Atoms and Elements Chapter 2 Pgs. E34-E49 What are Atoms and Elements? pgs. E36-E43 Atoms aren’t a New Idea • Democritus (400 B.C.), a Greek philosopher, had a theory that matter is made of tiny particles that can’t be divided and are too small to see. • Aristotle also a Greek philosopher didn’t buy the theory Neither one based their theories on any experimental evidence. Democritus Aristotle John Dalton Early 1800’s Proposed an atomic theory of matter that was based on experimental evidence. Dalton’s atomic theory is that all matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Size of an atom. Atoms are tiny. Over five million atoms could fit on the head of a straight pin. Subatomic Particles Atoms are teensy weensy; however, there are even smaller particles on the inside of the atom. • nucleus – center of the atom • proton – positive charged particle inside of the nucleus • neutron – a particle inside of the nucleus with no charge • electron –a particle outside the nucleus with a negative charge Atoms • Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of that element. Niels Bohr proposed a model of the structure of an atom in 1913. Niels Bohr’s Atom Structure Model • Electrons circle the nucleus • The electrons path is called an orbit/energy levels • Low energy electrons orbit close to the nucleus • High energy electrons orbit farther away from the nucleus Protons and neutrons have a mass that is almost 2000 times the mass of an electron. Proton Man Electron Man The attraction between the positive charge of the protons and the negative charge of the electrons is part of what holds atoms together. • If an atom has more protons than electrons it has a positive charge. • If an atom has more electrons than protons it has a negative charge. • An atom that has an equal amount of protons and electrons is a neutral atom An element is a substance made up of only one kind of atom. Gold is an element 79 – atomic number = # of protons in one atom of that element Au – chemical symbol Gold- element name In your book look at the chart on Pg. E 41 to see some more common elements. Halogen/Salt Iodine I Metal Platinum Pt Gas Hydrogen H Metalloid Antimony SB Molecules Two or more atoms of the same kind linked together form a molecule that is in a pure state. Example: Oxygen O2 A molecule is also formed when two or more elements are linked together.

Lesson 2 pgs. E46-E49 Dmitri Mendeleev • Russian Chemist • Organized elements into an orderly table in 1869. The Period Table pgs. E46-E-47 • Elements are arranged in order of atomic number. • Elements with similar properties are in the same column • Elements on the left side of the table, except hydrogen, are metals • Elements on far right are nonmetals. • Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Check out these interactive periodic tables to learn more about the elements. I liked the second one better. http://www.chemicalelements. com/ http://www.chemsoc.org/visel ements/pages/pertable_j.htm Compounds A substance made of the atoms of two or more elements. Use your periodic table on pgs. E46-E47 to see if you can match the compounds and their names http://www.quia.com/mc/65800.html How to read a Formula for a compound 1. Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in an element or compound. 2. The atoms of each element are represented by one or two different letters. 3. When more than one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula. 2 atoms of Hydrogen + 1 atom of Oxygen + H2 + = 1 molecule of water = O = H2O More Chemical Compounds Carbon Dioxide > CO2 Ammonia > NH3 Sugar > C6H12O6 Rubbing Alcohol > C3H7OH Credits •faculty.washington.edu/smcohen/320/Democritus.jp g •www.windows.ucar.edu/people/images/aristotle.gif •http://web.gc.cuny.edu/ashp/nml/copenhagen/Bohr .jpg •nobel.scas.bcit.ca •http://education.jlab.org/atomtour/proton.gif •www.csudh.edu/oliver/chemdata/pt100mc.jpg •http://www.jaysgoldnuggets.com/gold/24pt9gma us.jpg •http://www.jergym.hiedu.cz/~canovm/vyhledav/ varianty/mendelej/mendeleev.jpg •
