Definition of Atoms
• Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all matter, not able to be split by ordinary chemical reactions
• greek word atomos which means “indivisible”. This is based upon the discontinuous theory of matter. (meaning matter can not continually be split and still remain the same)
HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
460 BC Democritus develops the idea of atoms
he pounded up materials in his pestle and
mortar until he had reduced them to
smaller and smaller particles which he
called
ATOMAATOMA
(greek for indivisible)
HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
• Aristotle modified an earlier theory that matter was made of four “elements”: earth, fire, water, air.
• Aristotle was wrong. However, his theory persisted for 2000 years.

HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
1808 John Dalton
suggested that all matter was made up of
tiny spheres that were able to bounce
around with perfect elasticity and called
themATOMIC THEORYATOMIC THEORY
• All matter is made of atoms.• Atoms of an element are identical.• Each element has different atoms.• Atoms of different elements combine in
constant ratios to form compounds.• Atoms are rearranged in reactions
HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
1898 Joseph John Thompson
found that atoms could sometimes eject a
far smaller negative particle which he
called an
ELECTRONELECTRON
HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
Thompson develops the idea that an atom was made up of
electrons scattered unevenly within an elastic sphere
surrounded by a soup of positive charge to balance the
electron's charge

HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
1910 Ernest Rutherford
oversaw Geiger and Marsden carrying out
his famous experiment.
they fired Helium nuclei at a piece of gold
foil which was only a few atoms thick.
they found that although most of them
passed through. About 1 in 10,000 hit

helium nuclei
They found that while most of the helium nuclei passed
through the foil, a small number were deflected and, to
their surprise, some helium nuclei bounced straight back.

HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
Rutherford’s new evidence allowed him to
propose a more detailed model with a
central nucleus.
He suggested that the positive charge
was all in a central nucleus. With this
holding the electrons in place by electrical
attraction
However, this was not the end of the story.
HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM
1913 Niels Bohr
studied under Rutherford at the Victoria
University in Manchester.
Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by
adding that the electrons were in
orbits. Rather like planets orbiting the
sun. With each orbit only able to
contain a set number of electrons.

Mass
• Amu = atomic mass unit
• 1 amu = 1.66 x 10-24g
Relative Sizes
• Thus 99.99% of the mass of an atom comes from the nucleus (protons and neutrons) and essentially nothing from e-
• the major volume of atoms coming from the electron cloud
• Remember that most of the atom is empty space like spinning blades of a fan take up more space than any blade would if not moving

Calculating subatomic particles
• p+ = atomic number
• n0 = mass # - p+
because mass of atom is p+ + n0
get the mass # by rounding average atomic mass on
periodic table to nearest whole number if needed
• e- = p+ - charge
because charge of atom/ion is p+ - e-

Lithium Isotopes• Li-6 is the chemical symbol
for Lithium with a mass number of 6 amu. (this is 3 protons plus 3 neutrons in nucleus.
• Li-7 has 3 protons and 4 neutrons in nucleus and a mass of 7 amu.
• The atomic mass (or average weight) of Lithium is 6.941. Therefore which isotope is most abundant in nature?

Electrons are arranged in Energy Levels
or Shells around the nucleus of an atom.
• first shell a maximum of 2 electrons
• second shell a maximum of 8

There are two ways to represent the atomic
structure of an element or compound;
1. Electronic Configuration
2. Dot & Cross Diagrams

represented numerically by the number of
electrons in their shells and number of shells. For

SUMMARYSUMMARY
1. The Atomic Number of an atom = number of
protons in the nucleus.
2. The Atomic Mass of an atom = number of
Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus.
3. The number of Protons = Number of Electrons.
4. Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells.
5. Each shell can only carry a set number of electrons.
