4.1 Early Theories of Matter (& Early Chemistry – Alchemy and Related)4.2 Subatomic Particles & Nuclear Atom4.2.5 Ultimate Structure of Matter – The Standard Model (Not in Book)
Section 4.1 Early Ideas About Matter
• Compare and contrast the atomic models of Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton.
• Describe the activities related to the chemical sciences that occurred between the time of Aristotle and the early 19th century when Dalton’s theory was published.
• List the components of Dalton’s atomic theory.
• Explain how Dalton's theory explains the conservation of mass.
The ancient Greeks tried to explain matter, but the scientific study of the atom began with John Dalton in the early 1800's.
Section 4.1 Early Ideas About Matter
• Identify the components of Dalton’s theory that are not strictly correct and provide examples of why they aren’t.
• Name the two instruments that are routinely used to obtain images of atoms.
• Describe the basic operational principles of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM).
(Cont.)
Key Concepts• Democritus was the first person to propose the
existence of atoms.
• According to Democritus, atoms are solid, homogeneous, and indivisible.
• Aristotle did not believe in the existence of atoms.
• John Dalton’s atomic theory is based on numerous scientific experiments.
• The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the modified scanning transmission electron microscope (modified STEM) are instruments capable of atomic scale imaging.

Democritus Aristotle Boyle Lavoisier Dalton
Democritus Greek, 460-370 BC
First to propose matter was not infinitely divisible = concept of atom
Democritus, Greek Philosopher (460-370 BC)
His theory: Matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, eventually the smallest possible piece would be obtained
This piece would be indivisible
Named the smallest piece of matter “atomos,” meaning “not to be cut”
Democritus – Atomic TheoryTo him, atoms were small, hard particles that were all made of same material but were different shapes and sizes
Atoms were infinite in number, surrounded by empty space, and always moving and capable of joining together
Democritus’ Concept of Matter• Matter is empty space through which
atoms move• Atoms are solid, homogeneous,
indestructible, indivisible• Different kinds of atoms have different
sizes and shapes• Differing properties of matter are due to
atoms size, shape, & movement• Changes in matter result from changes
in groupings of atoms and not changes in atoms themselves
Aristotle Greek Philosopher (384-322 BC)
14 years old when Democritus diedBelieved matter made of 4 basic elements (earth, air, fire and water)Disagreed with Democritus - believed matter was continuous (did not accept idea of the “void”)His ideas endured for 2000 yrs
Alchemy for 2000 years
Aristotle believed any substance could be transmuted (transformed) into any other substance simply by changing relative proportions of the 4 basic qualities
This mindset dominated quest for new substances done by the alchemists
Alchemy for 2000 yearsIdea of transmutation laid foundation for alchemy Alchemists were searching for evolution from ignorance to enlightenment by searching for: • elixir of life (source of eternal life/youth)• philosopher’s stone (substance to turn base
metals into gold; also el. of life)• aqua vitae (“water of life” – concentrated
ethanol solution – whiskey etc)• panacea (substance meant to cure all
diseases)
During the search for ability to transmute matter (e.g., change lead into gold), they did a lot of good experimentation that laid foundation for modern science
Alchemy"The hopeless pursuit of the practical transmutation of metals was responsible for almost the whole of the development of chemical technique before the seventeenth century, and further led to the discovery of many important materials.”
http://www.levity.com/alchemy/
Alchemy
Popular belief is that Alchemists made contributions to the "chemical" industries of the day—ore testing and refining, metalworking, production of gunpowder, ink, dyes, paints, cosmetics, leather tanning, ceramics, glass manufacture, preparation of extracts, liquors, and so on
Alchemists contributed distillation to Western Europe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy
Science During 1600’s to1800’sScientists were discovering concepts and relationships by doing large, basic experiments with stoves, pots, ovens, and basic glassware, much of which had been developed by alchemists
With observable properties came explanations!
Robert Boyle 1627-1691
Sometimes referred to as Father of Modern Chemistry
One of first to publish all experimental details of his work, including experiments that did not work
Boyle revived Democritus’ ideas by proposing that a substance was not element if it were made of two or more components
Robert Boyle ~ 1660
Best known for his quantitative work with gases (Boyle’s Law)
Still believed in alchemy – that metals could be converted into gold
Was first to propose existence of elements in the modern sense
Boyle considered a substance to be an element unless it can be broken down into simpler substances
Marie-Anne and Antoine Lavoisier 1743-1794
Mother and father of modern chemistry?Studied various types of reactions involving oxygen: respiration, burning, rusting
Antoine Lavoisier (France) ~1760
Studied chemical reactions quantitatively
Credited with being first to propose law of conservation of matter
LavoisierWas sure that air contained > one elementWas able to determine amount of “reacting component” in air - named this component oxygen
Lavoisier
Pictured experiment demonstrates Law of Conservation of Mass
Lavoisier Law of Conservation of Mass
There is no detectable change in total mass of materials when they react chemically to form new materials
Mass of products will equal mass of reactants in a chemical reaction
During chemical reaction, matter neither created nor destroyed
Joseph Proust (France, 1754-1826)~1794 Studied chemical composition of compound copper carbonate (CuCO3)
Found all samples of CuCO3 had same relative composition of elements by mass: 5.3 parts Copper: 4 parts Oxygen: 1 part Carbon
This finding led to law of definite proportion
John Dalton (1766-1844)
A schoolteacher!
Devised Law of Multiple Proportions “when two elements form more than one compound, they come together in whole number ratios”
John Dalton (1766-1844)Used work of Lavoisier, Proust, and Gay-Lussac to revive Democritus’ idea that matter was made of atomsBased much of his theory on• Law of Conservation
of Mass• Law of Constant
Composition
John Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Matter made up of atoms. Atoms of given element identical.
Atoms can’t be created, destroyed or divided.
Atoms may combine in the ratio of small, whole numbers to form compounds. In chemical reactions, atoms are separated, combined, or rearranged.
All atoms of one element have the same mass. Atoms of two different elements have different masses.
John Dalton’s Atomic Theory1. Matter composed of extremely small
atoms
2. Atoms of given element are identical
3. Atoms of different elements are different
4. Can’t be created, divided, or destroyed
5. Different atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds
6. In chemical reactions, atoms are separated, combined or rearranged
Dalton’s Atomic TheoryExperimental evidence
• looked at mass ratios of compounds
Theory explained conservation of mass
Element A Element B Compound AB2
mass = mA
mass = mA + mB
mass = mB
Dalton’s Atomic TheorySlightly wrong about• Indivisibility of atoms (subatomic particles)• All atoms of same element having identical
properties (isotopes)• Although atoms themselves not created or
destroyed, slight changes in mass occur as energy absorbed/released (thanks to James Kong & A Einstein)
• “Exotic” matter (neutron stars, plasmas, dark matter, etc) not composed of atoms as such (thanks to Adam Sorrentino)
Atom DefinitionSmallest particle of an element that retains the property of the element
This simple definition does not deal with the reality uncovered by modern nanotechnology research – individual atoms or small clusters of atoms of an element do not always behave in the same way as a bulk sample of the element
Imaging Atoms
Atom diameters ~ 0.1 to 0.5 nm (water molecule diameter ~0.3 nm)
Techniques exist to “image” atoms (not really “seeing” them in the conventional sense of the word)
Not readily available until STM commercialized (see following)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope
Schematic of STMhttp://www.iap.tuwien.ac.at/www/surface/STM_Gallery/stm_schematic.html
Based on “tunneling current”• Starts to flow when sharp tip
approaches conducting surface at distance of ~ 1 nm
• Current extremely sensitive to distance
Tip mounted on a piezoelectric tube• Allows tiny movements by applying a
voltage at its electrodes
STM Operation
Electronics control tip position so tunneling current (tip-surface distance) is kept constant while scanning a small area of the sample
Movement recorded - displayed as an image of the surface topography
Under ideal circumstances individual atoms of a surface can be resolved
STM
STM – Moving Atoms
Modified STM can be used as a tool for picking up, moving, and putting down atoms
Imaging Atoms: Modified Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope
In 2002, IBM researchers and their collaborators modified an electron microscope; allowed clear images at the atomic scale to be madeModified electron microscope is second major instrument to provide images of atomsCan’t be used to move atoms like STM type instruments

