History of the Atom
Not the history of atom, but

the idea of the atom
In 400 B.C the Greeks tried to
understand matter
(chemicals) and broke them
down into earth, wind, fire,
and air.

Democritus and Leucippus
Greek philosophers
Greek Model
To understand the very large,
we must understand the very small.
Democritus
Greek philosopher
Idea of democracy
Idea of atomos
Atomos = indivisible
Atom is derived
No experiments to support Democrituss model of atom
idea
No protons, electrons, or neutrons
Continuous vs. discontinuous
theory of matter Solid and INDESTRUCTABLE
Democritus
DEMOCRITUS (400 BC) First Atomic Hypothesis
Atomos: Greek for uncuttable. Chop up a piece of matter until you reach the atomos.
Properties of atoms:
indestructible.
changeable, however, into different forms.
an infinite number of kinds so there are an infinite number of elements.
hard substances have rough, prickly atoms that stick together.
liquids have round, smooth atoms that slide over one another.
smell is caused by atoms interacting with the nose rough atoms hurt.
sleep is caused by atoms escaping the brain.
death too many escaped or didnt return.
the heart is the center of anger.
the brain is the center of thought.
the liver is the seat of desire.
Nothing exists but atoms and space, all else is opinion.

Four Element Theory
Plato was an atomist FIRE
Thought all matter was

Hot Dry
composed of 4 elements:
Earth (cool, heavy)
AIR MATTER EARTH
Water (wet)
Fire (hot)
Wet
Air (light) Cold
Ether (close to heaven)
WATER
Relation of the four elements and the four qualities
Blend these elements in different proportions to get all substances

Some Early Ideas on Matter
Anaxagoras (Greek, born 500 B.C.)

Suggested every substance had its own kind of seeds that clustered together to
make the substance, much as our atoms cluster to make molecules.
Empedocles (Greek, born in Sicily, 490 B.C.)

Suggested there were only four basic seeds earth, air, fire, and water. The
elementary substances (atoms to us) combined in various ways to make
everything.
Democritus (Thracian, born 470 B.C.)

Actually proposed the word atom (indivisible) because he believed that all matter
consisted of such tiny units with voids between, an idea quite similar to our own
beliefs. It was rejected by Aristotle and thus lost for 2000 years.
Aristotle (Greek, born 384 B.C.)

Added the idea of qualities heat, cold, dryness, moisture as basic elements
which combined as shown in the diagram (previous page).
Hot + dry made fire; hot + wet made air, and so on.
OConnor Davis, MacNab, McClellan, CHEMISTRY Experiments and Principles 1982, page 26,
Early Ideas on Elements
Robert Boyle stated...
A substance was an
element unless it could
be broken down to two
or more simpler
substances.
Air therefore could not

be an element because
it could be broken down
in to many pure
substances.
Robert Boyle
Foundations of Atomic Theory
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass is neither destroyed nor created during ordinary chemical
reactions.
Law of Definite Proportions

The fact that a chemical compound contains the same elements
in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size
of the sample or source of the compound.
Law of Multiple Proportions

If two or more different compounds are composed of the
same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the
second element combined with a certain mass of the first
elements is always a ratio of small whole numbers.

Law of Definite Proportions
Joseph Louis Proust (1754 1826)
Each compound has a specific ratio of

elements
It is a ratio by mass
Water is always 8 grams of oxygen for
every one gram of hydrogen
The Law of Multiple Proportions
Dalton could not use his theory to determine the

elemental compositions of chemical compounds
because he had no reliable scale of atomic masses.
Daltons data led to a general statement known as the
law of multiple proportions.
Law states that when two elements form a series of
compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second
element that are present per gram of the first element
can almost always be expressed as the ratios of
integers.

Daltons Atomic Theory
Dalton stated that
elements consisted of
tiny particles called atoms
He also called the

elements pure
substances because all
atoms of an element
were identical and that in
particular they had the
same mass.
Daltons Atomic Theory
1. All matter consists of tiny particles.
Dalton, like the Greeks, called these particles atoms.
2. Atoms of one element can neither be subdivided nor changed into

atoms of any other element.
3. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
4. All atoms of the same element are identical in mass, size, and
other properties.
5. Atoms of one element differ in mass and other properties from

atoms of other elements.
6. In compounds, atoms of different elements combine in simple, whole

number ratios.

