Early Ideas of the atom
•5th Century BC - Democritus
• All matter consists of very small, indivisible particles.
• Called them atmos
Sunday, August 18, 13
Alchemists• Interested in transmutation of elements
• Mystical aspects - Philosopher's Stone
• Developed many techniques still in use:
• Distillation
• Purification by crystallization
• Some of the first users of the Scientific Method
• Abu Musa Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber)
• Paracelsus (Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim)
• "The dose makes the poison"
• 'Father' of toxicology
Geber, ca. 721-815
Paracelsus, 1492-1541

Law of Conservation of Mass• Roots in Ancient Greek and Indian (Jain) philosophy
• Empedocles ca.450 BCE "Nothing comes from nothing"
• Mahavira ca.500 BCE 'The universe and its constituents cannot be destroyed or created'.
• Nasīr al-Dīn al-Tūsī ca.1250 AD
• "A body of matter cannot disappear completely. It only changes its form, condition, composition, color and other properties and turns into a different complex or elementary matter".
• Mikhail Lomonosov (1748) showed conservation so mass experimentally
• Antoine Lavoisier (1774) "Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction".
• Mercury (II) oxide (solid) + heat ---> Mercury (liquid) + Oxygen (gas)
• 50.0 g 46.3 g 3.7 g

Law of Definite Proportions• 1799 - Joseph Proust
• Different samples of the same compound always contain its constituent elements in the same proportion by mass.
• Lead sulfide combines in a ratio of 6.5 g lead to 1 g sulfur.
• Doesn't matter how much of either you start with: 10 g of lead will react with 1 g of sulfur, leaving 3.5 g of unreacted lead behind.
• Works because atoms of a particular element have the same mass.
• Lead (Pb) 207.2, Sulfur (S) 32.06
• Lead sulfide contains one lead atom and one sulfur atom,
• 207.2:32.06 (6.46:1)

Law of Multiple Proportions• Elements can combine in more than one fixed mass ratio to form
different compounds
• Example: carbon and oxygen
• Can combine in a 3:4 ratio and 3:8 ratio
• 3 g carbon + 4 g oxygen make 7 g carbon monoxide
• 3 g carbon + 8 g oxygen make 11 g carbon dioxide
• Note that ratio of the oxygen masses is 2:1
• Law of multiple proportions says that ratio of elements in multiple compounds will be simple whole numbers

Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1808)1. Elements are composed of extremely small particles called
atoms. 2. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same
size, mass and chemical properties. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements.
3. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element. The relative number of atoms of each element in a given compound is always the same (fixed ratio).
4. Chemical reactions involve only the rearrangement of the atoms. Atoms are not created or destroyed in the chemical reactions.
The idea that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions is known as the Law of the Conservation of Mass. 2.1

Application of Dalton’s Laws • Dalton's Laws helped to explain several phenomena
associated with chemical compounds.• The Law of Definite Proportions:
• When atoms combine to form compounds they combine in a fixed ratio.
• Atoms of a given element all have the same weight.
Water, 2H + 1O Nitrogen, 2N Ammonia, 3H + 1N

Application of Dalton’s Laws • The Law of Multiple Proportions
• Definition: If two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in ratios of small whole numbers.
• Why?• Different compounds made up of the same elements differ in the
number of atoms of each kind that combine.Sunday, August 18, 13

Atomic StructureDefinition: Atom - the basic unit of an element that can enter into chemical combination.
Dalton believed atoms were indivisible.Experiments beginning ca. 1850 showed atoms have internal structure.
Radiation: The emission and transmission of energy through space in the form of waves.

An ion is an atom, or group of atoms, that has a net positive or negative charge.cation – ion with a positive charge If a neutral atom loses one or more electrons it becomes a cation.
anion – ion with a negative charge If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons it becomes an anion.
Na 11 protons11 electrons Na+ 11 protons
10 electrons
Cl 17 protons17 electrons
Cl-17 protons18 electrons

NeutronsObservations:
H atoms have 1 p; He atoms have 2 pMass He/Mass H should = 2
BUT: measured mass He/mass H = 4
Walter Bothe and Herbert Becker (1930):Bombarded beryllium with alpha particles gave off electrically neutral radiationGamma ray?
Frederic Joliot-Curie (1932):Experiments with Bothe-Becker radiation showed that if it fell on paraffin, it could eject protons with very high energy.
Could not be a gamma ray - photons have no massJames Chadwick (1932):
Showed that Bothe-Becker radiation could eject protons when it fell on substances other than paraffin.Energies of the protons ejected could be accounted for, if mass of neutral particle = mass of proton
Rutherford hypothesized that a neutral third particle must exist.

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons in nucleus Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons = atomic number (Z) + number of neutrons

Development of the Periodic Table• Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1908)
• Saw a pattern of chemical properties in the known elements.
• Na similar to Li
• Mg similar to Be
• Made a set of cards that could be arranged based on this pattern (periodicity)
• Predicted that gaps in his table would be occupied by as yet undiscovered elements
• Gallium discovered in 1869, matched Mendeleev’s predicted properties

Atomic Mass• The weighted average of masses of the naturally occurring isotopes
of an element.
• Carbon-12 is defined as 12.00 amu
• All other elements masses are relative to carbon-12
• Chlorine has 2 naturally occurring isotopes:
• chlorine-35 (mass 34.97 amu) 75.77%
• chlorine-37 (mass 36.97 amu) 24.23%
• Atomic mass of chlorine = (34.97)(0.7577) + (36.97)(0.2433) = 35.45

Elements• 118 Known elements
• Elements are represented by a 1 or 2 character symbol.
• Sometimes based on English names:
• Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C)
• Helium (He), Cobalt (Co)
• Sometimes based on another language (e.g., Latin)
• Copper (Cu), Latin, Cuprum
• Tin (Sn) Latin, Stannum
• Mercury (Hg), Greek, Hydragyrum
• Tungsten (W), Sweedish, Wolfram
• Most elements are monatomic (exist as individual atoms)
• Some elements are diatomic (2-atom pairs): H2, N2, O2
• A few elements are polyatomic (groups of 3 or more atoms): sulfur (S8), phosphorus (P4)2.4
