1.2 Atomic Structure (Time needed: 6 class periods) Learning outcomes • Matter is composed of particles, which may be atoms, molecules or ions. • Atoms. Minute size of atoms. • Law of conservation of mass. DIFFUSION- evidence for the existence of small particles • SPREADING OUT OF GASES • COLOUR OF INK SREADING OUT WHEN MIXED WITH WATER • HYDROGEN CHLORIDE AND AMMONIA SOLUTION AMMONIUM CHLORIDE law of conservation of mass/matter •The law of conservation of mass/matter, also known as law of mass/matter conservation says that the mass of a closed system will remain constant, regardless of the processes acting inside the system. •Matter cannot be created/destroyed, although it may be rearranged. •For any chemical process in a closed system, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. Learning Outcomes •Very brief outline of the historical development of atomic theory (outline principles only; mathematical treatment not required): Dalton: atomic theory; •Crookes: vacuum tubes, cathode rays; •Stoney: naming of the electron; •Thomson: negative charge of the electron; e/m for electrons (experimental details not required); •Millikan: magnitude of charge of electrons as shown by oil drop experiment (experimental details not required); •Rutherford: discovery of the nucleus as shown by the α−particle scattering experiment; •discovery of protons in nuclei of various atoms; •Bohr: model of the atom; •Chadwick: discovery of the neutron.

JJ THOMPSONS APPARATUS JJ THOMPSON • Used a magnetic field from an electromagnet to deflect the electrons • Calculated the ratio of charge to mass for electron GEORGE STONEY • NAMED PARTICLES ELECTRONS ROBERT MILLIKAN • Famous oil-drop experiment • It measured the charge on the electron • X-rays ionised air molecules by striping electrons off their atoms. • Oil droplets picked up electrons became negative • Increased the + charge until the droplet hovered. • Took measurements and calculated the charge on the electron. ROBERT MILLIKAN ROBERT MILLIKAN THOMPSON’S ATOM • ATOM A SPHERE OF POSITIVE CHARGES WITH NEGATIVE ELECTONS EMBEDDED ERNEST RUTHERFORD • Fired thin alpha particles at a tin gold foil • Thompsons plum pudding model predicted that they would pass thru’ with little deflection RUTHERFORD’S EXPT Go to Atom video • RUTHERFORD’S EXPT EXPECTED RESULT • ALPHA PARTICLES SHOULD PASS THROUGH WITH LITTLE DEFLECTION + ++ ACTUAL RESULT • Most pass through undeflected • Some were deflected at large angles • Some bounced right back! EXPLANATION • • • • Observation 1 Most pass through undeflected Deduction Atoms are mostly empty space. EXPLANATION • Observation 2 • Some were deflected at large angles • Deduction • The positive alpha particles had hit something positive EXPLANATION • • • • Observation 3 Some bounced right back! Deduction Hard dense core of positive matter in the center of each atom-nucleus THE PROTON • Rutherford continued to bombard different elements such as nitrogen and oxygen • Small positive particles were given off--PROTONS THE NEUTRON • James Chadwick bombarded beryllium with alpha particles. • Small particles were given off which were neutral and had the same mass as the proton—the neutron. Bohr’s atom • Electrons travel in orbits around the nucleus Learning Outcomes • Properties of electrons, protons and neutrons (relative mass, relative charge, location within atom). Proton • Protons are positively charged particles found within atomic nucleus Learning Outcomes Atomic number (Z ), mass number (A), isotopes; hydrogen and carbon as examples of isotopes. Relative atomic mass (A r). The 12C scale for relative atomic masses. Atomic number • Also called proton number, this is the number of protons the atom has Atomic number • Also called proton number, this is the number of protons the atom has The Number of Electrons • Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. In our example, an atom of krypton must contain 36 electrons since it contains 36 protons. Mass number •Mass Number = (Number of Protons) + (Number of Neutrons) Isotope • Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes Hydrogen isotopes • The element hydrogen for example, has three commonly known isotopes: protium, deuterium and tritium Deuterium •an atom of deuterium consists of one proton one neutron and one electron Tritium • An atom of tritium consists of one proton two neutrons and one electrons Relative Atomic Mass • The relative atomic mass of an element the mass of one of the element's atoms -- relative to the mass of an atom of Carbon 12, Learning Outcomes • Calculation of approximate relative atomic masses from abundance of isotopes of given mass number (e.g. Calculation of approximate relative atomic mass of chlorine). Chlorine •Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37 are both isotopes of chlorine Relative mass of chlorine • Chlorine consists of roughly 75% Chlorine-35 and roughly 25% Chlorine-37. We take an average of the two figures The relative atomic mass of chlorine is usually quoted as 35.5. Learning outcomes • Use of the mass spectrometer in determining relative atomic mass. • Fundamental processes that occur in a mass spectrometer: • vaporisation of substance, • production of positive ions, • acceleration, separation, • detection (mathematical • treatment excluded). THE MASS SPECTROMETER • Atoms can be deflected by magnetic fields - provided the atom is first turned into an ion. Stage 1: Ionisation • The atom is ionised by knocking one or more electrons off to give a positive ion. Stage 2: Acceleration • The ions are accelerated so that they all have the same kinetic energy. Stage 3: Deflection • The ions are then deflected by a magnetic field according to their masses. The lighter they are, the more they are deflected. Stage 4: Detection • The beam of ions passing through the machine is detected electrically.
