Chapter 2Atoms, Molecules, and Ions
History Lesson• Democritus (460-370 BC): indivisible particles called atoms
• Plato and Aristotle challenged this view believing that matter was continuous
• Newton (1642-1727 AD) proposed the idea of invisible particles in the air called atoms
• Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794 AD) conducted experiments demonstrating mass of products = mass of reactants
• John Dalton (1766-1844 AD) proposed a model of matter• Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Assumption: Matter is discontinuous!
1: Matter is composed of atoms. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of that element.
2: An element is composed entirely of one type of atom.
Postulates
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
3: A compound contains atoms of two or more different elements. The relative number of atoms of each element in a compound is always the same.
4: Atoms do not change identity in chemical reactions; only the way in which they are joined together changes.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory (cont’d)
• Law of constant composition: All samples of a pure substance contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.• This observation follows from Dalton’s third
postulate (the relative numbers of atoms are the same in the same compound).
Law of Constant Composition
• Law of multiple proportions: When the same elements form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combines with a fixed mass of a second element are in a ratio of small whole numbers.• This follows from the postulate that
individual atoms enter into chemical combination.
Law if Multiple Proportions
• Law of Conservation of Mass: There is no detectable change in mass when a chemical reaction occurs.• Dalton’s fourth postulate accounts for this
law. The atoms do not change mass or identity when a chemical reaction takes place.
Law of Conservation of Mass
• Experiments over many years showed that atoms are not simple particles, but are composed of the subatomic particles listed below:• Electrons• Protons• Neutrons
Atomic Composition and Structure
• The application of a high voltage across a partially evacuated tube produces cathode rays.
Cathode Rays
• J. J. Thomson demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged by applying magnetic and electric fields to cathode rays.
• Cathode rays are electrons, negatively charged particles that are one of the components of an atom.
Electrons
• Robert A. Millikan performed experiments that determined the charge of the electron as 1.60 x 10-19 coulombs.
Millikan Oil Drop Experiment
Mass of electron• Thompson, using Milikan’s data for the charge
of an electron, determined the mass to charge ratio of an electron.
• This allowed him to calculate the mass of an electron.
• 9.11 x 10-31 kg (mass of electron)
Scattering of Alpha Particles by Gold
• Rutherford concluded that the results of the scattering experiment required that atoms consist of:• a nucleus that is very small
compared to the atom, has a high positive charge and contains most of the mass of the atom.
• the remainder of the space in an atom contains enough electrons to give a neutral atom.
The Nuclear Model of the Atom
Atomic View of Rutherford Experiment
• Rutherford proposed that the hydrogen nucleus was a fundamental particle called the proton, which has a positive charge equal in magnitude to the negative charge of the electron.• Protons account for the charge on the
nucleus of all atoms.• The mass of the proton (1.673 x 10-27
kg) is 1836 times that of the electron.
The Proton
• The number of protons in a nucleus, as determined by its positive charge, accounts for half or less of the nuclear mass.• Scientists inferred there must be a
massive, neutral particle also present in the nucleus.
• This neutral particle is called the neutron; its mass is almost the same as that of the proton.
The Neutron
Particle Charge (C) Mass (kg) Relative charge
Relative mass
Electron -1.602 x 10-19 9.109 x 10-31 1- 0
Proton +1.602 x 10-19 1.673 x 10-27 1+ 1
Neutron 0 1.675 x 10-27 0 1
Particles in the Atom
• Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
• Mass number (A) is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
• The number of protons (the atomic number) determines the identity of the element; all H atoms contain 1 proton, all He atoms contain 2 protons, etc.
Definitions
• Isotopes are atoms of one element whose nuclei contain different numbers of neutrons (same Z, different A).
Isotopes of Hydrogen
Isotopes
What about Dalton’s Postulate #2?
Symbols of Isotopes• A symbol to identify a specific isotope is
where A = mass number, Z = atomic number, and X is the one or two letter symbol of the element.
• The three isotopes of hydrogen are:
XAZ
H H H 31
21
11
Symbols of Isotopes• Oxygen also has three isotopes, containing 8,
9, and 10 neutrons respectively. The symbols are:
• Since the value of Z, and the symbol, both identify the element, Z is often omitted from the symbol:
O O O 188
178
168
O O O 181716
• Write the symbol for the isotopes with:(a) 15 protons and 16 neutrons.(b) 21 protons and 24 neutrons.
Example: Symbols of Atoms
• In many chemical reactions, atoms gain or lose electrons, producing charged particles called ions.• A cation has a positive charge and forms
when an atom loses one or more electrons.• An anion has a negative charge and forms
when an atom gains one or more electrons.
Ions
• The number of protons in the nucleus determines the symbol used for an ion.
• The element’s symbol is followed by a superscript number and a sign that shows the charge on the ion in electron charge units.• If the ionic charge is one unit, the
number is omitted, e.g. Na+ is the symbol for a sodium cation.
Symbols for Ions
• Write the symbol for the ions that contain:(a) 9 protons, 10 neutrons, 10 electrons.(b) 19 protons, 20 neutrons, 18 electrons.
Example: Symbols of Ions
• Write the symbols for the particles containing:(a) 8 protons, 9 neutrons, 10 electrons(b) 13 protons, 14 neutrons, 13 electrons

