Section 4-1
Section 4.1 Early Ideas About Matter

• Compare and contrast the atomic models of
  Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton.

• Understand how Dalton's theory explains the
  conservation of mass.

theory an explanation supported by many
experiments is still subject to new experimental
data, can be modified, and is considered
successful if it can be used to make predictions
that are true

Section 4-1
Section 4.1 Early Ideas About Matter (cont.)
Dalton's atomic theory
The ancient Greeks tried to explain matter, but
the scientific study of the atom began with John
Dalton in the early 1800's.
5
Section 4-1
Greek Philosophers (cont.)

• Many ancient scholars believed matter was
  composed of such things as earth, water, air, and
  fire.

• Many believed matter could be endlessly divided
  into smaller and smaller pieces.

6
Section 4-1
Greek Philosophers (cont.)

• Democritus (460370 B.C.) was the first person to
  propose the idea that matter was not infinitely
  divisible, but made up of individual particles
  called atomos.

• Aristotle (484322 B.C.) disagreed with
  Democritus because he did not believe empty space
  could exist.
• Aristotles views went unchallenged for 2,000
  years until science developed methods to test the
  validity of his ideas.

Section 4-1
Greek Philosophers (cont.)

• John Dalton revived the idea of the atom in the
  early 1800s based on numerous chemical reactions.

• Daltons atomic theory easily explained
  conservation of mass in a reaction as the result
  of the combination, separation, or rearrangement
  of atoms.

Section 4.2 Defining the Atom (cont.)

An atom is made of a nucleus containing protons
and neutrons electrons move around the nucleus.
15
Section 4-2
The Atom

• The smallest particle of an element that retains
  the properties of the element is called an atom.

• An instrument called the scanning tunneling
  microscope (STM) allows individual atoms to be
  seen.

16
Section 4-2
The Electron

• When an electric charge is applied, a ray of
  radiation travels from the cathode to the anode,
  called a cathode ray.

• Cathode rays are a stream of particles carrying a
  negative charge.
• The particles carrying a negative charge are
  known as electrons.

17
Section 4-2
The Electron (cont.)

• This figure shows a typical cathode ray tube.

18
Section 4-2
The Electron (cont.)

• J.J. Thomson measured the effects of both
  magnetic and electric fields on the cathode ray
  to determine the charge-to-mass ratio of a
  charged particle, then compared it to known
  values.

• The mass of the charged particle was much less
  than a hydrogen atom, then the lightest known
  atom.
• Thomson received the Nobel Prize in 1906 for
  identifying the first subatomic particlethe
  electron

19
Section 4-2
The Electron (cont.)

• In the early 1910s, Robert Millikan used the
  oil-drop apparatus shown below to determine the
  charge of an electron.

20
Section 4-2
The Electron (cont.)

• Charges change in discrete amounts1.602 ? 1019
  coulombs, the charge of one electron (now
  equated to a single unit, 1).

• With the electrons charge and charge-to-mass
  ratio known, Millikan calculated the mass of a
  single electron.

21
Section 4-2
The Electron (cont.)

• Matter is neutral.

• J.J. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom
  states that the atom is a uniform, positively
  changed sphere containing electrons.

22
Section 4-2
The Nucleus

• In 1911, Ernest Rutherford studied how positively
  charged alpha particles interacted with solid
  matter.

• By aiming the particles at a thin sheet of gold
  foil, Rutherford expected the paths of the alpha
  particles to be only slightly altered by a
  collision with an electron.

23
Section 4-2
The Nucleus (cont.)

• Although most of the alpha particles went through
  the gold foil, a few of them bounced back, some
  at large angles.

24
Section 4-2
The Nucleus (cont.)

• Rutherford concluded that atoms are mostly empty
  space.

• Almost all of the atom's positive charge and
  almost all of its mass is contained in a dense
  region in the center of the atom called the
  nucleus.
• Electrons are held within the atom by their
  attraction to the positively charged nucleus.

25
Section 4-2
The Nucleus (cont.)

• The repulsive force between the positively
  charged nucleus and positive alpha particles
  caused the deflections.

26
Section 4-2
The Nucleus (cont.)

• Rutherford refined the model to include
  positively charged particles in the nucleus
  called protons.

• James Chadwick received the Nobel Prize in 1935
  for discovering the existence of neutrons,
  neutral particles in the nucleus which accounts
  for the remainder of an atoms mass.

27
Section 4-2
The Nucleus (cont.)

• All atoms are made of three fundamental subatomic
  particles the electron, the proton, and the
  neutron.

• Atoms are spherically shaped.
• Atoms are mostly empty space, and electrons
  travel around the nucleus held by an attraction
  to the positively charged nucleus.

28
Section 4-2
The Nucleus (cont.)

• Scientists have determined that protons and
  neutrons are composed of subatomic particles
  called quarks.

29
Section 4-2

  only an atom's electrons.

35
Section 4-3
Atomic Number

• Each element contains a unique positive charge in
  their nucleus.

• The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
  identifies the element and is known as the
  elements atomic number.

36
Section 4-3
Isotopes and Mass Number

• All atoms of a particular element have the same
  number of protons and electrons but the number of
  neutrons in the nucleus can differ.

• Atoms with the same number of protons but
  different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

37
Section 4-3
Isotopes and Mass Number (cont.)

• The relative abundance of each isotope is usually
  constant.

• Isotopes containing more neutrons have a greater
  mass.
• Isotopes have the same chemical behavior.
• The mass number is the sum of the protons and
  neutrons in the nucleus.

Unstable atoms emit radiation to gain stability.
46
Section 4-4
Radioactivity

• Nuclear reactions can change one element into
  another element.

• In the late 1890s, scientists noticed some
  substances spontaneously emitted radiation, a
  process they called radioactivity.
• The rays and particles emitted are called
  radiation.
• A reaction that involves a change in an atom's
  nucleus is called a nuclear reaction.

47
Section 4-4
Radioactive Decay

• Unstable nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation
  in a spontaneous process called radioactive decay.

• Unstable radioactive elements undergo radioactive
  decay thus forming stable nonradioactive elements.

48
Section 4-4
Radioactive Decay (cont.)

• Alpha radiation is made up of positively charged
  particles called alpha particles.

• Each alpha particle contains two protons and two
  neutrons and has a 2 charge.
