Introduction to Atomic Structure
Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes.
The type of matter that is changing and what types of changes it undergoes determines the field of chemistry that is being studied.
Branches of Chemistry
Physical Chemistry: the study of matter and the physics behind its changes

Matter
You will recall that we define matter as anything that has mass and takes up space.
Atoms of an element
Molecules of a diatomic element
Molecules of a compound
Mixture of elements and a compound
Dalton's Postulates
Building on Democritus' idea, in the early 1800s, English chemist John Dalton was the first scientist to observe the physical world and matter and via these observations, this draw some conclusions about atoms.
Dalton's Four Postulates
(1) Matter is made of atoms; atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
(2) All atoms of one element are exactly identical to one another; atoms of different elements are different from one another.
Various atoms and molecules as depicted in John Dalton's 1808 book:
A New System of Chemical Philosophy
Dalton’s Four Postulates
(4) Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine; a given compound always has the same relative number and kind of atoms.
Hydrogen Oxygen Water
(3) Atoms of an element are not changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
Law of Conservation of Mass
The total mass of substances present at the end of a chemical process is the same as the mass of substances present before the process took place.

26 Which one of the following is not one of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory?
A Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
B All atoms of a given element are identical
C Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
D Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine
E Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.

JJ Thomson’s Idea
He knew that the atom contained + and – charges.
The atom was like “Plum Pudding” a mix of + and - .
Ernest Rutherford (1911)
Gold Foil Experiment
Discovered the nucleus
The protons in the nucleus
Rutherford’s experiment
Used radioactive alpha particles to prove the existence of protons.(He+2)
Alpha particles (He+2) - positively charged pieces- helium atoms minus electrons
Shot them at gold foil which can be made a few atoms thick.

He thought the mass was evenly distributed in the atom

James Chadwick (1932)
James Chadwick (1932)
Discovered neutronsneutral particles in the
nucleus of an atom
Atom is mostly empty. Small dense,
positive piece at center.
Alpha particles are deflected by
it if they get close enough.
Mass Number
Mass number is simply the sum total of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Recall that electrons have insignificant mass compared to protons and neutrons.

Mass numbers are always whole numbersMass numbers are NOT on the Periodic Table Atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers
Figuring out number of neutrons in an element
The number of neutrons for any element can be found by subtracting the element's Atomic Number ("Z") from the element's Mass Number ("A")
A - Z = Number of Neutrons
Some elements can have many different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with the same Z but different A are called Isotopes.
Symbols
Symbols on the periodic table contain the symbol (letter) of the element, the mass number and the atomic number
The letter symbol refers to an atom with a specific number of protons.
# protons
# protons + # neutrons mass number

Remember, when the atom is neutral,the number of protons equals electrons
