The size of the nucleus compared with the size of the atom is like ‘the size
of a man’s fist compared with the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral’ (Rutherford).
INSIDE AN ATOM
The nucleus contains almost the entire mass of the atom.
Tiny electrons whizz around the nucleus.
Almost all of the atom is empty space.

ELECTRONSElectrons can’t just go
anywhere. They move in spaces called orbitals.

Diagram not to scale.
Orbitals have complicated shapes
which are represented by the circles.
The further away they are from the nucleus, the higher the energy
of the electrons.

ENERGY LEVELS ON A HILLSIDE
Part of a hill
These stones have least energy because they are
nearest the bottom.
This stone has most energy because it has furthest to fall.
Each different height from the ground is an ENERGY LEVEL. Stones must be at one level or
another, not in between.

FORMING POSITIVE IONS
The more energy the electron already has, the less extra energy is needed to remove it.
Complete orbitals shield the outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus.
This means it takes less energy to remove an electron from an outer orbital than from an inner one.
Li Li+ + e– requires 520 kJ/mol.
Cs Cs+ + e– requires 376 kJ/mol.
Given enough extra energy, an electron can escape from the pull
of the nucleus.
The higher its energy level, the less extra energy it will
need.
Na Na+ + e– requires 496 kJ/mol.
Estimate the values for K and Rb.

FORMING NEGATIVE IONS
The stronger the attraction of the nucleus for an extra electron, the more energy will be given out when a negative ion is formed.
Complete orbitals shield the outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus. So the larger the atom, the less its attraction for an extra electron.
Cl + e– Cl– gives out 349 kJ/mol. Estimate the value
for iodine.
The nucleus can attract
electrons into the outer shell of the atom.
The smaller the atom, the
stronger the pull of the nucleus.
Br + e– Br –
gives out 325 kJ/mol.
