Study Notes
Atomic Structure History
- Democritus (460/370 BC) proposed the concept of the atom, suggesting all matter is composed of indivisible particles called "atoms".
- Atoms were considered different in size and properties.
John Dalton's Atomic Theory (1766/1844)
- All matter is composed of small particles called atoms.
- All atoms of a given element are identical (same size, mass, and chemical properties).
- Atoms of different elements are different in size, mass, and chemical properties.
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.
Cathode Rays
- Crookes tube experiments demonstrated cathode rays.
- Cathode rays are composed of negatively charged particles (electrons).
- Cathode rays travel in straight lines.
- Cathode rays are affected by magnetic and electric fields.
- Cathode rays have a heating effect.
Thomson's Model (1897)
- Atoms are composed of a spherical positive charge with negative electrons embedded within.
- Atoms are electrically neutral because the positive and negative charges balance.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment
- Measured the charge of an electron.
- Found the electron to have a negative charge.
Rutherford's Model (Gold Foil Experiment)
- A beam of alpha particles was directed at a thin gold foil.
- Most of the particles passed straight through the foil.
- Some particles were deflected at large angles.
- A few particles bounced back.
- Showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a dense, positively charged nucleus at the center .
Rutherford's Atomic Assumptions
- Atom contains a small, dense, positively-charged nucleus at its center.
- Most of the atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus.
- Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
Bohr's Atomic Theory
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.
- Electrons can jump between energy levels by absorbing or emitting energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
- The energy of an electron is quantized.
- The number of energy levels in an element in a normal state is equal to 7.
Quantum Theory and Atomic Spectrum
- Electromagnetic radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
- The radiation travels in waves characterized by wavelength and frequency.
- The wavelength is the distance between two peaks or troughs of a wave.
- The frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point per second.
Quantum Numbers
- Principal quantum number (n): indicates the energy level.
- Secondary quantum number (l) indicates the sub-energy level shape.
- Magnetic quantum number (ml): indicates the orientation of the orbital in space.
- Spin quantum number (ms): indicates the electron spin.
Electron Distribution
- Electrons enter lower energy levels first before filling higher energy levels.
- Hund's rule: electrons occupy each orbital singly before any orbital is doubly occupied.
- The distribution of electrons in atoms can be represented by electron configuration diagrams.
Periodic Table
- Arrangement of elements based on their atomic structure.
- Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
- Elements in the same period can exhibit recurring properties as the number of electrons increase.
Electronegativity
- Measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
Ionization Potential
- Amount of energy to remove the least bound electron from an atom.
Chemical Bonds
- Ionic bonds: transfer of electrons between atoms.
- Covalent bonds: sharing of electrons between atoms.
