see
Example: From the previous observations, a
chemical change has occurred.

Qualitative vs. Quantitative

not involve numbers
Quantitative observations ones that DO
use numbers (quantity)

Qualitative vs. Quantitative

Extensive vs. Intensive Properties

extensive DOES depend on the amount
of matter present

Chapter 3: Atoms
The Building Blocks of Matter
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that
retains the chemical properties of that element.

The Early Atom

As early as 400 B.C., Democritus
called natures basic particle the
atomon based on the Greek word
meaning indivisible.
Aristotle succeeded Democritus
and did not believe in atoms.
Instead, he thought that all matter
was continuous. It was his theory
that was accepted for the next 2000
years. (Read page 43 of your
textbook.)

Basic Laws of Matter

Law of Conservation of Mass- mass is
neither created nor destroyed during
ordinary chemical reactions or physical
changes.
CH4 + 2O2 2H2O + CO2
16g + 64g 36g + 44g
Antoine Lavoisier
stated this about 1785

Basic Laws of Matter

Law of Definite Proportions no matter how much

salt you have, it is always 39.34% Na and 60.66% Cl by

mass.

Example: Sodium chloride always contains

39.34% Na and 60.66% Cl by mass.
2NaCl
100g
116.88g

2Na + Cl2
39.34g + 60.66g

? + ?

Joseph Louis Proust

stated this in 1794.

Basic Laws of Matter

Law of Multiple Proportions- Two or more
elements can combine to form different
compounds in whole-number ratios.

Example

John Dalton
proposed this
in 1803.

Daltons Atomic Theory

In 1808, Dalton proposed a theory to
summarize and explain the laws of
conservation of mass, definite proportions,
& multiple proportions.
I was a school
teacher at the
age of 12!

Daltons Atomic Theory

John Dalton - 1808

1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles

called atoms.
2. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass,
and other properties.**
3. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or
destroyed.**
4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple
whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds.
5. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined,
separated, or rearranged.
**Today, we know these parts to have flaws.

Flaws of Daltons Theory

2. Atoms of a given element are
identical in size, mass, and other
properties. Isotopes atoms with the same
number of protons but a different
number of neutrons

3. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created,

or destroyed.
Subatomic particles electrons,
protons, neutrons, and more

The Atom
Atom - the smallest particle of an element
that retains the chemical properties of that
element.

CARBON

Subatomic Particles
Protons- positively charged particles found in
the nucleus of an atom.
Neutrons- neutral particles found in the nucleus
of an atom.
Electrons- negatively charged particles found in
the electron cloud.

Joseph John Thomson

In 1897 the English physicist Joseph John
Thomson was able to measure the ratio of
charge of the cathode ray particles to their mass.
He found that the ratio was always the same
regardless of the metal used to make the
cathode or the nature of the gas inside the
cathode ray tube.
Thomson concluded that cathode rays were
composed of identical, negatively charged
particles called electrons.

Cathode Ray Tube Experiment

Accomplishments
Proved that the atom was divisible and that
all atoms contain electrons.
This contradicted Daltons Atomic Theory.
This allowed a new model of the atom.

Discovery of the Nucleus

In 1911, Ernest
Rutherford performed a
Gold Foil Experiment.
He and his colleagues
bombarded a thin piece
of gold foil with fast
moving, positively
charged alpha particles.

Alpha Particles
Alpha () particles are Helium-4 nuclei.
This means they are two protons and two
neutrons (with no electrons).
Thus, they are positive.

Gold Foil
Experiment

Gold Foil Experiment

The volume of the
nucleus was very small
compared to the volume
of the atom.
Therefore, most of the
atom was composed of
empty space. Niels Bohr
later found that this empty
space was where the
electrons were located.

Bohrs Model of The Atom

Atomic Number
atomic number (Z) - the number of
protons in the nucleus of each atom of a
given element. (Henry Moseley)
The number of p+ identifies the element.
Atomic Number increases from left to right
on the periodic table.

Electrons

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is

equal to the number of protons in that atom.
e - = p+
Electrons can be lost or gained.
When electrons are lost or gained, ions are
formed.

