2.1 Basic Atomic Structure Guided Notes What is an Atom???
Atoms are NOT indivisible! They CAN be broken down into smaller particles. Protons, neutrons and electrons are __________evenly distributed in an atom.
• 1 amu (atomic mass unit)= 1.66 x 10-27 kg (also: 1/12th the mass of a carbon atom)
• The protons and neutrons exist in a _________________ core at the center of the atom. This is called the ___________________. The nucleus has a _______________________ charge because the protons have a positive charge and the ______________________ don’t have a charge!
• The _____________________________ are spread out around the edge of the atom. They orbit the nucleus in layers called ____________________. Electrons have a _________________________ charge.
• The ___________________ of an element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons and so have no overall charge, so if you can find it on the Periodic Table, it means it has a charge of __________________!!!
Atomic Number (Z) • The atoms of any particular element always contain the same number of _________________.
For example: hydrogen atoms always contain ____ proton and carbon atoms always contain _____ protons.
• The number of protons in an atom is known as the ______________ _______________. • It is the ______________________ of the two numbers shown in most periodic tables. • If the number of protons changes, then the atom becomes a different
____________________. • Changes in the number of particles in the nucleus (protons or neutrons) are very _________.
They only take place in ___________________ processes such as: radioactive decay, nuclear bombs or nuclear reactors.
Mass Number (A) • Electrons have a mass of almost _________________, which means that the mass of each
atom results almost entirely from the number of ______________ and neutrons in the nucleus.
• The ____________ of the protons and neutrons in an atom’s nucleus is the __________________ number. It is the _________________________of the two numbers shown in most periodic tables.
• That means in order to figure out the number of neutrons, you simply use the following:
Electrons • Atoms have no overall electrical charge
and are ____________________.
• This means atoms must have an equal number of _________________ and ____________
Subatomic Particle Charge Mass Location
Proton
Neutron
Electron
Drawing of an Atom
Mass Number= # Protons + # Neutrons
# Neutrons =Mass # - # Protons (Atomic #)

• The number of electrons is therefore the same as the ___________________ number.
• Atomic number is the number of ____________________rather than the number of electrons, because atoms can lose or gain electrons but do not normally lose or gain protons.
2.1b Atomic Target Activity: Rutherford Scattering
Introduction: The Rutherford gold foil experiment is one of the most famous of all time. More than 25 years
after conducting the experiment, Ernest Rutherford described the results this way: “It was about as credible as if you had fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.”
The experiment itself was actually the culmination of a series of experiments, carried out over a five-year period, dealing with the scattering of high-energy alpha particles by various substances.
Ernest Rutherford received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his investigation into the disintegration of the elements as a result of radioactive decay. Among the products of the radioactive decay of elements are alpha particles—small, positively charged, high-energy particles. In trying to learn more about the nature of alpha particles, Rutherford and his co-workers, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, began studying what happened when a narrow beam of alpha particles was directed at a thin piece of metal foil. Alpha particles are a type of nuclear radiation, traveling at about 1/10 the speed of light. As expect4ed for such high-energy particles, most of the particles penetrated the thin metal foil and were detected on the other side. What was unexpected was that a very few of the alpha particles were actually reflected back toward the source, having been “scattered” or bent due to their encounters with the metal atoms in the foil target. The number of alpha particles that were reflected back depended on the atomic mass of the metal. Gold atoms, having the highest atomic mass of the metals studied, gave the largest amount of so-called “backscattering” Rutherford’s scattering experiments have been described as a “black box” experiment. The properties of the alpha particles, their mass, charge, speed, etc., were at least partially understood. The atoms making up the target, however, presented Rutherford with a kind of black box; the structure of the atom was not known at the time. In order to explain the results of the scattering experiment, Rutherford had to propose a new model of the atoms. A model that explained the results of the data gathered from the experiment. In 1911 Rutherford proposed the following model for the structure of the atom:
• Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in a very small, dense central area, later called the nucleus, which is about 1/100,000 the diameter of the atom. This was proposed as a result of what data: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• The rest of the atom is apparently “empty space” This was proposed as a result of what data ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• The central, dense core of the atom is positively charged, with the nuclear charge equal to about one-half the atomic mass. This was proposed as a result of what data ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Objective: The purpose of this activity is to discover by indirect means the size and shape of an unknown object, which is hidden underneath the middle of a large board. By tracing the path the marble takes after
! 5
striking the unknowntarget from a variety of angles, it should be possible to estimate the general size and shape of the unknown target.
Pre-Lab Questions
1. Read the material in your textbook about the Rutherford experiment and answer the three questions in the introduction.
2. This activity is a simulation of Rutherford’s scattering experiment. Read the entire procedure and compare the components used in this simulation to Rutherford’s original discuss what each component in our simulation corresponds to in the original experiment.
3. The key skills in this activity, as in Rutherford’s experiment, are the ability to make careful observation and to draw reasonable hypotheses. Assume that the marble strikes following sides of a possible target. Sketch the path the marble might be expected to take in each case.
! 4. Discuss what information can be inferred if the marble rolls straight through without striking the
unknown target. Materials:
1. foam board with unknown shape attached 2. marbles 3. white paper 4. push pins 5. pencil 6. ruler
Procedure: 1. Form a group of three students 2. Pin the paper to the top of the board (do not look at the shape on the underneath side) 3. Roll the marble with a moderate amount of force under one side of the board. Observe where the
marble comes out and trace the approximate path of the marble on the paper. 4. Working from all four sides of the board, continue to roll the marble under the board, making
observations and tracing the rebound path for each marble roll. Roll the marble AT LEAST 20 TIMES from each side of the box. Be sure to vary the angles at which the marble is rolled. You may use the rulers as a launching platform.
5. After sketching the apparent path from all sides and angles, the general size and shape of the unknown target should emerge.
6. Form a working hypothesis concerning the structure of the unknown target. Based on this hypothesis, repeat as many “targeted’ marble rolls as necessary to confirm or revise the structure.
7. Check your answer with your teacher. DO NOT look under the board. 8. If time permits try an extension, or another shape.
Post Lab Questions 1. Draw the general size and shape of the target to approximate scale in the square below.