Chapter 4 (Partial)Structure of the Atom
4.1 Early Theories of Matter
4.2 Subatomic Particles & Nuclear Atom
4.2.5 Ultimate Structure of Matter – The Standard Model (Not in Book)
Section 4.2 Defining the Atom
• Define atom. • Distinguish between the subatomic particles in terms
of relative charge and mass.• Describe the structure of the atom, including the
locations of the subatomic particles and the relative sizes of the atom and the nucleus.
• Identify the scientists that contributed to the discovery of the nature of the atom and be able to describe their specific contribution and the experiment on which their discovery was based.
An atom is made of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons; electrons move around the nucleus.
Key Concepts
• An atom is the smallest particle of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
• Electrons have a 1– charge, protons have a 1+ charge, and neutrons have no charge.
• An atom consists mostly of empty space surrounding the nucleus; the size of the atom relative to the size is the nucleus is about 10,000.
Section 4.2 Defining the Atom
Crookes (Cathode Ray) TubeSee page 92, Figure 4-7
Effect of Electric and/or Magnetic Fields on Electron Trajectory
Discovering the Electron
From cathode ray tube experiments, it was determined that rays:
• Were actually stream of charged particles• Carried negative charge
J J Thomson
Discovering the ElectronThomson (1856-1940)
• Measured effect of electric and magnetic fields on cathode ray to determine ratio of charge to mass (q/m) for electron
• From comparison with known (q/m) values, concluded that electron mass much less than hydrogen atom must be a subatomic particle
• Did not determine actual value of mass
Discovering the Electron
Millikan (1868-1953)• Determined charge on electron
from oil drop experiment (see following)• From mass/charge ratio (previously determined by Thomson), calculated electron mass, me
me = 1/1840 mass of hydrogen atom
Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment
Ions produced by energetic radiation (X-rays)
Some ions attach to oil droplets, giving them a net charge
Fall of droplet in electric field between the condenser plates is speeded up or slowed down, depending on the magnitude and sign of charge on droplet
Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment
Electrically charged condenser plates
Atomizer
Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment
Analyzed data from a large number of droplets
Concluded that the magnitude of charge (q) on a droplet is an integral multiple of electronic charge (e)
q = n e
(where n = 1, 2, 3, . . . ).
AKA “chocolate chip cookie dough” modelProposed by Thomson
Plum Pudding Atomic Model
Smeared out “pudding” of positive charge with negative electron “plums” imbedded in it