Metals vs. Nonmetals

Metals form cations.
Na Na+ + 1e Nonmetals form anions.
Cl + 1 eCl-

Mass Number
mass number (A)- the number of p + & no in
the nucleus of an atom.
# of neutrons = mass number atomic number
Why arent
electrons included
when determining
the mass number
of the atom?

Isotopes
isotope- two or more atoms having the same
atomic number (same #p+) , but different
mass numbers (due to different #n o).

Isotope Notation

Changes in the Nucleus

Nuclear Reaction- changes that occur in the
atoms nucleus.
Nuclear reactions can change the
composition of an atoms nucleus
permanently.

Types of Radioactive Decay

The Concept of Energy

Energy the ability (capacity) to do work
Units of Energy: calorie (cal), Joule (J)
Work is done when an object moves some
distance in response to a force (pushing or
pulling).
work = force x distance

Forms of Energy

Mechanical energy
Chemical energy
Solar energy
Radiant or Electromagnetic energy
Electrical energy
Nuclear energy

Where Does Energy Go?

Law of Conservation of Energy energy
cannot be created nor destroyed
Energy is continually transferred from
one thing to another, never
disappearing.

Types of Energy
kinetic energy the energy that objects
have because they are moving
KE energy of motion
potential energy the energy that is
available for doing work at some later
time
PE energy of position

Energy Units
What units are used for energy?
joule = J (SI unit)
calorie = cal (non SI unit)
Calorie = Cal (food calorie =
1000 cal)
1.00 cal = 4.184 J
Example: How many calories of energy is 1067 joules?

Photoelectric Effect
Photoelectric effect- the emission of electrons
from a metal when light shines on the metal.
The photoelectric effect does not occur when
the lights frequency is below a certain amount
regardless of the intensity of the light.

Absorption vs. Emission

Absorption when energy is taken in by
electrons
Emission when energy is given off by
electrons

Energy States of an Electron

Ground State- the lowest
energy state of an atom.
(stable)
Excited state- state in
which an atoms potential
energy is increased from
that of the ground state.
(unstable).

Spectroscopy
Spectroscope used to
separate light into a spectrum
by wavelength so it can be
examined.
Line-Emission Spectrum
produced when an electron
jumps from a higher energy
level to a lower energy level.
Acts as an atomic fingerprint.

How to use a Spectroscope

Discovery of the
Line-Emission Spectrum
Hydrogen atoms were excited by passing
a high-voltage current through hydrogen
gas causing the gas to glow a lavender
color.
When viewed with a spectroscope
(diffraction grating or prism) the lavender
light separated into four narrow lines of
different color.

Hydrogen Line Spectrum

Each of the lines seen in the hydrogen
spectrum is a result of light at a different
wavelength.
Since light of a particular wavelength has
a definite frequency and a definite energy,
the lines of the hydrogen spectrum must
be a result of the emission of photons with
specific energies.

Other Emission Spectrum

helium

carbon

The Bohr Model

Bohr Model of the Atom

The fact that hydrogen atoms only
released photons of specific frequencies
indicated that differences between the
atoms energy levels were fixed.
The puzzle behind the hydrogen-atom
spectra was solved in 1913 by Niels Bohr.

Bohr Model of the Atom

The orbits are separated from
one another by empty space
where the electrons cannot exist.
The energy of the electrons
becomes higher as they get
farther away from the nucleus.
Electrons can move from one
energy level to the next by
gaining or losing a finite amount
of energy.

Chapter 4 Part II
Arrangement of
Electrons in Atoms
The emission of light is fundamentally related to the
behavior of electrons.

Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg stated that it is
impossible to simultaneously determine both the
position and velocity of an electron or any other
particle. This became known as the Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle.
Quantum theory was more widely accepted after
this proposal.

Quantum Model of the Atom

The dots represent 1 electron and the

region in which you are likely to find it
90% of the time.

Energy Levels
Quantum numbers describe the location
of electrons in an atom.

Principal Quantum Number, n

principal quantum number, n indicates
the main energy level occupied by the
electron
n = 17
(notice how many periods are
on the periodic table7 !)
(Does this sound like the Bohr model?)

