Atomic
Structure
Created in 2008 by Tim F. Rowbotham
Atomic History
• Ancient Greeks thought
there were only 4 elements:
earth, air, fire, & water.
• All matter, they thought,
included one or more of
these elements.
Atomic History
• Democritus (440 BC) was the
first to challenge this idea.
• He thought that matter could
eventually be divided up into
its smallest piece. This piece
he theorized, he called atomos,
which means “indivisible.”
Atomic Theory
• In 1802, John Dalton (a
British school teacher)
proposed an atomic theory,
which included several ideas.
• Dalton’s Atomic Theory VIDEO CLIP
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
• Atoms are tiny, invisible
spheres impossible to break.
• Atoms of different elements
are different and have
specific masses.
• Atoms can combine in exact
ratios to form compounds.
Thompson’s Model
• In the late 1800s, JJ Thompson
discovered that there were
negatively charged particles which he
called electrons. He pictured the
atom as a ball of positive charge with
negatively charged electrons floating
in it.
• VIDEO CLIPS:
• THOMSON , THOMSON feat
Rutherford’s Model
• In 1911, Ernest Rutherford
determined that the center of
the atom had a positive charge.
• This positively charged center
was called the nucleus.
• RUTHERFORD
• Rutherford’s gold foil experiment
•
Rutherford Gold Foil Experiment - Backstage Science
Chadwick’s Discovery
• James Chadwick discovered
that the nucleus also held
particles with no charge,
which he called neutrons.
• The positively charged
particles in the nucleus were
called protons.

The Bohr Model
• Neils Bohr hypothesized
that the atom was like a tiny
solar system, with electrons
circling the nucleus in well
defined orbits like planets
• The speculated paths of the
electrons were called
orbitals, shells, or energy
Modern Atomic Theory
• It was later discovered that
electrons do not have well defined
orbits, but rather move much more
haphazardly.
• In fact, Heisenberg determined that
we can not simultaneously know the
location and velocity of an electron!!!
• Uncertainty principle 1
• Uncertainty Principle 2
• Schrodinger’s Cat – Big Bang Theory
Electron Cloud Model
• However, each electron
has certain regions where
it is more likely to be
found.
• The electron cloud
describes the “blur”
created from the more
frequent movement of
Electron Cloud Model
• The electron cloud is a
spherical cloud around the
nucleus that shows were an
electron is most likely to be.
• It is the most accurate
model of an atom, but not
the most useful.
Electron Cloud Model
The denser
areas are
where the
electrons are
MOST likely to

•PAGE 3
Subatomic Particles
• An atom consists of a
positive core called a
nucleus, which contains
positive protons and neutral
neutrons.
• This nucleus is surrounded
by a cloud of negatively
charged electrons.
The Charge of Atoms
• Alone, atoms are electrically
neutral.
• This means that they have no
OVERALL electric charge.
• The positive charge of an
atom is exactly equal to its
negative charge.
The Negative of Atoms
• The extremely rapid
movement of electrons
forms the cloud of negative
charge outside an atom’s
nucleus.
• Each electron has a charge
of -1.
The Positive of Atoms
• The nucleus of an atom holds
a positive charge due to the
presence of protons.
• Each proton has a charge
exactly opposite to that of
an electron equaling +1.
The Nucleus of an Atom
• The nucleus of an atom
contains the bulk of the
mass of the atom.
• In it are positively charged
protons and neutrons, which
have NO charge.
Atomic Mass Unit
• Because atoms are so small,
we use a special unit of
measurement called an
atomic mass unit.
• An atomic mass unit is really
-27
equal to about 1.66 x 10
kg.
Masses of Subatomic Particles
• A Proton’s mass = 1 a.m.u.
• A Neutron’s mass = 1 a.m.u.
• A Electron’s mass = 0 a.m.u.*
*An electron has a mass of 1/1836th
of a proton (which is relatively
insignificant)
Charges of Subatomic Particles
• A Proton’s charge = +1
• A Neutron’s charge =
0
• A Electron’s charge = 1

number of protons in an
atom.
• It is a unique property that
identifies the element.
• (If it has a different
number of protons it is a
Atomic Number
• For example, an atom with 6
protons would be carbon.
• But if a proton could be
knocked free, then it would
become boron, because
boron has 5 protons!!!

Mass Number
• Since electrons have virtually
no mass (1/1836th of a proton),
the mass of an atom is
determined by adding only the
number of protons & neutrons
and is called its mass number.

• Mass Number is also referred to
as Atomic Mass or Atomic

Notes - Isotopes
• Turn to page 5 of your Atomic
Structure Packet
• Sheldon’s Neutron JOKE
Isotopes
• All atoms of a certain element
will have EXACTLY the same
amount of protons, however,
some atoms of the same
element may have DIFFERING
numbers of neutrons.
• These are called isotopes of
that element.
Isotopes
• Isotopes have the SAME
number of protons, but a
DIFFERENT number of
neutrons.
• Since isotopes have
DIFFERENT amounts of
neutrons, they will have
DIFFERENT mass numbers!!!
Isotopes
• Isotopes are referred to as
the element followed by the
mass number.
• Carbon-12 has a mass of 12.
Carbon-13 has a mass of 13.
Carbon-14 has a mass of 14.
Average Mass Number
• SPECIAL NOTE:
The mass numbers listed on the
periodic table are AVERAGE
MASS NUMBERS of those
elements, because each element
may a have a number of
different isotopes!!!

Atomic Structure Notes
• Turn to page 7 of your Atomic
Structure Packet
The Electron Cloud
• Even though electrons move
haphazardly outside the
nucleus, there are certain
regions where an electron is
more likely to be.
• We call these regions energy
levels. (They are also referred
to as orbitals or shells).
Energy Levels
• Electrons have more energy as
they get further away from the
nucleus.
• The higher the energy, the
further away from the nucleus.
• (The first energy level is
closest to the nucleus)
Energy Levels
• Electrons will usually be
found in the lowest energy
level possible.
• Each energy level has a
maximum number of
electrons it will contain at a
time.

Electrons in Energy Levels
• Electrons will first be located
in the lowest energy levels
• When lower energy levels are
full, additional electrons will be
in the next lowest energy level
**It does get more complicated
than just filling the lowest
levels first.**
Lots of Energy Levels!?!
• In energy levels that can contain
more than 8 electrons...
• Once the lowest energy level
contains 8 electrons, the next 2
electrons will be found in the
next highest energy level,
before filling that lower level
Energy Level Smarts!!!
• YOU MAY EAT THE
SMARTIES AT THE END OF
CLASS!!!!
• UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE,
THEY ARE ELECTRONS

Bohr Models
• Because these different energy
levels exist, a Bohr model or
(electron shell diagram) is a
good visual of the location of
electrons.
• Remember this is NOT what an
atom really looks like, but is
much more organized than
reality.
Drawing Bohr Models
• It is a simple drawing of a number
of concentric circles.
• The innermost circle contains
information about the nucleus
(The number of protons &
neutrons)
• The next circle out would be the
1st energy level, the next circle
out the 2nd energy level, then the
3rd, and so on.