Radioactivity
One of the pieces of evidence for the

fact that atoms are made of smaller
particles came from the work of
Marie Curie (1876 - 1934).
She discovered radioactivity, the

spontaneous disintegration of some
elements into smaller pieces.

Background Information
Cathode Rays
Form when high voltage is applied across
electrodes in a partially evacuated tube.
Originate at the cathode (negative electrode)
and move to the anode (positive electrode)
Carry energy and can do work
Travel in straight lines in the absence of an
external field
Cathode Ray Experiment
1897 Experimentation
Using a cathode ray tube, Thomson was
able to deflect cathode rays with an
electrical field.
The rays bent towards the positive pole,
indicating that they are negatively
charged.

Conclusions
He compared the value with the mass/ charge ratio for the
lightest charged particle.
By comparison, Thomson estimated that the cathode ray
particle weighed 1/1000 as much as hydrogen, the lightest
atom.
He concluded that atoms do contain subatomic particles - atoms
are divisible into smaller particles.
This conclusion contradicted Daltons postulate and was not
widely accepted by fellow physicists and chemists of his day.
Since any electrode material produces an identical ray, cathode
ray particles are present in all types of matter - a universal
negatively charged subatomic particle later named the electron
Conclusiones
He comparado con el valor de la masa / carga ms ligera para

la proporcin de partculas cargadas.
En comparacin, Thomson calcula que las partculas de rayos
catdicos pesaba 1 / 1000 tanto como el hidrgeno, el tomo
ms ligero.
l lleg a la conclusin de que los tomos contienen partculas
subatmicas, tomos de dividirse en partculas ms pequeas.
Esta conclusin es contradicha Dalton postulado y no fue
ampliamente aceptada por sus compaeros fsicos y qumicos
de su poca.
Dado que todo el material del electrodo produce una idntica de
rayos, rayos catdicos partculas estn presentes en todos los
tipos de materia, universal negativamente cargado de partculas
subatmicas ms tarde el nombre de electrn

J.J. Thomson
He proved that atoms of
any element can be
made to emit tiny
negative particles.
From this he concluded
that ALL atoms must
contain these negative
particles.
He knew that atoms did
not have a net negative
charge and so there must
be balancing the negative
charge.
J.J. Thomson
William Thomson
(Lord Kelvin)
In 1910 proposed
the Plum Pudding
model Spherical cloud of
Negative electrons Positive charge
were embedded into
Electrons
a positively charged
spherical cloud.

Thomson Model of the Atom
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron and knew that
electrons could be emitted from matter (1897).
William Thomson proposed that atoms consist of small,
negative electrons embedded in a massive, positive
sphere.
The electrons were like currants in a plum pudding.
This is called the plum pudding model of the atom.

Rutherford Scattering
In 1909 Rutherford undertook a series of experiments

He fired (alpha) particles at a very thin sample of gold foil
According to the Thomson model the particles would only
be slightly deflected
Rutherford discovered that they were deflected through large
angles and could even be reflected straight back to the source

Evidence for Particles
In 1886, Goldstein, using equipment similar to cathode ray tube,
discovered particles with charge equal and opposite to that of
electron, but much larger mass.
Rutherford later (1911) found these particles to be identical to

hydrogen atoms minus one electron
- named these particles protons
Chadwick (1932) discovered particles with similar mass to proton

but zero charge.
- discovered neutrons

Bohr Model
Neils Bohr
Planetary
model
After Rutherfords discovery, Bohr

proposed that electrons travel in definite
orbits around the nucleus.
Bohrs contributions to the understanding of
atomic structure:
1. Electrons can occupy only certain regions of space,
called orbits.
2. Orbits closer to the nucleus are more stable
they are at lower energy levels.
3. Electrons can move from one orbit to another by
absorbing or emitting energy, giving rise to characteristic
spectra.
Bohrs model could not explain

the spectra of atoms heavier
than hydrogen.