2. The speed of the marble rolls was an uncontrolled variable in this activity. How would the outcome of the scattering test have been different if the marble speed had been faster or slower?
3. Compare the overall size of the target with the size of the marble used to probe its structure. How would the outcome of the scattering test have been different if different size marbles had been used? Explain.

C) Examples Sodium-23 Na-23 (Z=11) 11 p, 12 n, 11 e
Sodium 24 Na-24 (Z= 11) 11 p, 13 n, 11 e
Ions A) Ions are charged atoms. B) Charges arise due to loss or gain of electrons. C) If atom loses electrons, a positively charged cation is formed.
! 7
Example: Li > Li+ + 1 e-
D) If atom gains electrons, a negatively charged anion is formed.
Example: F + 1 e- > F- E) In ordinary matter, cations and anions always occur together so that matter is charge-neutral overall.
Atomic Mass 1) Atomic Mass of Element represents the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element. 2) Value found below the atomic symbol of the element in the periodic table.
A) Calculating Atomic Mass for an Element
i) Must be given relative abundance (%) for each isotope ii) Must know isotopic mass for each isotope iii) Convert percent abundance to a decimal (divide by 100%) iv) Use following formula to obtain result
Atomic Mass = Σ (fraction of isotope n) x (mass isotope n)
Example: Find Atomic Mass of Carbon given the following data.
Data: 98.89% Carbon 12 isotopic mass 12 amu 1.11% Carbon 13 isotopic mass 13.0034 amu

Wave Description of Light• Electromagnetic radiation (ER): form of
energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
• All forms of ER together make the electromagnetic spectrum
• All forms of ER move at a constant speed of about 3.0 x108 m/s (speed of light, c)
• Wavelength (λ): distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves.
• Frequency (ν): number of waves that pass a specific point in a given time, usually one second.
• Unit: Hertz (Hz), aka (1/s) or (s-1)• For electromagnetic radiation, frequency and
wavelength are relatedC=λν
• If λ increases, what must happen to ν? Does cchange?
Particle description of light• Max Planck, 1900s, suggested that object emit
energy in small, specific amounts called quanta
• Quantum: minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
• 1905 Einstein expands on this idea. ER have dual wave/particle nature.
• While light emits many wavelike particles, it can also be thought of as a stream of those particles
• Einstein named the particles photons• Photon: particle of ER having zero mass and
carrying a quantum of energy
• Planck proposed a relationship between a quantum of energy and the frequency of radiation
E=hν
• E is energy, in Joules, of a quantum of radiation
• h is Planck’s constant (fundamental physical constant)= 6.626 x10-34 J*s
• ν is freqency of radiation
• Energy of a particular photon depends on the frequency of the radiation
Ephoton= hν• Einstein’s Explanation: ER is absorbed by matter
only in whole numbers of photons– For e- to be ejected, must be struck by single photon
possessing at least minumum energy– According to equation, this energy corresponds to
frequency– If photon’s frequency is below minimum, no e- ejected
! 18
Energy Calculations Practice:
The Hydrogen Atom• Ground state: lowest energy state of an
atom• Excited state: atom has higher potential
energy than ground state• When an excited atom returns to ground
state, it gives off energy it gained in the form of ER.
• Production of colored signs (neon) is example
Experiment• Pass electrical current through H gas in
vacuum tube at low pressure• Emits characteristic pink glow• When the light was passed through prism,
separated into series of specific frequencies and therefore wavelength (… equation?) of visible light
• These bands are Hydrogen’s line emission spectrum
Problem?• Classical theory predicted that H atoms would
be excited by whatever amount of energy was added to them.
• Expected to observe continuous range of frequencies of ER, or continuous spectrum.
• Why had H only given off specific frequencies of light?
• ! Quantum Theory
• Excited H atom falls back from excited state to ground state, and emits photon
• This energy is equal to difference between initial and final state
Implications• Since H atoms emit only specific frequencies,
difference between energy states must be fixed.
• Therefore, e- of H atom exists only in very specific energy states
• In 1913, Bohr proposed a model that linked the atom’s electron with photon emission
• Energy is higher in orbits farther from nucleus (like a ladder)
• Based on the wavelengths of hydrogen’s line emission spectrum, Bohr calculated energies the e- would have in the allowed energy level for H atom.
• Bohr’s calculated values agreed with experimentally observed values for lines in each series
• Scientists tried to apply this model to other element’s atoms

