Section 1-3: Atomic Structure Intro

1. In the early 1900’s a common model for the structure of the atom was the plum pudding model. In this model, negatively charged electrons reside in the atom surrounded by a diffuse, continuous medium of positive charge (like plums in a pudding, or for a more modern analogy, like chocolate chips in a cookie).

(a) In 1911 Earnest Rutherford carried out an experiment that changed the way we view the atom. Briefly describe this gold foil experiment.

(b) How is the plum pudding model inconsistent with Rutherford’s experimental findings? Approach this by considering the plum pudding hypothesis, and then predict what you would have expected to happen in Rutherford’s experiment if the plum pudding model was true.

(c) Draw a picture of Rutherford’s model of the atom. Use your picture to describe why most of the alpha

particles pass through the gold foil in Rutherford’s experiment.

Section 1-3: Atomic Structure Intro 1. (a) Rutherford used positive alpha particles. These alpha particles were directed at the gold foli. The

paths of these particles were examined. (b) In the plum pudding model, negatively charged electrons reside in the atom surrounded by a continuous medium of positive charge. At the time, it was believed that this continuous medium of positive charge was very diffuse both in terms of charge and mass. The “pudding” was viewed as having the same amount of charge as the electrons, but that charge was spread out over the whole atom, as was the mass of the atom. Thus, Rutherford’s hypothesis was that the alpha particles would pass right through the foil. As they did not all do this, but many were deflected or bounced back, he had to revise the initial hypothesis to account for this. He did this by proposing that the atom has a positively charged nucleus that contained most of the mass of the atom.

(c) Since most of the atom is empty space, the particles will pass through the atom. Those that hit the dense nucleus will bounce off the nucleus and are deflected.

2. Isotopes have different mass numbers due to a difference in the number of neutrons. They have the same number of protons. Thus, X and Z are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (186) but different mass numbers (412 and 410).

10. n=4, l=3, ml=+3 (could also be -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2), ms=1/2 11. I<Sn<Sr<Cs 12. a. D b. B c. B 13. ionization energy 14. Which would you predict to be more reactive, potassium or rubidium? Explain your answer. Rb would be more reactive/ It is larger, so it has a smaller ionization energy and hence is more reactive. 15. The group number tells the number of valence electrons for main group atoms. 16. There is no such atoms – it is missing the 3d electrons. 17. a. Rh

b. 7 valence electrons c. 5s 4d

18. a. Chlorine b. P 19. a. Selenium b. Sc 20. a. Boron b. K 21. d 22. F > O > N > Be

a)

b. How many unpaired electrons are there? 2 c. Which atom is represented here? (only one correct answer) Oxygen

25. I expect the ionization energy for Li+ to be greater. Li+ has a full octet in its outer shell (it has the same electron configuration as a noble gas), therefore it is very stable. It would be much harder to remove the 2nd electron from the very stable octet.

27. a. Since the 4s electron is removed: n= 4; l = 0; ml = 0, and ms = ½ [ or another possible answer is n= 4; l = 0; ml = 0, and ms =- ½]

b. Since the 6p electron is removed first: n = 6 ; l = 1; ml = -1; ms = ½ [other answers possible for ml and ms; ml

can be -1, 0, or 1 and ms can be + or – ½)
