ATOMS, MOLECULES, AND IONS
Daltons Atomic Theory (1808)
Postulates:1. An element is composed of extremely
small,indivisible particles called atoms.
2. All atoms of a given element haveidentical properties that differ from
those of other elements.3. Atoms cannot be created, destroyed,
or transformed into atoms of anotherelement.
4. Compounds are formed when atoms ofdifferent elements combine with oneanother in small whole-number ratios.
5. The relative numbers and kinds ofatoms are constant in a givencompound.
Fundamental Laws of Matter1. Law of Definite Proportion
Different samples of the same compoundalways contain its constituent elements inthe same proportion by mass.2. Law of Multiple Proportion
If two elements can combine to formmore than one type of compound, the
masses of one element that combine with a

3. Law of Conservation of MassMatter can be neither created nor

The ElectronsHumphrey Davy in the early 1800s
passed electricity through compoundsand noted:
that the compounds decomposed intoelements.
Concluded that compounds are heldtogether by electrical forces.
Michael Faraday in 1832-1833 realizedthat the amount of reaction that occursduring electrolysis is proportional tothe electrical current passed through
the compounds

Cathode Ray Tubes experiments performedin the late 1800s & early 1900s.
Consist of two electrodes sealed in a glass
tube containing a gas at very low pressure. When a voltage is applied to the cathodes a
glow discharge is emitted.
These rays are emitted from cathode (-end) and travel to anode (+ end).
Cathode Rays must be negatively charged!
J.J. Thomson modified the cathode raytube experiments in 1897 by adding twoadjustable voltage electrodes.
Studied the amount that the cathode raybeam was deflected by additional electricfield.

- Thomson used his modification tomeasure the charge to mass ratio ofelectrons.
e/m = -1.75881 x 108 coulomb/g of e-
- Named the cathode rays electrons.
Robert A. Millikan won the 1st AmericanNobel
Prize in 1923 for his famous oil-dropexperiment.
- In 1909 Millikan determined thecharge and
mass of the electron.- Millikan determined that the chargeon asingle electron = -1.60218 x 10-19coulomb.
- Using Thomsons charge to massratio, weget that the mass of one electron is
9.10 x
10-28
g.

e/m = -1.76 x 108 coulombe = -1.6022 x 10-19 coulomb
Thus m = 9.10 x 10-28 g
Radioactivity- 1895, Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen,
discoveredX-Rays
- Marie Curie, suggested the name
radioactivity,spontaneous emission of particles and/orradiation
Three types of rays:
1. Alpha rays ( ) positively chargedparticles
2. Beta rays ( ) are electrons3. Gamma rays ( ) high-energy rays;
no charge
The ProtonEugene Goldstein noted streams ofpositively
charged particles in cathode rays in1886.
Particles move in opposite direction ofcathode rays.
Called Canal Rays because they
passed through holes (channels or
________________________________________________________________________
Module 2: Atoms, Molecules and Ions Page 5 of 24
8/3/2019 Module 2 - Atoms, Molecules, And Ions
6/24
canals) drilled through the negativeelectrode.
Canal rays must be positive.
Goldstein postulated the existence ofa positive fundamental particle calledthe proton.
The NucleusErnest Rutherford directed Hans Geiger
andErnst Marsdens experiment in 1910.
- particle scattering from thin Aufoils
Gave us the basic picture of theatoms structure.
- In 1912 Rutherford decoded the
-particlescattering information.
Explanation involved a nuclear atomwith electrons surrounding the nucleus.
Rutherfords major conclusions from the -particle scattering experiment
The atom is mostly empty space. It contains a very small, dense centercalled the nucleus.
Nearly all of the atoms mass is in
the nucleus.

The nuclear diameter is 1/10,000 to1/100,000 times less than atomsradius.
The Neutron James Chadwick in 1932 analyzed the
results of -particle scattering on thin Be films.
- Chadwick recognized existence of
massiveneutral particles which he called
neutrons.
Atomic NumberThe atomic number is equal to the
number of protons in the nucleus. Sometimes given the symbol Z. On the periodic chart Z is theuppermost number in each elementsbox.
- In 1913 H.G.J. Moseley realized thatthe
atomic number determines theelement .The elements differ from each otherby the number of protons in thenucleus.

