Atomic TheoryAtomic Theory

• Democritus- 440 B.C.

• He proposed that if you kept cutting something in half you would eventually end up with an “uncutable” particle. Which he called an atom

• Greek: Atomos - indivisible

• Aristotle- 338-322 B.C

• He disagreed with Democritus. He believed you would never end up with an indivisible particle.

• Democritus- 440 B.C.

• He proposed that if you kept cutting something in half you would eventually end up with an “uncutable” particle. Which he called an atom

• Greek: Atomos - indivisible

• Aristotle- 338-322 B.C

• He disagreed with Democritus. He believed you would never end up with an indivisible particle.

Atomic TheoryAtomic Theory

• Dalton- 1808

• In search of understanding why elements combine in specific ratios he discovered through his experiments that this happens because they are made of individual atoms.

• His theory states 3 things1- Atoms are small and cannot be created, divided or destroyed.2- Atoms of the same element are all alike3-Atoms join with other atoms to make new substances

• If you could enlarge a penny until it was as wide as the continental United States(about 3000miles), each of its atoms would be only about 3 cm in diameter- about the size of a ping pong ball.

ProtonsProtons

• Positively charged particles (+).• Found in the nucleus.• All protons are identical• Each proton= 1 amu (atomic mass

unit)• Every atom of an element has the

same number of protons.

• Positively charged particles (+).• Found in the nucleus.• All protons are identical• Each proton= 1 amu (atomic mass

unit)• Every atom of an element has the

same number of protons.

NeutronsNeutrons

• Particles that have no charge• Found in nucleus• All neutrons are identical• Protons & Neutrons are the most

massive particles in the atom but located in a very small area (nucleus)

ElectronsElectrons

• Negatively charged particles (e-)• Located outside of the nucleus in rings

or levels called atomic clouds• Their mass is so small that it is usually

considered zero. • It takes more than 1,800 electrons to equal the

mass of one proton.• However electrons occupy most of an atoms

volume.

Some Things to Remember!

Some Things to Remember!

• In an atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. As a result, the positive charge from protons equals the number of electrons which makes the atom neutral.

• All atoms of an element have the same atomic number.

Atomic NumberAtomic Number

• Atomic # = the number of protons in an atom.

• Atomic # = the number of protons in an atom.

Atomic MassAtomic Mass• Atoms are too small to be

measures in everyday units of mass (grams).

• Scientists use units knows as atomic mass units (amu).• A proton or a neutron has a mass

equal to about 1 amu.

• Atomic Mass is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.

IsotopesIsotopes

• The number of neutrons in an atom can vary.

• Atoms with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons are called isotopes.

• We identify an isotopes by the atoms mass.
