2.1 Early models of atom
2.1.1 Democritus
2.1.2 John Dalton
2.1.3 J.J.Thompson
2.1.4 Ernest Rutherford
2.1.1 Democritus (460 B.C. – 370 B.C.)
Greek
philosopher
(“atomos”)IDEAS
1.All matter composed of
atoms in void
2.Atoms were indivisible &
indestructible
3.Properties of atom differ in
shape, arrangement and sizes
IDEAS
4.Shape of atom
determined
the substance properties
*Eg:
-Fire atoms had sharp points
-Wine atoms were spheres
-Clay atoms were jagged
2.1.2 John Dalton (1766 – 1844)
2.1.3 J.J Thomson – (1856 -1940)
2.1.3 J.J Thomson – (1856 -1940)
Sir William Crookes - 1875
From
experiments he
was able to prove
the ray was
matter
When he connected
the plates to the + and
-
terminals of a high
voltage battery he
observed a
mysterious glowing
blue ray
He removed
almost all
the air from the
tube and sealed
it
Constructed a glass
tube
with two metal
plates inside it
Extra Note
2.1.3 J.J Thomson – (1856 -1940)
2.1.3 J.J Thomson – (1856 -1940)
2.1.3 J.J Thomson – (1856 -1940)
Result’s
Experiment
The ray composed of negatively charged
matter
The ray attracted to + plate and
repelled by - plate
100 years earlier, Dalton proposed
atoms were neutral, solid spheres
Thomson’s experiment disproved
Dalton’s theory
IDEAS
Proposed that matter was made of
atoms with negatively charged
particles embedded in a positive
cloud
He called these negative particles
“electrons”.
The negative particles and positive
cloud neutralized each other so the
atom had an overall neutral charge.
2.1.3 J.J Thomson – (1856 -1940)
Plum Pudding Model
2.1.4 ERNEST RUTHERFORD
(1871-1937)
Rutherford used
this alpha particle
to investigate the
structure
Rutherford and
Geiger in the
Cavendish Lab of
the atom.
This particle was
called an
alpha particle
(α).
One type of
radioactivity is
when
an atom throws out
a positively
charged particle
from the nucleus
4. A screen
around the gold
to detect
where the alpha
particles were
traveling.
2. He fired these positive particles at a
thin piece of gold (dense metal).
3. This produced a beam of alpha particles
traveling in a straight line
1. He encased
uranium in lead
(which absorbs
alpha particles)
2.1.4 ERNEST RUTHERFORD
(1871-1937)
Gold Foil Experiment
Uranium is a radioactive
element that gives off
positive particles
(alpha particles).
Rutherford used these
positive particles to
investigate the makeup of
the atom.
URANIUM
2.1.4 ERNEST RUTHERFORD
(1871-1937)
•Rutherford shot alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold to
observe what happened when the positive α particles
passes through the gold atoms.
•If Thompson’s model was correct, the alpha particles
should pass through the diffused positive cloud with ease.
2.1.4 ERNEST RUTHERFORD
(1871-1937)
Gold Foil experiment
He concluded that the
atom had a dense,
positive central nucleus
composed of + charged
protons
He proposed his
Planetary Model of the Atom.
His model created positively
charged protons located in the
nucleus and placed
electrons in orbit around the
nucleus - like
planets around the sun.
2.1.4 ERNEST RUTHERFORD
(1871-1937)
• Based on his experimental evidence:
–The atom is mostly empty space
–All the positive charge, and almost all the
mass is concentrated in a small area in the
center. He called this a “nucleus”
–The electrons distributed around the nucleus,
and occupy most of the volume
–His model was called a “nuclear model”

SUMMARY
· Dalton's model of the atom - solid, tiny, indivisible
particles.
· Thomson's model - often describe as the "plum
pudding" model - electrons are scattered throughout the
atom.
· Rutherford's model - includes the solid nucleus in
the center of the atom.
OUTLINE
2.2 Modern models of atom
2.2.1 Niels Bohr
2.2.2 James Chadwid
2.2.1 NIELS BOHR
Modification of Rutherford Model
The Bohr model of the atom is based
on the quantum mechanics.
2.2.1 NIELS BOHR
1
• Electrons orbit the nucleus (in orbits) that have a set size and
energy (7 Energy level)
2
• The energy of the orbit is related to its size. The height energy is
found in the largest orbit
3
• The arrangement of these electrons in certain energy levels
determines the chemical and physical properties of the elements
4
• Radiation is absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from
one orbit to another. And the energy change E = E2 – E1

