s Atomic Theory (1808)
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed Atoms of different elements combine in simple
whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds
In chemical reactions, atoms are combined,
separated, or rearranged
All matter is composed of extremely
small particles called atoms
Atoms of a given element are
identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different
elements differ in size, mass, and other properties
Modern Atomic Theory:
Dalton said:
Modern theory states:
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these
changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions!
Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different
elements differ in size, mass, and other properties
Dalton said:
Atoms of an element have a characteristic average mass which is unique to that element.
Modern theory states:

of the atom because now we know there
is something inside it – negatively
charged electrons
But, the overall charge of the atom is
neutral, so
what else
must be in it?
Thomson
’
s Atomic Model
Thomson believed that the electrons were like plums
embedded in a positively charged “pudding,” thus it was called the “plum pudding” model.
Mass and Charge of the Electron
1909 – Robert Millikan determines the mass of the electron using
Thomson’s work
(charge-to-mass ratio).

Mass is 9.109 x 10 -31 kg
Charge is

s Gold Foil Experiment
Alpha particles are helium nuclei
Used polonium to produce alpha particles.
Particles were fired at a thin sheet of gold foil Used gold foil because atoms could be made thin. Particle hits on the detecting screen (film) are

The nucleus is small The nucleus is dense
The nucleus is positively charged Most of the particles passed right through
A few particles were deflected VERY FEW were greatly deflected

Isotopes are atoms of the same element having
different masses (due to varying numbers of neutrons).

Calculate Average Atomic Mass
As you know, chlorine contains two naturally
occurring isotopes. From the following data,
calculate chlorine’s average atomic mass.
75.4% chlorine – 35
24.6% chlorine – 37

with great accuracy
using a mass

Mass Spectrum Example
• Intensity of the peaks
gives us relative %
abundance.
• Which Cl isotope is
more abundant?
• Cl-35 b/c larger
intensity
Which of the following elements has the
mass spectrum shown below?
The mass spectrum of an average sample of a
pure element is shown below. Which of the
following is the identity of the element?
Atomic number (Z) - The number of p+ in an atom. All atoms of the same element have the same number of p+.
Mass number (A) -The sum of the number of neutrons and p+ for an atom. A different mass number does not
mean a different element--just an isotope.
