    Empedocles ( pronunciation: [em ped okleez] )stated that matter was made of 4elements: earth, air, fire, water.

    Democritus ( pronunciation: [de mok ritus])(about 470-370 B.C.) thought that allforms of matter were divisible into tinyindivisible particles. He called thematoms from the Greek atomosindivisible.

    The earliest models of the atomwere developed by the ancientGreek philosophers.

    3

    Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) rejected thetheory of Democritus and advancedthe Empedoclean theory

    Aristotles influence dominated thethinking of scientists andphilosophers until the beginning of the 17 th century

    Daltons Modelof the Atom

    2000 years after Aristotle, John Dalton,an English schoolmaster, proposed hismodel of the atomwhich was based onexperimentation.

    2. Atoms of the same element are alike in mass and size.

    3. Atoms of different elements have different masses andsizes.4. Chemical compounds are formed by the union of two or

    more atoms of different elements.

    Daltons Atomic Theory (1810)

    1. Elements are composed of minute indivisible particles calledatoms.

    5. Atoms combine to form compounds in simple numericalratios,such as one to one, two to two, two to three, and so on.

    6. Atoms of two elements may combine in different ratios to formmore than one compound.

    Changes to the theory

    Atoms are composed of subatomic particles electron, neutron, proton

    Not all atoms of the same element have thesame mass - carbon 12, carbon 13, carbon 14

    Atoms can be decomposed - fission

    Charge may be of two types: positive and negative. Unlike charges attract (positive attracts negative),

    and like charges repel (negative repels negative andpositive repels positive). Charge may be transferred from one object to

    another, by contact or induction. The less the distance between two charges, the

    greater the force of attraction between unlikecharges (or repulsion between identical charges).

    Discovery of Ions

    15

    Michael Faraday discovered thatcertain substances, when dissolved inwater, conducted an electric current.

    He found that atoms of some elementsmoved to the cathode (negativeelectrode) and some moved to theanode (positive electrode).

    He concluded they were electricallycharged and called them ions (Greek

    wanderer ).16

    The anode of an electrolytic cell is positive (cathode is negative), sincethe anode attracts anions from the solution. However, the anode of agalvanic cell is negatively charged, since the spontaneous oxidation at

    the anode is the source of the cell's electrons or negative charge. Thecathode of a galvanic cell is its positive terminal.

    17

    Svante Arrhenius reasoned that an ionis an atom (or a group of atoms)carrying a positive or negative electriccharge.

    Arrhenius accounted for the electricalconduction of molten sodium chloride(NaCl) by proposing that melted NaCldissociated into the charged ions Na +and Cl -.

    NaCl Na + + Cl -

    18

    In the melt the positive Na + ions movedto the cathode (negative electrode).Thus positive ions are called cations .

    In the melt the negative Cl - ions movedto the anode (positive electrode). Thusnegative ions are called anions .

    NaCl Na + + Cl -

    Subatomic Parts

    of the AtomElectron, proton, neutron

    An atom is very Small

    21

    In 1875 Sir William Crookes inventedthe Crookes tube.

    Crookes tubes experiments led the wayto an understanding of the subatomicstructure of the atom.

    Crookes tube emissions are calledcathode rays .

    22

    In 1897 Sir Joseph Thompson demonstratedthat cathode rays:

    travel in straight lines.

    are negative in charge.

    are deflected by electric andmagnetic fields.

    are capable of moving a smallpaddle wheel.

    The electron, 9.110 X 10 -28 g, negative charge

    23

    Eugen Goldstein, a German physicist,first observed protons in 1886:

    Thompson determined the protonscharacteristics.

    Thompson showed that atoms containedboth positive and negative charges.

    This disproved the Dalton model of theatom which held that atoms wereindivisible.

    24

    James Chadwick discovered the neutronin 1932.

    Its actual mass is slightly greater thanthe mass of a proton.

    Ions

    27

    Positive ions were explained byassuming that a neutral atom loseselectrons.

    Negative ions were explained byassuming that extra electrons can beadded to atoms.

    28

    5.4

    When one or more electrons are lostfrom an atom, a cation is formed.

    29

    5.4

    When one or more electrons are addedto a neutral atom, an anion is formed. 30

    The Nuclear Atom

    31

    Radioactivity was discovered by Becquerelin 1896.

    Radioactive elements spontaneously emitalpha particles, beta particles and gammarays from their nuclei.

    By 1907 Rutherford found that alphaparticles emitted by certain radioactiveelements were helium nuclei.

    32

    The Rutherford Experiment

    33

    Rutherford in 1911 performed experimentsthat shot a stream of alpha particles at agold foil.

    Most of the alpha particles passed throughthe foil with little or no deflection.

    He found that a few were deflected at largeangles and some alpha particles evenbounced back.

    34Rutherfords alpha particle scattering experiment.

    5.5

    35

    An electron with a mass of 1/1837 amucould not have deflected an alphaparticle with a mass of 4 amu.

    Rutherford knew that like chargesrepel.

    Rutherford concluded that each goldatom contained a positively chargedmass that occupied a tiny volume. Hecalled this mass the nucleus .

    36

    If a positive alpha particle approachedclose enough to the positive mass itwas deflected.

    Most of the alpha particles passedthrough the gold foil. This ledRutherford to conclude that a goldatom was mostly empty space.

    37

    Because alpha particles have relativelyhigh masses, the extent of thereflections led Rutherford to concludethat the nucleus was very heavy anddense.

    Rutherfords experiment showed that anatom had a dense, positively chargednucleus.

    Chadwicks work in 1932 demonstratedthe atom contains neutrons.

    Rutherford also noted that light,negatively charged electrons werepresent in an atom and offset the positivenuclear charge.

    41

    Rutherford put forward a model of theatom in which a dense, positivelycharged nucleus is located at theatoms center.

    The negative electrons surround thenucleus.

    The nucleus contains protons andneutrons

    The atomic number of an atomdetermines which element the atom is.

    Every hydrogen atom contains 1proton in its nucleus.

    Isotopes of theElements

    51

    Atoms of the same element can havedifferent masses.

    They always have the same number of protons, but they can have differentnumbers of neutrons in their nuclei.

    The difference in the number of neutronsaccounts for the difference in mass.

    These are isotopes of the same element.52

    Atomic Mass

    62

    The mass of a single atom is too small tomeasure on a balance.

    Using a mass spectrometer, the mass of the hydrogen atom was determined.

    63

    A massspectrogram

    is recorded.

    From the intensity and positionsof the lines on the massspectrogram, the differentisotopes and their relativeamounts can be determined.

    The mass of a hydrogen atom isvery small.

    Numbers of this size are too small forpractical use.To overcome this problem a system of relative atomic masses using atomicmass units was devised to express themasses of elements using simplenumbers.

    Average RelativeAtomic Mass

    75

    Most elements occur as mixtures of isotopes.

    Isotopes of the same element havedifferent masses.

    The listed atomic mass of an element isthe average relative mass of the isotopesof that element compared to the mass of carbon-12 (exactly 12.0000amu

    To calculate the atomic mass multiply theatomic mass of each isotope by its percentabundance and add the results.