2.2.2 JAMES CHADWICK
1
• In 1932 James Chadwick discovered a 3rd
subatomic particle in the atom
2
• He called this particle a neutron because it
was neutral
3
• He proposed that neutrons resided in the
nucleus of the atom along with protons

Measuring Atomic Mass
• Instead of grams (because the numbers would
be too small), the unit we use is the Atomic
Mass Unit (amu)
• It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a
Carbon-12 atom.
– Carbon-12 chosen because of its isotope purity.
• Each isotope has its own atomic mass, thus
we determine the average from percent
bundance.
2.3.2.3 Atomic mass
 Eg: How heavy is an atom of oxygen?
 It depends, because there are different kinds
of oxygen atoms.
 We are more concerned with the average
atomic mass.
2.3.2.3 Atomic mass
To calculate the average:
• Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope
by it’s abundance (expressed as a
decimal), then add the results.
A = [(mass of isotope) (%abundance) ] + [(mass of isotope) %abundance)] +
100

Atomic mass is the average of all the naturally occurring
isotopes of that element.
Carbon = 12.011
2.3.2.3 Atomic mass
The natural abundance for boron isotopes is:
19.9% 10B (10.013 amu) and 80.1% 11B (11.009amu). Calculate the
atomic weight of boron.
Atomic Mass = [19.9)(10.013)] + [(80.1)(11.009)]
100%
= [199] + [882]
100%
= 10.81 amu
so, the atomic weight of B = 10.81 amu
PROBLEM 1
Verify that the atomic mass of magnesium of 24.31 amu, given the
following: 24Mg= 23.985042 amu, 78.99%
25Mg= 24.985837 amu, 10.00%
26Mg= 25.982593 amu, 11.01%
Atomic mass = [(0.7899)(23.985042)] + [(0.1)(24.985837)] +
[(0.1101)(25.982593)]
= 18.946 + 2.499 + 2.861
= 24.306 amu
PROBLEM 2
Solution:
PROBLEM 3
The atomic mass of lithium is 6.94 amu, the naturally occurring isotopes
are 6Li = 6.015121 amu, and 7Li = 7.016003 amu. Determine the
percent abundance of each isotope.
6.94 = [(% 6Li)(6.015121)] + [(%7Li)(7.016003)]
Since I don’t know what the percentage are, I will have to use variables.
100% of Lithium is determined by these two naturally occurring
isotopes.
We will let 6Li = x and 7 Li = 1-x; we use 1 – x instead of 100
– x because the small number is easier to work with.
(in other words we reduced 100% to decimal form 1.00)
Solution:
PROBLEM 4PROBLEM 3
6.94 = [(% 6Li)(6.015121)] + [(%7Li)(7.016003)]
6.94 = [(x)(6.015121)] +[(1-x)(7.016003)]
6.94 = 6.015121x + 7.016003 – 7.016003x
6.94 -7.016003 = (6.015121x - 7.016003x)
-0.076003 = -1.000882 x
Solve for x:
x = 0.075936
6Li = x and 7 Li = 1-x
Therefore, 6Li = 0.075936 x 100% = 7.59%
7Li = (1- 0.075936 ) x 100% =
Copper exists as two isotopes: 63Cu (62.9298 amu) and 65Cu
(64.9278 amu). What are the percent abundances of the isotopes?
Atomic mass for Cu = 63.546 amu 63Cu % = 1-x 65Cu % = x
63.546 = [(1-x)(62.9298)] + [(x)(64.9278)]
63.546 = 62.9298 - 62.9298x + 64.9278x
1.3818 = 1.998x
x = 1.3818 / 1.998
x = 0.6916
65Cu = 0.6916 x 100% =69.16%
63Cu = 1 – x = 1 – 0.6916 = 0.3084 x 100% =30.84%
PROBLEM 4
Solution:
PROBLEM 5
Lithium has an elemental atomic mass of 6.941 and has two
naturally occurring isotopes, 6Li and 7Li. Their masses are
6.0151 and 7.0160 respectively. What are the natural
abundances (to 2 decimal places in percentage) of the isotopes
of Lithium?
Answer:
6Li: 7.49%, 7Li: 92.51%
• Frederick Soddy (1877-1956)
• Proposed the idea of isotopes in 1912
• Elements with the same number of
protons and a different number of
neutrons (thus have different masses)
• different masses