Nuclear Atom (Rutherford)Rutherford devised test to distinguish between plum pudding and nuclear models
• Plum pudding – cloud of positive charge• Nuclear – concentrated positive charge
Plum pudding model advantage: + charges can avoid each otherAlpha particle deflection from gold foilConcluded that there must be nucleus

Alpha ParticlesStriking Screen
Rutherford Scattering Experiment
Most go straight through
Some deflected
Some bounced back!
Rutherford Scattering ExperimentOver 98% of alpha particles went straight through
About 2% of alpha particles went through but were deflected by large angles
About 0.01% of alpha particles bounced off gold foil
“...as if you fired a 15” canon shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.”
Rutherford Scattering Experiment
Alpha particles should pass right through the atoms with minimum deflection
Expected Result(plum pudding)
Rutherford Scattering Experiment
Expected Result(plum pudding)
Actual Result(nuclear model)
Rutherford ConclusionsAtoms contain a positively charged, small core, called nucleus
Note: structure of nucleus (as protons) not yet known
Most of atom is empty space
Discovery of Protons
Protons (discovered 1920 – Rutherford)
• Nucleus contained positively charged particles called protons• Charge equal and opposite to that of electron
Missing Anything?
Shouldn’t protons repel each other?
Since electrons weigh nothing compared to protons…
If beryllium atom has 4 protons, mass should be ~ 4 amu
Actual mass 9.01 amu! Where is extra mass coming from?
Need more experiments!
Discovery of Neutron
Neutron (discovered 1932 – James Chadwick)
• Nucleus contained subatomic particles called neutrons
• No charge• Mass nearly equal to
that of proton
General Features of the Atom
Nuclear Atom – Relative Sizes
If entire atom were represented by a room, 5 m x 5 m x 5 m, the nucleus would be about the size of a period in the textbook
Nucleus diameter is ~ 1/10,000 diameter of an atom

Beyond proton/neutron/electron Picture Textbook, page 114
“... scientists have determined that protons and neutrons have their own structures. They are composed of subatomic particles called quarks. These particles will not be covered in this textbook because scientists do not yet understand if or how they affect chemical behavior. As you will learn in later chapters, chemical behavior can be explained by considering only an atom’s electrons .”
Beyond proton/neutron/electron Picture (not in book)
To understand nucleus and how some nuclear radiation processes occur, need to examine both structure of nucleons (proton, neutron) and forces acting at nuclear distances
The standard model of physics attempts to describe all known forces and elementary particles
What Is Matter ?Matter is all the “stuff” around you!
Big picture (from standard model):
Hadrons
Matter
Leptons
Baryons Mesons Charged Neutrinos
Forces
Weak EM
StrongGravity
QuarksAnti-Quarks
Elementary Particles
Standard Model SummaryThe Standard Model (SM) is our current best description of the particles of which matter is made and the forces which govern these particles
SM describes 4 fundamental forces
SM describes 12 elementary particles: 6 kinds of quarks and 6 kinds of leptons (not counting anti-particles)
Particles come in two major categories: hadrons and leptons
Hadrons
Particles Built from Quarks - Hadrons
Hundreds of hadrons have been observed
Except for proton & neutron, they are unstable - half lives < 0.1 sFree neutron (outside nucleus) is unstable – half life 10.2 min
Particles in Standard ModelSix leptons are all elementary particles – includes the electron
All other particles (hadrons) are composed of combinations of quarks (6 kinds) – isolated quarks are not permitted
Class of hadrons called baryons composed of 3 quarks – includes proton & neutron
Class of hadrons called mesons composed of 2 quarks (quark + anti-quark)
“Ordinary” matter
Dimensions of Subatomic Particles
If protons and neutrons were 10 cm across, then quarks and electrons would be < 0.1 mm in size and entire atom would be ~ 10
km across

