DALTON’S THEORY
- tiny particles of matter
- chemical reactions is the rearrangement of atoms
- similar to each other for each element and different from atoms of other elements
subatomic particles
-inside of an atom
PROTONS
has positive charge (+)
-like charges it repel, want to be apart from each other
always the atomic #
Ex: Na has 11 atomic #
Al has 13
S has 16
ELECTRONS
has negative charge (-)
-like charges it repels, wants to be apart from each other
atomic # - charge
ex: Na–> 11 - 0= 11
Al–> 13 - (+3)= 10
S–> 16-(-2)= 18
NEUTRONS
have no charge
- unlike charges attracts each other
Mass # - atomic #
ex: Na –> 23-11= 12
Al –> 27-13= 14
S–> 33-16=17
RUTHERFORD’S GOLD-FOIL EXPERIMENT
he came up with some positively charge particles have small and dense nucleus in the atom that deflects positive particles that comes close
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION
distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals
s- 1 orbital that holds up to 2 electrons
p- 3 orbitals holds up to 3 electrons
d- 5 orbitals holds up to 10 electrons
f- 7 orbital holds up to 14electrons
VALENCE ELECTRONS
are electrons that form chemical bonds with other elements
ex: Ca has 2electrons because Ca is in G2
One atomic mass unit (amu)
mass exactly equal to one-twelfth the mass of one carbon-12 atom that has six protons and six neutrons
average atomic mass
weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element; the mass of the atom in atomic mass units
Average Atomic Mass = ∑ (fractional abundance of isotope n) × (mass of isotope n)
Isotopes
atoms with identical atomic numbers but different mass numbers (that is,
same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons)
Average atomic mass of carbon = (0.09890)(12.00000 amu) + (0.0110)(13.00335 amu)
= 12.0107 amu
ATOMIC WEIGHT
weighted average of the masses of all the naturally occurring isotopes of an element
Calculation: Boron- 10 Boron-11
19.19% / 100= 0.1919 80.09%/100=0.8009
(10) (0.1919) + (11)(0.8009)=10.81
MASS NUMBER
mass number = A = no. of protons + no. of electrons
ex: GA–> A= 31 + 40 =71
