The Elements
Atoms:
• make up all matter around us
• to date, 115 distinct kinds of atoms—
90 found in nature, remainder synthesized
Element
any material consisting of only one type of atom

Protons and Neutrons
Protons:
• carry a positive charge—same quantity of
charge as electrons
• are about 1800 times as massive as an
electron
• have the same number of protons in the
nucleus as electrons surrounding the nucleus
of an electrically neutral atom
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Protons and Neutrons
Electrons:
• are identical
• repel electrons of neighboring atoms
• have electrical repulsion that prevents atomic
closeness
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Protons and Neutrons
Atomic number:
is the number of protons in each element listed
in the periodic table.
Neutrons:
• accompany protons in the nucleus
• have about the same mass as protons but no
charge, so are electrically neutral
Both protons and neutrons are nucleons.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Isotopes and Atomic Mass
Isotopes:
• refers to atoms of the same element that contain the
same number of protons but different numbers of
neutrons in the nucleus
• identified by mass number, which is the total number
of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
• differ only in mass and not by electric charge;
therefore, isotopes share many characteristics
Total number of neutrons
in isotope = mass number – atomic number
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Isotopes and Atomic Mass
Atomic mass:
• total mass of the atom(s) [protons, neutrons,
and electrons]
• listed in periodic table as atomic mass unit
One atomic mass unit is equal to
1.661  10–24 gram or 1.661  10–27 kg

Identifying Atoms Using the
Spectroscope
Spectroscope:
• an instrument that separates and spreads
light into its component frequencies
• allows analysis of light emitted by elements
when they are made to glow—identifies each
element by its characteristic pattern
Each element emits a distinctive glow when
energized and displays a distinctive spectrum.

Identifying Atoms Using the
Spectroscope
Atomic spectrum
is an element’s fingerprint—a pattern of discrete
(distinct) frequencies of light.
Discoveries of atomic spectrum of hydrogen:
• A researcher in the 1800s noted that hydrogen has a
more orderly atomic spectrum than others.
• Johann Balmer expressed line positions by a
mathematical formula.
• Johannes Rydberg noted that the sum of the
frequencies of two lines often equals the frequency of
a third line.

The Quantum Hypothesis
Quantum Hypothesis
Max Planck, German physicist, hypothesized—
warm bodies emit radiant energy in discrete bundles
called quanta. Energy in each energy bundle is
proportional to the frequency of radiation.
Einstein stated that light itself is quantized. A beam of
light is not a continuous stream of energy but consists of
countless small discrete quanta of energy, each quantum
called a photon.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Quantum Hypothesis
Is light a wave, or a stream of particles?
Light can be described by both models—it exhibits
properties of both a wave or a particle, depending
on the experiment.
The amount of energy in a photon is directly
proportional to the frequency of light:

Explanation:

is equal to the difference in energy levels for the electron emitting
the photon—not its value at one energy level.

The Quantum Hypothesis
Using the quantum hypothesis:
• Danish physicist Niels Bohr explained the
formation of atomic spectra as follows:
—The potential energy of an electron depends on its
distance from the nucleus.
—When an atom absorbs a photon of light, it
absorbs energy. Then a low-potential-energy
electron is boosted to become a high-potentialenergy electron.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Quantum Hypothesis
Using quantum hypothesis:
• When an electron in any energy level drops closer to
the nucleus, it emits a photon of light.
• Bohr reasoned that there must be a number of distinct
energy levels within the atom. Each energy level has
a principal quantum number n, where n is always an
integer. The lowest level is n = 1 and is closest to the
nucleus.
Electrons release energy in discrete amounts that
form discrete lines in the atom’s spectrum.

Explanation:

The Quantum Hypothesis
Bohr’s model explains why atoms don’t
collapse:
• Electrons can lose only specific amounts of
energy equivalent to transitions between
levels.
• An atom reaches the lowest energy level
called the ground state, where the electron
can’t lose more energy and can’t move closer
to the nucleus.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Quantum Hypothesis
Planetary model of the atom:
Photons are emitted by atoms as electrons
move from higher-energy outer levels to lowerenergy inner levels. The energy of an emitted
photon is equal to the difference in energy
between the two levels. Because an electron is
restricted to discrete levels, only lights of distinct
frequencies are emitted.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Electron Waves
An electron’s wave nature explains why electrons
in an atom are restricted to particular energy
levels. Permitted energy levels are a natural
consequence of standing electron waves closing in
on themselves in a synchronized manner.
The orbit for n = 1 consists of a single wavelength,
n = 2 is of two wavelengths, and so on.

Electron Waves
For a fixed circumference, only an integral number
of standing waves can occur, and likewise in the
paths of electrons about the nucleus.
