The Atomic Theory of Matter

John Dalton (1766-1844): • Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms

• atoms of different elementscan combine to form compounds

• atoms are not created nor destroyed in chemical processes

• all atoms of one element are identical

The Discovery of Atomic Structure

J.J. Thomson (1856-1940): • discovered the electron

• electron: negatively chargedparticles of very small mass

• atoms of all elements containelectrons

Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and IonsChapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

R. Millikan (1868-1953):

• measured electron charge (oil-drop experiment)

electron charge = 1.60×10−19 C

Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937):

(a) the atom has a positive charge concentrated in the nucleus

(b) the electrons orbit around the positive nucleus

(c) that the atom is mostly emptyspace

The nucleus is structured:

PROTONS: positively charged (+1)

NEUTRONS: no charge

Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and IonsChapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

The mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus:

•proton: 1 atomic mass unit (1amu) +1

•neutron: 1 amu 0

•electron: negligible mass -1 (5.486 x 10-4 amu) (1.6 x 10-19C)

MASS Charge

The Modern View of Atomic Structure

1 amu = 1.66054 x 10-24 g

Elements differ in their number of protons:

Hydrogen:1 proton

the mass number counts protons and neutrons

The Modern View of Atomic Structure

How about the neutrons?

• an element is defined by the number of protons

• atoms of one element can exist in different 'versions' :

all atoms must still have the same number of protons

but they may have a different number of neutrons

Periodic Table

Elements with similar properties fall in vertical groups

A row in the periodic table is called a period

Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and IonsChapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

Average Atomic Mass = Atomic Weight

Average Mass = fraction of heavy x mass of heavy + fraction of light x mass of light

= 3/4 x 70amu + 1/4 x 30amu

= 0.75 x 70amu + 0.25 x 30amu = 60amu

30amu

70amu

Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and IonsChapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

Average Atomic Mass = Atomic Weight

7Li

For example: Lithium AW = 6.939 amu

6Li Exact mass: 6.015 amu

Exact mass: 7.016 amu

Do the two isotopes exist in equal amounts ?

No, because the simple average of the isotope masses is:

(6.015 + 7.016) / 2 =

0.5 x 6.015 + 0.5 x 7.016 = 6.516

which is not the correct atomic weight

Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and IonsChapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

Average Atomic Mass = Atomic Weight

7Li

For example: Lithium AW = 6.939 amu

6Li Exact mass: 6.015 amu

Exact mass: 7.016 amu

Which isotope is more abundant?

It must be 7Li because the average massIs closer to the mass of the 7Li isotope

The average is weighted in favor of the more abundant isotope

Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and IonsChapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

Average Atomic Mass = Atomic Weight

7Li

For example: Lithium AW = 6.939 amu

6Li Exact mass: 6.015 amu

Exact mass: 7.016 amu

What are the fractions of the individual isotopes ?

X 6.015 + Y 7.016 = 6.939 X + Y = 1

X 6.015 + (1-X) 7.016 = 6.939

6.015 X + 7.016 – 7.016 X = 6.939

- 1.001 X = - 0.077

X = -0.077/ -1.001 = 0.0769

7.69% 6Li

92.31 % 7Li
