Atoms
● Building blocks of matter
● Smallest unit of an
element that retains the
element’s properties
● Atoms are made up of
still smaller particles
● Concept/model of the
atom has evolved over Individual carbon atoms in graphite
imaged by STM
2500 years.
DEMOCRITUS
Philosophical concept of atoms
- Greek philosopher Leucippus and student Democritus
- all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms,
- 5th century B.C.
- atom comes from Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”
- too small to be seen, unchangeable, and indestructible,
- completely solid, with no internal structure,
- variety of shapes and sizes: different kinds of matter.
- Color, taste, and other qualities were thought to be “atomic.”

Aristotle argued against the existence of such atoms


-his world view “won out”
-atomic philosophy was largely dismissed for centuries
ARISTOTLE’S THEORY OF MATTER
● All substances combinations of elements and elemental qualities.
● The elements are: fire, water, earth, and air.
● (Aristotle added later another "element" - Ether which was a perfect
substance and what the heavenly bodies are composed of)
● The qualities are: hot, cold, wet, dry.
● The qualities define the character of "elements".
● Fire was seen as ideal mixture of hotness & dryness.
● One element could be changed into another like mixing solutions.
● Combustion and other chemical reactions were considered a type of
motion.
ANTOINE LAVOISIER
● Element concept provided the foundation for Dalton's
atomism.
○ “Elements are the substances we have not discovered means for
separating. They are all the substances into which we are
capable to reduce [in weight] bodies by decomposition.”

→ Defined elements as substances that could not be


broken into simpler substances through chemical means.

● Law of Conservation of Mass


○ “Nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed.”
○ Basis of quantitative chemistry
○ Weight becomes the tool for determining if a product is simpler or
more complex than an ingredient (a reactant).
JOHN DALTON
John Dalton (1766-1844):
• One of the earlier scientists to
work on the understanding of
matter.
• At the hub or focus of his
assumption is that matter is
discontinuous.
• The four assumptions that he
made make up his theory of
atoms.
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
New System of Chemical Philosophy 1808

1) Matter is composed of small indivisible particles called


atoms.
● The atom is the smallest unit of an element that enters
into chemical combination.
2) An element is composed entirely of one type of atom.
● The properties of all the atoms of one element are
identical (particularly the mass) and are different from
those of any other element.
3) Compounds are formed by a combination of atoms of
two or more different elements joined together.
4) Chemical reactions simply change the way the atoms
are joined together. Atoms do not change their identities
in chemical reactions.
EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
● Different elements were made up of different atoms and this
explained the different properties of the elements.

● Law of Conservation of Mass (Lavoisier 1785) was consistent


with “unbreakable” atoms that underwent rearrangements in
chemical reactions.
● Law of Definite Proportions (Proust 1799)
○ all compounds have definite ratio by mass of elements of which they are
composed
○ nature has a definite “recipe” for every compound
EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
● Law of Multiple Proportions (Dalton 1808)
○ If two elements form more than one compound together, then the ratios of the
masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first
element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
○ oxygen and carbon combined to make two compounds
○ each has its own particular mass ratio of oxygen to carbon (1.33:1 and 2.66:1)
○ for the same amount of carbon, one has exactly twice as much oxygen as the
other

● Dalton formulated his atomic theory in an attempt to explain how


and why elements would combine with one another in fixed ratios
and sometimes also in multiples of those ratios.
THOMSON
• Experiments with cathode rays in 1897
• Cathode rays: streams of negatively charged
particles (electrons!)
→ led to the discovery of a fundamental building
block of matter – smaller than the smallest atom!

Cathode ray - Wikipedia


THOMSON

• Negatively charged particles (electrons):


- Mass about 2,000 times smaller than a hydrogen atom
- Had same mass to charge ratio regardless of metals and gases used to
produce them
→ Electrons were found in all substances and were always the same.
THOMSON’S ATOMIC THEORY
• Thomson also tried to show how the electrons were situated in the
atom.
• Since atoms were known to be electrically neutral, Thomson
proposed (1904) a model in which the atom was a positively
charged sphere studded with negatively charged electrons.
• It was called the “plum-pudding” model, since the electrons in the
atom resembled the raisins in a plum pudding.
RUTHERFORD

• In 1911, experiments with alpha rays


→ A new atomic model: a small, heavy
nucleus with electrons in orbit around it.
→ This nuclear model of the atom became
the basis for the one that is still accepted
today.

Ernest Rutherford
(1871 - 1937)
GOLD FOIL EXPERIMENT
• Over 98% of the
particles went straight
through

• About 2% of the
particles went through
but were deflected by
large angles

• About 0.01% of the


particles bounced off
the gold foil

GOLD FOIL EXPERIMENT (CONT.)
RUTHERFORD’S ATOMIC THEORY
● The atom contains a tiny dense center called the nucleus
○ the volume is about 1/10 trillionth the volume of the atom
● The nucleus is essentially the entire mass of the atom
● The nucleus is positively charged
○ the amount of positive charge of the nucleus balances the
negative charge of the electrons
● The electrons move around in the empty space of the atom
surrounding the nucleus

ATOMIC STRUCTURE
● Z = Atomic Number = number of protons in nucleus
○ For a neutral atom, number of protons = number of electrons

● A = Mass Number = sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

● Ions are atoms with a net charge due to gain or loss of electrons
○ Cations = positive = lost electrons
○ Anions = negative = gained electrons

● Given the atomic number, mass number, and the charge of an


atom, one can calculate the number of protons, electrons and
neutrons that make up that atom.

