Atomic Structure

-LESSON 2-

CHEM 101 (INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY)


OBJECTIVES:
• Identify and differentiate the subatomic particles and describe the structure
of atoms

• Describe periodic table according to its arrangement with respect to atomic


numbers and similarities in chemical properties

• Define isotopes and relate its uses to medicine


• Identify different types of orbital
• Write electronic configurations of elements and its relevance to the chemical
activity of an atom

• Identify some periodic properties of elements.


TOPICS:
a. Subatomic particles and the nuclear model of the atom

b. Elements and the periodic table

c. Organization of the periodic table

d. Isotopes

e. Atomic orbitals

f. Electron Configurations

g. Periodic Trends
The modern version of atomic theory was laid by John Dalton in the nineteenth century, who
postulated that elements are composed of extremely small particles, called atoms.

A series of investigations that began in the 1850s and extended into the twentieth
century that led to discovery of subatomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons).

Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all matter and are
composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Atomic number states the number of protons present in an atom whereas, the mass
number indicates the total number of protons and the number of neutrons present in an atom.

SAMPLE EXERCISE 1: Determining the Number SAMPLE EXERCISE 2: Writing Symbols for
of Subatomic Particles in Atoms Atoms

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in an Magnesium has three isotopes with mass numbers 24,
atom of 197 Au? 25, and 26. Write the complete chemical symbol
(superscript and subscript) for each.
• The superscript 197 is the mass number (protons +
• Magnesium has atomic number 12, so all atoms of
neutrons).
magnesium contain 12 protons and 12 electrons.
• Gold has atomic number 79.
ANSWER: An atom of 197 Au has 79 protons, 79 ANSWER: The three isotopes are therefore represented
electrons, and 197 – 79 = 118 neutrons. by

Most elements have two or more isotopes, atoms that have the same atomic
number but different mass numbers.

The development of the periodic table, a chart in which elements having similar
chemical and physical properties are grouped together.

The periodic table is a handy tool that correlates the properties of the elements
in a systematic way and helps us to make predictions about chemical behavior.

SAMPLE EXERCISE 4: Using Periodic Table ANSWER:

Which two of these elements would you Elements in the same group of the periodic table are
expect to show the greatest similarity in most likely to exhibit similar properties. We therefore
chemical and physical properties: B, Ca, F, expect Ca and Mg to be most alike because they are
He, Mg, P? in the same group (2A, the alkaline earth metals).

Atomic orbitals are the quantum states of electrons in the electron cloud
around a single atom. Orbitals are designated by citing the sub-levels.

The electron configuration of an atom is the representation of the arrangement
of electrons distributed among the orbital shells and subshells.

© 2016 Cengage Learning


Aufbau principle states that an electron occupies orbitals in order
from lowest energy to highest.

© 2016 Cengage Learning


Hund’s rule states that the most stable arrangement of electrons in
subshells is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that, in an atom or molecule, no two
electrons can have the same four electronic quantum numbers.

Isoelectronicity and Noble Gas Configuration

Isoelectronicity is the phenomenon


of two or more chemical species
differing in the atoms of which they
are formed but having the same
number of valence electrons and the
same structure. The species
concerned are termed isoelectronic
The arrangement of the periodic table reveals trends
in the properties of the elements.
