PPT-Optomechanics with atoms

Darrick Chang ICFO The Institute of Photonic Sciences Barcelona Spain School on Quantum Nano and OptoMechanics July 8 2016 Motivation Optomechanics unprecedented levels of control over interactions between motion and light. 7.3 in your textbook. How atoms combine. Atoms with a full valence shell are very stable . Only the Noble gases are considered stable and therefore unreactive. Elements that have unfilled valence shells combine with other elements. Physical Science. Chapter 4 – Section 2. State Standards. CLE.3202.1.2 – Describe the structure and arrangement of atomic particles. What is an Atom?. The three main components of an atom are . distinquished. Chapter 2 BLB 12. th. Expectations. Recognize important steps in the discovery of the atom and its structure.. Work with isotopes.. Learn about the periodic table.. Differentiate between molecular and ionic compounds.. How many atoms?. The symbol for an atom is either one capital letter, or a capital letter followed by a lower case letter. . For example:. F is the symbol for Fluorine. Br is the symbol for Bromine. Molecules. Elements. Compounds. Atom. The smallest particle that can still be identified as the matter it came from.. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.. Consists of Protons (+), Electrons (-), and Neutrons (N).. Non metals and Metalloids. A non metal is an element that is not a metal and does not have properties of metals. A metalloid is an element that is not a metal but it is similar to a metal.. Physical properties of nonmetals: Most nonmetals are poor conductors of electric current and heat. Solid nonmetals tend to be dull and brittle.. Flame Test . Flame Test. According to Bohr theory of the atom, electrons may occupy only specific energy levels. Electrons in atoms jump from their ground state to excited states by absorbing energy. Eventually these electrons fall back to their ground state, reemitting the absorbed energy in the form of light. Because each atom has a unique structure and arrangement of electrons, each atom emits a unique spectrum of light. This characteristic light is the basis for the chemical test known as a flame test. In this test, being placed within a flame excites the atoms. As they reemit the absorbed energy in the form of light, the color of the flame changes. For most metals, these changes are easily visible. However, even the presence of a tiny speck of another substance can interfere with the identification of the true color of a particular type of atom. . . are the smallest components of nature. with the properties of a given substance.. Electrons. (negative charge). Protons. . (positive charge). Neutrons. . (no charge). For any given element:. Atomic Number . There are about 100 different types of atoms. An element is a substance which contains only one type of atom. Atoms. Atoms. The Periodic Table. The Periodic Table. Element, Compound, Mixture. Element, Compound, Mixture. Matter and Atoms. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. There are 4 phases of matter solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.. All matter is made of atoms.. Atoms are the building blocks of matter, sort of how bricks are the building blocks of houses.. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. These subatomic particles are charged….. Atoms make elements… Elements can’t be broken down into anything simpler. . Examples:. Carbon= C. Atoms and the Periodic Table Atomic Structure ATOM: the smallest particle that has the properties of an element. From the early Greek concept of the atom to the modern atomic theory, scientists have built on and modified existing models of the atom. Examples:. Hydrogen. Carbon. Chlorine. Titanium. Atom. Democritus (450 B.C.). If . you kept cutting a substance in half forever, eventually you would end up with an “. uncuttable. ” particle. . John Dalton (1800). Develop and use models to illustrate the structure of atoms, including the subatomic particles with their relative positions and charges.. Date. Essential Question(s). 1) . What is matter?. 2) . What is the basic structure of atoms?.
