Matter is everything around you:
Matter something that has mass & takes up
space (volume)
Mass number of atoms in it (kg)
Volume the amount of space it takes up
Atoms: smallest unit or

Democritus (Greek) philosopher who
imagined cutting matter up until it could
no longer be cut into smaller particles.
He called this smallest unit atomos “can’t
be split.”

Joseph Thomson (British) 1897 discovered
the electron
-plum pudding model: electrons floated in
the positive proton mass
Ernest Rutherford Model (British) (1909)
• Described the nucleus
• Said the atom was 99.9% empty space
• Said nucleus was +
• Said nucleus was 100,000 X smaller than
the atom

Niels Bohr Model: (Danish) 1913
• ONION MODEL said rings are not
actual orbits, but levels or SHELLS
that represent the location of an
electron wave.
• Said electrons could jump
between those shells releasing
energy

-CLOUD MODEL
• Probability Function: cloud-like region where
electrons are likely to be found
• *Can’t say with certainty where the electron is
at any point in time, yet describes where it
ought to be
• ~think of it like an electron leaving a trace of where
it was, the collection of these traces looks like a
cloud
• The probable location happens to coincide with
locations specified by Bohr’s model!

Electron shell: set of allowed states that
electrons can have around the nucleus
Atoms fill their innermost shells before
moving outward
MAXIMUM CAPACITY:
1st Shell: up to 2 electrons
2nd Shell: up to 8 electrons
3rd Shell: up to 18 electrons

Valence electrons: electrons in the outermost energy level
Octet Rule: the valence shell normally holds no more than 8
electrons, regardless of the capacity it would otherwise have.
*atoms are most stable when they have full valence shells
* This tendency is the driving force behind chemical reactions,
(explains why elements combine the way they do)

CONCLUSIONS:
Dmitri Mendeleev (Russian) 1869
• Saw pattern in elements regarding their chemical properties
(density, appearance, melting point)
• He arranged them in a pattern of increasing atomic mass
Atomic mass: the mass of the protons + neutrons (electrons are too
small to weigh)
• He predicted missing elements based on the
pattern
• A few elements’ properties didn’t fit,
but the math was right
http://www.glogster.com/andythehandsome/dmitri-ivanovich-
mendeleev/g-6mf34dudha5i9e4oi3ttea0
Henry Mosley (British) 1914 determined the atomic number
• Atomic number: number of protons in an atom
• He slightly adjusted Mendeleev’s periodic table to be in order
of atomic number.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Moseley
Glenn T. Seaborg (American) 1951 discovered the
• Actinid elements & they follow the law
Periodic Law: repeating chemical & physical properties of
elements change periodically with a pattern
