Atomic Structure
2.1: The nuclear atom
EI: The mass of the atoms is concentrated in its minute, positively
charged nucleus.
NOS:
1.Evidence and improvements in instrumentation – alpha particles
were used in the development of the nuclear model of the atom
that was first proposed by Rutherford. (1.8)
2.Paradigm shifts- the subatomic particle theory of matter
represents a paradigm shift in science that occurred in the late
1800s (2.3)

Atomic Structure
2.1: The nuclear atom
Understandings:
1. Atoms contain a positively charged dense nucleus composed
of protons and neutrons (nucleons)
2. Negatively charged electrons occupy the space outside the
nucleus
3. The mass spectrometer is used to determine the relative
atomic mass of an element from its isotopic composition.

NOS: Paradigm Shift
History behind Atomic Theory
• Democritus (420 BCE) first proposed the idea that
matter may be made up of small, indivisible
particles called atoms.
• Aristotle (384-322 BCE)
Greek philosopher; matter composed of earth, air,
fire, water. This view dominated thought until 17th
century
5
NOS: Paradigm Shift
History behind Atomic Theory
• Atomism developed in Chinese & Arabic cultures
during the Dark Ages in Europe.
• John Dalton (1766-1844) was the first to base
atomic theory on scientific evidence.
6
NOS: Paradigm Shift
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
• Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms.
• All atoms of a given element are identical. The
atoms of a given element are different from those
of any other element.
7
NOS: Paradigm Shift
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
• Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of
other elements to form compounds. A given
compound always has the same relative number of
types of atoms.
• Atoms cannot be created, nor divided into smaller
particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process. A
chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms
are grouped together.

NOS: Paradigm Shift
Evidence for sub-atomic particles
1897: J.J. Thomsen: Cathode Ray Tube
Evidence for electrons: Bent a stream of rays
originating from the negative electrode
(cathode). Stream of particles with mass &
negative charge.

NOS: Paradigm Shift
Evidence for sub-atomic particles
1909: Ernest Rutherford: Gold Foil
Evidence for protons & nucleus: Alpha
particles deflected passing through gold foil
10
NOS: Paradigm Shift
Evidence for sub-atomic particles
1932: James Chadwick: Beryllium
Evidence for neutrons: Alpha particles caused
beryllium to emit rays that could pass
through lead but not be deflected,

Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of
neutrons, thus they will have different atomic masses.
These are called isotopes of the element.
These are the same element, just different numbers of
neutrons and mass.

U3. The Mass Spectrometer
Mass Spectrometers:
Instruments that measure charge-to-mass ratio of charged particles.
Used to measure masses of isotopes as well as isotopic abundance
41
U3. The Mass Spectrometer
How a Mass Spec Works:
1. Vaporization: sample is heated to gas
state
2. Ionization: sample gas is turned into
ions by blasting free electrons to knock
electrons off from the gas atoms,
creating positive ions
3. Acceleration: increases the speed of
particles, using an electric field
42
U3. The Mass Spectrometer
How a Mass Spec Works:
4. Deflection: using an electromagnet to
create a magnetic field, amount of
deflection depends on mass and charge
of the ion (think of cars going around a
corner)
5. Detection: measures both mass and
relative amounts (abundance) of all the
ions present
