ATOMIC THEORY
Atomic Structure
Atomic Structure
Atoms are very small ~ 10-10 meters
All atoms are made up of three sub-atomic
particles: protons, neutrons and electrons
The
protons and neutrons form a small
positively charged nucleus
The electrons are in energy levels outside the
nucleus
Atomic Structure
The actual values of the masses and charges of the
sub-atomic particles are shown below:
A meaningful
way to consider the masses of the subatomic particles is to use relative masses
Atomic Structure -
Definitions
Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons
in the nucleus of an atom. The number of
protons equals the number of electrons in a
neutral atom
 N.B. No. of protons always equals the no. of
electrons in any neutral atom of an element.
Mass number (A) is the sum of the number of
protons and the number of neutrons in the
nucleus of an atom.
So
how can you work out the number of neutrons in an atom?
No. of neutrons = Mass number – atomic number

Summary Slide
All atomic masses are relative to the
mass of carbon-12.
Eg one hydrogen atom weighs 1/12 the
mass of a carbon-12 atom.
Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the
same atomic number, but different mass numbers,
i.e. they have different numbers of neutrons.
Each atom of chlorine
contains the following:
35 Cl
17
17 protons
17 electrons
18 neutrons
37 Cl

17 protons
17 electrons
20 neutrons
The isotopes of chlorine are often referred to as
chlorine-35 and chlorine-37
Isotopes
Isotopes of an element have the same chemical
properties because they have the same number of
electrons. When a chemical reaction takes place, it
is the electrons that are involved in the reactions.
However isotopes of an element have the slightly
different physical properties because they have
different numbers of neutrons, hence different
masses.
The isotopes of an element with fewer neutrons
will have:

neutrons in:

Mass Spectrometer
The mass spectrometer is an instrument used:
 To measure the relative masses of isotopes
 To find the relative abundance of the isotopes in a
sample of an element
When charged particles
pass through a magnetic
field, the particles are
deflected by the magnetic
field, and the amount of
deflection depends upon
the mass/charge ratio of
the charged particle.
Mass Spectrometer –
5 Stages
Once the sample of an element has been
placed in the mass spectrometer, it undergoes
five stages.
Vaporisation – the sample has to be in
gaseous form. If the sample is a solid or
liquid, a heater is used to vaporise some of
the sample.
X (s)  X (g)
or X (l)  X (g)
Mass Spectrometer –
5 Stages
Ionization – sample is bombarded by a
stream of high-energy electrons from
an electron gun, which ‘knock’ an
electron from an atom. This produces a
positive ion:
X (g)  X + (g) + e-
– an electric field is used to accelerate
the positive ions towards the magnetic field. The
accelerated ions are focused and passed through a
slit: this produces a narrow beam of ions.
Acceleration
Mass Spectrometer –
5 Stages
Deflection –
The accelerated ions are deflected into
the magnetic field. The amount of
deflection is greater when:
• the mass of the positive ion is less
• the charge on the positive ion is greater
• the velocity of the positive ion is less
• the strength of the magnetic field is
greater
Mass Spectrometer
If all the ions are travelling at the same
velocity and carry the same charge, the
amount of deflection in a given magnetic field
depends upon the mass of the ion.
For a given magnetic field, only ions with a
particular relative mass (m) to charge (z)
ration – the m/z value – are deflected
sufficiently to reach the detector.
Mass Spectrometer
Detection – ions that reach the detector
cause electrons to be released in an ioncurrent detector
The number of electrons released, hence the
current produced is proportional to the
number of ions striking the detector.
The detector is linked to an amplifier and
then to a recorder: this converts the current
into a peak which is shown in the mass
spectrum.

Energy Levels
Electrons go in shells or energy levels.
The energy levels are called principle
energy levels, 1 to 4.
The energy levels contain sub-levels.

Energy Levels
The energy of the sub-levels increases
from s to p to d to f. The electrons fill
up the lower energy sub-levels first.
Looking at this table can you
work out in what order the
electrons fill the sub-levels?
Energy Levels
Let’s take a look at the Periodic Table to
see how this fits in.
Electronic Structure
So how do you write it?

For magnesium:
1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2
Number of
electrons
Electronic Structure
The electronic structure follows a pattern – the order
of filling the sub-levels is 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p…
After this there is a break in the pattern, as that the
4s fills before 3d.
Taking a look at the table below can you work out
why this is?
• This is because the 4s
sub-level is of
lower energy than the
3d sub-level.
Electronic Structure
The order in this the energy levels are
filled is called the Aufbau Principle.
Example
(Sodium – 2, 8, 1)
Electronic Structure
There are two exceptions to the Aufbau
principle.
The electronic structures of chromium and
copper do not follow the pattern – they are
anomalous.
Chromium – 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d5, 4s1
Copper – 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2. 3p6, 3d10, 4s1

a) hydrogen c) oxygen
e) copper
b) carbon

Ionization Energy
Ionization of an atom involves the loss of an electron
to form a positive ion.
The first ionization energy is defined as the
energy required to remove one mole of electrons
from one mole of atoms of a gaseous element.
The first ionization energy of an atom can be
represented by the following general equation:
X(g)  X+ + e- ΔH > 0
Since all ionizations requires energy, they are
endothermic processes and have a positive enthalpy
change (ΔH) value.
Ionization Energy
The value of the first ionization energy
depends upon two main factors:
The size of the nuclear charge
The energy of the electron that has
been removed (this depends upon its distance from the nucleus)
Ionization Energy
As the size of the nuclear charge increases the force
of the attraction between the negatively charged
electrons and the positively charged nucleus
increases.

Trends across a Period
Going across a period, the size of the 1st
ionisation energy shows a general increase.
This is because the electron comes from the
same energy level, but the size of the nuclear
charge increases.

The first ionisation of Al is less than that of Mg,
despite the increase in the nuclear charge.
The reason for this is that the outer electron removed
from Al is in a higher sub-level: the electron removed
from Al is a 3p electron, whereas that removed from
Mg is a 3s.

The first ionisation energy of S is less than that of P,
despite the increase in the nuclear charge.
In both cases the electron removed is from the 3p sublevel. However the 3p electron removed from S is a
paired electron, whereas the 3p electron removed from P
is an unpaired electron.
When the electrons are paired the extra mutual
repulsion results in less energy being required to
remove an electron, hence a reduction in the ionisation
energy.

Down the Group
Ionization energy decreases going
down a Group.
Going down a Group in the Periodic
Table, the electron removed during
the first ionization is from a higher
energy level and hence it is further
from the nucleus.
The nuclear charge also increases,
but the effect of the increased
nuclear charge is reduced by the
inner electrons which shield the outer
electrons.
