The Atomic model of atom

Complete the sentences using words from the word bank

More than ____________thousand years ago, A Greek philosopher named____________ led a group

of scientists now known as ‘atomists’. These early Greeks thought that the atom was the ____________

possible piece of matter that could be obtained. They guessed that the atom was a small,

____________particle, and that all the atoms were made of the same material. They also thought that

different atoms were different shapes and sizes, that the atoms were infinite in number, always

____________ and capable of joining together.

In 1803, ____________ proposed an atomic theory. The theory stated that all elements were made of

atoms and that the atoms were ____________ and indestructible particles. Dalton’s theory also said

that atoms of the same element were the same, while atoms of different elements were ____________.

The theory also said that____________ were made by joining the atoms of two or more elements

together. In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered a particle even smaller than the atom. He named it the

____________, but today we call it the ____________. As a result of his discovery, Thomson proposed

a new atomic ____________. According to Thomson’s model, the atom was like a plum ____________

it was mostly a thick, positively charged material, with negative electrons scattered about it like

____________ in a pudding.

In 1908, Ernest Rutherford took an extremely thin sheet of ____________ and bombarded it with

electrons. Much to his surprise, most of the electrons went right through the foil, and the occasional

____________ was seriously deflected. To him, this seemed as likely as a baseball going through a

brick wall. He theorized that the gold foil must be mostly empty ____________, or else the electrons

would bounce off most of the time. He figured that the atom was made up of a small, dense, positively

charged center, called the ____________.

In1913, Neil Bohr narrowed down the actual location of the electrons. Bohr’s model was similar to

Rutherford’s in that it had a ____________ made up of positively charged material. Bohr went on to

propose that the negative particles (____________) orbited the nucleus much like the planets

____________ the sun. Today the atomic model is very similar to Bohr’s model. The modern atomic

model, the Wave model, does not have exact orbits like Bohr did. Instead the modern model has a

scatter region surrounding the ____________ where an ____________ will probably, but not certainly,

be found.

What is an ion? An ion is a charged particle. WS#3

Determining the number of electrons-

The number of electrons in an element can change. For a neutral atom, the number of protons is exactly equal to the number of

electrons. So the number of electrons is the same as the atomic number. However, it is possible to remove electrons and not

change the identity of an element. These are called ions. The charge on the ion tells you the number of electrons.

If the charge is positive, subtract that number from the atomic number to get the number of electrons. You have more protons.

If the charge is negative, add the amount of charge to the atomic number to get the number of electrons. You have more electrons.

Cations are ________________ because they ____________ electrons or become more Positive.

Anions __________ _______________ ____________ because they gain electrons or become more negative.

Average Atomic Mass and abundance of Isotopes WS#4

The atomic mass for each element is reported on the periodic table. This number is a weighted

average of the masses of each of the isotopes of an element. For example, the atomic mass of carbon is

reported as 12.011 amu. Carbon is composed primarily of two isotopes: carbon-12 and carbon-13. The

atomic mass is calculated from the relative abundance and the masses for these two isotopes. Using the

equation below we can calculate the atomic mass for carbon.

Atomic Mass = % isotope 1 × mass isotope 1 + % isotope 2 × mass isotope 2 +……..

Sample problem:

Carbon-12 makes up 98.93% of all of the carbon atoms, while carbon-13 is about 1.07% abundant.

Since the carbon-12 isotope is more abundant, its mass is weighted more in the calculation of

carbon’s atomic mass. An example calculation is done below.

Electron Energy Level and Electron configuration notes: WS#6

Bohr’s Model:

• In 1913, Bohr introduced his atomic model based on the simplest atom, hydrogen (only 1 electron). Bohr

proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.

• Each electron has a fixed energy = an energy level.

– Electrons can jump from one energy level to another.

– Electrons can not be or exist between energy levels.

• A quantum of energy is the amount of energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another energy level.

The degree to which they move from level to level determines the frequency of light they give off. To move from one

level to another, the electron must gain or lose the right amount of energy.

• The Bohr model was tested with the hydrogen element but failed to explain the energies absorbed and emitted by atoms

with more than one electron.

Atomic Orbitals:

• An atomic orbital is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Region in space where there is 90% probability of finding an electron.

• Different atomic orbitals are denoted by letters.

• s-orbitals are spherically shaped.

• p-orbitals are “dumbell” shaped.

• The number of electrons allowed in each of the first four energy levels are shown here.

• A maximum of 2 electrons per orbital

Electron Configuration:

• The ways in which electrons are arranged in various orbitals around the nuclei of atoms are called electron

configurations. Three rules—the Aufbau principle, the Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule—tell you how to find

the electron configurations of atoms.

– Aufbau Principle: According to the Aufbau principle, electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first.

– Pauli Exclusion Principle: According to the Pauli exclusion principle, an atomic orbital may describe at most

two electrons. To occupy the same orbital, two electrons must have opposite spins; that is, the electron spins

must be paired.

– Hund’s Rule: Hund’s rule states that electrons occupy orbitals of the same energy in a way that makes the

number of electrons with the same spin direction as large as possible.

• Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table

– The periodic table can be used as a guide for electron configurations.

– The period number is the value of n. i.e n=1, n=2, n=3……..n=7

– Groups 1A and 2A have the s-orbital filled.

– Groups 3A - 8A have the p-orbital filled.

– Groups 3B - 2B have the d-orbital filled.

– The lanthanides and actinides have the f-orbital filled.
