Study Notes

Cathode Rays and Atomic Structure

Cathode rays are composed of negative particles, indicating the presence of electrons in all atoms.
Rutherford's experiments showed a small percentage of positively charged particles were deflected, leading to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.

Atomic Theory Development

Dalton formulated the basic principles of atomic theory, contributing to the understanding of matter.
Dalton’s atomic theory stated that atoms cannot be created or destroyed, supporting the law of conservation of mass.
Modern atomic theory includes refinements, such as acknowledging isotopes and subdivisions of atoms.

Atomic Composition and Isotopes

Atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers due to the presence of isotopes.
The mass number of an isotope is the total count of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Atomic number refers specifically to the number of protons in an element.

Laws of Proportions

The law of multiple proportions is illustrated with compounds like CO and CO2.
The law of definite proportions stipulates that the mass ratio of elements in a compound remains constant.

Measurements and Constants

A mole contains approximately 6.022 x 10²³ particles, known as Avogadro's number.
Molar mass represents the mass of one mole of a substance and is directly related to atomic mass.

Isotope Calculations

Atomic mass is weighed based on the natural isotopic abundance of an element.
For example, carbon-14 has 6 protons (atomic number) and 8 neutrons, defining its isotopic identity.

Average Atomic Mass

Average atomic mass of elements, such as oxygen, is calculated using the natural abundances and masses of its isotopes.
For oxygen, considering the isotopes oxygen-16, -17, and -18, the average atomic mass rounds to 15.999 amu.

Chemical Quantities and Moles

The mass of a substance is convertible to moles, such as 63.60 g of carbon equating to approximately 5.296 moles based on its molar mass.
The atomic mass of nickel (58.69 amu) relates to its sample size of 11.74 g, indicating it contains roughly 1.205 x 10²³ cations.

Conclusion on Atomic Structure

A neutral atom maintains equal numbers of protons and electrons, influencing its overall charge.
The study of atomic structure emphasizes the importance of protons, neutrons, and electrons in defining the properties of elements and compounds.
