Number of neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8
C-14
How many neutrons?
Atoms of the same element
with a different # of neutrons
Isotope
Atoms with the same atomic #
but different mass #
Isotope
Charge = +1, mass = 1 amu,
location = inside nucleus
Characteristics of Proton
Charge = 0, mass = 1 amu,
location = inside nucleus
Characteristics of Neutron
Charge = -1, mass = 1/1836 amu or
0.0005 amu, location = outside
nucleus
Characteristics of Electron
An atom that has gained or lost
electrons & so carries charge
Ion
Protons & Neutrons
Nucleons
Smallest bit of an element that
retains the properties of the
element.
atom
Electrically neutral.
# of protons = # of electrons.

electrons
Anion
Weighted avg. of masses of
naturally occurring isotopes of an
element.
Avg. Atomic Mass
Avg. atomic mass =
.75(35) + .25(37) = 35.5 amu
2 isotopes of Cl: 75% Cl-35 & 25% Cl-37.

Rutherford’s Experiment
Source: http://www.dlt.ncssm.edu/TIGER/chem1.htm#atomic
1) Most of the alpha particles went straight
through. Most of the atom is empty
space.
2) Some of the alpha particles were
deflected back. The nucleus was tiny,
but contained most of the mass of the
atom.

#atomic
Electron treated as a wave.
Never know exactly where it is.
Modern Model (Schrodinger or
Quantum Mechanical Model)
Ground state configurations
found in reference tables.
Cannot be predicted.
Bohr Configuration
2 electrons in energy level 1
8 electrons in energy level 2
1 electron in energy level 3
Bohr Configuration of Na = 2-8-1

electrons: Everything
except the valence electrons
Kernel
Electrons are restricted to specific orbits or
shells or principle energy levels.
Each shell holds a specific # of electrons.
Each shell has a specific energy & radius.
Energy of electron must match energy of shell.

Bohr model
An electron has absorbed heat, light, or
electrical energy and moved to a higher
energy level.
Unstable. Returns to ground state quickly
by emitting a photon.
Excited State
An excited state of O
2-5-1
An excited state of Li
2-0-1
Spectrum produced by holding a prism in
sunlight. Contains light at every
wavelength.
Rainbow
Continuous Spectrum
Visible light produced by electrons in atom returning
to ground state: light of only a few wavelengths is
present.
Each element has a unique bright line spectrum. Used
to identify elements.
Wavelengths of bright lines correspond to difference
between energy levels.
