Estrutura Atômica II Modelo Atômico de Thomson - Descoberta do elétron — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:10So, we saw that Dalton's atomic model
- 0:11was in 1803. The second atomic model
- 0:15would take quite a while to appear. It
- 0:19would only emerge from experiments
- 0:21carried out in Crookes tubes by Thomson
- 0:24. Let's talk a little bit about that
- 0:28before we start discussing the second
- 0:30atomic model, which will be the plum
- 0:33pudding model, Thomson's model. But
- 0:37first, let's see what happened
- 0:39previously so that Thomson could arrive
- 0:42at his atomic model. So we have a
- 0:45physicist here, Crookes, who performed
- 0:48some experiments in this tube that
- 0:51became known as the Crookes tube. What
- 0:54is a Crookes tube? It is a glass tube,
- 0:56as you can see there. And he created a
- 1:00vacuum, a gas under low pressure. The
- 1:03pressure here is on the order of 0.01
- 1:06atm. So, he placed a vacuum pump on
- 1:10this glass tube, so that only a
- 1:12residual gas remained inside, that is,
- 1:15a gas under low pressure. And he
- 1:19applied a very high potential
- 1:22difference here, on the order of 20,000
- 1:25V. When he applied this 20,000 V
- 1:27potential difference, he observed a
- 1:30light beam going from the cathode to
- 1:32the anode. And be careful, we will
- 1:37study electrochemistry, batteries, and
- 1:40electrolysis in physical chemistry in
- 1:43the second semester. And we will learn
- 1:45that the signs of the cathode and anode
- 1:47in batteries and electrolysis are
- 1:49opposite. The cathode in a battery is
- 1:52the positive pole. The anode in a
- 1:54battery is the negative pole. However,
- 1:57in electrolysis, it is the opposite.
- 1:59The cathode in electrolysis is the
- 2:01negative pole. And, excuse me, the
- 2:04cathode in electrolysis is the negative
- 2:06pole and the anode in electrolysis is
- 2:08the positive pole. The Crookes tube is
- 2:11not a spontaneous phenomenon; it is not
- 2:13a battery. We have a potential
- 2:16difference, a battery providing a
- 2:19potential difference. So here in the
- 2:22Crookes tube, you use the notation of
- 2:25electrolysis. Therefore, the cathode is
- 2:28the negative pole of the field and the
- 2:31anode is the positive pole of the field
- 2:34. I say this because many of my
- 2:35students who have already studied
- 2:37batteries and electrolysis say: "
- 2:39Alexandre, but isn't the cathode the
- 2:41positive pole?" I say, wait, the
- 2:43cathode is the positive pole of a
- 2:45battery. Here you use the notation of
- 2:47electrolysis, as this is a
- 2:49non-spontaneous phenomenon. So, the
- 2:51cathode is the negative pole in the
- 2:54Crookes tube and the anode is positive.
- 2:58Hence the name cathode rays, because
- 3:01these rays traveled from the cathode
- 3:04toward the anode. In other words, they
- 3:08left the negative pole and headed
- 3:11toward the positive pole. You will see
- 3:16that Thomson discovers that these
- 3:18cathode rays are, in fact, electrons.
- 3:22That is why we say that the one who
- 3:24discovered the first subatomic particle
- 3:27, which was the electron, was Thomson.
- 3:30But look, Crookes, when working with
- 3:33these tubes, was already working with
- 3:35cathode rays. And what are cathode rays
- 3:38? They are electrons. But it wasn't
- 3:41Crookes who discovered electrons,
- 3:43because he didn't say: "Look, cathode
- 3:46rays are a fundamental particle of
- 3:48matter.""They are present in any type
- 3:51of matter and, therefore, the atom is
- 3:53divisible.""This is a subatomic
- 3:54particle," and he could have given it
- 3:56any name, which Thomson will call
- 3:58electrons. So, Crookes worked with
- 4:01cathode rays, he worked with electrons,
- 4:04but he did not discover electrons. The
- 4:07one who will do that is Thomson, as I
- 4:09am about to narrate to you now. So, do
- 4:11you understand what a Crookes tube is?
