atom is hydrogen. It has 1⁄12 the mass of carbon and so has a RAM of 1.

Magnesium is twice as heavy as carbon. It has a RAM of 24.

Even smaller particles
For some time people thought that atoms were the smallest particles and could not be broken into anything smaller.
proton
neutron
electron
Scientists now know that atoms are actually made from even smaller subatomic particles. There are three types:
![Page 14: © Boardworks Ltd 2005 1 of 49 KS4 Chemistry Atomic Structure.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052117/56649d315503460f94a0a195/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
© Boardworks Ltd 200514 of 49
Where are subatomic particles found?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are NOT evenly distributed in an atom.
The electrons are spread out around the edge of the atom. They orbit the nucleus in layers called shells.
The protons and neutrons exist in a dense core at the centre of the atom. This is called the nucleus.
![Page 15: © Boardworks Ltd 2005 1 of 49 KS4 Chemistry Atomic Structure.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052117/56649d315503460f94a0a195/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Properties of subatomic particles
There are two properties of subatomic particles that are especially important:
1. Mass
2. Electrical charge
The atoms of an element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons and so have no overall charge.
![Page 17: © Boardworks Ltd 2005 1 of 49 KS4 Chemistry Atomic Structure.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052117/56649d315503460f94a0a195/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

How many protons?
The atoms of any particular element always contain the same number of protons. For example:
The number of protons in an atom is known as its atomic numberor proton number.
It is the smaller of the two numbers shown in most periodic tables.
hydrogen atoms always contain 1 proton;
carbon atoms always contain 6 protons;
magnesium atoms always contain 12 protons,

More about atomic number
Each element has a definite and fixed number of protons. If the number of protons changes, then the atom becomes a different element.
Changes in the number of particles in the nucleus (protons or neutrons) is very rare. It only takes place in nuclear processes such as:
radioactive decay; nuclear bombs; nuclear reactors.

Mass number
Electrons have a mass of almost zero, which means that the mass of each atom results almost entirely from the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom’s nucleus is the mass number. It is the larger of the two numbers shown in most periodic tables.

How many electrons?
Atoms have no overall electrical charge and are neutral. This means atoms must have an equal number of protons and electrons.
The number of electrons is therefore the same as the atomic number.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons rather than the number of electrons because atoms can lose or gain electrons but do not normally lose or gain protons.

How are electrons arranged?
Electrons are not evenly spread but exist in layers called shells.
3rd shell
2nd shell
1st shell
The arrangement of electrons in these shells is often called the electron configuration..
![Page 28: © Boardworks Ltd 2005 1 of 49 KS4 Chemistry Atomic Structure.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052117/56649d315503460f94a0a195/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

How many electrons per shell?
Each shell has a maximum number of electrons that it can hold. Electrons will fill the shells nearest the nucleus first.

What is an isotope?
Elements consist of one type of atom, but sometimes these atoms can be slightly different.
mass number is different
atomic number is the same
Atoms that differ in this way are called isotopes.
Although atoms of the same element always have the same number of protons, they may have different numbers of neutrons.
![Page 34: © Boardworks Ltd 2005 1 of 49 KS4 Chemistry Atomic Structure.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052117/56649d315503460f94a0a195/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Properties of isotopes
The isotopes of an element are virtually identical in their chemical reactions.
The uncharged neutrons make no difference to chemical properties but do affect physical properties such as melting point and density.
Natural samples of elements are often a mixture of isotopes.
This is because they have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons.

Isotopes and RAM
Many elements are a mixture of isotopes. The RAM given in the periodic table takes account of this.
For example, chlorine exists as two isotopes:chlorine-35 (75%) and chlorine-37 (25%).
To calculate the RAM of a mixture of isotopes, multiply the percentage of each isotope by its
atomic mass and add them together.
= (0.75 x 35) + (0.25 x 37)
= 26.25 + 9.25
= 35.5
RAM of chlorine = (75% x 35) + (25% x 37)
![Page 40: © Boardworks Ltd 2005 1 of 49 KS4 Chemistry Atomic Structure.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052117/56649d315503460f94a0a195/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Calculating RAM
Bromine contains 50.5% bromine-79 and 49.5% bromine-81.
= (0.505 x 79) + (0.495 x 81)
= 39.895 + 40.095
= 79.99
= 80 (the RAM is usually rounded to the nearest whole number)
RAM of bromine = (50.5% x 79) + (49.5% x 81)
What is the RAM of naturally-occurring bromine?
