3.4 The Atom


39

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

In Dalton’s atomic theory, atoms

• are tiny particles of matter.

• of an element are similar and different from other elements.

• of two or more different elements combine to form compounds.

• are rearranged to form new combinations in a chemical reaction.

40

Subatomic Particles

Atoms contain subatomic particles.

• Protons have a positive (+) charge.

• Electrons have a negative (-) charge.

• Neutrons are neutral.

• Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

ElectronsThomson- Found that cathode ray consists of

tiny, negatively charged particles called electrons.

Electrons are emitted from electrodes made of two thin pieces of metal

Many different metals may be used to make electrodes Different metals contain different electrons

Cathode rays can be deflected by bringing either a magnet or an electrically charged plate near tube. This deflection depends on the strength of deflecting magnetic or electric field the size of the negative charge on the electron the mass of electron

Electron

43

Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment

In Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, positively charged particles • were aimed at atoms of gold.• mostly went straight through the atoms. • were deflected only occasionally.

Conclusion: There must be a small, dense, positively charged nucleus in the atom that deflects positive particles that come close.

44

Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment


45

Structure of the Atom An atom consists• of a nucleus

that contains protons and neutrons.

• of electrons in a large, empty space around the nucleus.


46

Atomic Mass ScaleOn the atomic mass scale,

• 1 atomic mass unit (amu) has a mass equal to 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom.

• a proton has a mass of about 1 (1.007) amu.

• a neutron has a mass of about 1 (1.008) amu.

• an electron has a very small mass, 0.000 549 amu.

1) 5 protons 2) 7 protons 3) 14 protons

B. A sulfur atom 1) 32 protons 2) 16 protons 3) 6 protons

C. A barium atom 1) 137 protons 2) 81 protons 3) 56 protons

54

An atom

• of an element is electrically neutral; the net charge of an atom is zero.

• has an equal number of protons and electrons. number of protons = number of

electrons

Aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The net

(overall) charge is zero. 13 protons (13+) + 13 electrons (13 -) = 0

Electrons in An Atom

55

Mass Number

The mass number

• represents the number of particles in the nucleus.

• is equal to the number of protons + the number of neutrons.

56

Atomic Models

57

Number of protons = Atomic number

Number of protons + neutrons = Mass number

Number of neutrons = mass number – atomic number (protons)

Note: Mass number is given for specific isotopes only.

Study Tip: Protons and Neutrons