- 4:14It is a glass tube with residual gas,
- 4:17that is, gas under very low pressure,
- 4:200.01 atm, where he applies an electric
- 4:23field, a very large potential
- 4:26difference, on the order of 20,000 V,
- 4:29and a ray emerges from the cathode to
- 4:32the anode, called cathode rays. That
- 4:37was the only thing Crookes did, right,
- 4:40that he managed to deduce. But Thomson,
- 4:45taking advantage of what Crookes
- 4:47discovered, performed some more
- 4:49sophisticated experiments to study the
- 4:52nature of these cathode rays. What was
- 4:56that? What was this luminous beam that
- 4:59came out of the negative pole of the
- 5:01cathode toward the positive pole of the
- 5:03anode, which we were calling cathode
- 5:06rays? So, in 1887, remember that
- 5:09Dalton's atomic model was in 1803. And
- 5:13here we have 1887, 84 years later,
- 5:16Thomson took Crookes 'tubes and
- 5:18performed some very interesting
- 5:21experiments to understand what these
- 5:24cathode rays were. Okay? First, Thomson
- 5:28discovered that the rays, the cathode
- 5:30rays had mass. Why? Because when he
- 5:34took a Crookes tube and made some
- 5:37modifications, for example, placing a
- 5:39small pinwheel here, let's say, in the
- 5:42direction of the cathode, between the
- 5:44cathode and the anode, he observed that
- 5:46this pinwheel began to spin. So, why
- 5:50did it start to spin? Because these
- 5:54cathode rays that were coming out of
- 5:56the cathode, upon colliding with this
- 5:59small pinwheel, made this pinwheel spin
- 6:01on its path from the cathode, which is
- 6:04the negative pole, to the anode, which
- 6:06is the positive pole. So, the first
- 6:11postulate or first important deduction
- 6:14by Thomson is that cathode rays have
- 6:17mass, so they are particles; they have
- 6:20a particle nature. Second ingenious
- 6:24modification that Thomson made, right?
- 6:29He took the Crookes tube and placed a
- 6:32screen in front of the cathode. And he
- 6:36observed that the cathode rays traveled
- 6:39in a straight line. Why did they travel
- 6:42in a straight line? Because they caused
- 6:46, they generated a shadow of that
- 6:48screen placed in front of the cathode,
- 6:50on the opposite wall of the tube. Look
- 6:54at the important deductions Thomson was
- 6:56reaching. The first is that cathode
- 6:59rays have mass because they were
- 7:01spinning that little pinwheel. The
- 7:05second is that cathode rays travel in a
- 7:08straight line, because by placing any
- 7:11screen in front of the cathode, which
- 7:14is the negative pole of this electric
- 7:16field, it cast a shadow of this screen
- 7:19on the opposite wall of the Crookes
- 7:22tube, okay? And Thomson continued
- 7:26making modifications to the Crookes
- 7:29tubes here, better understanding what
- 7:31these cathode rays were. After all, he
- 7:35had already deduced two pieces of
- 7:37information he had: cathode rays had
- 7:38mass and traveled in a straight line.
- 7:42Now, Thomson was spectacular. He placed
- 7:45a combination of an electric field and
- 7:49a magnetic field here in the Crookes
- 7:52tube. This he would also do. And then,
- 7:56by altering the intensities of the
- 7:58electric and magnetic fields, he would
- 8:00manage to discover the ratio between
- 8:01the mass and the charge of the electron
- 8:03. But first, he placed just an electric
- 8:07field here. When he placed an electric
- 8:09field, what did he observe? Here is a
- 8:11Crookes tube, always with the cathode
- 8:13and anode, cathode rays always leaving
- 8:14the cathode. He placed a screen here to
- 8:18let out a beam of cathode rays. This
- 8:22beam was deflected toward the positive
- 8:24pole of the field. Conclusion. If the
- 8:29cathode ray beam is deflected toward
- 8:32the positive pole of the field. Third,
- 8:37very important and ingenious conclusion
- 8:40by Thomson: cathode rays are negative
- 8:43because they are attracted by the
- 8:46positive pole of the field. Okay? Right
- 8:52. Three postulates. Cathode rays have
- 8:56mass, cathode rays travel in a straight
- 8:59line, and cathode rays are negative,
- 9:02they possess a negative charge. And
- 9:06then, very ingeniously, Thomson started
- 9:09changing the type of residual gas in
- 9:12the tube here. He used hydrogen gas,
- 9:16helium gas. Whatever gas he put in, the
- 9:19results were the same. The cathode rays
- 9:22traveled in a straight line. The
- 9:25cathode rays had mass, the cathode rays
- 9:27were negative. What was his conclusion?
- 9:30These cathode rays are present in any
- 9:32type of matter. Because regardless of
- 9:36the matter he used for the gas, to fill
- 9:38that gas, to compose the residual gas
- 9:41in the bulb, the experiments had the
- 9:43same results. And here showing how he
- 9:47was even more ingenious, spectacular,
- 9:49right? In 1897, he managed to calculate
- 9:55the ratio between the charge and mass
- 9:57of the electron, of the cathode ray.
- 10:00Here is what he did, look. He placed a
- 10:03combined electric field and magnetic
- 10:06field here. And then, according to the
- 10:11intensity of the electric and magnetic
- 10:13fields, he could deflect this beam.
