CHAPTER 2: STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM
2.1 MATTER
1.
Matter : Any substance or material that occupies space and has mass. Exists as a solid, liquid or gas (3 states of matter). Made up of particles. 3 kinds of particlesatoms, molecules, ions Can be divided into elements and compound.Particles Description
Atoms Smallest particles of an element that retain the chemicalproperties of the element.
Examples : Sodium atom (Na)Zinc atom (Zn)
Helium atom (He)
Molecules Particles composed of two or more atoms. Can be with the same or different atoms Examples : Same atomsOxygen gas (O2)
Different atomsAmmonia (NH3)
Ions Charged particlespositive or negative Positive charged ion (Cation)Zinc ion (Zn2+)Negative charged ion (Anion)Chloride ion(Cl-)
Matter Descriptions
Elements Particles made up of the same atoms only. Can be in the form of atom or molecules. Cannot be split into two or more simpler substance by
chemical means.
Examples:- Metallic Copper(Cu), Iron(Fe), Gold(Au)- Non-metallic Oxygen(O2), Sulphur(S8)
Compounds Particles made up of two or more elements. Can be molecules or ions. Examples:

Changes in states of matter Matter can change its state. Reversible changes. Exists in 3 states, solid, liquid and gas.
During the changes, the following do not change:- Mass of particles
- Size of particles
- Type of particles
Velocity of the particle increases when- Temperature increases- Kinetic energy increases

Explanation:AB: When the solid is heated, heat energy is absorbed. This causes the
particles to gain kinetic energy and vibrate faster.
BC: The temperature remains constant because the heat energy absorbed by
the particles is used to overcome the forces between particles so that the
solid can turn into a liquid. At this temperature, both solid and liquid are
present.
CD: The particles in liquid naphthalene absorb heat energy and move faster.
During the heating of naphthalene:- Water bath is used (ensure uniform heating, naphthalene is flammable)
- Naphthalene is stirred continuously (ensure an even heating)
Water bath: For heating a substance which is less than 100C. Oil bath: For heating a substance which is more than 100C. Latent heat of fusion: heat required to convert solid to liquid without a
change in temperature.
b. Cooling curve of naphthalene/acetamide Diagram:

Graph:
Explanation:RS: When the liquid is cooled, the particles in the liquid lose their
kinetic energy. They move slower as the temperature decreases.
ST: The temperature of naphthalene remains constant because the
heat loss to the surroundings is balanced by the heat energy given off
during freezing.
TU: The particles in solid naphthalene release heat energy and vibrate
slower.
During the cooling of naphthalene: Boiling tube containing naphthalene is placed in a conical flask. (to
minimize heat loss which may affect the accuracy of freezing point
air trapped in conical flask is poor conductor of heat)
Stirred by using thermometer (to ensure even cooling)

2.2 ATOMIC STRUCTURES
1. Historical development of the structure of atoma) John Dalton
- All elements made up of small indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms made up of tiny particles which cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms of same elementsame mass
- Atoms of different elementsdifferent mass
- Atoms join together to form larger molecules or compounds (in simple
ratio)
- Weakness:
Atoms are not the simplest particles bigger than proton, neutronsand electron
Atoms can be destroyed or breakdownradioisotopes Atoms of same element have different massisotopes

b) J.J. Thomson
- Plum pudding model.
- Electron embedded in a sphere of positive charge.
- Electron spreads randomly throughout the positive charge.
c) Ernest Rutherford
- All positive charge of an atom is concentrated in the nucleuscontainprotons.
- Mass of atom is located in a small area (nucleus).
- Number of protons = number of electron
d)Neils Bohr
- Electrons of atom are arranged and move around the nucleus in orbital
called electron shells.
- Nucleus contains protons.- The orbital has various radius form the nucleus.

2.3 KINETIC THEORY OF MATTER
1. According to the Kinetic Theory Of Matter, Matter consists of tiny and discrete particles. Particles always move randomly. There are forces of attraction between the particles.
Particles gain kinetic energy and move faster when heated. Particles lose kinetic energy and move slower when cooled. Can be proven by using 2 experiments: Diffusion and Brownian
movement.
2. Diffusion Occurs when particles of a substance move in between the particles of
another substance.
Random movement of particles from a high concentration region to alower concentration region.
Happens in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas. Occurs most rapidly in gases, followed by liquid and solid. Particles diffuse from one medium to another. Rate of diffusion increases with the temperature. Rate of diffusion decreases when the mass of matter increases. Diffusion in gases:

Precaution:
- Lift the lid at intervals to allow oxygen gas to enter for
combustion of metal.
- Lid is closed immediately after it is lifted to prevent white fume
from escaping to the surroundings.
- Stop heating the metal when it is started to glow.
Reactive metal: both reactant and products are solid and thus, the
individual mass of metal and oxygen cannot be determined.
For lower reactivity of metal (Cu, Sn, Pb, Ag)
Chemical used to dry hydrogen gas: Anhydrous cobalt chloride /
anhydrous calcium chloride.
Hydrogen gas is flowed through the apparatus throughout the
experiment to prevent the air for entering it.

6.5 Voltaic Cell
1. Simple voltaic cell Uses two metal plates being immersed in an electrolyte (must contain
one of the metal ions).
Two different metals used must have different positions in theelectrochemical series.
Voltage can be measured by using voltmeter. The further the distance between those two metals in electrochemical
series, the higher the voltage produced.
Higher position of metal will donate electrons more easily to formpositive ion and become a negative terminal (anode).
Lower position of metal will accept electrons from the electrolyte toform metal and become a positive terminal (cathode).
This results in the thinning and thickening of the plates. Unstable and will decrease rapidly.

2. Daniell cell Produces more stable cell voltage. Cell built with two pieces of different metal immersed in a salt solution
of their respective metals.
Porous pot: to complete the circuit by allowing the transition of ions andseparate both solutions.
Porous pot can be replaced by salt bridge. Salt bridge: consists of filter paper soaked with a concentrated salt
solution such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate,
ammonium chloride and dilute sulphuric acid.
Weaknesses: Electrolyte can spill out easily. Difficult to carry around. Voltage produced decreases quickly due to the polarity of the
cell(formation of gas bubbles around the electrodes)

cell.
