3. Early Discoveries
Lavoisier 1774 Law of conservation of mass
Proust 1799 Law of constant composition
Dalton 1803-1888 Atomic Theory
Slide 3 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

4. Dalton’s Atomic Theory
 Each element is composed of small particles called atoms.
 Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
 All atoms of a given element are identical
 Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element
combine
Slide 4 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

5. Consequences of Dalton’s theory
 Law of Definite Proportions: combinations of elements
are in ratios of small whole numbers.
 In forming carbon monoxide, 1.33 g
of oxygen combines with 1.0 g of
carbon.
 In the formation of hydrogen
peroxide 2.66 g of oxygen combines
with 1.0 g of hydrogen.

8. Properties of cathode rays

9. Charge on the electron
 From 1906-1914 Robert Millikan showed ionized oil drops
can be balanced against the pull of gravity by an electric field.
The charge is an integral multiple of the electronic charge, e.

10. Radioactivity
Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of radiation
from a substance.
 X-rays and γ-rays are high-energy light.
 α-particles are a stream of helium nuclei, He2+.
 β-particles are a stream of high speed electrons
that originate in the nucleus.

11. The nuclear atom
Geiger and Rutherford
1909
Slide 11 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

12. The α-particle experiment
 Most of the mass and all of the
positive charge is concentrated in a
small region called the nucleus .
 There are as many electrons outside
the nucleus as there are units of
positive charge on the nucleus

protons 1919
James Chadwick
neutrons 1932

15. Scale of Atoms
The heaviest atom has a mass of only 4.8 x 10-22 g
and a diameter of only 5 x 10-10 m.
Useful units:
 1 amu (atomic mass unit) = 1.66054 x 10-24 kg
 1 pm (picometer) = 1 x 10-12 m
 1 Å (Angstrom) = 1 x 10-10 m = 100 pm = 1 x 10-8 cm
Biggest atom is 240 amu and is 50 Å across.
Typical C-C bond length 154 pm (1.54 Å)
Molecular models are 1 Å /inch or about 0.4 Å /cm

16. Isotopes, atomic numbers and mass numbers
To represent a particular atom we use the symbolism:
A= mass number Z = atomic number

17. Measuring atomic masses

18. Alkali Metals The Periodic table Noble Gases
Alkaline Earths Main Group
Halogens
Transition Metals
Main Group Lanthanides and Actinides
Slide 18 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

19. The Periodic Table
• Read atomic masses.
• Read the ions formed by main group elements.
• Read the electron configuration.
• Learn trends in physical and chemical properties.
We will discuss these in detail in Chapter 10.
Slide 19 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

20. The Mole
• Physically counting atoms is impossible.
• We must be able to relate measured mass to
numbers of atoms.
– buying nails by the pound.
– using atoms by the gram
Slide 20 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

21. Avogadro’s number
The mole is an amount of substance that
contains the same number of elementary
entities as there are carbon-12 atoms in
exactly 12 g of carbon-12.
NA = 6.02214199 x 1023 mol-1
Slide 21 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

22. Molar Mass
• The molar mass, M, is the mass of one mole
of a substance.
M (g/mol 12C) = A (g/atom 12C) x NA (atoms 12C /mol 12C)
Slide 22 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

23. Example 2-9
Combining Several Factors in a Calculation—Molar Mass, the
Avogadro Constant, Percent Abundance.
Potassium-40 is one of the few naturally occurring radioactive
isotopes of elements of low atomic number. Its percent natural
abundance among K isotopes is 0.012%. How many 40K
atoms do you ingest by drinking one cup of whole milk
containing 371 mg of K?
Want atoms of 40K, need atoms of K,
Want atoms of K, need moles of K,
Want moles of K, need mass and M(K).
Slide 23 of 25 General Chemistry: Prentice-Hall ©

24. Convert strategy to plan
and plan into action
Convert mass of K(mg K) into moles of K (mol K)
mK(mg) x (1g/1000mg)  mK (g) x 1/MK (mol/g)  nK(mol)
nK = (371 mg K) x (10-3 g/mg) x (1 mol K) / (39.10 g K)
= 9.49 x 10-3 mol K
Convert moles of K into atoms of 40K
nK(mol) x NA  atoms K x 0.012%  atoms 40K
atoms 40K = (9.49 x 10-3 mol K) x (6.022 x 1023 atoms K/mol K)
x (1.2 x 10-4 40K/K)
= 6.9 x 1017 40K atoms
