Ql What is the Dalton’s atomic Ans: Dalton’s atomic theory In the beginning of 19th century John Dalton put forward Atomic Theory. According to it 'all matter is made up of very small indivisible particles called atoms’. i, All matter is composed of atoms. ii, An atom is an indivisible, hard, dense sphere. ili, Atoms of the same element are alike. eS iv. They combine in different ways to form compounds. pudding theory? Jd Thomson (1856-1940) was a British physicist. He was awarded the 1906 Noble Prize in Physies for the discovery of electron and for ‘his work on the conduction of lcci in gases. In the light of Dalton’s atomic theory, scientists performed a series of experiments. But in the late 18008 and early 1900's, scientists observed new sub-atomic particles Plum pudding theory In the late 1800, J.J Thomson proposed a model of an atom based on coulomb's law ‘Thomson put forth his "plum pudding" theory. “He postulated that atoms wore solid structures of positively charge with tiny negative particles stuck inside. It is like plums in the pudding.” oO ° ° ° Positive Ball 9 6 Electron Q2 How the cathode rays were discovered? What are its major properties? (Ex. Q.2) Ans: Cathode rays and discovery of electron: (Ex. Q.1) ‘Sir William Crooks (1832-1919) was a British chemist and physicist. He was Pioneer of a vacuum tubes. He worked ‘on spectroscopy.Introduction In 1879 Sir William Crooks performed experiments by passing electric current through gases in a discharge tube at very low pressure. Experiment: He took a glass tube fitted with two metallic electrodes, which were connected to a high voltage battery. The pressure inside the tube was kept 10 atm, When high voltage current was passed through the gas, shiny rays were emitted from the cathode surface move towards the anode as shown in figure 2.1 ‘Name Reasons: ‘These rays were given the name of ‘cathode rays’ as these were originated from the cathode. Properties of eathode rays: The major characteristics of cathode rays are given below: i. ‘Travelling in straight line: These rays travel in a straight line perpendicular to the cathode surface. Costing of shadow: They can cast a sharp shadow of an opaque object if placed in their path, iii, Deflection in electric field: They are deflected towards positive plate in an electric field showing that they are negatively charged. iv. Rise im temperature: They raise temperature of the body on which they fall ¥. _ e/m ratio: J.J. Thomson discovered their charge/mass (¢ / m) ratio: vi. Production of light: Light is produced when these rays hit the sides of the discharge tube vii. Nature of cathode: It was found that the same type of rays were emitted, no matter which gas and which cathode was used in the discharge tube. Conclusions: i. All these properties suggested that the nature of cathode rays was independent of the nature of the gas present in the discharge tube or material of the cathode. ‘The fact that they cast the shadow of an opaque object suggested that these are not rays but they are fast moving material particles. They were given the name electrons, Since all the materials produce same type of particles, it means all the materials contain electrons. As we know materials are composed of atoms, hence the electrons are fundamental particles of atoms.Q3 How the protons were discovered? Write down its properties. (Ex. Q.3) oR Draw a labeled diagram to show the presence of protons in the discharge tube and explain how canal rays were produced. Ans: Discovery of proto Introduction: Protons were discovered by Goldstein in 1886. Experiment: Goldstein observed that in addition to cathode rays, other ra s were also present in the discharge tube. These rays were traveling in opposite direction to cathode rays. He used a discharge tube having perforated cathode as shown in figure 2.2. He found that these rays passed through holes present in the cathode and produced a glow on the wall. He called these rays as “canal rays". 1 II l Battery oe. & \ ¢ (+) anode Canal Rays o (C) perforated cathode to vacuum pup Fig 2.2 Discharge tube used for the production of canal rays. Properties of positive rays or canal rays: i, Travelling in straight line: These rays travel in a straight line in a direction opposite to cathode rays. i, Deflection in electric field: Their deflection in electric and magnetic field proved that these were positively charged. Dependence: The nature of canal rays depends upon the nature of gas, present in the discharge tube iv. Origin: These rays do not originate from the anode, In fact these ray’ are produced when the cathode rays or electrons collide with the residual gas molecule present in the discharge tube and ionize them. vv. Mass of positive rays: Mass of these part cles was found equal to that of a proton or simple multiple of it. The mass of a proton is 1840 times more than that of an electron. Results: i. These rays are made up of positively charged particles. fi, ‘The mass and charge of these particles depend upon the nature of the gas in the discharge tube. Hence, different gases produce different types of positive rays having particles of different masses and different charges. iii, Positive particles produced by a gas will be of the same type ie, positive rays produced by the lightest gas hydrogen contain protons.Q.4 How were neutrons discovered? Write down their properties. An Historic Discovery of Neutron Backgrounds: Rutherford observed that atomie mass of the element could not be explained on the basis of the masses of electron and proton only. He predicted in 1920 that some neutral particle having mass equal to that of proton must be pres scientists were in search of such a neutral particle, Experiment: In 1932 Chadwick discovered neutron, when he bombarded alpha particles ona beryllium target. He observed that highly penetrating radiations were produced. These radiations were called neutron. 