The idea of the atom goes back to Ancient Greece.
We continue by looking at more “recent” ideas of the atom.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1808) All matter is made of atoms
(particles to small to see).
Each element has its own kind of atom. Atoms of the same element have the same mass, atoms of different elements have different masses.
![Page 4: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Compounds are formed when different atoms link to form “compound atoms” (now called molecules). In a compound all “compound atoms” are alike.
Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.

Modern Atomic Theory Even though Dalton’s work was
200 years ago, the basis of it is still valid with only a few modifications.
Dalton thought atoms were solid spheres like billiard balls, but we know atoms are made up of smaller parts
![Page 6: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sub Atomic Particles (smaller than atoms)
Atoms are made up of three main type of particles:
Protons Found in nucleus (center part) of
atom Positive charge (+1) Mass 1 atomic mass unit (a.m.u.)
![Page 7: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Neutrons Found in nucleus of atom Neutral ( 0 charge) Mass 1 a.m.u.
Electrons Found moving outside the nucleus Negative charge (-1) Mass approx 1/1800 a.m.u.
![Page 8: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Atomic Number Number of protons in the atom Each atomic number is unique and
defines each atom E.g. If there are 8 protons, the
element is… oxygen! If the element is oxygen, there must
be 8 protons
![Page 9: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The atomic number is found at the top of each square on the periodic table.
Atomic number
See Periodic Table Here (or text p. 516)
If you have a periodic table you can instantly find the number of protons.
![Page 10: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Number of Electrons In any neutral (uncharged) atom
the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
The number of electrons, therefore, is also equal to the atomic number.
If there are 8 protons, there will be 8 electrons.
![Page 11: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mass Number Total number of all protons and
neutrons in an element always a whole number Note - electrons are too small
to effect total mass An element with 3 protons and 4
neutrons will have a mass number of 7
![Page 12: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mass Number To find mass number from a periodic
table, look under the symbol (or name) Round off to a whole number (decimals
will be explained soon!) See periodic table
Mass number = 12 (rounded off)
![Page 13: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Number of Neutrons Can be determined from the periodic
table. If mass number = protons +
neutrons, then: Neutrons = mass number - protons or Neutrons = mass number - atomic
number

Calculating Protons, Neutrons and Electrons Find number of protons, neutrons
and electrons for each of the following.

Isotopes Isotopes are atoms of the same
element that have different masses.
Why are these masses different?? Since number of protons doesn’t
change, the change in mass must be due to different number of neutrons.16 amu 17 amu
8 protons 8 neutrons 8 protons 9 neutrons
![Page 17: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example Hydrogen exists in 3 different
isotopes Most hydrogen atoms have one
proton, (one electron) and no neutrons
Mass is 1 a.m.u. This is also called Hydrogen-1 or
Protium
![Page 18: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Some Hydrogen atoms have one neutron as well as the one proton and electron.
This is a different isotope - it is still hydrogen, but it has a mass of 2 a.m.u.
This isotope is called Hydrogen-2 Also called Deuterium
![Page 19: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A third form of hydrogen has 2 neutrons with 1 proton and 1 electron.
This gives a mass of 3 a.m.u. This is called Hydrogen-3 Also called Tritium
![Page 20: Structure of the Atom Refer to: Science Probe 10 - Chapter 8.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0121a28abf838ccc3be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Atomic Mass(Decimal Number) The mass reported on the periodic
table is actually a weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of an element.
This is why the periodic table show decimal number.
For most atoms, one isotope is much more common than the other(s).
