Study the patterns of nature.
 Develop models that fit the information.
 Test/Refine the models.

– Wind: It can’t be seen, but its force can be felt.
» The evidence of the wind is indisputable. This is
inference.
– Straw Men: Develop a model and then try to
destroy it.
– Models should reflect the properties of nature.

Law of definite composition: a
compound contains the same elements in
exactly the same proportions by mass
regardless of the size of the sample or
source of the compound.

Law of Definite Composition
Sugar (Sucrose) has the same composition regardless of
the size of the sample or source of the sample.

hydrogen.
100 Mg of sugar: 42.1 % carbon, 51.4 % oxygen, 6.5 %
hydrogen.

Law of conservation of mass:

In a chemical reaction, the mass of the
reactants is equal to the mass of the
products.
– Restated: In a chemical reaction, mass is
neither created nor destroyed.

Law of Conservation of Mass

Combination of Atoms:
– 32 g of S and 32 g of O2  64 g of SO2

Separation of Atoms:
– 434 g of HgO  402 g of Hg and 32 g of O2

Rearrangement of Atoms:
– 62 g of H2CO3  18 g H2O and 44 g CO2
» In every case, the mass of the products is equal to
the mass of the reactants!

Law of Multiple Proportions

The mass ratio for one of the elements that
combines with a fixed mass of the other
element can be expressed in small whole
numbers.
– This compares two substances made of the
same elements. For example, water and
hydrogen peroxide (both composed of
hydrogen and oxygen).

Law of Multiple Proportions
16g O2 + 2g H2  18g Water
 32g O2 + 2g H2  34g Hydrogen Peroxide

– Ratio of Oxygen in two compounds is:
32 g O2 = 2:1 ratio of oxygen
16 g O2

How do these 3 laws infer the
existence of atoms?
1.
Law of definite composition infers that
there must be small units (atoms) because
compounds always have the same percent
composition.
 In order for compounds to always have the
same percent composition, there must be a
“smallest unit” or particle of an element that
makes up the compound.

Atomic Inference
2.
Law of conservation of mass infers that
there must be atoms because the sum of
the reactants mass is equal to the sum of
the mass of the products.
–
–
This law is always true no matter how many
(or few) units of mass are used.
This infers that there must be a basic small
unit of nature (atom) that is being swapped
around during a chemical reaction.

Atomic Inference
3.
Law of Multiple Proportions infers that
there must be a small unit of nature
(atoms) because every compound
composed of the same elements can be
reduced to a simple mass ratio.
 That simple ratio is caused by the fact that
compounds are made of atoms, and when
atoms combine in small whole number ratios
it is reflected in the mass ratio.

Law of Multiple Proportions (Continued)
– This also infers that atoms of different elements
have different masses.
– This also infers that different atoms of the same
element have the same mass.

Together the 3 experimental laws
represented much of the quantitative data
that chemists had in the 1700’s.
 They implied the existence of what was to
become known as the atom.

– Atom is from greek “atomos” meaning
indivisible.

John Dalton was the first one to put all the
pieces together in 1805.

their physical and chemical properties.
Atoms of different elements have different
physical and chemical properties.

reactions.

Testing the atomic theory

During the next 200 years the atomic theory
was tested over and over again.
– One of the main ways of testing the atomic
theory was a device used during the 1800’s
called a Cathode Ray tube.
•The Cathode ray tube was essentially a
low pressure tube that had electricity
put through it. It produced a light
called a cathode ray.

Cathode: a negative electrode through
which current flows.
 Anode: a positive electrode through which
current flows.

– The reason for calling the light a cathode ray
was because it appeared to start at the cathode
and go to the anode.
– The cathode ray is the basis for today’s TVs
and monitors.

The search for smaller particles

Basic Discoveries made with the cathode
ray tube.
1. The ray originated at the cathode and goes to
the anode.
–
This infers that the ray is negative in charge.

The search for smaller particles
2. When a paddle wheel was placed in front of the
cathode ray it moved toward the anode.
–
–
This infers that the cathode ray must be composed of small,
individual particles that could push the paddle wheel down
the cathode-ray tube.
Late in the 19th century G. Johnstone Stoney named the
small, negatively charged particles electrons.

Based upon his
experiments and
observations, J. J. believed
that the atom was a solid
ball with electrons located
on the outer skin of the
ball.

Relationship between Frequency
and Wavelength

Wavelength is inversely proportional to
frequency. f  1/
Math Principle:
Whenever two factors are
proportional, they can be made equal
by multiplying by a constant.
The
constant for this relationship is velocity
(speed) so f = v/

 Plank discovered the constant that made it
equal, and the constant was named after
him. E = hf where h = Plank’s Constant
 Since E = hf, and f = c/, then E=hc/

The deBroglie Hypothesis

 From Planck we know E=hc/
 Therefore mc2=hc/
 Cancel c and mc=h/
 Now solve for 

wavelength. Interesting, eh???

Valence Notation
Valence Electrons: Electrons in the
outermost shell of the atom.
 Noble Gases: The outermost shell of the
atom is always full for a Noble Gas.
 Valence Notation: Start with the last Noble
Gas before the element and do the
shorthand notation from there.

Quantum Mechanics
As the Quantum Theory of Atoms advanced
it soon became apparent that locating an
electron was going to be impossible (see
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and
Electron Cloud).
 Soon a branch of math called Quantum
Mechanics was developed to help identify
areas of high probability of finding an
electron.

was soon apparent that there were four
energy levels instead of two:

Electron Configuration
A new way developed to describe all the
energy levels of electrons in an atom.
 Electron Configuration: Location of all the
different energy levels for all the atoms of
an element. (Also called Orbital Diagram)

– Orbital: Different lobes of the sub-shells.
– Spin: either clockwise ( ) or counterclockwise ( )
» Clockwise is lower energy, always goes 1st.

Electron Configuration
Conventions

There are two basic ways that electron
configurations are drawn.
– Each student may choose which to use.
– There is one box (line) per orbital of the subshell


Using boxes as orbitals:

Using lines as orbitals:

Treat the periodic table as a table of
electrons for this exercise. Follow the
same order as the electron configuration.
Each orbital can only hold two electrons.
Electrons are added in order of increasing
energy.
Pauli Exclusion Principle: no two
electrons can have the same energy levels.

Electron Configuration Rules

Hund’s Rule: the most stable arrangement of
electrons is that with the maximum number of
unpaired electrons, all with the same spin
direction.
– Within a sub-shell each orbital must have one electron
before any can have a second electron.
 Exception: Group 6 and Group 11 elements. These
steal an electron from the s sub-shell to have 5 electrons
in the d sub-shell.
 Apparently the d half-filled and filled sub-shells are a lot lower
in energy level.

Quantum Numbers


It had been known for some time that it was only
the outermost (valence) electrons that affected
the behavior of the atom.
A shortcut called quantum numbers was
developed to give the energy level of individual
electrons.

Primary Shell (n): There are 7 primary shells and
they are numbered 1-7.
Sub-Shell (l): 4 sub-shells, 0-3
