Learning Objectives for this Chapter:
1. Describe changes in the atomic model over time and why those changes were necessitated by experimental evidence.
2. Describe structure of atoms (protons, neutrons, electrons) and differentiate among these particles in terms of mass, charges and location in the atom.
3. Compare the magnitude and range of the 4 fundamental forces.
4. Apply the mole concept and the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Beginning of Atomism
You cannot divide something in half forever. The smallest piece of matter is called an atom.

Dalton’s Postulates
4. Compounds are made from combining atoms in simple whole number ratios.
1. All elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.
2. All atoms of the same element are the same, but different from atoms of every
other element.
3. Chemical reactions rearrange atoms but do not create, destroy, or convert atoms from one element to another.
Over 2,000 years later John Dalton comes up with the first “modern” atomic theory.

William Crookes invents a tube in which virtually all the gas has been removed.
Under high voltage, a ray was emitted from the cathode end of the tube.

The size of the atom comes mostly from the space occupied
by the electrons
The mass of the atom comes mostly from the nucleus

You obtain a different element!
6 protons in carbon
7 protons in nitrogen
8 protons in oxygen
The number of protons is also called the atomic number for that element.

What happens when you change the number of electrons?
You get an ion – a charged particle.

The protons andelectrons cancel each other out
One proton is not neutralized by an electron, making this a +1 charged atom

The electron cloud
Except for mass, virtually every property of atoms is determined by electrons, including size and chemical bonding
Electrons are very light and fast. They are not organized along orbits around the nucleus.

mass number: total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Mass number = 6 p + 6 n = 1212C

Atomic particle determinationa. Neutrons = mass number of nucleotide –
atomic number of elementb. Protons = atomic number (Z) of elementc. Electrons = atomic number of elementd. Atomic Mass – average mass of isotopes of
an elemente. Mass number – the total protons and
neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

V Atomic Mass Formulae1. Mole – the amount of a substance that contains the
same number of units as the number of atoms in exactly 12 g of Carbon – 16. This is Avogadro’s number of 6.022 x 1023 particles.
2. Mass to number of atoms = given mass in g of element 6.022 x 1023 atoms Molar mass in g of element
3. Number of atoms to mole: # atoms mole
6.022 x 1023 atoms4. Mass to moles:
given mass in g moles Molar mass in g

Forces found in Nature:1. Gravitational – relatively very
weak but active over long distances
2. Electromagnetic – intermediate strength
3. Strong Nuclear – strongest force that binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus
4. Weak Nuclear – involved in the decay of many elementary particles
24
Examples of the Weak Nuclear force.
Some atoms are unstable and, to become stable, decay by emitting particles or energy or both.
Alpha particles, a
Beta, b

Nuclear Reactions
• Nuclear Decay - a spontaneous process in which an unstable nucleus ejects a particle and changes to another nucleus.– Alpha decay– Beta decay
• Beta Minus• Positron
• Fission - a nucleus splits into two fragments of roughly equal size
• Fusion - Two nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.
29
Alpha Decay
• This occurs when a helium nucleus is released.• This occurs only with very heavy elements.
30
Beta (b-) Decay• A beta particle (negative electron) is released
when a nucleus has too many neutrons for the protons present. A neutron converts to a proton and electron leaving a greater number of protons.
• Neutron decay:
31
Positron (b+) Decay
• Positron decay occurs when a nucleus has too many protons for the neutrons present. A proton converts to a neutron. A neutrino is also released.