The number of electrons in a neutralatom is also equal to the atomicnumber.
Mass NumberMass number is given the symbol A.
A is the sum of the number of protonsand neutrons.
Z = proton number
N = neutron numberIn general, the mass number is given by
IsotopesIsotopes are atoms of the same element
but with different neutron numbers. Isotopeshave different masses and A values but arethe same element.
One example of an isotopic series is the
hydrogen isotopes.1H or protium is the most common
hydrogenisotope (one proton and no neutron). 2H or deuterium is the second mostabundant hydrogen isotope (one proton and
one neutron).

The Periodic TableA chart in which elements having similar
chemical and physical properties aregrouped together.
The elements are arranged in increasingatomic number in horizontal rows called
periods and in vertical columns known asgroups or families based on similarities inchemical properties. Note that elementsnumber 111 to 115 have recently beensynthesized but not yet been named.

The elements can be divided into threecategories metal, nonmetals and
metalloids.1. A metal is a good conductor of heat
and electricity. (found on the left of thechart with)
2. A nonmetal is usually a poorconductor of heat and electricity. (are
found on the right side)

3. A metalloid has properties that areintermediate between those of metalsand nonmetals. (found along the
zigzag line, separating the metals fromthe nonmetals)
Elements are often referred to
collectively by their periodic table groupnumber (Group 1A, Group 2A, etc.).
However some element groups have specialnames. Common examples are:
1. Group 1A elements are called alkalimetals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr).
2. Group 2A elements are calledalkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr,Ba, and Ra).
3. Elements in Group 7A are calledhalogens (F, Cl, Br, I, and At).
4. Elements in Group 8A are known asnoble or rare gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xeand Rn)
MoleculesA molecule is an aggregate of at least
two atoms in a definite arrangement heldtogether by chemical forces (also calledchemical bonds)Examples of molecules:
O2, H2, Cl2 diatomic molecules

that hasa net positive or negative charge.Two basic types of ions:1. Positive ions or cations - one or more
electronsless than neutralNa+, Ca2+, Al3+ - monoatomic cationsNH4

Chemical FormulasChemical formula shows the chemical
composition of the substance. It is the ratio
of the elements present in the molecule orcompoundTypes of formulas:1. Molecular Formula shows the exactnumber of
atoms of each element in the smallest

Formula of Ionic CompoundsFormula of ionic compounds is determined
by thecharges of the ions.
Charge on the cations must equal thecharge on the anions.
The compound must be neutral, that is,the sum of the charges on the cation andanion in each formula unit must be equalto zero.
If they are different, we apply thefollowing formula to make the formulaelectrically neutral: The subscript of thecation is numerically equal to the chargeon the anion and the subscript of theanion is numerically equal to the chargeon the cation. (We call this the criss-cross method). If the charges are
numerically equal, then no subscripts

are necessary. This rule follows becausethe formulas of most ionic compoundsare empirical formulas, and as such, the
subscripts are reduced to the smallestwhole number ratios. Examples are asfollows.
Potassium bromide is formed by K+
and Br-.
The formula is KBr.
Zinc iodide is formed by Zn2+
and I-
.The
formula is ZnI2.Aluminum oxide is formed by Al3+ and

The use of ous and -ic Addition of one O atom to the -ic acid:
The acid is called per...-ic acid. Thus,adding an O atom to HClO3 changes thechloric acid to perchloric acid, HClO4.
Removal of one O atom from the -icacid: The acid is called -ous acid. Thusnitric acid, HNO3 becomes nitrous acid,
HNO2.

22/24
Removal of two O atoms from the -icacid: The acid is called hypo...ous acid.Thus when HBrO3 is converted to HBrO,
the acid is called hypobromous acid.
The rules for naming anions of oxoacids(oxoanions) are:
When all the H ions are removed fromthe -ic acid, the anions name endswith -ate. For example the anion CO3
2-
derived from H2CO3 is called carbonate. When all the H ions are removed from
the -ous acid, the anions name endswith -ite. Thus the anion ClO2
- derivedfrom HClO2 is called chlorite.
The names of anions in which one ormore but not all of the hydrogen ionshave been removed must indicate the
number of H+ ions present. For example,consider the anions derived from thephosphoric acid (H3PO4): dihydrogenphosphate (H2PO4
-), hydrogen phosphate(HPO4
2-).
