DaltonsAtomic Theory
All matter is composed of atoms
Atoms cannot be made or destroyed All atoms of the same element are identical
Different elements have different types of atoms
Chemical reactions occur when atoms are rearranged
Compounds are formed from atoms of the constituent
elements.

1898 J. J THOMPSON
Discovered atoms could sometimes eject a
far smaller negative particle which he called
an ELECTRON
Introduced Plum-pudding model whereby
the electron (plums) are embedded in a
sphere of uniform positive charge.

1910 Ernest Rutherford
Rutherfords new evidence allowed him topropose a more detailed model with a centralnucleus.
He suggested that the positive chargewas all ina central nucleus. With this holding the electronsin place by electrical attraction

1913 Niels Bohr
Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by
adding that the electrons were in orbits.
Each orbit only able to contain a set
number of electrons.

Internal Structure of Atom
Atoms are made up of three
main particles:
Neutron, electron, and proton.
These main parts are each made
up of smaller particles .- Quarks, lepton

The behaviour of protons, neutrons andelectrons in electric fields
What happens if a beam of each of these particles is passed between two
electrically charged plates - one positive and one negative? Opposites
will attract.
Protons are deflected on a curved path
towards the negative plate.
Electrons are deflected on a curved path
towards the positive plate.
Neutrons continue in a straight line.

Proton Number and Nucleon NumberAn element (atom) is characterized by its:
Proton number (Z)
The number of protons in a nucleus
The atomic number of an element is what distinguishes it from all
other elements
Nucleon number (A)

Isotopes
Isotopes have the same number of proton and electron but different number
of neutron.
Example : Hydrogen has 3 naturally occurring isotopes.

Electron Arrangements Within Atoms
Electrons move rapidly in the space about an atomsnucleus.
The space is divided into subspaces called shells, subshells,
and orbitals.

Electron Shells
Principal quantum number, n = 1,27
As the value of n increases:
- the energy increases
- the average distance of the electron from the
nucleus increases
Number of electrons in shell = 2n2
Shell 1 = 2(1)2= 2 electrons
Shell 2 = 2(2)2= 8
Shell 3 = 2(3)2= 18

Electron Orbital Electron orbitals are regions within the atom whereelectrons have the highest probability of being found.
Each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons.

ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF IONS
Positive ions (cations) are formed by removing electrons from atoms
Negative ions (anions) are formed by adding electrons to atoms
Electrons are removed first from the highest occupied orbitals (EXC.transition metals)
SODIUM Na 1s22s22p63s1 1 electron removed from the3s orbital

CHLORINE Cl 1s22s22p63s2 3p5 1 electron added to the 3porbital

Electron Configuration
Aufbau Principle:
orbitals fill in order of increasing energy from lowest
energy to highest energy
Pauli Exclusion Principle: only two electrons can occupy an orbital and their
spins must be paired
HundsRule:
when orbitals of equal energy are available but thereare not enough electrons to fill all of them, one
electron is added to each orbital before a second
electron is added to any one of them

Ionisation Energy
The amount of energy required to completely remove anelectron from a gaseous atom.
Removing one electron makes a +1 ion.
The energy required is called the first ionization energy.

Factors Affecting Ionization Energy
1) The size of the nuclear charge
-
2) Distance of outer electrons from the nucleus
-
3) Shielding effect of inner electrons
The larger the nuclear charge, the greater the ionization energy.
The greater the distance between the nucleus and the outer
electrons of an atom, the less the ionization energy.
- The greater the shielding effect, the less the ionization energy.
