Assignment: Atomic Theory

1. Write the complete symbol and determine the no. of electrons, protons and neutrons of the following e- p+ n a.) Oxygen - 8 8 b.) Cesium - 55 55 c.) Argon - 18 18 d.) Uranium - 92 92 e.) Copper - 29 29

2. Calculate the atomic mass of sulfur from its natural isotope. f.) Sulfur-36 g.) Sulfur-32 h.) Sulfur-33 i.) Sulfur-34

3. Complete this table. Symbol of Elements | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | # of protons | # of Electrons | # of Neutrons | Sc | 21 | | 21 | 21 | 24 | Zn | 30 | | 30 | 30 | 34 | Br | 35 | | 35 | 35 | 44 | Ba | 56 | | 56 | 56 | 82 |

4. Fill in the gaps in the following table. Symbol | 102Ru3+ | Se | Os | I | Ce | p+ | 44 | 34 | 76 | 53 | 58 | no | 58 | | | | | e- | 41 | | | | | Net charge | positive | | | | |

5. How does Dalton’s atomic theory account for the fact that when 1.000 g of water is decomposed into its elements, 0.111 g of hydrogen and 0.889 g of oxygen are obtained regardless of the source of the water? *Using Dalton's theory, it is said that he atoms of elements combine in constant ratios to form compounds. Regardless of the water source, when the water was decomposed to its elements, there is really a constant ratio between the two elements composing the water. 6. Summarize the evidence used by J.J Thomson to argue that cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles? * After observing that the beam of light in the cathode ray tube is attracted to a positive charge and repelled by a negative charge, it is concluded that the rays consist of a stream of small, electrically negatively charged particles. *The cathode rays were deflected from their straight line path by both electric and magnetic fields. The direction of deflection also shows that they are negatively charged particles. 7. a.) What is the purpose of the X-ray source in the Millikan oil-drop experiment. *

    * The battery applies a voltage to the plates, charging one plate positive and the other plate negative. Alpha particles constantly released by the americium knock electrons off of the atoms in the air, ionizing the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the chamber. The positively-charged oxygen and nitrogen atoms are attracted to the negative plate and the electrons are attracted to the positive plate, generating a small, continuous electric current.…

    Although Joseph John (J.J.) Thomson (1856 - 1940) was mainly a physicist, his discoveries are closely connected to the chemical community. Thomson used Crookes high vacuum cathode ray tube in his discovery of electrons. He found the green beam produced by the cathode ray tube was a completely negatively charged material. Experimenting with different electrically charged plates and magnets in the cathode ray tube and observing the deflection of the rays he had enough evidence to say that particles smaller than atoms existed. By doing this experiment multiple times he compiled enough data to conclude that the mass of one of these particles, which he called an electron, was lighter than an atom of hydrogen by around 2,000 times. He also found the ratio of charge to mass (e/m) would be the same for any electron.…

    Dmitri Mendeleev’s Periodic table is based on atomic weight, whereas, the modern periodic table keeps the atomic number as the base. An atomic table arranges elements from left to right in a row with the atomic number and properties gradually changing. The elements on the next row will actually exhibit similar properties as the ones above or below it. This provides an example of the periodicity nature of the elements. The columns of different elements in a period have the same or very similar properties. The properties of the elements change gradually as the columns move down through the periodic table. Atoms in similar families, such as H2S and H2O, exhibit both similar properties and molecular structure. This shows periodicity in both the molecules and the individual atoms.…

    Thomson’s “Plum Pudding Model” brought along several benefits. J.J Thomson was the first person to suggest the theory of the atom containing positive and negative particles, and demonstrated the latter which he called electrons. He experimented with cathode ray tubes to show how electron beams were deflected by magnetic forces. He also showed the hydrogen atom has one electron. His atomic theory identified that electrons inside an atom could show, meaning that atoms were not invisible.…

    There is a large overlap of the world of static electricity and the everyday world that you experience. Clothes tumble in the dryer and cling together. You walk across the carpeting to exit a room and receive a door knob shock. You pull a wool sweater off at the end of the day and see sparks of electricity. During the dryness of winter, you step out of your car and receive a car door shock as you try to close the door. Sparks of electricity are seen as you pull a wool blanket off the sheets of your bed. You stroke your cat's fur and observe the fur standing up on its end. Bolts of lightning dash across the evening sky during a spring thunderstorm. And most tragic of all, you have a bad hair day. These are all static electricity events - events that can only be explained by an understanding of the physics of electrostatics.…
