Daltons Atomic Theory (1808)

1. Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms.

2. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass and chemical properties. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements.
3. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element. In any compound, the ratio of the numbers of atoms of any two of the elements present is either an integer or a simple fraction. 4. A chemical reaction involves only the separation, combination, or rearrangement of atoms; it does not result in their creation or destruction.

1. atoms positive charge is concentrated in the nucleus 2. proton (p) has opposite (+) charge of electron (-) 3. mass of p is 1840 x mass of e- (1.67 x 10-24 g) 9

Rutherfords Model of the Atom

atomic radius ~ 100 pm = 1 x 10-10 m

nuclear radius ~ 5 x 10-3 pm = 5 x 10-15 m

If the atom is the Houston Astrodome, then the nucleus is a marble on the 50-yard line. 10

Atomic number, Mass number and Isotopes

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons in nucleus Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons = atomic number (Z) + number of neutrons Isotopes are atoms of the same element (X) with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei

ionic compounds consist of a combination of cations and an anions

The formula is usually the same as the empirical formula The sum of the charges on the cation(s) and anion(s) in each formula unit must equal zero

An acid can be defined as a substance that yields hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.

For example: HCl gas and HCl in water

Pure substance, hydrogen chloride

Dissolved in water (H3O+ and Cl), hydrochloric acid

Naming Oxoacids and Oxoanions

37

The rules for naming oxoanions, anions of oxoacids, are as follows: 1. When all the H ions are removed from the -ic acid, the anions name ends with -ate. 2. When all the H ions are removed from the -ous acid, the anions name ends with -ite. 3. The names of anions in which one or more but not all the hydrogen ions have been removed must indicate the number of H ions present. For example: H2PO4- dihydrogen phosphate HPO4 2- hydrogen phosphate PO43- phosphate 38
