ATOMS: THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATTER Ms. Moore Honors Chemistry

THE ATOM • Democrites- described natures particles as an atom( indivisible) • Three laws to describe behavior of matter • 1) The law of conservation of matter- states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during chemical reactions or physical change. • 2) The law of definite proportions-.

• 3) The law of multiple proportions-

LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS

DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY • Elements are made of small,___________ particles called atoms • Atoms of an element are __________ and have the same mass and properties • Atoms combine to form compounds in small, ______________ • Chemical Reactions are __________________________________

STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM • Atoms contain ____________ and___________particles

• JJ Thompson proved that electrons existed by using a cathode ray tube • -Named the particle ______________ • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xKZRpAsWL8

• Milikans oil drop experimenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMfYHag7L

 Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment  Showed that if a drop of oil were exposed to X- Rays, it became charged from the air  1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs

ISOTOPES • Atoms of an element must have the same # of protons • Atomic Number–____________________ • Atoms of an element can have a different # of neutrons • Mass Number (A) – _______________________________ • Atoms of an element can have a different # of electrons • Charge = ____________________

PRACTICE • Ex: how many protons electrons and neutrons are there in an atom of chlorine 37?

MORE PRACTICE • How many protons, electrons , and neutrons make up an atom of bromine-80? • ______ Protons, ______Electrons, _______ Neutrons • Write the nuclear symbol for Carbon 13 • Write the notation for the isotope 15 electrons and 15 neutrons.

CHARGED ISOTOPES • If the isotope is charged such as 37 Cl -1 add the charge to the number of protons to get a total number of electrons. • P: _____ N: _____ E: ____therefore making the isotope have a charge of negative____

WEIGHTED ATOMIC MASS • The weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element. • 1) convert the percentage to decimal form • 2) multiply the relative abundance by the atomic mass of each isotope. • 3) add up each result

• Ex: What is the atomic mass of Chlorine? • 35Cl: 75.77% 34.969 amu • 37Cl: 24.23% 36.966 amu • ________________________ + _____________________ = __________

PERIODIC TABLE

PERIODIC TABLE • Developed by _______________in 1869 • Placed elements in groups (columns) based on their properties • Group (_______) • Vertical column of elements • Strongly related by properties* This is very important • Period (______) • Related by a systematic change in properties

• Alkali Metals

GROUPS

• ______ column • _______ Reactive • Reactivity Increases down the table • Never found naturally in the pure state • Na found as Na+…K as K+ • Soft, Low Densities • React with H2O to make Base

2 Na( s)  2 H2 O(l )  2 NaOH (aq)  H2 ( g)

ALKALI METALS

• Alkaline Earth Metals

GROUPS

• 2nd Column • Reactive, but less than Alkali Metals • Reactivity increases down the Periodic Table • Never found naturally in pure state • Soft, but harder than Alkali Metals • React with H2O to make Base

Mg( s)  2 H2 O(l )  Mg(OH ) 2 (aq)  H2 ( g)

ALKALI EARTH METALS

• Next to Last column • Highly reactive non-metals

HALOGENS

• Reactivity increases UP the Periodic Table • Rarely found naturally in the pure state

• Gases, Liquids and Solid • Colorful compounds in pure state

• Combine with Hydrogen to make Acids • HF, HCl, HBr, HI

H2 ( g)  Cl2 ( g)  2 HCl ( g)

HALOGENS

NOBLE GASES • Last Column • Almost completely non-reactive gases • Very Few compounds exist • Melting points and Boiling points differ by less than 10 ºC • Argon is 1.3% of air (by mass) • Discovered and obtained from fractional distillation of air

NOBLE METALS • Very non-reactive metals • Highly resistant to corrosion or oxidation • Found naturally in the pure state • Copper, Silver, Gold • Clean surfaces in a vacuum stay clean • Many lists include other metals • Especially Platinum & Palladium • Both of these will have a dirty surface quickly

• Properties • Good conductors of heat and electricity • Shiny surface (high luster) • Malleable • Ductile • Found on the left side of the table • Solids at Room Temperature • Most elements on the Periodic Table

METALS

NON-METALS • Properties • Poor conductors (heat and electricity) • Colorful substances in the pure state • Many gases and a few soft solids • Found on the extreme right side of the table

SEMIMETALS Also called metalloids Properties are between metals and non-metals Stair-step of elements that separate the two main types Everything to the left of the stair step • Metal • Everything to the right of the stair step • Non-metal • • • •

OTHER GROUPS • Main Group • Elements in 1st two and last 6 columns • Make up the most abundant elements • Transition Metals • Center Block of metals (called “d-block”) • Inner Transition Metals • Block at the bottom of the table (“f-block”)

SUMMARY

Metals

Non-metals

NATURAL STATES • Most of the elements are found as a solid when pure (“standard state”) • Liquids • Mercury, Bromine • Gallium has a very low melting point (29.8 ºC) • Gases • Noble Gases • Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine

ELEMENTS • Pure elements are not always individual atoms • Diatomic Elements – elements which are always found pure as a bonded pair of atoms- You must have these memorized • • • • • • •

Hydrogen (H2) Nitrogen (N2) Oxygen (O2) Fluorine (F2) Chlorine (Cl2) Bromine (Br2) Iodine (I2)

ALLOTROPES • Pure substances found naturally in different forms of the same physical state • Carbon – 40+ known allotropes • Graphite – chemically stable • Flat sheets of carbon

• Diamond – chemically unstable • 3-D bonded structure • Extremely hard and strong • 1 giant molecule