2.6b FLAME TEST LAB
In this activity, you will investigate the colors of flame produced by solutions of metal salts. When a substance is heated in a flame, the atoms absorb energy from the flame. This absorbed energy allows the electrons to be promoted to excited energy levels. From these excited energy levels, there is a natural tendency for the electrons to make a transition or drop back down to the ground state. When an electron makes a transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, a particle of light called a photon is emitted. Both the absorption and emission of energy are quantized – only exact amounts of energy are required.
An electron may drop all the way back down to the ground state in a single step, emitting a photon in the process. Alternatively, an electron may drop back down to the ground state in a series of smaller steps, emitting a photon with each step. In either case, the energy of each emitted photon is equal to the difference in energy between the excited state and the state to which the electron relaxes. The energy of the emitted photon determines the color of light observed in the flame.
In this activity, metal salts in alcohol are burned, producing different colored flames. By comparing the color given off by an unknown with the known metal salts, the identity of the metal salt can be determined.
Flame Tests Activity Materials:
• matches • Spray bottle(s) from your teacher • ethanol • the following metal salts • lithium chloride • strontium chloride
• calcium chloride • copper(II)chloride • sodium chloride • potassium chloride • UNKNOW
Procedure: 1. Obtain a spray bottle of each metal ion. 2. Light your Bunsen burner. 3. If your flame blows out TURN OFF the gas immediately and relight the burner. 4. Holding the bottle upright and approximately 12 inches from the flame squirt the contents
at the flame. It may be necessary to move the location and the distance of the squirting depending on air currents in the room.
5. Record the color of the resulting flame and the intensity, be descriptive in your colors. 6. Repeat for all the salts.

