Atomic Theory?In the following lectures, you will learn about the

Atomic - Molecular Theory of Matter. You will also learn about scientists

and how they have gathered evidence

about atoms.

Please Take Notes in your

Notebook as we proceed!

Page 30: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Atomic - Molecular Theory of Matter

The Atomic - Molecular Theory of Matter states

that all matter is composed of small, fast moving particles called atoms. These atoms can join together to

form molecules.

This theory is really thousands of individual ideas and models that provide evidence for the whole theory.

Page 31: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

MatterSince the atom is Since the atom is too small to be too small to be seen even with seen even with

the most the most powerful powerful

upon models to upon models to help us to help us to

understand the understand the atom.atom.

atom.atom.

Page 32: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Scientific Models Scientists create

models to help them to visualize

complex properties, structures or

behaviors. Since the atom is so

small, scientists must gather

Indirect Evidence to develop their

models.

This is a model of one very This is a model of one very complex molecule made of complex molecule made of

many different kinds of many different kinds of atoms. Each colored ball atoms. Each colored ball represents an atom of a represents an atom of a

different element.different element.

Page 33: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

What should a Model look like?

Scientific models may not always

look like the actual object. A

model is an attempt to use

familiar ideas to describe

unfamiliar things in a visual way.This is a painting of a young This is a painting of a young

woman by Pablo Picasso. Does woman by Pablo Picasso. Does it actually look like a young it actually look like a young

woman?woman?

Page 34: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Is this really an Atom?

The model above represents the most

modern version of the atom, but it’s still a model

(Artist drawing)

Many of the models that you Many of the models that you have seen may look like the one have seen may look like the one

below. It shows the parts and below. It shows the parts and structure of the atom. Even structure of the atom. Even

though we do not know what an though we do not know what an atom looks like, scientific atom looks like, scientific models must be based on models must be based on

evidence. evidence.

Page 35: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Indirect EvidenceIndirect Evidence is evidence gathered

without being able to directly observe the object. The Atomic -

Molecular Theory of Matter is based upon a vast amount of indirect

evidence gathered over a long period of time. Just like pieces being added

to a puzzle, each new bit of information gives us a better

understanding of atoms.

Page 36: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

How can Indirect Evidence be Gathered?

Pretty much everything we

know about atoms is indirect

evidence. One can't really see

atoms. We do see enough of their effects that we

can, with confidence, describe the

nature of atoms.

It's like putting together a puzzle that's missing some pieces. If you

get enough pieces in the right place you can tell what the picture is even though it still has holes.

Page 37: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Can a Model be Changed?

A model can be changed as new information is

collected. From the early Greek concept

to the modern atomic theory, scientists have built upon and modified existing

models of the atom.

Page 38: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Where did it all begin?

The word “atom” comes from the

Greek word “atomos” which

means indivisible.

The idea that all matter is made up of atoms was first proposed by the

Greek philosopher Democritus in the 5th century B.C.

Page 39: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

More HistoryThe concept of atoms as proposed by Democritus

remained relatively unchanged for over

2,000 years. Beginning in the late 18th century new discoveries were

made that led to a better understanding of atoms

and chemistry. Many scientists since that time

have contributed new evidence for the

“Atomic Theory”

Niels Bohr is one of Niels Bohr is one of many scientists that many scientists that

have given us a have given us a better understanding better understanding

of Atoms.of Atoms.

How small is an atom?

Bryson? 3 hundred-millionths of a centimeter

Page 41: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

“Weighing” an atom

Since atoms are sooo small, scientists developed a new unit: Atomic mass unit (amu):

1 Proton = 1 amu 1 neutron = 1 amu 1 electron = almost 0 (we don’t consider the

mass of an electron when finding the mass number). It takes more than 1800 electrons to equal 1 amu.

The Nucleus

Small, positively charged center of the atom.

Contains most of the atom’s mass

Page 44: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Inside the Nucleus

Protons: positively charged particles

Neutrons: particles in atom with no charge

What is the charge of the nucleus?

Page 45: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Outside the nucleus

Electrons: negatively charged particles in atoms.

Likely to be found around the nucleus within electron clouds

An Atom is neutral!

Equal number of protons and electrons

The charges of protons and electrons are opposite, but equal in size.

What if they aren’t equal?

Page 51: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Elements & Atoms

Each element is made of a different amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

For example: Hydrogen= 1 proton, 0 neutron, 1 electron Helium= 2 protons, 2 neutrons, 2 electrons Gold= 79 protons, 118 neutrons, 79

electrons

ATOMIC NUMBER: THE NUMBER OF PROTONS IN THE NUCLEUS OF THE ATOM

ALL ATOMS OF THE SAME ELEMENT HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF PROTONS.

Page 53: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

So…the amount of P doesn’t have to equal N. . .

Isotopes: atoms that have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.

This means it has a different mass number.

Mass number = Sum of protons + neutrons Boron= 5 Protons + 5 Neutrons = 10 amu Or 5 Protons + 6 Neutrons = 11

amu

Page 54: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Properties of Isotopes

Each element has a limited number of isotopes (meaning, you can’t assign “random” numbers of neutrons)

Can be unstable: meaning, the nucleus can change it’s composition. If it is unstable it’s RADIOACTIVE

Will have the same physical & chemical properties of the stable isotope

Page 55: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

To find the # of neutrons Simple subtraction Mass Number – Atomic number (# of

p) Carbon -12 Mass number= 12 Atomic Number= 6 Neutrons= 6

Page 56: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Calculating the Mass of an Element Atomic Mass: weighted average of

the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element

MathBREAK on page 92: To calculate the atomic mass of an element, multiply the mass number of each isotope by its percentage abundance in decimal form. Then add these amounts together to find the atomic mass.

Page 57: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

Forces in an atom

Gravity: (acts between all objects) It affects an atom, but very small affect.

Electromagnetic Force: Same charges repel, opposite charges attract. This is what holds electrons around the nucleus.

Strong Force: keeps the nucleus together because protons would repel each other. Stronger than E.M. Force.

Weak Force: in radioactive atoms. . .a neutron can change into a proton.

The Particle Theory of Matter:1. Matter is made up of tiny particles (Atoms &

Molecules)2. Particles of Matter are in constant motion.

3. Particles of Matter are held together by very strong elastic forces

4. There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large compared to the particles

themselves.5. Each substance has unique particles that are different

from the particles of other substances6. Temperature affects the speed of the particles.  The

higher the temperature, the faster the speed of the particles.

Page 70: Introduction to Atomic Theory OBJ 1: Compare the different models of an atom. OBJ 2: Explain how atomic theory has changed as scientists have discovered

The particle theory of matter explains the following scientific phenomena:

• Pure substance are homogeneous (one phase - one unique kind of particle)

• Physical Changes - Melting, Evaporation, Sublimation, Dissolving.....

• Characteristic Physical Properties - Density, Viscosity, Electrical & Thermal Conductivity
