Cathode ray –
Thomson’s experiment that was used to support the idea of electrons. The negatively charged electrons were deflected toward the positive end of the magnet.
1904 – JJ Thomson’s Model
●Plum Pudding Model (or Chocolate Chip Cookie Model)
●His Theory: The majority of the atom is positively charged, and the electrons are embedded in the positive “core”.
1911 – Rutherford’s Model
●His Theory: He identified the nucleus and said that it was positively charged. He also said that the electrons were randomly placed around the outside of the nucleus
1913 – Bohr’s Model
●His Theory – He added to Rutherford’s model by including neutrons in the nucleus as well as stating that the electrons were traveling in fixed orbits around the nucleus (like planets around the sun)
1928 – Electron Cloud Model
●This model is the currently accepted model.
●EXTREMELY small, heavy nucleus that contains the protons and neutrons
●Electrons are very small and light and they travel around the nucleus randomly within energy levels but not in a fixed path
PROTONS
Positive
Nucleus
Neutrons
Neutral nucleus
Electrons
Negative move in space around nucleus
Protons and neutrons are about
10,000 times bigger than electrons
If you draw an line across the diameter of a penny, there are
810,000,000 atoms of Copper
Atomic Number -
The number of protons in the nucleus •Every element on the Periodic Table has an unique atomic number
Mass number
The number of protons and neutrons
Positively charged atoms are equal to
Negatively charged atoms
Ions
Ions
What atoms turn into when they gain or lose electrons
•To find the charge on an ion, compare the # of protons to the # of electrons
Isotopes -
Isotopes -
Atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
●The only real difference between two isotopes of the same atom is their…
Mass
Atomic Mass-
Atomic Mass-
The average mass of all the atom’s isotopes
●This is the decimal number on the periodic table
●Unit is amu (atomic mass unit)
Heisenberg university principle
We cannot know the position and the speed of a moving object simultaneously
Principal energy levels
N=1, n=2, n=3, n=4, etc
Which energy level is the lowest of energies and is the easiest for electrons to live in?
1st energy level
The number of sub levels is…
Equal to the value of n
2nd sub level
(N=2) has 2 sub levels, 2s and 2p
Order of letter sub levels
S,p,d,f
