Introductory assignment – includes Class Policies document, online text
Review class policies
Memory dump: “Atoms”
In-class reading & notes: Atoms – Holt Modern
Chemistry pp. 70-77
Discussion & notes:
Atoms
building blocks of matter
amazingly small – MUCH smaller
than cells
Electrons
discovered in cathode ray tube
experiment
C.R.T. in non-flat screen
TV’s
electron beam deflected by
magnets to paint picture
negative charge, very little mass

Modern Chemistry pp. 70-77
Discussion & notes:
Rutherford model
experiment with gold foil
atoms are mostly empty space
99.9% of mass in very dense
“nucleus”
Table of subatomic particles
3 particles: electron, proton, neutron
location
mass
charge
In neutral atom, # of p’s = # of e’s
# of n’s can vary
