BELL WORK: TUESDAY 2/7/12 On the front table there is a stack of papers titled “Mercury: Mysterious and Deadly”. Get one of these papers It is an article that you will read silently There are 7 questions you will answer by yourself on the back. On your Bell Work for “Tuesday” you need to write “ARTICLE” MERCURY: MYSTERIOUS AND DEADLY QUESTIONS How did Mercury get the nickname “quicksilver”? What did alchemists struggle to make using mercury and sulfur? Many people over time were found to have health problems. What was eventually found to be the cause of it? What type of ef fects happen to people surrounded by mercury? High School Chemistry Story Why is vacuuming a mercury spill not the best way to clean up a mercury spill? Middle School Story What does this article have to do with Chemistry? Why would your teacher have you read an article like this? …describe the atom as the basic building block of matter …identify substances based on their physical and chemical properties …identify the bonds that hold atoms together and describe properties associated with these bonds …describe how the elements are arranged on the Periodic Table of Elements …sort elements based on their physical & chemical properties …separate mixtures into their basic components Questions to Consider: What do you hope to accomplish throughout the upcoming Chemistry unit? What goals do you have for the rest of the 2 nd semester? What long-term goals do you have for science? WHAT IS AN ATOM?- PAGE 1 Atom- basic building block of all matter All substances are made up of matter Smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element 5.1 - TSW explain that matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms. STRUCTURE OF AN ATOM Nucleus- tiny, central core of an atom Contains protons (positively-charged) Containing neutrons (with no/neutral charge) Electrons move around the nucleus in electron cloud BELLWORK: WEDNESDAY 2/8/12 Get a book off the front table and the pink packet. Begin working on page 1 – the Nature of Science Vocab. Be sure to have the definition of each word written down You will only be given 10 minutes to work on this. Whatever is not finished today will be done as homework. Electron- negatively charged; located outside of the nucleus; negligible mass (very small) revolve Subatomic Particles- Electrons around nucleus in particles that make imaginary paths called up an atom orbits or shells Proton- positively Valence electronscharged; located in electrons that are the nucleus farthest away from the Neutron- neutrally nucleus (in the outside charged; located in shell) nucleus THE ROLE OF ELECTRONS Electrons… …move around the nucleus very fast …have a HUGE space to move around in …are different distances from the nucleus …form a negatively charged cloud around the nucleus …travel in paths called orbitals …cannot be exactly located at a particular moment- probably do (probability) Imagine the blades of a moving fan…where are they exactly? D FILL IN THESE ON PAGE 1 Fill in the picture on page 1 with the appropriate subatomic particle names, charges, and locations in the atom. A C B A B C D Subatomic Particle Proton Neutron Electron Valence Electron Charge Positive (+) Neutral (0) Negative (-) Negative (-) Location in atom Inside nucleus Inside nucleus Outside nucleus Outside nucleus; outer “valence” shell LITTLE PARTICLES, BIG SPACES Imagine standing at the pitcher’s mound in a baseball stadium. If the nucleus were the size of a pencil eraser, the electrons could be in the outfield or the top row of seats! ATOMIC NUMBER Atomic Number- the unique number of protons in a nucleus # of (+) protons = # of (-) electrons Atoms are neutrally charged (not positive or negative) Ex: Every Carbon atom has 6 protons How many electrons in a Carbon atom? 6 (# of (+) protons = # of (-) electrons) Atomic Mass- the average mass of one atom of an element; protons + neutrons Atomic mass units (amu)- unit for measuring very small mass of subatomic particles Proton mass = 1 amu Neutron mass = 1 amu Electron mass = 1/2000 amu ~2000 electrons = 1 amu Most of an atom’s mass is in its nucleus CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING Gold, Au, has an atomic number of 79 How many protons? 79 How many electrons? 79 Gold, Au, has an atomic At your party you need 10 pizzas to mass of 196.97 How many neutrons? 196.97 – 79 = 117.97 How many amu’s 79 + 117.97 = 196.97 feed everyone. You buy 6 pizzas. How many pizzas must other people provide if you are going to have 10 total? The total # of pizzas is like the atomic mass. Protons bring some of the mass, and neutrons bring the rest. Electrons don’t really bring anything!!! WHAT IS AN ELEMENT? Element- Substance made up of one kind of atom Cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical and physical means All listed in the Periodic Table ~82 naturally-occurring elements ~31 synthetically prepared (artificially-made) elements Germanium Sulfur Mercury “Element” = Carrot Imagine chopping a carrot into smaller and smaller pieces. You would eventually reach a point where you could not cut anymore because the pieces were so small. But, those small pieces still have the properties of the larger carrot (taste, color, etc.). Element = Aluminum Imagine cutting Aluminum (Al) into smaller and smaller pieces. When you can no longer divide it, they are Al atoms. But, they still have the properties of Aluminum (shiny, silver color, fragile, thin, etc.) MOLECULES VS. COMPOUNDS When atoms bond together, they form: Molecule – a combination of 2 or more of the same or different atoms that are bonded together Ex: H 2 O, NaCl, H 2 , O 2 , O 3 , N 2 Diatomic Molecule- made of two of the same atoms Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Oxygen, Iodine, Chlorine, Bromine H2 O2 F2 Br2 I2 N2 Cl2 HOFBrINCl twins; I Have No Bright Or Clever Friends; Hydrogen; the rest form a 7 on the periodic table: N, O, F across, then going down Cl, Br, I Compound – a molecule that contains atoms or molecules of two or more different elements Ex: H 2 O, C 6 H 12 O 6 , CH 4 BELLWORK: THURSDAY 2/9/2012 Fill these in on page 1 Fill in the following chart with the appropriate subatomic particle names, charges, and locations in the atom. D A C B A B C D Subatomic Particle Proton Neutron Electron Valence Electron Charge Positive (+) Neutral (0) Negative (-) Negative (-) Location in atom Inside nucleus Inside nucleus Outside nucleus Outside nucleus; outer “valence” shell WHAT IS A THEORY AND HOW DO YOU MAKE ONE? Hypothesis – an educated guess, based on observation Theory – summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. This answers the question of “why” This is valid as long as there is not evidence to dispute it. Law – generalizes a body of observations. At the time it is made, no exceptions have been found. These explain things, but do not describe them. Does not answer “why” For a theory to become a law it must… Not have any evidence to disprove it Have a hypothesis that has been testing many different ways and times EVOLUTION OF THE ATOMIC THEORY PGS 2 & 3 Read the passages provided, and answer the questions about each scientist and their experiments.

