This document contains information about atomic structure and the periodic table. It begins with a discussion of early atomic theories proposed by scientists like Democritus, Lavoisier, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, and Schrodinger. It then provides details on the basic atomic structure including the nucleus, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Isotopes and ions are defined. The periodic table is discussed in relation to atomic number, mass number, and atomic mass. Diagrams illustrate hydrogen isotopes and charged hydrogen ions. Homework is assigned to continue working on atomic structure in the next week.

7. Topic:
Power Notes- Atomic
Structure
Do we understand
everything????

8. Democritus 400 BC
Greece - stated that
all matter is made up
of atoms. He also
stated that atoms are
eternal and invisible
and so small that
they can’t be divided,
and they entirely fill
up the space they’re
in
Lavoisier 1789
France - provided the
formula for the
conservation of matter
in chemical reactions,
and also distinguished
between an element
and a compound
• 1st idea of “atoms”
• Believed all matter is made
up of tiny particles separated
by space
• Named particles “atomos”
which means indivisible.
• Founder of modern chemistry
• 1st carefully controlled
experiments providing
evidence to the Law of
Conservation of Mass

9. Dalton 1766-1844
England - formed the 1st atomic theory,
which states that all matter is composed of
tiny, indestructible particles called atoms
that are all alike and have the same atomic
weight.
1st MODERN Atomic Theory
1.All matter made up of tiny
indivisible particles called atoms
2.Atoms of the same element
have identical properties
3.Atoms of different elements
have different properties
4.Atoms combine in a specific
ratio to form compounds
5.A specific compound is always
made up of atoms in a specific
proportion.

10. Thomson 1897
Plum Pudding Model
1.Negative particles scrambled
into the “dough” of the positive
particles.
England - discovered
the electron and
developed the plumpudding model of the
atom.
Rutherford 1898
England - used the
results of his gold-foil
experiment to state that
all the mass of an
atom was in a small
positively-charged
ball at the center of
the atom.
Gold Foil Experiment
1.Atoms are mostly empty
space
2.All the Mass of an atom is in
the positively charged ball in the
center of the structure.

11. •Scientists look for patterns in
data and passed experiments to
What is the difference
between the EXPECTED PREDICT what they think might
RESULTS &OBSERVED happen.
•When scientists actually do an
RESULTS?
experiment their observed
results may be different than
what they EXPECT to happen
because of passed information.
•However, many times the
expected results are in fact,
what is observed.

12. Bohr 1922
Denmark - stated that
the electrons moved
around the nucleus in
successively large
orbits. He also
presented the Bohr
atomic model which
stated that atoms
absorb or emit radiation
only when the electrons
abruptly jump between
allowed, or stationary,
states.
Schrödinger (Schroedinger )
Austria - introduced the
1930
Shroedinger Equation, a
wave equation that
describes the form of the
probability waves that
govern the motion of
small particles and how
these waves are altered
by external influences.
“Planetary” atom model
1.Believed the atom structure was like our
solar system
2. Nucleus in the middle like the sun and
the electrons orbiting like the planets.
Wave Mechanic Model
1.Planetary model was too specific
2.Rather: electrons vibrate around the
outside of the nucleus- can only
predict where they are most like to be
3.QUARKS – protons, neutrons and
electrons made up of some of these
smaller particles.

13. Basic Atomic Structure
Today scientists agree on the
three basic subatomic particles
that make up all atoms.
Bohr Model for Lithium
Electron = 3
(not to scale)
Make sure to
include these
question next to
your model
P= 3 +
N = 3 0
Answer
s
Where is most of the mass in the
Atom?
NUCLEUS
Where is most of the volume in the
Atom?
Outside the Nucleus; Electron
Cloud

14. Nucleus
•
•
•
No need to include words…
just illustration
Electron
•
•
•
•
Contains protons(+) and
Neutrons (0)
Holds most of the mass of
the atom
Very small compared to the
entire size of the atom
Most dense part of the atom
Negatively charged
subatomic particle
Found outside the nucleus in
the electron cloud
Smallest particle; mass =
1/1836th of the atom

15. Proton

Neutron

•
Positively charged subatomic particle,
Found in the nucleus
Mass = 1 amu (atomic mass unit)
# of protons in an atom IDENTIFIES the
atom (which element)
# of protons in the nucleus of an atom
called the atomic number
Zero charge
Mass = 1 amu
Do NOT affect the identity of the atom
Found in the nucleus
Same atom of an element can have
varying amounts of neutrons (isotope)
Adding the total number of protons &
neutrons = Atomic Mass Number

16. 1.
Atomic Mass on the Periodic Table
represents a “weighted average” of the
mass of all the naturally occurring
ISOTOPES of each element. (based on
mass & abundance of each isotope.)
Atomic Number
1. Number of PROTONS (Unique
to each element)
2. Number of ELECTRONS (IF
Atom is NEUTRAL)
2. Chemical Symbol
1. Abbreviation of element
(some from LATIN name)
3. Element Name
1. Full name provided below
symbol
4. Atomic Mass Number
1. Sum of the particles in the
nucleus
2. Represents total count of
protons and neutrons
3. Positively charged because
neutrons have no charge and
protons are positive

17. All atoms found on the •
Periodic Table are
NEUTRAL– same # of protons(+)
and # of electrons(-)
Isotope
Atoms of the same element with
same number of protons and
different number of neutrons.

Hydrogen has 3 natural
occurring ISOTOPES:
Protium, Deuterium and
Tritium
are
All ROGEN have

HYD use al
a
bec oton.
r
1 p
All ISOTOPES
of Hydrogen are neutral because they have
1 electron as well. Make sure to include the electron in
your illustration. (Did you put the electron in the right place?)

18. IONS
•
•
When atoms gain or lose electrons
they become charged. (number of
protons (+) and electrons (-)
particles are NOT EQUAL)
Atoms that do not have equal
amounts of protons (+) and
electrons (-) particles are called
IONS
Draw atoms of hydrogen that are charged because
of the UNEQUAL amounts of protons and
electrons.
