ATOMS AND ELEMENTS Radioactivity • One of the pieces of evidence for the fact that atoms are made of smaller particles came from the work of Marie Curie (18761934). • She discovered radioactivity, the spontaneous disintegration of some elements into smaller pieces. ATOMIC COMPOSITION • Protons – + electrical charge – mass = 1.672623 x 10-24 g – relative mass = 1.007 atomic mass units (amu) • Electrons – negative electrical charge – relative mass = 0.0005 amu • Neutrons no electrical charge – mass = 1.009 amu – ATOM COMPOSITION The atom is mostly empty space •protons and neutrons in the nucleus. •the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. •Electrons are extremely small and occupy the space around the nucleus. Scientists • Chadwich Thomsom Becquerel Curie Rutherford Millikan Bohr The modern view of was developed by Ernest Rutherford the “Nuclear Atom” The modern view of the atom was developed by Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937). Screen 2.9 Atomic Number, Z All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, Z 13 Al 26.981 Atomic number Atom symbol Atomic weight Atomic Weight • This tells us the mass of one atom of an element relative to one atom of another element. • Define one element as the standard against which all others are measured • Standard = carbon • For example, an O atom is approximately 16 times heavier than an H atom. Mass Number, A • Mass Number (A) = # p + # n • C atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons is the mass standard = 12 atomic mass units • For a boron atom A = 5p + 5n = = 10 amu A 10 Z 5 B Isotopes • Atoms of the same element but different mass number (A). Boron-10 has 5 p and 5 n (10B) Boron-11 has 5 p and 6 n (11B) 11B 10B Masses of Isotopes determined with a mass spectrometer 11B Isotopes 10B • Because of the existence of isotopes, the mass of a collection of atoms has an average value. • Average mass = ATOMIC WEIGHT • Boron is 20% 10B and 80% 11B. That is, 11B is 80 percent abundant on earth. • For boron atomic weight = 0.20 (10 amu) + 0.80 (11 amu) = 10.8 amu Isotopes & Atomic Weight • Because of the existence of isotopes, the mass of a collection of atoms has an average value. • 6Li = 7.5% abundant and 7Li = 92.5% –Atomic weight of Li = ______________ • 28Si = 92.23%, 29Si = 4.67%, 30Si = 3.10% –Atomic weight of Si = ______________ Counting Atoms Chemistry is a quantitative science—we need a “counting unit.” MOLE 1 mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (atoms, molecules) as there are in 12.0 g of 12C. Particles in a Mole Avogadro’s Number Amedeo Avogadro 1776-1856 6.02214199 x 23 10 There is Avogadro’s number of particles in a mole of any substance. Molar Mass 1 mol of 12C = 12.00 g of C = 6.022 x 1023 atoms of C 12.00 g of 12C is its MOLAR MASS Taking into account all of the isotopes of C, the molar mass of C is 12.011 g/mol One-mole Amounts PROBLEM: What amount of Mg is represented by 0.200 g? How many atoms? Mg has a molar mass of 24.3050 g/mol. 1 mol 0.200 g • = 8.23 x 10-3 mol 24.31 g How many atoms in this piece of Mg? 23 atoms 6.022 x 10 8.23 x 10-3 mol • 1 mol = 4.95 x 1021 atoms Mg Periodic Table • Dmitri Mendeleev developed the modern periodic table. Argued that element properties are periodic functions of their atomic weights. • Today: element properties are periodic functions of their ATOMIC NUMBERS. Periodic Table History Henry Mosley- -Grouped elements in order of atomic number -credited with modern periodic table Came up with Period Law-physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers Modern Periodic Table Glen Seaborg- -Grouped elements according to their electron configurations -credited with periodic table as it looks today Modern Periodic Table Groups (families) o a vertical column i of elements. determined by # of valence electrons Modern Periodic Table Periods (a) n horizontal row of elements. -determined by the electron’s energy level.