- 10:17Notice that he made a little hole in
- 10:19the anode here, right? Here is the
- 10:21cathode, here is the anode, see. He
- 10:23made a hole in the anode for the beam
- 10:25of cathode rays to pass through the
- 10:26anode. Too ingenious, right? And then
- 10:31this beam was subjected to a
- 10:33combination of electric and magnetic
- 10:35fields. And when this beam passed
- 10:39through this electric and magnetic
- 10:41field, it underwent deflections. And
- 10:45then, by calculating the angle of these
- 10:47deflections and according to the
- 10:49intensity of the electric and magnetic
- 10:52fields he was using, he didn't discover
- 10:54the charge or the mass of an electron,
- 10:57but he discovered the ratio between the
- 10:59charge and the mass of an electron,
- 11:02which would be fundamental for another
- 11:04scientist, after him, to be able to
- 11:06discover the charge and the mass. He
- 11:10didn't discover either of the two; he
- 11:12discovered the ratio between the two,
- 11:14the ratio between the charge and the
- 11:16mass of the electron. So, as I said,
- 11:20according to the intensity of the
- 11:22magnetic and electric fields, the
- 11:25cathode rays underwent a greater or a
- 11:28lesser deflection. This means there was
- 11:32a proportion between the charge and the
- 11:35mass. The charge and the mass of the
- 11:38electron were altered according to the
- 11:40change in the intensity of the electric
- 11:43and magnetic fields, right? In other
- 11:46words, speaking better, the electron
- 11:49has a charge, has a mass, and as it
- 11:51propagates, according to this charge
- 11:53and this mass it has, this deflection
- 11:56was greater or lesser according to the
- 11:58intensity of the electric and magnetic
- 12:01field used. So he discovered the ratio
- 12:05between the charge and the mass of an
- 12:07electron to be 1.76 x 10 ^ 11 C/kg or
- 12:13converting to 1.76 x 10 ^ 8 C/g. Okay?
- 12:21What was Thomson's goal? It was to find
- 12:25the electron's charge to determine its
- 12:27mass. He didn't do either, but he
- 12:30already took a big step because he
- 12:32discovered the ratio between the charge
- 12:34and the mass of an electron. Whoever
- 12:37discovered the charge would notably be
- 12:40able to discover its mass as well. So
- 12:43Thomson discovered the first subatomic
- 12:46particle of matter. Which one was it?
- 12:50The electron. So the question is, who
- 12:52says which was the first subatomic
- 12:54particle? The electron. Who discovered
- 12:57the electron? Thomson. He was the first
- 13:00to work with electrons. No. The first
- 13:03to work with electrons, which are
- 13:04cathode rays, was Crookes. But he
- 13:07didn't have the capacity, right? He
- 13:11didn't perform the necessary
- 13:12experiments to say that electrons were
- 13:15present in any type of matter and that,
- 13:17therefore, the atom would now be
- 13:19divisible. Which would ruin the atomic
- 13:22model in vogue at the time, which was
- 13:24Dalton's atomic model, the experimental
- 13:27atomic model. The first experimental
- 13:29atomic model was Dalton's. And now the
- 13:32second atomic model emerges, because
- 13:34with this atomic model, matter now had
- 13:37a particle smaller than the atom, which
- 13:39were the electrons. And then Thomson
- 13:43announces his atomic model. This was in
- 13:471897, a model that became known as the
- 13:52plum pudding, right? Why? Because the
- 13:57atom would be a solid, homogeneous, and
- 14:00positive sphere. This sphere would be
- 14:05positive. And to neutralize this
- 14:10positive sphere, there were electrons
- 14:14embedded on the surface of this atom.
- 14:19Here is the famous plum pudding. Here
- 14:22we would have a positive sphere, a
- 14:25positive charge spread throughout the
- 14:28entire sphere. And to neutralize it,
- 14:31since the atom is a neutral species, we
- 14:34would have electrons embedded on the
- 14:36surface of this sphere. Okay? So, look
- 14:40at how we learn very important things
- 14:42from the Crookes tube and the
- 14:43experiments. What are cathode rays?
- 14:46They are electrons. What are the
- 14:48characteristics of cathode rays? They
- 14:51travel in a straight line, they have
- 14:53mass, they are negative. Actually,
- 14:57cathode rays are electrons and Thomson
- 14:59was the first to discover these
- 15:01electrons, the first subatomic particle
- 15:03. And he even discovered the
- 15:07charge-to-mass ratio of an electron as
- 15:11being 1.76 x 10 ^ 8 coulombs per gram.
- 15:17Here is the plum pudding atomic model.
- 15:19What was the first atomic model?
- 15:21Dalton's, the billiard ball model. The
- 15:23atom is a solid, indivisible,
- 15:25indestructible sphere. There are no
- 15:27subatomic particles. In Thomson's model
- 15:31, there are already subatomic particles
- 15:33, which in this case is one subatomic
- 15:35particle, the electrons. Okay?