  • 47. Measuring Atomic Mass • Instead of grams (because the numbers would be too small), the unit we use is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu) • It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a Carbon-12 atom. – Carbon-12 chosen because of its isotope purity. • Each isotope has its own atomic mass, thus we determine the average from percent bundance. 2.3.2.3 Atomic mass
  • 48.  Eg: How heavy is an atom of oxygen?  It depends, because there are different kinds of oxygen atoms.  We are more concerned with the average atomic mass. 2.3.2.3 Atomic mass
  • 49. To calculate the average: • Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by it’s abundance (expressed as a decimal), then add the results. A = [(mass of isotope) (%abundance) ] + [(mass of isotope) %abundance)] + 100 2.3.2.3 Atomic mass

Carbon = 12.011 2.3.2.3 Atomic mass
  • 51. The natural abundance for boron isotopes is: 19.9% 10B (10.013 amu) and 80.1% 11B (11.009amu). Calculate the atomic weight of boron. Atomic Mass = [19.9)(10.013)] + [(80.1)(11.009)] 100% = [199] + [882] 100% = 10.81 amu so, the atomic weight of B = 10.81 amu PROBLEM 1

Verify that the atomic mass of magnesium of 24.31 amu, given the following: 24Mg= 23.985042 amu, 78.99% 25Mg= 24.985837 amu, 10.00% 26Mg= 25.982593 amu, 11.01% Atomic mass = [(0.7899)(23.985042)] + [(0.1)(24.985837)] + [(0.1101)(25.982593)] = 18.946 + 2.499 + 2.861 = 24.306 amu PROBLEM 2 Solution:
  • 53. PROBLEM 3 The atomic mass of lithium is 6.94 amu, the naturally occurring isotopes are 6Li = 6.015121 amu, and 7Li = 7.016003 amu. Determine the percent abundance of each isotope. 6.94 = [(% 6Li)(6.015121)] + [(%7Li)(7.016003)] Since I don’t know what the percentage are, I will have to use variables. 100% of Lithium is determined by these two naturally occurring isotopes. We will let 6Li = x and 7 Li = 1-x; we use 1 – x instead of 100 – x because the small number is easier to work with. (in other words we reduced 100% to decimal form 1.00) Solution:
  • 54. PROBLEM 4PROBLEM 3 6.94 = [(% 6Li)(6.015121)] + [(%7Li)(7.016003)] 6.94 = [(x)(6.015121)] +[(1-x)(7.016003)] 6.94 = 6.015121x + 7.016003 – 7.016003x 6.94 -7.016003 = (6.015121x - 7.016003x) -0.076003 = -1.000882 x Solve for x: x = 0.075936 6Li = x and 7 Li = 1-x Therefore, 6Li = 0.075936 x 100% = 7.59% 7Li = (1- 0.075936 ) x 100% =
  • 55. Copper exists as two isotopes: 63Cu (62.9298 amu) and 65Cu (64.9278 amu). What are the percent abundances of the isotopes? Atomic mass for Cu = 63.546 amu 63Cu % = 1-x 65Cu % = x 63.546 = [(1-x)(62.9298)] + [(x)(64.9278)] 63.546 = 62.9298 - 62.9298x + 64.9278x 1.3818 = 1.998x x = 1.3818 / 1.998 x = 0.6916 65Cu = 0.6916 x 100% =69.16% 63Cu = 1 – x = 1 – 0.6916 = 0.3084 x 100% =30.84% PROBLEM 4 Solution:
