First stage in atom change timeline
Fitfth century BCE (before the common eraa)
-The greek atom
-thought atoms would be indivisible .
Second stage in atom change timeline
A
Early 1800S - Dalton’s atomic theory :
He stated :
-Atoms are tiny particles that make up elements.
-All aotms of a given elemnt are the same .
-Atoms of one element re different form those of every other element .
-Developed the first stable of atomic msses .
Third stage in atom change timeline
(1897-1906) J.J Thompson - electron discovery .
He discovered that cathode rays were a stream of partiles with the following properties .
-Had negative charge .
-Could be deflected by both magnet + electric field .
-Very very small mass .
-Concluded electrons came form the atoms of the electrpdes themselves . (DALTON DISAPPROVED).
Fourth stage in the atom change timeline .
(1909-1911) Ernest Rutherfords gold-leaf experiment .
alpha particles were filed at a thin sheet of gold foil , the results were .
-Most paricles were not deflected t all .
-However a small percentage were deflected by the source .
-Some deflected bck towards the source .
Fourth stage in the atom change timeline . (1911 ; new model proposed)
-Positively charge of an atom + most of its mass re cocentrated t the center (the nucleus ) .
-Negative electrons orbit the nucleus .
-Most of an atom’s vpolume would be the space between the tiny nucleus + negative electrons .
-So positive charge = negative charge .
Q
Fifth stage int he atom changed timeline
(913) Niels Bohr;s planetary model and HENRY mOSELEY’S WORK ON ATOMIC NUMBERS .
-Bohr altered Rutherford’s model to allow electron to only follow certain paths . Or they would spiral into the nucleus periodic properties Bohr;s model helped to explain .
-Spectracal lines seen in emission spectrum .
-The energy of electrons at different distances from the nucleus
Henry moseleys’s work (fifth stage continued)
discovered a link between x-raus freqiemcoes amd am elment’s atomic number . Rutherford’s discovery of the proton was thena ble to explain Moseley;s findings that an atom;s atomic number was linked to x-ray frequencies . WWe know atomic number = protons .
Sixth stage in the atom change timeline
-Chadwick discovers the neutron
He observed a type of radiation made up of uncharged particles with apporximately the same mass as a portien now called neutron .
Sixth stage on the timeline
-1923-26
in 1923 the frnech physicist called Lous de Broglie suggesgted that prticles could hve the nature of both a wave and qne q pqerticle .
-In 1926 the austrain phsycis erwin chrodinger suggest that an electron had wave-like properties ina na tom . He also introduced the idea of atomic orbitals .
Lst stage on timeline
Modern day
-It is now thought that protons and neutrons themselves are made up of even smaller particls called quakrs . Our understaning of the aom is likely to progress and sceince andvances further and further .
Reactions of isotopes - wh y do different isotopes of the same elements react in the same way
This is because
-Chemical reactions involve electrons , and isotopes have the same number nd arrangement of electrons .
-Neutrons make no difference to chemical reactivityy .
formula of the four acids you need to know check sheet
HCL –> Hydrochloric acid
nitric acid
sulfuric acid
ethanoic acid
-Key is that all acids contain the element hydorgen .
-when we dissolve an acid in water , the hydrogen is released s the hydrogen ion H+
-The hydrogen ion is simply a proton -CHECK THE SHEET - Scientists say that the acid molecule dissociates - splits
-when this happens, it also produces a negative ion (chloride ion in the case of HCL ).
-In the case of hydrocholoric acid, every acid molecule dissociates + releases the hydrogen ion.
Therefore, we say
HCL IS A strong acid .
-sulfuric + ntiric acid are also strong acids .
check the sheet ofr the weak acid equation
-in the case of ethanoic acid , only a small percentage of the acid molecules dissociate. Therefore as it only partially dissociates it is a weak acid.
Bases - check sheet
metal hydroxides , metal carbonates, and ammonia.
what is a base
it can neutalise an acid to porduce a salt .
neutralisation reaction , check sheet
- when we form the salt , the metal ion in the metal oxide has replaced the hdyrogen ions in the acid .
-In this case ,t he copper ion from the copper oxide has sreplaced the hydrogen ions int he sulfuric acid to form the salt + copper sulfate.
neutralisaiton reaction (2)
-Can also see the oxide has formed formt he oxide from the copper oxide and hydrogen ions have formed water.
check sheet to see when a metal hydroxide reacts with an acid .
…
-cabornate + acid —> salt + water + carbondixoide .
alkalis are BASES that DISSOLVE in water
-both of these re bases, as they neutralise aicds, producing salt.
-copper oxide is insoluble in acid, so is a base only.
however, sodium hydroxide is soluble in water. When we dissolve sodium hydroxide in water, we make a sodium hydroxide solution.
sodium hydoricide solution is an alkali
All group 1 metal hydroxides are soluble in water and form alkalis .
need to learn this .
ammonia is also an example of this
check sheet for equation
-Ammonia is a gas that is highly soluble in water , producing the alkali ammonia hydroxide .
