Atomic structure
How are atoms studied?
Atoms are the building blocks of matter
Atoms are too small in size to study
easily
Size of Earth : soda can = soda can :
atom
What is the Structureof an atom?
 Nucleus – center of the atom
Home of Protons and Neutrons
Proton
Has a positive (+) charge
Has a relative mass of 1
Determines the atomic number
Found inside the nucleus
What Is The Structure Of An
Atom?
Neutron
Has no (0) charge
Has a relative mass of 1
Determines the isotope
Isotopes are two of the same
element with different masses
Found inside the nucleus
What Is The Structure Of An
Atom?
 Electron
Has a negative (-) charge
Has a relative mass of 0 (zero)
Determines the ion
Found outside the nucleus
Bohr model – electrons are in specific
energy levels
Electron cloud model – electrons are in a
random cloud
Atomic Structure
 Neutral atoms have the same number of
protons and electrons.
 Ions are charged atoms.
cations – have more protons than electrons and
are positively charged
anions – have more electrons than protons and
are negatively charged

How are P, N, e- related?
 No. of protons = atomic number
 No. of electrons = No. of protons in a neutral atom
 No. of protons + No. of neutrons = atomic mass

HISTORY OF THE ATOM
460 BC Democritus develops the idea of atoms
He Pounded Up Materials In His Pestle And
Mortar Until He Had Reduced Them To
Smaller And Smaller Particles Which He Called
ATOMA
(greek for indivisible)
HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1808
John Dalton
suggested that all matter was made up of
tiny spheres that were able to bounce
around with perfect elasticity and called
them
ATOMS
8 X2Y16 X 8 Y+
DALTONS ATOMIC THEORY
HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1898 Joseph John Thompson
found that atoms could sometimes eject a
far smaller negative particle which he
called an
ELECTRON
Plum Pudding model of an atom.
Results of foil experiment if Plum Pudding
model had been correct.
Actual Results.
J.J. Thomson, measured mass/charge of e-
(1906 Nobel Prize in Physics)
A = alpha
B = gamma
C = beta
HISTORY OF THE ATOM
Thompson develops the idea that an atom was made up of
electrons scattered unevenly within an elastic sphere surrounded
by a soup of positive charge to balance the electron's charge
1904
like plums surrounded by pudding.

HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1910 Ernest Rutherford
oversaw Geiger and Marsden carrying out his
famous experiment.
they fired Helium nuclei at a piece of gold foil
which was only a few atoms thick.
they found that although most of them passed
through. About 1 in 10,000 hit
HISTORY OF THE ATOM

nuclei
They found that while most of the helium nuclei
passed through the foil, a small number were
deflected and, to their surprise, some helium
nuclei bounced straight back.

HISTORY OF THE ATOM
Rutherford’s new evidence allowed him to propose a more
detailed model with a central nucleus.
He suggested that the positive charge was all in a central
nucleus. With this holding the electrons in place by electrical
attraction
However, this was not the end of the story.
Rutherford’s experiment.
HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1913
Niels Bohr
studied under Rutherford at the Victoria
University in Manchester.
Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by adding
that the electrons were in orbits. Rather
like planets orbiting the sun. With each
orbit only able to contain a set number of
electrons.
The Bohr Model of the Atom
The Bohr’s
Model
I’m an electron!
I’m a proton!
I’m a neutron!
I was walking along and I saw these two.
I was telling jokes to the neutron.
The proton and I were having fun.
They looked so happy there together.
I was p o s i t i v e l y charged!
I couldn’t have amassed more happiness.
The proton looked happy, so I wandered closer.
I could see the electron coming near.
The who? Huh?
They were HUGE next to me!
The electron was so cute!
Like a speck of dust, or something…
I didn’t want to seem obvious, so I kept walking.
Around and around the electron goes.
Hey electron, you’re making the proton dizzy.
The proton seems so happy with the neutron.
I’m having fun, but I still notice the electron.
It won’t bother me if the electron hangs around.
I guess I’ll just wander around out here.
I’m happy hanging out here.
The center is cool, but sometimes it can be a “Bohr”.
Electrons circle around the nucleus of an atom.
Protons are a main part of the nucleus of an atom.
Neutrons also hang out in the nucleus of an atom.
Electrons have a negative charge. 
Protons have a positive charge. +
Neutrons have no charge. 0
Electrons are little and have a mass of almost zero.
Protons are big and have a mass of one.
Neutrons are also big and have a mass of one.

SUMMARY
1. The Atomic Number of an atom = number of
protons in the nucleus.
2. The Atomic Mass of an atom = number of
Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus.
3. The number of Protons = Number of Electrons.
4. Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells.
5. Each shell can only carry a set number of electrons.
