Law of conservation of mass
Chapter 2
In a chemical reaction, matter is neither
created nor destroyed, but changed
from one form to another.
The total mass of chemicals in your
reaction mixture will not change as long as
you do not add any more chemicals to the
mixture, or allow any chemicals to escape.

Law of conservation of mass

Law of definite proportions
All samples of a given compound,
regardless of where they came from or
how they were made, will have the
same proportions of their constituent
elements.
The make-up of a compound is a
fundamental aspect of it’s identity. No
matter it’s source, a chemical must be
made of the same pieces…

Law of definite proportions
Problem
Two samples of carbon monoxide are
decomposed into their constituent
elements. One sample produces 17.2 g of
oxygen and 12.9 g of carbon, while the
other sample produces 10.5 g of oxygen
and 7.88 g of carbon. Show these results
are consistent with the law of definite
proportions.
Water ALWAYS contains 16.0 g of
oxygen atom per 2.0 g of hydrogen.
Water out of your bathroom tap,
Quidi Vidi Lake, the Atlantic Ocean,
or on Mars ALWAYS has an
8:1 ratio of O:H by mass

Law of multiple proportions

Law of multiple proportions
When two elements (A and B) form two
different compounds, the masses of B
that combine with 1 g of A can be
expressed as a ratio of small whole
numbers.
This points to something fundamental
about how elements combine to form
compounds, in that elements often
combine in discrete integer combinations.

Atomic structure
Each element is made of tiny indestructible
particles called atoms.
All atoms of a given element have the same
mass and physical/chemical properties that
distinguish them from atoms of other elements.
Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios
to form compounds.
Atoms of one element cannot change into
atoms of another element. In chemistry atoms
can only change how they are bound to other
atoms.

What are these tiny, indestructible,
unchangeable particles called atoms and
what is there about them that makes them
different from each other that we call the
elements with different physical and
chemical properties?
It turns out atoms have several distinct

Through a delicate experiment Thompson showed
cathode rays have about 1/2000th the mass of a
hydrogen atom, the lightest element. Somehow the socalled indestructible atom is made of smaller pieces!
He deduced that cathode rays must carry a
negative electrical charge, and that all elements
must contain them (since it didn’t matter what
the cathode was made of)…

Plum pudding model
Thompson proposed
that the negatively
charged electrons
were distributed
throughout a
positively charged
sphere that held all
the electrons together
Just as importantly, he was able to deduce the
mass of one electron… it’s an incredibly small
9.10 x 10-28 g

Radioactivity

Rutherford’s gold foil experiment
Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie and others
studied the emission of small energetic
particles from unstable atoms… we call
this radioactivity.
Alpha (α) particles are positively charged
Beta (β) particles are negatively charged

Rutherford realized he could probe the
“plum pudding” with the positively charged
α particles. He
“shot them” at a

would deflect them

A few of the alpha particles were deflected
through large angles. Rutherford found it “about
as credible as if you
had fired a 15-inch
shell at a piece of
tissue paper and
it came back and
hit you.”
If the plum pudding model was correct,
then the positively charged particle should
pass through the
evenly distributed
charge of the atom.
This didn’t happen!

The nucleus
The positive charge of a nucleus actually
comes from the positive charges of one or
more protons.
The charge of a proton is of the same size
as the charge of an electron, but of
opposite sign 1.60 x 10-19 C.
However a proton has a mass 1836 times
bigger than that of an electron!
1. Most of the atom’s mass and its positive charge are in
a small core called the nucleus.
2. Most of an atom is actually empty space where the
tiny negatively charged electrons are dispersed.

Neutrons
The particles of an atom
If a nucleus contains more than one
proton, why don’t the positive charges
repel each other and the nucleus falls
apart?
Nuclei also contain neutrons, which have
no charge and are just slightly more
massive than the protons.
Neutrons act like “a glue” that hold protons
together.
All media copyright of their respective
owners
Relative charges ignore the magnitude of the charge and just
focus on the charge. We can do this since there has never
been seen a charge less than that of a proton or electron.
The atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as 1/12th of the mass
of a carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Atomic number Z

How much glue do you need?
We saw that atoms of an element have the
same properties and mass as other atoms of
that element, but they are different than the
atoms of a different element.
The fundamental difference between
elements is measured by the atomic number
Z. This number tells us how many protons
(and also an equal number of electrons)
an atom of that element contains.