• A relative mass scale has been established to express the masses of atoms.
• The atomic mass unit (u) is 1/12 the mass of one 12C atom. Experimentally to three significant digits:
1 u = 1.66 x 10-27 kg
The Atomic Mass Unit (u)
• The masses of both the proton and the neutron are approximately 1 u.
• A 24Mg atom has a mass approximately twice that of the 12C atom, so its mass is 24 u.
• A 4He atom has a mass approximately 1/3 that of the 12C atom, so its mass is 4 u.
Masses of Atoms in u
• Factors other than the mass of the protons and neutrons affect the mass of atoms, so the actual mass of atoms are not whole numbers. (24Mg = 23.98504 u; 4He = 4.002603 u)
• When the accurate atomic mass of an atom is rounded to a whole number, it equals the mass number.
Atomic Mass and Mass Number
• About 75% of the elements occur in nature as mixtures of isotopes.
• Usually, the relative abundance of isotopes of an element is the same throughout nature.• In all natural samples of Li, 7.42% of the
atoms are 6Li and the remaining 92.58% are 7Li.
Natural Distribution of Isotopes
• Isotopic mass is the mass in u, of a particular isotope of an element.
• Different isotopes of an element all react essentially the same, so a weighted average of isotopic masses can be used in calculations.
• The atomic mass is the weighted average mass, of the naturally occurring element.atomic mass = fractionA x isotopic massA + fractionB x isotopic massB + . .
Atomic Masses of the Elements
• A mass spectrometer was used to determine that gallium is 60.11% 69Ga (isotopic mass = 68.9256 u) and 39.89% 71Ga (isotopic mass = 70.9247 u). Calculate the atomic mass of Ga.
Example: Calculating Atomic Mass
• Proposed independently by Dimitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer.
• Periodic table: arranges the elements in rows that place elements with similar properties in the same column.• Period: a horizontal row• Group: a column - contains chemically
similar elements

Important Groups of Elements
Elements and Biology
• A molecule is a combination of atoms joined so strongly that they behave as a single particle.
• The simplest molecules are diatomic - they contain two atoms.
Molecules
• If all the atoms in a molecule are the same, the substance is an element.
Elements
• If two or more elements form a molecule, it is a molecular compound.
Molecules
• A molecular formula gives the number of every type of atom in the molecule.• The elements present in the molecule are
identified by their symbols.• A subscript number follows each symbol,
giving the number of atoms of that element present in the molecule; the subscript is omitted if only one atom of the element is present.
• A structural formula shows how the atoms are connected in the molecule.
Molecular Formulas
Molecular Formulas
• The molecular mass is the sum of the atomic masses of all atoms present in the molecular formula, expressed in atomic mass units (u).
• The diagram shows the strategy for calculating molecular mass.

Practice
• An ionic compound is composed of cations and anions joined to form a neutral species.• Ionic compounds generally form from the
combination of metals with nonmetals.
• In ionic compounds each cation is surrounded by several anions and vice versa.
Ionic Compounds
Structure of Sodium Chloride
• The formula of an ionic compound is an empirical formula that uses the smallest whole number subscripts to express the relative numbers of ions.
• The relative numbers of ions in the empirical formula balances the charges to zero.• The formula of sodium chloride is NaCl,
because the 1+ ions have to be present in a 1:1 ratio.
• The formula of sodium oxide is Na2O, because the charge of the Na+ and O2- ions balance to zero in a 2:1 ratio.
Formulas of Ionic Compounds
• The position of an element in the periodic table can be used to determine the charges of some ions.• The metallic elements in Groups 1A, 2A,
3B, and Al (Group 3A) all form cations with a charge equal to the Group number.
• The nonmetals in Groups 6A, 7A, and N in group 5A form anions with a charge of 2-, 1- and 3-, respectively.
