Atomic Theory History (How did we get here?)
Need to know: 5 historical models (Who made them, their order, descriptions in words and pictures) and types of radiation
Two Greek ideas: Democritus(Ultimate particle = “atom”) and Aristotle (Continuous matter)
John Dalton: First atomic theory, Five parts (page 56)
1. Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms.
2. All atoms of a given element are identical.
3. The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element.
4. Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compound. A given compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms.
5. Atoms are indivisible. That is, atoms are not created or destroyed. In chemical reactions, atoms are combine, separated or rearranged. (my #5 different from book)
MODEL = cue ball
Explained Law of Conservation of Matter and Definite Composition.
atom - smallest particles of an element that retain the chemical identity of the element
J.J. Thomson: Using cathode ray tube (Text page 60), discovers and names “electron” = Small negative particle in all atoms)
Plum pudding model (page 61)
Ernest Rutherford’s 3 types of radiation:
name, symbol, charge, mass
alpha, a, positive, same as helium
beta, b, negative, very small
gamma, g, no charge, no mass (energy wave)
Ernest Rutherford’s Gold foil experiment (page 62)
Rutherford's explanation:
1. Most of mass and all of charge in small dense region - nucleus
2. Most of total volume = empty space.
3. There must be enough electrons to equal charge of nucleus.
J.J. Thomson: Mass spectrometer(Charge/mass ratio): Discovers isotopes
isotopes = atoms of the same element with different masses
Henry Moseley - atomic # (x-ray diffraction)
Niels Bohr - Quantum Theory of atoms (planets around sun, quantized energy)
quantum - a package of mass or energy
1919 Rutherford – isolates protons (Predicts neutrons)
1932 James Chadwick – isolates neutrons (Why did it take so long?)
Homework: Read Sections 3.3A (The importance of “read behind”), Flashcards anyone?
Rutherford lab: No prelab
Essential Question: What is the modern model of the atom?
atom - smallest particle that retains all the characteristics of an element
Size of atoms requires new units:
atomic mass unit (amu) - 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom = 1.66 x 10-24 g
angstrom (capital A with a little circle on top ) = 10-10m
Subatomic particles of the Current model (Quantum Mechanical model)

Particle-wave duality
But even smaller sub-subatomic particles.
"The Generations of Matter" website: http://particleadventure.org/frameless/generations.html
Note: heavier across row. (last quark found = top (heaviest) in 1995 at Fermilab
If protons and neutrons are made of 3 quarks (up/down) determine the collection of quarks for each particle.
All particle also have anti-matter opposites. EX: positron (positron emission tomography)
annihilation: matter and antimatter collide - matter destroyed, energy released.
Homework: Are you making vocabulary flashcards?
Extra-credit (5 test points) due one week from date of assignment.
Other particles carry or mediate the four forces. Find out the names of the force particles. Write one paragraph for each force and discuss these "messenger" particles.
Essential Question: How many subatomic particles in a specific atom?
Recall atom: smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of the element
But even elements have different types of atoms.
Recall isotopes: atoms of the same element with different masses.
atomic number = # protons = # e- (Find on periodic table)
atomic mass number = # protons + # neutrons
isotope: Atoms of the same element with different masses.
Same atomic number, different atomic mass number
Same number of protons, different number of neutrons
Know all three ways of naming an isotope.
Example and Practice 3.2 on page 66. (Answers in green section in back of book.)
Homework: Read Section 3.3C. Page 67, #3, 4, 5, 7
Essential Question: What is the other number on the periodic table?
atomic mass: mass of an isotope reported in amu's
atomic weight: average atomic mass - the weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element
Homework: Average atomic mass problems on unit assignment sheet.
Essential Question: What is half-life?
Classwork and Homework: “Half-life of an Element”
Essential Question: How do you write nuclear equations?
Page 668. Recall nuclear symbols (center of page)
nuclide: a unique atom (an isotope)
Page 669: “In a nuclear equation both the atomic number and the mass number must be conserved.”
See examples on page 669 and 670.
See example 19.2 on page 674. Students do practice problems.
Homework: Review assignment for unit.
Essential Question: What evidence do we have for subatomic particles?
Classwork and Homework: “Particle Contrails” lab

Test Sept 15 (Tuesday)
