Atom
a tiny unit of matter nature's basic particle
Democritus
believed matter was discontinuous
Democritus
believed in indivisible, smallest particles possible that he named atoms
Aristotle
believed matter was continuous
False statement from Dalton's Atomic Theory
Indivisible tiny particles called atoms make up all matter.
False statement from Dalton's Atomic Theory
All atoms of the same element are exactly alike in shape & mass.
True statement from Dalton's Atomic Theory
The atoms of different elements differ from one another.
True statement from Dalton's Atomic Theory
Atoms chemically combine in definite whole number ratios to form chemical compounds.
True statement from Dalton's Atomic Theory
Atoms are neither created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
JJ Thompson
discovered electron by using a cathode ray tube.
Robert Millikan
helped to discover the electron’s mass, along with the value of
First suggestion made after electron discovery
there must be something positive
Second suggestion made after electron discovery
there must be something more massive in the atom because the electron has such a small mass.
JJ Thompson
proposed “Plum Pudding” model.
Description of the Plum Pudding model
an atom was a blob of positively charged matter where the electrons were stuck like “raisins” in plum pudding.
Rutherford
shot alpha particles at a piece of gold foil.
Rutherford
concluded that an atom must have a tiny, but massive, positively charged nucleus surrounded by the electrons.
Rutherford
concluded from measurements that the atom is mostly empty space.
Rutherford
later discovered the proton (p+) as the particle of positive charge in the nucleus.
Rutherford
developed an atomic model to describe it structure, commonly called the solar system model.
James Chadwick
discovered the neutron (n0).
Atomic Number
the number of protons in an atom
Isotope
atoms of the same number of protons (same element) with a different number of neutrons.
Carbon-12 isotope
the standard which is assigned exactly 12.00 atomic mass units (u).
Mass Number
the number of protons and neutrons in an isotope.
Atomic Weight
a weighted average of the isotopes based on their mass compared to Carbon-12 and their relative abundance in nature
Niels Bohr
tied together the quantum idea with Rutherford’s model to develop his model of the hydrogen atom.
Bohr’s Theory
believed that electrons travel in specific, allowed orbits
Bohr's Theory
believed that when in these orbits, the electrons do not give off radiation
Bohr's Theory & the Quantum Theory
believed that an electron gains or loses energy only when moving from one orbit to the next
Changing orbits is referred to as
quantum leaps
Ground State
lowest energy state
Excited States
any states above ground
Louis DeBroglie
developed the theory that electrons travel as a wave
Schrödinger
derived an equation that mathematically proved the Quantum theory.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
allowed the quantum theory to be widely accepted
Orbitals
a three-dimensional shell, a fuzzy region of space where it is probable that you will find the electron, a probability cloud
Shapes and sizes of orbitals depend on
the energy of the electrons contained inside them.
Principle Quantum Number
describes main energy level
Principle Quantum
designated using the following sybolism n = 1, 2, 3, etc.
Angular Momentum Quantum Number
defines energy sublevels within the main energy levels
Angular Momentum Quantum Number
indicates the shape of the orbital, identified with a letter
s, p, d, f
letters used to describe the shape of the orbitals
Magnetic Quantum Number
describes an orbital’s orientation in space
Spin Quantum Number
describes an electron’s spin orientation
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers
Electron Configuration
the arrangement of electrons in orbitals
Phosphorus - 1s22s22p63s23p3
example of an electron configuration
Periods
Horizontal rows numbered 1-7
Groups
Also referred to as families, vertical columns
Column 1
alkali metals
Column 2
alkaline earth metals
Columns 3 to 12
transition metals (elements)
Column 17
halogens
Column 18
noble gases
Columns 1, 2, 13 to 18
representative elements
Rare Earth Elements
inner transition elements
Two Series contained in the Rare Earth Elements
Lanthanide Series & Actinide Series
The columns of representative elements are numbered according to
how many outer shell electrons there are.
Electron dot notations are used to represent
these outer shell electrons.
Valence Electrons
outer shell electrons used in bonding
Ion
an atom that gains or loses electrons
Metals
tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, cations
Nonmetals
tend to gain electrons to form negative ions, anions
