This concept established modern chemistry.

DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY OF
MATTER
1.
All matter is composed of
submicroscopic (extremely small) indivisible
particles called ATOMS.
2.
All atoms of a given element are
identical. The atoms of any one element are
different from those of any other element.
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY OF
MATTER
3. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a
chemical reaction. Chemical reactions occur
when atoms are separated, joined, or
rearranged. However, atoms of one element are
never changed into atoms of another element
as a result of a chemical reaction.
4. Atoms of different elements can mix
physically or can combine chemically with one
another in simple whole number ratios to form
compounds.
Dalton’s Theory

Based on
CAREFUL EXPERIMENTATION
DALTON’S MODEL OF THE ATOM
1803
Modern Atomic Theory

Not all aspects of Dalton’s atomic theory
have proven to be correct. We now know
that:
--Atoms are divisible into even smaller particles.
--A given element can have atoms with different
masses.
Some important concepts remain unchanged.
--All matter is composed of atoms.
--Atoms of any one element differ in properties
from atoms of another element.
What does this mean?
Not perfect...
but a workable theory to build on.

Scientists had been doing many

Ben Franklin flew his kite.
Faraday suggested that electricity

English physicist, J.J. Thomson
1856-1940
Discovered electrons in 1897
Thomson experimented with a
“cathode ray tube”
Thomson’s Cathode Ray Tube
Experiment

Thomson used

Rutherford’s Nuclear Atom
1911

Most of the mass of
an atom is in the
center…the
nucleus…with
electrons moving
around it.
Nuclear atom
By 1932, neutron was discovered, too.
 The nucleus is the central core of the
atom, composed of protons and neutrons.
Because, protons and neutrons have
much greater mass than electrons, almost
all of the mass of the atom is concentrated
in a tiny nucleus…a dime in a football
stadium!

Forces
in the Nucleus
• When two protons are extremely close to
each other, there is a strong attraction
between them.
• A similar attraction exists when neutrons are
very close to each other or when protons and
neutrons are very close together.
• The short-range proton-neutron, proton-proton,
and neutron-neutron forces that hold the nuclear
particles together are referred to as nuclear
forces.
What next?
We know the parts of the atom.
 We know about the nucleus.
 What about the electrons?

Bohr’s Model
LIGHT
provided the next
clues for the
structure of the
atom
Light has a Dual Nature
Like this
picture…
Young lady
or
Old lady?
Light is a wave
Electromagnetic radiation travels in waves.

As the wavelength increases, the frequency
decreases.

The greater the frequency the greater the
energy.
Light acts like Particles

Electromagnetic radiation also has the
properties of particles.

Bohr suggested that energy is emitted and
absorbed in discrete quantities called
Quanta or Quantum
packets or pieces of energy
“Jumps”
Dual Nature of Light is the next tool
for understanding the atom
Energy is directly proportional to
frequency…wave nature.
 Example: Light diffuses through small slits
 Einstein proposed that light consists of
quanta of energy that behave like particles
of light…he called these photons.
 Example: photoelectric effect…garage
door openers, film
This is the DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT

Demonstrate Quantum
Continuous Spectrum vs.
Line Spectrum
Emission Spectra



Line Spectra of elements
show discrete or quantized
energy levels in the atom.
These energy levels are
different for each element.
The color or wavelength of
light shows the energy level
because energy can be
calculated from frequency of
light emitted.
Quantum Leaps!
Electrons exist at low energy…
ground state
 Add energy to go to higher energy…
excited state
• Electron drops back down to ground
state as soon as it can
• It releases the exact energy it needed to
jump up as a photon of a frequency or
color.

Bohr’s Model of the Atom
1913




Bohr applied Quantum
Theory to the structure of
the hydrogen atom.
Quantum theory means
that electrons jump from
level to level.
Bohr pictured the
electrons spinning around
set orbits, like planets
around the sun.
Planetary Model
Schroedinger’s
Quantum Mechanical
(Today’s) Model
 We still have energy levels, like Bohr
 MATH is used as the tool to probe the
atom
 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
It is impossible to know the velocity and
position of a particle at the same time
 We can not know the exact location of an
electron.
 Any effort to do so, will change the position.
 We can only figure the probability of finding it
in a certain region.

Orbitals
Area where electrons are most likely to be
found.
 Example:
If your mom wants you to do some work,
she can find you in your room most of the
time, or the house, or the yard…but you
could be at the mall.
And sometimes her efforts to find you,
make you move!

The atomic number is the number of

The number of neutrons may vary.
An isotope is an atom that has the same number
of protons as other atoms of the same element,
but different number of neutrons.
Same atomic number = same element
Protons + Neutrons = Atomic Mass
Isotopes have different atomic masses, because
they have different number of neutrons.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE
•
Imagine that your semester grade depends 60%
on exam scores and 40% on laboratory
explorations.
•
Your exam scores would count more heavily
toward your final grade.
•
In this section, you will learn that the atomic
mass of an element is a weighted average of the
masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of that
element.
Relative Atomic Masses
•
The standard used by scientists to compare
units of atomic mass is the carbon-12 atom,
which has been arbitrarily assigned a mass of
exactly 12 atomic mass units, or 12 amu.
•
One atomic mass unit, or 1 amu, is exactly
1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
•
The atomic mass of any atom is determined by
comparing it with the mass of the carbon-12
atom.

Average Atomic Masses of
Elements
Average atomic mass is the weighted
average of the atomic masses of the
naturally occurring isotopes of an
element. It accounts for the relative
abundance of each isotope
Calculating Average Atomic Mass
• The average atomic mass of an element
depends on both the mass and the
relative abundance of each of the
element’s isotopes.
•
Calculating
Average Atomic Mass
• The average atomic mass of copper can be
calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of
each isotope by its relative abundance
(expressed in decimal form) and adding the
results.
• Copper consists of 69.09% copper-63,
which has an atomic mass of 62.9298
amu, and 30.91% copper-65, which has
an atomic mass of 64.9278 amu.
Calculating
Average Atomic Mass
• The average atomic mass of copper can be
calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of
each isotope by its relative abundance

• Copper consists of 69.09% copper-63,
which has an atomic mass of 62.9298
amu, and 30.91% copper-65, which has
an atomic mass of 64.9278 amu.
• (0.6909×
62.9298 amu) +
(0.3091 × 64.9278 amu) =