reactive)– Will bond with a metal to form a salt– F & Cl are gases at room temp– Br is a liquid at room temp– I & At are solids at room temp
Exceptions in the d-block
• The following elements have odd configurations– Cr: [Ar]4s13d5
– Cu: [Ar]4s13d10
– Ag: [Kr]5s14d10
• More stable with half filled s & d orbitals or full d orbital
• Exceptions follow throughout the d element similar to Chromium and Copper
d-block elements
• Transition elements – Beginning filling the 3d orbitals– Good conductors of electricity– High luster– Less reactive than s-block elements
• Can be found in elemental form
Trends in Atomic Size cont.• Group - atomic radius increases as you go down a
group.
Why? • There is a significant jump in the size of the nucleus
(protons + neutrons) each time you move from period to period down a group.
• Additionally, new energy levels of elections clouds are added to the atom as you move from period to period down a group, making the each atom significantly more massive, both is mass and volume.
Atomic Radius• Atomic radius is simply the radius of the atom,
an indication of the atom's volume.• Atomic radius is one-half the distance between
the two nuclei in a molecule consisting of two identical atoms.
! 25
Electronegativity Trends• Period - electronegativity increases as you go from left
to right across a period.
• Why? Elements on the left of the period table have 1 -2 valence electrons and would rather give those few valence electrons away (to achieve the octet in a lower energy level) than grab another atom's electrons. As a result, they have low electronegativity. Elements on the right side of the period table only need a few electrons to complete the octet, so they have strong desire to grab another atom's electrons.
Electronegativity• Electronegativity is an
atom's 'desire' to grab another atom's electrons.
Ionization Energy
• Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove the outermost electron/s.
• Ionization energy is closely related to electronegativity.
Electronegativity Trends cont.• Group - electronegativity decreases as you go down a
group.
• Why? Elements near the top of the period table have few electrons to begin with; every electron is a big deal. They have a stronger desire to acquire more electrons. Elements near the bottom of the chart have so many electrons that loosing or acquiring an electron is not as big a deal. This is due to the shielding effect where electrons in lower energy levels shield the positive charge of the nucleus from outer electrons resulting in those outer electrons not being as tightly bound to the atom.
1) How easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy)
from an atom
Ionization Energy Trends cont.
• Group - ionization energy decreases as you go down a group.
• Why? The shielding effect makes it easier to remove the outer most electrons from those atoms that have many electrons (those near the bottom of the chart).
Reactivity
Reactivity refers to how likely orvigorously an atom is to react with other substances. This is usually determined by two things:
Ionization Energy Trends
• Period - ionization energy increases as you go from left to right across a period.
• Why? Elements on the right of the chart want to take others atom's electron (not given them up) because they are close to achieving the octet. The means it will require more energy to remove the outer most electron. Elements on the left of the chart would prefer to give up their electrons so it is easy to remove them, requiring less energy (low ionization energy).
! 26
Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.
Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group
Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.
Reactivity of Metals
The transfer/interaction of electrons is the basis of chemical
reactions.
Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period. Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group.
Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron.
Reactivity of Non-Metals
2) or how badly an atom wants to take other atom's electrons
(electronegativity)
Ionic Radius vs. Atomic Radius
• Metals - the atomic radius of a metal is generally larger than the ionic radius of the same element.
• Why? Generally, metals loose electrons to achieve the octet. This creates a larger positive charge in the nucleus than the negative charge in the electron cloud, causing the electron cloud to be drawn a little closer to the nucleus as an ion.

2.8 Periodic Trends Activity Determining Periodic Trends Activity
Purpose To understand the periodic nature of the periodic table – by knowing an element’s location on the periodic table one can determine the element’s number of valence electrons and have an awareness of its ionization energy, density, electron affinity, electronegativity, atomic radius, and ionic radius, relative to other elements
Materials Tiles from Periodic Trends, periodic table, scissors, tape, white paper, graph paper
Procedure Part 1
1. You will be given cards for each of five elements in a certain group. Each card contains information about the physical properties of the element. Use the descriptions in the Periodic Trends section below to place your element cards in what you think is the correct arrangement. You only have representative or main-group elements. The transition metals and noble gases are not used in this activity.
2. Use a periodic table to predict the atomic number and period of each element and write them in the spaces provided on the card.
Part 2 1. As a group, organize all the elements into a periodic table. Tape the elements onto
white paper when you are sure of their placement. 2. Compare your periodic table with the teacher’s key and make any necessary
adjustments. 3. Complete the Analysis and Conclusions section.
Terminology of Periodic Trends Valence electron: An electron in an outer shell of an atom that can participate in forming chemical bonds with other atoms. Nonvalence electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus and are called core electrons. Octet rule: Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to reach eight electrons in their outer electron shells. Ionization energy: The amount of energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom that is in the gaseous state. Elements on the right side really want to keep their electrons because they are so close to achieving an octet. Elements on the left side don’t mind losing an electron. Going down a group, the shielding effect of additional electrons makes it easier to remove outermost electrons. Atomic radius: One-half the distance of a single bond between two atoms of an element. As we go down a group, the principal energy level increases, causing an increase in the average distance between the electrons and the nucleus. Atoms get bigger as electrons are added to the principal energy levels. All the atoms in a given period have their outermost electrons in
! 28
the same principal energy level. As we go across a period, we are adding electrons to the same principal energy level. The atoms do not get bigger across a period because we are also adding protons to the nucleus as we move across a period. The additional protons in the positive nucleus increase the pull on the negative electrons resulting in smaller atoms across a period. Ionic radius: One-half the center-to-center distance between two ions in a crystalline ionic compound. Ions on the left side of the table are smaller than the atoms they come from because they’ve lost an electron. Ions on the right side are bigger than the atoms they come from because they’ve gained an electron. Electronegativity: A measure of attraction of an atom for a pair of shared electrons, a measure of whether an atom “grabs” more than its fair share of the shared electrons. As you go down a group, atoms have more total electrons so they don’t really care that much about their outermost ones. As you go across a period, atoms have more valence electrons and are so close to achieving an octet that they’ll grab another atom’s electrons.