Separation of Isotopes 238
Natural uranium, atomic weight = 238.029 g/mol

Density is 19 g/cm3. Melting point 1000oC.
Two main isotopes:

238
92 U 99.3% (238 amu) x (0.993) + (235 amu) x (0.007)
235 236.334 amu + 1.645 amu

92 U 0.7% 237.979 amu
Because isotopes are chemically identical

(same electronic structure), they cannot be
separated by chemistry.
So Physics separates them by diffusion or

centrifuge (mass spectrograph is too slow)

Assume you have only two atoms of chlorine.

One atom has a mass of 35 amu (Cl-35)
The other atom has a mass of 36 amu (Cl-36)
What is the average mass of these two isotopes?

35.5 amu
Looking at the average atomic mass printed on the

periodic table...approximately what percentage is Cl-35
and Cl-36?
55% Cl-35 and 45% Cl-36 is a good approximation
17
Cl
35.453
Using our estimated % abundance data

55% Cl-35 and 45% Cl-36
calculate an average atomic mass for chlorine.
Average Atomic Mass = (% abundance of isotope "A")(mass "A") + (% "B")(mass "B")

AAM = (% abundance of isotope Cl-35)(mass Cl-35) + (% abundance of Cl-36)(mass Cl-36)
AAM = (0.55)(35 amu) + (0.45)(36 amu)
AAM = (19.25 amu) + (16.2 amu)
AAM = 35.45 amu

one with a mass of 60 g. What is the average
mass of the rocks?
Total mass = (4 x 50) + (1 x 60) = 260 g
Average mass = (4 x 50) + (1 x 60) = 260 g

The first ionization energy level has only one sublevel (1s).
The second energy level has two sublevels (2s and 2p).
The third energy level has three sublevels (3s, 3p, and 3d).
Although the diagram suggests that electrons travel in circular orbits,

this is a simplification and is not actually the case.

Quantum Numbers
3. Magnetic Quantum Number ( ml )
Orientation of orbital
Specifies the exact orbital within each sublevel

The magnetic quantum number
Third quantum is ml, the magnetic quantum number
Value of ml describes the orientation of the region
in space occupied by the electrons with respect to
an applied magnetic field
Allowed values of ml depend on the value of l
ml can range from l to l in integral steps
ml = l, -l + l, . . . 0 . . ., l 1, l
Each wave function with an allowed combination of
n, l, and ml values describes an atomic orbital, a
particular spatial distribution for an electron
For a given set of quantum numbers, each
principal shell contains a fixed number of subshells,
and each subshell contains a fixed number of
d-orbitals

Quantum Numbers
4. Spin Quantum Number ( ms )
Electron spin + or -
An orbital can hold 2 electrons that spin in
opposite directions.

Electron Spin: The Fourth Quantum Number
When an electrically charged object spins, it produces a magnetic

moment parallel to the axis of rotation and behaves like a magnet.
A magnetic moment is called electron spin.
An electron has two possible orientations in an external magnetic

field, which are described by a fourth quantum number ms.
For any electron, ms can have only two possible values, designated
+ (up) and (down), indicating that the two orientations are opposite
and the subscript s is for spin.
An electron behaves like a magnet that has one of two possible

orientations, aligned either with the magnetic field or against it.

Quantum Numbers
Pauli Exclusion Principle Wolfgang Pauli
No two electrons in an atom can have the

same 4 quantum numbers.
Each electron has a unique address:
1. Principal # energy level

2. Ang. Mom. # sublevel (s,p,d,f)
3. Magnetic # orbital
4. Spin # electron

Filling Rules for Electron Orbitals
Aufbau Principle: Electrons are added one at a time to the lowest
energy orbitals available until all the electrons of the atom
have been accounted for.
Pauli Exclusion Principle: An orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.

To occupy the same orbital, two electrons must spin in opposite
directions.
Hunds Rule: Electrons occupy equal-energy orbitals so that a maximum

number of unpaired electrons results.