NUCLEAR STABILITY AND DECAY:
RADIOACTIVITY
Stable isotopes do not break down over time
Radioactive isotopes are unstable

● Decay to produce new


nuclei
● Emit different radiation
depending on decay mode
● Emission of
particles/energy known as
radioactivity
Nuclear Stability
Neutron:Proton (n/p) Ratio
● light elements (Z<20) n/p = 1:1
○ As Z increases, more neutrons are needed for stability
→ i.e. n/p increases
○ For heaviest stable isotopes, n/p => 1.5
● too high (too many neutrons)
○ beta decay
● too low (too many protons)
○ electron capture
○ positron emission
Mass
● too massive
○ alpha decay
Energy
● too much energy
○ gamma decay

Types of Radiation
● Alpha (α)

● Symbol: charge: +2 mass: 4 u


● Particles with two protons and two neutrons (Helium nucleus )
● Reduction of atomic number by two and mass number by four

● Beta (β)
● Symbol: charge: -1 mass: “0” (0.00055 u)
● High speed electron ejected from nucleus
● Negligible effect on mass number; increase atomic number by one

● Gamma (γ)
● Symbol: charge: 0 mass: 0
● High energy photons (bits of light)
● No effect on mass or charge
● Part of most nuclear reactions; release of pure energy
Types of Radiation (cont.)
MODES OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY
● Alpha Decay
● Beta Decay
● Gamma Decay
● Electron Capture
● Positron Emission
Note: we will not consider the energetics or the emissions of other
particles like neutrinos which are required for conservation of energy
and momentum, so our discussion that follows is approximate.

We also will not consider half life at this time


Alpha Decay
● Occurs for nuclei that are unstable due to large mass
number
● Nuclear reaction equations must conserve mass and
charge
● Every nucleus after Bi-83 is radioactive
Beta Decay
● Occurs for nuclei whose n/p ratios are too high
● Involves decay of a neutron to give proton and
electron. Electron is ejected from nucleus.

● Atomic mass stays approx. the same, atomic number


increases by one
● Example
Gamma Decay
● Energetic nucleus emits energetic gamma photon

● Usually associated with other nuclear transformations

● Nuclear charge and mass remains the same


→ No change in element
Positron Emission
● occurs when there are too many
protons in the nucleus of an
atom
= n/p ratio too low

● Mass remains approx. the


same, atomic number
decreases by one
Electron Capture
● occurs when (1) there are too
many protons in the nucleus of
an atom (= n/p ratio too low)
and
(2) have insufficient energy to
emit a positron

● Mass remains approx. the


same, atomic number
decreases by one
Decay Series for Uranium-238
Nuclear Fission
● involves splitting a heavy nucleus into two or more
smaller, lighter ones.
● emits a significant amount of energy and neutrons
Proton-proton chain
● One specific type of nuclear fusion (light atomic nuclei
combine to form heavier nuclei)
● Two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a larger
nuclei, nuclei/neutron by-products
● Also emits a significant amount of energy and neutrons

Writing Binary Ionic Compounds
• Binary Compounds are composed of two
elements.
• Rules for writing binary ionic compounds:
1. Write the symbols for the ions, and their charges.
Note: The cation is always written first.
2. Cross over the charges (use the absolute value of each
ion’s charge as the subscript for the other ion.)
3. Simplify the numbers and remove the 1’s.
Example: aluminum oxide
Al23+ O32–
The correct formula for aluminum oxide Al
is O

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds

● The name of the cation is given first,


followed by the name of the anion.
● Monatomic cations are identified
simply by the element’s name.
● For monatomic anions, the ending
of the element’s name is dropped,
and the ending -ide is added.

The Stock System
● Most d-block elements (transition
metals) can form 2 or more ions
with different charges.
● To name ions of these elements,
scientists use the Stock system,
designed by Alfred Stock in 1919.
● The system uses Roman numerals to
indicate an ion’s charge.
Example: Fe2+ iron(II)
Fe3+ iron(III)

Hint: “Uncross” subscripts to get the charges of the ions.
Be sure to verify the charge of the anion.
Classical name of transition metals
An older, less useful method for naming these
cations uses a root word with different suffixes
at the end of the word.

• The suffix -ous is used to name the cation


with the lower of the two ionic charges.

• The suffix -ic is used with the higher of


the two ionic charges.

• Using this system, Fe2+ is the ferrous


ion, and Fe3+ is the ferric ion.
A major disadvantage of using classical names
for ions is that they do not tell you the actual
charge of the ion.
