Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The atom is composed of three subatomic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.
- Electrons are found outside the nucleus, while protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.
- Electrons interact with other atoms, and their properties are:
- Symbol: e-
- Charge: -1e
- Mass: 9.194 x 10^(-31) kg, or approximately 1/1836 u
- Protons have a:
- Symbol: p+
- Charge: +1e
- Mass: 1.6726 x 10^(-27) kg, or approximately 1 u
- Neutrons have:
- Symbol: n
- Charge: 0
- Mass: 1.6749 x 10^(-27) kg, or approximately 1 u
Properties of Atoms
- Atomic Number: the number of protons in an atom, which is unique to each element and determines the element's identity.
- Mass Number: the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom, which is unique to each isotope.
- Isotopes: atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
- Ion Notation: 𝐴 𝑋 𝑍, where A is the mass number, X is the chemical symbol, and Z is the atomic number.
Ions
- Ions are atoms with an excess or lack of electrons.
- Anions have an excess of electrons and a negative charge.
- Cations have a lack of electrons and a positive charge.
- Ion symbols: Cu²⁺, Mg³⁻, K⁺, etc.
Atomic Mass
- Atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all the stable isotopes of an element in nature.
- It is usually a decimal value.
- Units are atomic mass units (u), defined as 1/12th of a carbon-12 atom.
Model Development of the Atom
- Democritus proposed the concept of indivisible particles (atoms) in 400 BCE.
- John Dalton developed a comprehensive theory of atoms in the early 1800s.
- J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 and proposed the Plum Pudding Model.
- Hantaro Nagaoka proposed the Saturnian Model in 1904.
- Ernest Rutherford confirmed the existence of a nucleus with alpha particles.
- Niels Bohr established that electrons move in distinct, spherical orbits with specific energy levels.