How much glue do you need?
In other words,
Dalton’s definition of
the atom is partially
wrong. Not all atoms
of the same element
have the same mass
because they have
different numbers of
neutrons!
Isotopes
We call atoms of the same element that
have differing numbers of neutrons the
isotopes of that element.
We can easily describe all the fundamental
information about an element and it’s
isotopes by using three pieces of
information: the chemical symbol, the
atomic number and the mass number.

Isotopes
The chemical symbol X is a one- or two-letter symbol representing the
elements name.
For most elements the symbol connects easily to the English name:
C for carbon, Ne for neon, Cs for cesium, etc
For 10 of the elements the chemical symbol is actually based on the Latin
name for the element: Na for sodium (natrium), K for potassium (kalium), Fe
for iron (ferrum), Cu for copper (cuprum), Ag for silver (argentum), Sn for tin
(stannum), Sb for antimony (stibium), Au for gold (aurum), Hg for mercury
(hydragyrum) and Pb for lead (plumbum)
One element has a symbol based on it’s Swedish name : W for tungsten
(wolfram)
we can know how many neutrons are in the nucleus of that
given isotope.

As we saw before, the atomic number Z tells us how many
protons (or electrons) are in ANY atom of the element.
The mass number A tells us how many protons AND
neutrons are in the SPECIFIC ISOTOPE of the element.
Therefore if we calculate
A–Z

Isotopes
Isotopes of neon
Since the atomic number Z and the chemical symbol ultimately tell us
exactly the same thing (what element is this?) we often refer to an
isotopes name just by the chemical symbol and it’s mass number.
i.e. Ne-20, Ne-21 or Ne-22
All of them contain 10 protons (Z = 10 for neon).
The first isotope has 10 neutrons, the second isotope has
11 neutrons and the third has 12 neutrons.
All media copyright of their respective

Neon has three naturally occurring isotopes.
The natural abundance tells us the relative percentage of each
type of isotope we would find in a sample of that element.
For example, if I had a sample of 10000 neon atoms, I would find:
9048 of them are Ne-20 with 10 neutrons
27 of them are Ne-21 with 11 neutrons
925 of them are Ne-22 with 12 neutrons.

Atomic mass
Atomic mass
The concept of isotopes leads to an
interesting conclusion. The chemical
properties of an element are determined
by the number of protons and electrons in
that element, and NOT by the mass of the
element. If mass were a factor, then the
chemical properties of different isotopes of
an element would be different for each
isotope. They’re not!
All media copyright of their respective
owners
Because of different isotopes having
different masses and natural abundances,
it makes sense to assign an atomic mass
to each element that includes all isotopes.
The atomic mass is a weighted average.

Moles and molar mass
42
Mole
If the mass of an isotope does not affect
it’s chemical properties, then we are likely
more interested in how many atoms of
that element we have. The problem is how
do we count atoms? It turns out we can do
that by mass (since weighing is easy to
do). But we do need to know the
connection between mass and number of
atoms!
We saw earlier that the SI unit of amount
of substance is the mole (mol), which we
characterized as the “chemist’s dozen”

electrons, ions, or molecules.

Problems
Since the mole is a SI unit it actually has a
VERY specific definition:
How many atoms are there in 3.92 mol of
phosphorous?
“The value of the mole is equal to the
number of atoms in exactly 12 grams
of carbon-12”
Notice this connects a number of
atoms to the total mass they have!

Molar mass
We’ve seen the definition of the mole is
connected to a specific mass of carbon-12.
If we want to convert from a mass of a
substance to the number of moles of that
substance (or vice versa) then we would
need equivalent mass/moles relationships
for other substances. We call this the
The molar mass of any element, in
grams per mol (g mol-1 or g/mol), is
numerically equal to the atomic mass of
the element in atomic mass units.

chlorine was 35.45 amu.
