Alchemy
• Turning Cheep metals into gold
• Alchemists discovered several elements and prepared mineral acids
17th Century17th Century
• Robert BoyleRobert Boyle: : First “chemist” to perform First “chemist” to perform quantitative experimentsquantitative experiments
• He published his first book: “The Skeptical He published his first book: “The Skeptical Chemist” in 1661.Chemist” in 1661.
• He talked about elementsHe talked about elements
18th Century18th Century
• George Stahl: Phlogiston flows out of a burning material.
• Joseph Priestley: Discovers oxygen gas, “dephlogisticated air, i.e., low in phlogistone”
2.2 Fundamentals chemical Laws
• Law of Conservation of Mass• Law of Definite Proportion• Law of Multiple
Law of Conservation of MassLaw of Conservation of Mass
It was discovered by Antoine Lavoisier
It was the basis for development of chemistry in the 19th century
Mass is neither created nor destroyed
Combustion involves oxygen, not phlogiston
Law of Definite Proportion(Proust’s Law)
Law of Definite Proportion(Proust’s Law)
A given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.
Water is composed of 11.1% H and 88.9% O (w/w)
Law of Multiple ProportionsLaw 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.
The ratio of the masses of oxygen that combine with 1g of H in H2O and H2O2 will be a small whole number (“2”).
Example
• Water, H2O has 8 g of oxygen per 1g of hydrogen.
• Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, has 16 g of oxygen per 1g of hydrogen.
• 16/8 = 2/1
• Small whole number ratios.
• This fact could be explained in terms of atoms
2.3 Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1808) Elements are made up of small particles
called atoms Atoms of each element are identical.
Atoms of different elements are different.
Compounds are formed when atoms combine. Each compound has a always same type and relative number of atoms
Chemical reactions are rearrangement of atoms but atoms are never changed into atoms of other element. , or created or destroyed.
• Provided basics to determining absolute formulas of compounds
• Gay-Lussac- under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, compounds always react in whole number ratios by volume.– 2volumes of H react with one volume of O to form
2volumes of gaseous water and
Gay-Lussac hypothesis (1809)
Avogadro’s Hypothesis (1811)Avogadro’s Hypothesis (1811)
• 5 liters of oxygen
• 5 liters of nitrogen
• Same number of particles!
At the same temperature and pressure, equal At the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gases contain the same volumes of different gases contain the same number of particlesnumber of particles..
•If Avogadro's hypothesis is correct, Gay-Lussac’s can be interpreted as
follows: • 2 molecules of H react with 1 molecule
of O 2 molecules of H2O
2.4 Early experiments to characterize the atom2.4 Early experiments to characterize the atom
Based on Dalton, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro and others, work started to identify the nature of the atom
What is an atom made of? How do atoms of various elements differ?
The electron
J. J. Thomson - postulated the existence of electrons using cathode ray tubes.
Ernest Rutherford - explained the nuclear atom, containing a dense nucleus with electrons traveling around the nucleus at a large distance.
Thomson’s Experiment

When high voltage is applied to the tube a ray emanates from the cathode is called cathode ray.

Results of Thomson Experiment
• Electrons are produced from electrodes made from various types of metals, all atoms must contain electrons.
• Since atoms are electrically neutral, they must contain positively charged particles.
• Thomson determined charge-to-mass ratio of an electron:
• e/m = -1.76X108C/g
Thomson’s Model
• Atom consisted of a diffuse cloud of positive charge with negative electrons embedded randomly
• Atom was like plum pudding.
• Thomson believed that the electrons were like plums embedded in a positively charged “pudding,” thus it was called the “plum pudding” model.

Millikan’s Experiment
X-rays
X-rays give some electrons a charge.
Millikan’s Experiment
From the mass of the drop and the charge on the plates, the mass of an electron is calculated
Radioactivity• Certain elements produce high energy
radiation• Discovered by accident and was a result of
spontaneous emission by uranium• Bequerel (1896) found that a piece of mineral
containing uranium could produce an image on a photographic plate in the absence of light.
• Three types of radiation were known:– alpha- helium nucleus (+2 charge, 7300 times that
of the electron)– beta- high speed electron– gamma- high energy light
The nuclear atomRutherford’s Experiment
• Aimed at testing Thomson’s plum pudding model• Used uranium to produce alpha particles.• Alpha particles are directed at gold foil through
hole in lead block.• Since the mass is evenly distributed in gold
atoms alpha particles should go straight through.• Used gold foil because it could be made atoms
thin.

What he expected
Because
Because, he thought the mass was evenly distributed in the atom.
What he got
How he explained it
+
• Atom is mostly empty
• Small dense, positive particle at
center.
• Alpha particlesare deflected by
it if they get close enough.
Proof for nuclear atom
+
Nuclear atom model
• According to Rutherford:
The atom consists of a dense center of positive charge (Nucleus) with electrons moving around it at distance that is large relative to the nuclear radius
2.5 The modern view of an atomic structure:An introduction
• The atom is mostly empty space.
• Two regions• Nucleus- protons and
neutrons.• It is characterized by
small size and high density
• Electron cloud- region where you might find an electron.
• The chemistry of atom• Results mainly from
electrons

Proton 1.67X10-27 +1
Neutron 1.67X10-27 None
Why atoms of different elements have different properties?
• Atoms of different elements have different number of protons and electrons.
• Number and arrangement of electrons around nucleus differ from one element to another.
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 atom is neutral.

number) with different mass numbers
Atoms with the same number of protons, but
different numbers of neutrons.

Two isotopes of sodium
• Isotopes show almost identical chemical properties. Why?
• They possess same number of electrons
2.6 Molecules and ionsIntroduction to chemical bonding
• The forces that hold atoms together are called chemical bonding
• Covalent bonding - sharing electrons.• Collection of atoms by covalent bonding lead
to molecules• Molecules can be represented by formulas • Chemical formula- Symbol relates number
and type of atoms in a molecule. • Diatomic molecule: two atoms of same
element are connected by a covalent bond.
• Molecular formulas– give the actual numbers and types of atoms
in a molecule.– Examples: H2O, CO2, CO, CH4, H2O2, O2, O3,
and C2H4.• Structural formula: bonds are shown as lines

Ions• Atoms or groups of atoms with a charge.
• Cations- positive ions - get by losing electrons(s).
• Anions- negative ions - get by gaining electron(s).
• Ionic bonding- Force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
• Ionic solids are called salts.