(YIKES)
Why does matter appear to be so rigid ?
Forces, forces, forces !!!!
Primarily strong and electromagnetic forces which give matter its solid structure
Strong force defines nuclear size
Electromagnetic force defines atomic size
Standard ModelFour Fundamental Forces
In order of decreasing strength:Strong – binds nucleons Electromagnetic – “opposites attract”Weak – involved in radioactive decay (beta decay)Gravity
Forces arise through exchange of a mediating field particle (a boson)
Four Fundamental Forces
?
Forces and ParticlesGravity and electromagnetic force act between all particles with mass and charge, respectively
Leptons not composed of quarks, so aren’t subject to strong force, but are subject to weak force
Quarks subject to all four forces
Attractive force between nucleons (protons, neutrons) is byproduct of strong force, since nucleons are composed of quarks
The Nucleus
Concentrated positive charge in nucleus
Nucleus should repel and blow apart
But nucleons have a deeper structure
Proton Neutron
Standard Model - ForcesNeutrons and protons in nucleus held together by strong force, which has a short rangeStrong force able to overcome strong electric repulsion of + charged protonsElectromagnetic (EM) force between charged particles (electrons attracted to nucleus) Weak force involved in neutron decay – involves changing one type of quark into 2nd type with electron emission Matter mostly empty space; forces, especially EM forces, make it seem like it isn’t

Down quark has charge –1/3 and mass of (approximately) 1/3
Mass = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1Charge = 2/3 + 2/3 – 1/3 = +1
The Proton – Not Elementary
The Neutron – Not Elementary
Neutron also made of three quarks

Neutrons can decay
Matter - Elementary Particles
Proton & neutron are both baryons
Proton: 2 up quarks and 1 down quark
Neutron: 1 up quark and 2 down quarks
The three elementary particles that make up ordinary matter (atoms) are the up quark, the down quark, and the electron
Physicist’s perspective: ordinary matter is composed of 2 kinds of baryons and one type of lepton

Example of weak force, of which W– is the boson
Antimatter – Paul DiracIn 1928, wrote down equation which combined quantum theory (developed in 1920s by Schrodinger and Heisenberg) and special relativity (1900s, Einstein), to describe behavior of electron
Equation could have two solutions, one for electron with positive energy, and one for electron with negative energy
But in classical physics (and common sense!), energy of particle must always be a positive number!
http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/history/AM-history01.html
Antimatter – Paul DiracDirac interpreted this to mean that for every particle that exists there is a corresponding antiparticle, exactly matching the particle but with opposite charge
For electron, for instance, there should be an "antielectron" identical in every way but with a positive electric charge
In Nobel Lecture, Dirac speculated on existence of completely new Universe made out of antimatter!
http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/history/AM-history01.html
Antimatter – Carl Anderson1932, young professor at Caltech, studied showers of cosmic particles in cloud chamber; saw track left by "something positively charged, and with the same mass as an electron"
After nearly 1 year of effort and observation, decided tracks were actually antielectrons, each produced alongside an electron from impact of cosmic rays in cloud chamber
Called antielectron "positron", for its positive charge. discovery gave Anderson the Nobel Prize in 1936 and proved existence of antiparticles as predicted by Dirac http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/history/AM-history01-a.html
Anderson's cloud chamber picture of cosmic radiation from 1932 showing for first time the existence of anti-electron
Particle enters from bottom, strikes lead plate in middle and loses energy as can be seen from greater curvature of upper part of track

Antimatter – Carl Anderson
Standard Model DevelopmentDeveloped and verified by careful analysis of high energy physics experiments (particle accelerators and colliders) along with further development and refinement of quantum mechanics
Also requires improved experimental equipment, methods, analysis techniques
Current WorkLarge accelerator experiments at Fermilab (Illinois) [stopped operation Oct 2011] and at CERN (Switzerland/France) in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) done to search for new particles and test Standard Model predictions
LHC Technology Review (MIT) May/June 2008 By Jerome Friedman
The recently completed Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator and most ambitious scientific instrument, is being readied to address some of the deepest questions in physics. Hundreds of feet below the surface of the earth, straddling the Swiss-French border near Geneva, it will smash counter-rotating, seven trillion-electron-volt beams of protons against one another in a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets.
LHC With this immense energy, the LHC will be capable of producing new types of particles that are thousands of times heavier than the proton. And it will enable physicists to study phenomena at one-ten-billionth the scale of the atom.
The science will be carried out with five multisystem particle detectors, the most massive of which are Atlas and CMS. Atlas is comparable in size to a seven-story building, 135 feet long and 75 feet wide; CMS, a somewhat smaller but heavier detector, weighs more than one and a half times as much as the Eiffel Tower.
