People were trying to answer this question for well over two millennia, since the time of the atomic hypothesis of Democritus, 440 B.C.*Roman poet Lucretius (95-55 B.C.) wrote in De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things): “What seems to us the hardened and condensedMust be of atoms among themselves more hooked,Be held compacted deep within, as it wereBy branch-like atoms- of which sort the chiefAre diamond stones, despisers of all blows,And stalwart flint and strength of solid iron…”John Dalton (1766-1844) found the evidence of those "hooks“ in his quantitative chemical measurements, making the foundation of modern atomic theory of matter. * the idea that everything is made of distinct atoms has been a subject of skeptical discussions as recently as the beginning ofthe twentieth century, before Einstein’s observation of Brownian motion in 1905 and Max von Laue’s observation of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals in 1912 provided strong support for the atomistic theory.3MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingAtoms = nucleus (protons and neutrons) + electronsStructure of atoms: Brief reviewCharges:Electrons and protons have negative and positive charges of the same magnitude, 1.6 × 10-19Coulombs.Neutrons are electrically neutral.Masses:Protons and Neutrons have the same mass, 1.67 × 10-27kg.Mass of an electron is much smaller, 9.11 × 10-31kg and can be neglected in calculation of atomic mass.# protons gives chemical identification of the element# protons = atomic number (Z)# neutrons defines isotope numberThe atomic mass (A) = mass of protons + mass of neutronsThe bonding mechanisms between atoms are closely related to the structure of the atoms themselves.4MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingAtomic mass units. Atomic weight.The atomic mass unit (amu) is often used to express atomic weight. 1 amu is defined as 1/12 of the atomic mass of the most common isotope of carbon atom that has 6 protons (Z=6) and six neutrons (N=6).Mproton≈ Mneutron= 1.66 x 10-24g = 1 amu.The atomic mass of the 12C atom is 12 amu.The atomic weight of an element = weighted average of the atomic masses of the atoms naturally occurring isotopes. Atomic weight of carbon is 12.011 amu.The atomic weight is often specified in mass per mole. A mole is the amount of matter that has a mass in grams equal to the atomic mass in amu of the atoms (A mole of carbon has a mass of 12 grams).The number of atoms in a mole is called the Avogadro number, Nav= 6.023 × 1023. 1 amu/atom = 1 gram/molExample:Atomic weight of iron = 55.85 amu/atom = 55.85 g/mol5MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingThe number of atoms per cm3, n, for material of density d (g/cm3) and atomic mass M (g/mol):n = Nav×d / MGraphite (carbon): d = 2.3 g/cm3, M = 12 g/mol n = 6×1023atoms/mol × 2.3 g/cm3 / 12 g/mol = 11.5 × 1022atoms/cm3Diamond (carbon): d = 3.5 g/cm3, M = 12 g/mol n = 6×1023atoms/mol × 3.5 g/cm3 / 12 g/mol = 17.5 × 1022atoms/cm3Water (H2O) d = 1 g/cm3, M = 18 g/mol n = 6×1023molecules/mol × 1 g/cm3 / 18 g/mol = 3.3 × 1022molecules/cm3For material with n = 6 × 1022atoms/cm3we can calculate mean distance between atoms L = (1/n)1/3= 0.25 nm.  the scale of atomic structures in solids – a fraction of 1 nm or a few A.Some simple calculations6MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingElectrons in Atoms (I)Electrons move not in circular orbits, but in 'fuzzy‘ orbits. Actually, we cannot tell how it moves, but only can say what is the probability of finding it at some distance from the nucleus. Only certain “orbits” or shells of electron probability densities are allowed. The shells are identified by a principal quantum number n, which can be related to the size of the shell, n = 1 is the smallest; n = 2, 3 .. are larger. The second quantum number l, defines subshells within each shell. Two more quantum numbers characterize states within the subshells.The electrons form a cloud around the nucleus, of radius of 0.05 – 2 nm. This picture looks like a mini planetary system. But quantum mechanics tells us that this analogy is not correct:7MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingElectrons in Atoms (II)¾ The quantum numbers arise from solution of Schrodinger’s equation¾ Pauli Exclusion Principle: only one electron can have a given set of the four quantum numbers.The number of available states in electron shells & subshellsPrincipal Number Number of Electrons Q. N., n Subshells of States Per Subshell Per Shell1 (l=0) s 1 2 22 (l=0) s 1 2 82 (l=1) p 3 63 (l=0) s 1 2 183 (l=1) p 3 63 (l=2) d 5 104 (l=0) s 1 2 324 (l=1) p 3 64 (l=2) d 5 104 (l=3) f 7 14Each “orbit” or shell can accommodate only a maximum number of electrons, which is determined by quantum mechanics. In brief, the most inner K-shell can accommodate only two electrons, called s-electrons; the next L-shell two s-electrons and six p-electrons; the M-shell can host two s-electrons, six p-electrons, and ten d-electrons; and so on.K-shellL-shellM-shellN-shell8MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingElectrons in Atoms (III)¾ Electrons that occupy the outermost filled shell – the valence electrons – they are responsible for bonding.¾ Electrons fill quantum levels in order of increasing energy (only n, l make a significant difference).Examples: Argon, Z = 18: 1s22s22p63s23p6Iron, Z = 26: 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2Subshells by energy: 1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4s,4p,5s,4d,5p,6s,4f,…9MSE 2090: Introduction to Materials Science Chapter 2, BondingElectrons in Atoms (IV)Electron configuration(stable)... ... 1s22s22p63s23p6(stable)... 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p6(stable)Atomic