Energy Sublevels

No more

Bohr model

Every energy level can be broken down into

sublevels.
Each sublevel has an energy that is slightly
different.
Not the traditional step ladder anymore, but
still you cant have energies in between the
rungs of our new ladder.

Orbitals

Periodic Trends
Who told the
elements where to
go?
MENDELEEV!
(Father of the periodic table)

History of the Periodic Table

Early 1800s
J.W. Dobereiner organized
elements into triads.
Triads- groups of three
elements with similar
properties. The middle
element of the triad was
thought to be an approximate
average of the properties of
the first & third element.

History of the Periodic Table

Mid 1800s
J.A.R. Newlands- developed the law of
octaves in 1865.
Law of octaves- stated that if elements
were arranged by increasing atomic
mass, the properties of the eighth
element were similar to properties of
the first, the ninth like those of the
second, the tenth like those of the
third.

History of the Periodic Table

Mid 1800s
In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev published
the first periodic table.
Mendeleev arranged the elements
horizontally by increasing atomic
mass and placed elements in
groups (vertically) based on
similar properties.

History of the Periodic Table

Early 1900s
In 1913, Henry Moseley
developed the Modern
Periodic Table. He
determined the atomic
numbers of many elements
and then used those values to
arrange the periodic table in
rows by increasing atomic
number and in columns by
similar properties.

Metals, Nonmetals, & Metalloids

Ionization Energy
Ionization Energy- the energy required to remove an
electron from an atom.
Nonmetals have higher ionization energies than
metals.
The lower the ionization energy of an atom the easier
it is to remove an electron.

Ionization Energy Trend

General Group Trend (representative elements)Ionization energy increases as you travel up a
group in the periodic table.
Reason: As you travel up a group there are less
principle energy levels, therefore, electrons are
located closer to the nucleus. It is harder to
remove electrons that are closer to the nucleus
to due the nuclear charge attraction.

Electron Affinity- energy change that occurs when an
electron is acquired by a neutral atom.
Nonmetals have a more negative (LOWER) electron
affinity than metals.
Metals typically have a more positive (HIGHER)
electron affinity than nonmetals.
Noble gases have an electron affinity between metals
& nonmetals.

Electronegativity
Electronegativity- measure of the ability of an atom in a
chemical compound to attract electrons.
The higher the electronegativity the greater the
attraction for electrons.
The electronegativity scale was determined by Linus
Pauling.
The electronegativity scale ranges from 0 to 4.
Since some noble gases do not form compounds
they have electronegativity values of 0.
Used to determine the polarity of an bond.

Dipoles within Molecules

There are dipoles created along bonds,
however, a molecule can exhibit overall
polarity.
Here is the
dipole along the
first H-O
bond
Here is the
dipole along the
second H-O
bond

An overall
dipole is
created.

Two individual dipoles along each bond cause the

molecule to have a greater electron cloud towards
the oxygen end leaving the other end of the
molecule more positive. This causes a partial
negative end towards the oxygen and the a partial
positive end towards the hydrogens (you can only
have two ends to a small molecule.

An overall

Polarity of a Molecule
Polarity of a molecule depends upon two
things
the polarity of the bonds
the shape of the molecule

All molecules with only nonpolar bonds are

nonpolar molecules.
Molecules with polar bonds, may or may
not be polar molecules, depending on the
shape.

in carbon dioxide?
Percent composition is determined by mass. You need to know the
total mass of the element for the bottom of your fraction and the mass
of the part of the compound in question for the top of the fraction.

Empirical Formulas
What is the empirical formula for glucose,
C6H12O6?
An empirical formula is just the lowest ratio of the molecular
formula. It is not representative of the real molecule, but it just
shows the ratio of atoms in that molecule.

C6H12O6 has a ratio of 6:12:6 which can be

reduced, so the answer is
empirical formula is CH2O (1:2:1 ratio)

Determining Molecular Formulas

from Empirical Formulas
What is the molecular formula for a compound that
weighs 110.g/mol and has an empirical formula of
C3H3O?
The molecular formula must weigh some multiple of the
empirical formula. First determine the mass of the empirical
formula.

C3H3O weighs 55 g/mol and the real compound

weighs 110. g/mol, or twice that much.
So, the real formula is 2x C3H3O or

C6H6O2
