4.1 Atoms—Basic Units of Matter
What is the current atomic model?
• Matter is everything that has mass and takes up space, such as gases, solids, and liquids.
4.1 Atoms—Basic Units of Matter
• Matter is not sound, heat, or light—these are forms of energy.
• An atom is a very small particle that makes up all matter.
Parts of the Atom
• The nucleus is the region located in the center of the atom.
• A particle with a positive charge is a proton.
• A particle with a negative charge is an electron.
• A neutron has no charge.
4.1 Atoms—Basic Units of Matter

4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
How were electrons discovered?• Scientists have put together a detailed model of
atoms and their parts.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
• Cathode-ray tubes were used in early experiments on atoms.
How were electrons discovered? (cont.)
• A cathode ray is a stream of particles that can be seen when an electric current passes through a vacuum tube.
• The ray travels from a negatively charged disk at one end to a positively charged disk at the other end.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Thomson’s Experiments• Thomson discovered the cathode rays did not travel in a
straight line, but bent towards the positively charged plate.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Thomson’s Experiments (cont.)
• Opposite charges attract each other.
• Thomson concluded the cathode ray must have a negative charge and named the particles electrons.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Thomson’s Atomic Model• Thomson proposed that an atom was a positively
charged sphere.
• Electrons mixed in to balance the charge.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Discovering the Nucleus• In Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, particles were shot
through a thin sheet of gold into a detector behind the foil.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Discovering the Nucleus (cont.)
• Rutherford predicted the path of the particles would bend only slightly because the particles would not come upon a charge large enough to strongly repel them.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Discovering the Nucleus (cont.)
• Most of the particles did pass straight though.• Some particles were strongly
bounced to the side.
• One in about 8000 bounced completely backwards.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Discovering the Nucleus (cont.)
• If the positive charge was spread evenly, all the particles would have passed through the foil with only a small direction change.
• Only something with a larger mass and positive charge could cause some of the particles to bounce backwards.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Rutherford’s Atomic Model
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Rutherford’s Atomic Model (cont.)
• The positively charged nucleus is in the center of an atom.
• Electrons with a negative charge travel around empty space surrounding the nucleus.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Completing Rutherford’s Model• Rutherford also discovered the proton, a particle with
a positive charge.
• Rutherford knew the mass of a proton, but could not account for the total mass of an atom.
• Rutherford’s theory was later confirmed when the existence of the neutron—a neutral atomic particle with a mass similar to a proton but without a charge—was proved.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Weakness in the Rutherford Model
• How are electrons arranged?
• Why do different elements have different chemical properties?
• Why are some elements more reactive than others?
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Bohr and the Hydrogen Atom• Rutherford thought the electrons moved around the
nucleus like a ball swinging on a rope at any distance.
• Bohr thought electrons traveled in circles with a certain diameter.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Bohr and the Hydrogen Atom (cont.)
• Bohr studied hydrogen because it has only one electron.
• When atoms are excited, they absorb and release energy as light.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
The Spectrum of Hydrogen• Light passing through a prism is broken into a continuous spectrum of light
—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet blend into each other.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
The Spectrum of Hydrogen (cont.)
• Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths and higher energies than visible light.
• Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower energies than visible light.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
The Spectrum of Hydrogen (cont.)
• When excited, hydrogen and neon give off unique narrow bands of light on the spectrum that are called spectral lines.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Spectral Lines and Energy Levels• Each color in a spectral line is a different wavelength
and different energy.
• Electrons can have only certain amounts of energy.
• Electrons can only move at a certain distance from the nucleus that corresponds to that amount of energy.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Spectral Lines and Energy Levels (cont.)
• The region in space that an electron can move about the nucleus is called the energy level.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Electrons in the Bohr Atom• The electrons can move only in an orbit that is a set
distance from the nucleus.
• Each energy level can hold a certain number of electrons.
Bohr’s Model
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Electrons in the Bohr Atom (cont.)
• Electrons fill the energy levels in order.– The lowest level is filled first.
– The second level has no electrons until the first level is full.
– The first level holds 2 electrons, the second level holds 8 electrons.
– The last energy level may or may not be filled.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Electrons in the Bohr Atom (cont.)
• This diagram shows how electrons are placed in the elements with atomic numbers 1–10.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Bohr’s Model and Chemical Properties• Elements have different chemical properties because they
have different numbers of electrons in their outer energy level.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Bohr’s Model and Chemical Properties• Unreactive elements have the exact number of
electrons needed to fill their outer energy level.
• Elements with incomplete outer energy levels are likely to form compounds.
(cont.)
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Limitations of Bohr’s Model
• Energy levels were like circular orbits.
• Bohr’s theory works for the simple hydrogen atom, but not for more complex elements.
4.2 Discovering Parts of the Atom
Atomic Model
The Electron Cloud Model• The electron cloud is the region surrounding an atomic
nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found.
• Electrons are more likely to be near the nucleus because they are attracted to the positive charge of the protons.