They are in different energy levels; different distances from the nucleus 3. 32 electrons 4. Higher level = absorb/gain energy 5. Release (lose) EVOLUTION OF THE ATOMIC MODEL John Dalton (1802) Niels Bohr (1913) J.J. Thomson Ernest Rutherford (1897) (1911) Erwin Schrödinger & Louis de Broglie (1920’s - present) DEMOCRITUS (~400 BC) Who was he? A Greek philosopher Discovery: Matter can be cut into small pieces The smallest piece cannot be broken down anymore = an atom “Atomos” – Greek for uncuttable Everything is composed of atoms Atoms are always in motion Model: The atom is a small, solid sphere JOHN DALTON (1802) Who was he? British schoolteacher, meteorologist Experiment: Studied the atmosphere and the behavior of gases; he found they always combined in predictable ways. Discovery (1802): Each element is made up of atoms Atoms of the same element are the same. Atoms of different elements are different “Billiard Ball Model” (Pool Ball): The atom is a small, solid sphere BELLWORK: FRIDAY 2/10/2012 1. Where is the majority of an atom’s mass? 2. What subatomic particles compose the majority of an atom’s mass? 3. Tricky: What composes the majority of an atom’s volume? 4. Beryllium’s atomic number is 4, and its atomic mass is 9.01. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in one Beryllium atom? 1. Nucleus 2. Protons & Neutrons 3. Nothingness! Empty space around the nucleus 99.9% of matter is actually empty space! 4. 4 protons, 5 neutrons, 4 electrons, EVOLUTION OF THE ATOMIC MODEL John Dalton (1802) Niels Bohr (1913) J.J. Thomson Ernest Rutherford (1897) (1911) Erwin Schrödinger & Louis de Broglie (1920’s - present) J.J. THOMSON (1897) Who was he? A British scientist Experiment: Using a gas-discharge/cathode ray tube, he passed an electric current through a vacuum tube Saw a stream of glowing material!! Discovered that mysterious glowing stream would bend toward a positively charged electric plate The stream was made up of small particles that carried a negative charge-- electrons . Discovery (~1897): The negatively charged electron 2000 electrons = the mass of one proton The “Plum-Pudding Model”: Atoms are spheres filled with a positively charged fluid; electrons are scattered throughout Fluid = “pudding”; electrons = “plums” LORD ERNEST RUTHERFORD (1909-1911) Who was he? New Zealand physicist • Experiment: “The Gold-Foil Experiment” • Fired positively charged particles (called alpha particles) at a thin sheet of gold foil • Most particles went through, some bounced back, some were deflected Discovery (1909- 1911) : Atom is mostly empty space Positively charged nucleus in the center of the atom positive repels positive The “Planetary Model”: Dense, small, positively charged nucleus Surrounded by freely moving electrons NIELS BOHR (1913) Who is he? A Danish physicist Experiment: Known: Elements possess specific amounts of energy Light was given out when they were heated, but no one could explain why Bohr looked at line spectra (colored lines of light), which show energy being emitted. Energy was released when electrons moved from one shell to another Bohr suggested the electrons must orbit nucleus in fixed energy levels (or electron shells) Discovery (1913): Electrons move in fixed orbits around the nucleus (electron shells) Electrons exist in energy levels Atoms absorb or give off energy when electrons move from one shell (energy level) to another The “Bohr Model”: An electron's energy levels ( also called electron shells ) can be imagined as concentric circles around the nucleus ERWIN SCHRÖDINGER & LOUIS DE BROGLIE (1925 THROUGH PRESENT) Who were they? Louis de Broglie was a French scientist Erwin Schrodinger was a Austrian physicist Experiment/Observation: It is impossible to know the speed and exact location of an electron It is only possible to calculate the probability of finding an electron within a given space Discovery (~1925): Electrons travel in clouds around the nucleus Electrons can behave like waves or particles The “Electron Cloud Model” or “Quantum Mechanical Model”: There are no defined orbits of electrons around the nucleus, just areas where they “might” orbit ATOMIC THEORY TIMELINE- RECAP
