Chemical Composition of the World: Atoms 101

“indivisible, uncuttable”All matter is composed of atoms which cannot be further split into smaller portionsAtoms are completely solidAtoms are homogeneous, with no internal structureBetween atoms there is empty spaceAtoms differ in size

The Modern Atom

Most of the atom is empty space.

Atomic radius = ~ 10-10 m

Nuclear radius = ~ 10-15 m

The Modern Atom

The atom is made up of three fundamental particles

The proton, p+

The neutron, n0

The electron, e-

Most of the mass of the atom is contained in the nucleus

The Modern Atom - Structure

A Small Dense Nucleus

Nuclear Radius: ~ 10-15 m (1 fm)

Density of the nucleus:

~ 100,000,000,000,000 gcm-3

Density of water = 1 gcm-3

The mass of the electron is ~ 1/2000 that of the proton and neutron – most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus

The Four Forces of Nature

There are only four fundamental forces found in Nature.

Two are macroscopic

- gravity

- electromagnetism

Two are microscopic

- strong nuclear force

- weak nuclear force

The Four Forces of Nature

Two are very weak and are not important for the structure of the atom

- gravity

- weak nuclear force

Two bind the atom together

- strong nuclear force

Chemistry and the Modern Atom

Atoms bind together using their electrons

Chemistry is based in the physics of electrons in atoms

We understand electrons in atoms well enough to understand chemistry at a high level

Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Chemistry 120

The Chemical Atom

Atoms are neutral – they have no electrical charge

There are equal numbers of protons in the nucleus and electrons in the atom.

The charges on the electron and the proton are equal.

Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Chemistry 120

The Chemical Atom

Atomic numbers and mass numbers

The chemistry of each element is determined by the number and energy of the outer valence electrons.

The atom is neutral and so the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

The Atomic Number, Z, shows number of protons in the nucleus.

Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Chemistry 120

The Chemical Atom

The order of the elements in the periodic table is in the order of increasing number of protons in the nucleus and therefore electrons in the atom.

The mass number is the atomic mass and we write an element as

where X is the chemical symbol, A is the mass number and Z is the atomic number.

For Helium, He,

Mass = 4

Isotopes

The number of protons determines the chemical identity of the element.

The number of neutrons in the nucleus does not affect the number of electrons and therefore the chemical identity.

Atoms which have different numbers of neutrons and the same number of protons are called

Isotopes

Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Chemistry 120

The mass of an atom A is given by

A = Z + N

Number of protons Number of neutrons

Isotopes have different masses but are chemically identical

To calculate the natural mass of the element, multiply the abundance of the isotope by the mass of the isotope and add:

The Periodic Table

The Periodic Table is an ordered array of the elements, with rising atomic number.

First written down by Dimitri

Mendeléev as a list of the

elements with increasing atomic

Mass. The elements naturally

grouped themselves by chemical

properties.

equal numbers of protons (in the nucleus) and electrons (outside the nucleus)

charge on the electron and proton is equal

Ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic forces between the ions – they are crystalline and there is no ‘minimum unit’ analogous to a molecule

Svante Arrhenius defined

an acid is a compound which dissolves

in water or reacts with water to give

hydronium ions, H3O+(aq)

a base is a compound which dissolves

in water or reacts with water to give

hydroxide ions, OH- (aq)

Svante Arrhenius

Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Acids, bases and salts

Acidic and basic solutions are formed by dissolution or by reaction.

Dissolution

- a compound containing hydronium ions, H3O+

(aq) or hydroxide ions, OH- (aq) dissociates and gives an acidic or basic solution

Reaction

- a compound reacts with water to form an acidic or basic solution

Chemistry 120

Atoms, Molecules and IonsOrganic Chemistry is the study of compounds composed of carbon, with H, O, N, P, S and X (X = F, Cl, Br, I). The name stems from the isolation of these compounds initially from living bodies – plants and animals.

In 1828, Friedrich Wohler synthesized urea from ammonium cyanate, organic from inorganic.

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are the basic compounds of organic chemistry and are simply compounds of carbon and hydrogen.

There are three types

Alkanes Alkenes Alkynes

Alkanes are termed saturated hydrocarbons, whereas alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated.

Chemistry 120

Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Carbon contains four electrons in the outer shell and

can share all four with other atoms or itself.

We say that the valence of carbon is four and so the simplest hydrocarbon is CH4, methane. We draw methane as

Isomers in organic chemistry

Every carbon atom has four bonds. With methane,

ethane and propane, there is only one way of

forming the hydrocarbon.

The structural formula is identical to the molecular

formula and there is only one way of writing the

structural formula, consistent with the molecular

formula.
