Study Notes

Football Team Analogy

  • Members of a football team exhibit individual differences despite being part of the same unit.
  • Players have varying body sizes; kickers are typically smaller than quarterbacks.
  • Positions like tight end and defensive tackle differ in weight, showcasing variability within the team.

Atomic Theory and Isotopes

  • John Dalton's atomic theory (1804) proposed that all atoms of an element are identical, which has been disproven.
  • The discovery of the neutron challenged the idea of identical atoms.
  • Frederick Soddy's research on radioactive materials revealed that some elements have different isotopes with varying atomic masses.
  • The term "isotope" comes from Greek words meaning "equal place," describing atoms that share outer characteristics but differ internally.

Characteristics of Isotopes

  • Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different mass numbers, due to variations in the number of neutrons.
  • Carbon naturally exists as three isotopes: carbon-12 (6 neutrons), carbon-13 (7 neutrons), and carbon-14 (8 neutrons).
  • All carbon isotopes maintain an atomic number of 6 and have 6 electrons for electrical neutrality.

Natural Occurrence and Stability

  • Most elements consist of a mixture of isotopes; carbon has three natural isotopes.
  • Heavier elements can have multiple isotopes; tin has ten stable isotopes, the highest known for any element.
  • Isotopes influence atomic mass but do not affect the chemical reactivity of an element.
  • Chemical behavior is determined by the number of protons and electrons, leading to identical chemical reactivity in isotopes like carbon-12 and carbon-13.
