indirect evidence.

History of atomic theory
• 500 BC Democritus proposed idea of atom-but he had no experimental data to support it.
• 1800 Dalton proposed an atomic theory supported by experimental data.
![Page 3: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Dalton’s Atomic theory
• Support for his theory came when he began looking at the masses of elements that combined with eachother.
• He found that elements combine in simple ratios by mass.
![Page 4: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Dalton’s atomic theory
• Dalton’s atomic theory– all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible
particles called atoms.– All atoms of the same element are identical.– Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.– Atoms of two or more different elements can
combine in small whole number ratios to form compounds.
![Page 5: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Dalton’s atomic theory
• 2 problems with his theory:– Atoms of the same element have different masses – atoms have subatomic particles (electrons, protons
and neutrons)
So Dalton’s theory is not completely correct.

The subatomic particles
• Electron discovered ~1900 by JJ Thomson using his cathode ray tube.
• Electron charge found by American Robert Millikan ~1910. Oil drop experiment
• Proton found using adaptation of cathode ray tube ~1900.
• Neutron discovered in 1932 by Chadwick.

Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment
• A consequence of the plum pudding model was that the atom would have a weak positive charge.
• Rutherford tested this idea by firing positively charged particles at gold foil.
• He expected particles to pass through.• His results surprised him.
![Page 9: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Results of Gold Foil Experiment
• Atom is mostly empty space.• Protons are found in a dense nucleus in the
center of the atom.
![Page 10: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Problems with Rutherford’s model
• Could not explain why electrons would not spiral into the nucleus.

Atoms to Elements
• What makes elements different from one another?– The number of protons, electrons and neutrons
in them.– C has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons,
while H has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 1electron.
![Page 12: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Atomic number
• Atomic number: the number of protons in an atom.– Because atoms are neutral we know that
protons must equal electrons and so atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.
Atomic number also equals the number of electrons in the neutral atom
![Page 13: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Mass number
• Mass number- the total number of neutrons and protons in an atom.
• If we know the mass number and the atomic number we can find the number of neutrons in an atom.
Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons

FAQ: Average Atomic Masses
• “If protons and neutrons weigh 1amu, then how come the periodic table has atomic masses with decimals? How does this happen?”– for example: the 2 isotopes of copper weigh 65
and 63amu’s. In periodic table it says 63.55amu.
![Page 21: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Average atomic masses
• The average atomic mass is an average of the masses of the isotopes of an element.– The average atomic mass of Cu is an average of
the two masses of the isotopes: 65amu and 63amu.
– It’s a weighted average that takes into account the relative abundance of each isotope.

Atoms and ions• Atoms are electrically neutral because they
have equal numbers of protons and electrons.– EXAMPLE: Hydrogen has 1proton and
1 electron. They cancel eachother.
• Atoms can gain or lose electrons when they form compounds.• When atoms lose or gain electrons they becomecharged.• Atoms having a positive or negative charge arecalled ions.

23 How many electrons in Na?
![Page 25: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Atoms and ions
Na23
11
Sodium has atomic number 11, meaning it has 11 protons and if it is neutral it should have 11 electrons.
11 protons + 11electrons = 0 charge
So how many electrons would Sodium have if it lost an electron?
![Page 26: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Atoms and ions
Na23
11
If Sodium lost one electron it would still have 11 protons, but now it would have 10 electrons.
11 protons + 10 electrons = +1 charge
We write the positively charged ion, or cation, as Na+

Atoms and ions
Cl35
17
Chlorine has atomic number 17, meaning it has 17 protons and if it is neutral it should have 17 electrons.
17 protons + 17electrons = 0 charge
So how many electrons would Chlorine have if it gained an electron?
![Page 29: Atomic Theory Atoms are incredibly small! What we know about them is based on indirect evidence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e185503460f94b03f36/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If chlorine gained one electron it would still have 17 protons, but now it would have 18 electrons.
17 protons + 18 electrons = -1charge