3 Be+ SHe—>2C+ in Properties i. Charge: Neutrons carry no charge i.e. they are neutral fi, Penetration: They are highly penetrating, iii, Mass: Mass of these particles was nearly equal to the mass of a proton. Q.5 How Rutherford discovered that atom has a nucleus located at the centre of the atom? (Ex. Q.4) OR Explain the Rutherford’s atomic structure experiment and atomic model detail. Ans: Rutherford's Experiment (Gold Foil Experiment / c-Scatt Introduction This experiment was performed by Lord Rutherford and his co-worker in 1911. For his work he was awarded |Nobel prize for chemistry in 1908. Objectives: ing Experiment / Atomic Structure Experiment) Rutherford performed 'Gold Foil! experiment to understand how negative and positive charges could coexist in an atom, Experiment: He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004 cm thick gold foil. Alpha particles are emitted by radioactive elements like radium and polonium: These are actually helium nuclei (He). They can penetrate through matter to some extent. He observed the effects of a-particles on a photographic plate or a screen coated with zine sulphide He proved that the ‘plum-pudding’ model of the atom was not correct.Rutherford was a British New Zealand chomist. He performed a series of experiments using a ‘particles. He won the 1908 Noble Prize in Chemistry. In 1911, he proposed the ruciear model of the atom and performed the first experiment 10 split atom. arg detection Because of his great ~ contributions, he is considered the father of nuclear science majority of particles ‘pass Undefiected Observations: ‘The observation made by Rutherford were as follows: i. Almost all the particles passed through the foil un-deflected. ii, Out of 20000 particles, only a few were deflected at fairly large angles and very few bounced back on hitting the gold foil. Results of the experiment (Postulates of Rutherford’s Atomic Model: Rutherford proposed planetary model for an atom and coneluded following results: Empty part: since most of the particles passed through the foil un-deflected, therefore most of the volume occupied by an atom is empty. fi, Center of positive charges: The deflection of a few particles proved that there is a ‘center of positive charges’ in an atom, which is called ‘nucleus' of an atom. iii, Dense and hard nucleus: The complete rebounce of a few particles show that the nucleus is very dense and hard. iv. Size of nucleus: Since a few particles were deflected it shows that the size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the volume of an atom. vy. Revolving of electron: The electrons revolve around the nucleus. vi. Number of electrons and proto number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons. vii. Nucleon number: Except electrons, all other fimdamental particles that lie within a nucleus are known as nucleons. Defects in Rutherford's Model: Although Rutherford’s experiment proved that the plum pudding model of an atom was not correct, yet it had following defects: Stability of atom: According to classical theory, electrons being the charged particles should release or emit energy continuously and they should ultimately fall into the nucleus. ii, Nature of spectrum: If the electrons emit energy continuously, they should form a continuous spectrum but in fact, line spectrum was observed Despite of objections on the Rutherford’s atomic model, yet it cultivated thought provoking ideas among them. An atom as a whole is neutral, therefore theQ6 — Write down the postulates of Bohr’s atomic theory. oR How Bohr prove that an atom must exist? Ans: Bohr's atomic theory: Introduction Neil Bohr presented another model of atom in 1913, keeping in view the defects in Rutherford’s atomic model. Basis of Bohr’s Atomic Theory ‘The Quantum Theory of Max Planck was used as foundation for this model. Energy of an electron: According to Boht’s model revolving electron in an atom does not absorb or emit energy continuously. The energy of a revolving electron is ‘quantized! as it revolves only in orbits of fixed energy, called ‘energy levels’ by him. Niels Bokr was a Danish physicist who joined Rutherford in 1912 for his post doctoral research. In 1913, Bohr resented his atomic model based upon Quantum theory. He won the 1922 Noble Price for Physics for his work on the structure of an atom. Postulates of Bohr’s atomic theory: i. Structure of hydrogen atom: The hydrogen atom consists of a tiny nucleus and electrons are revolving in one of circular orbits of radius or’ around the nucleus. ii, Energy of orbit: Each orbit has a fixed energy that is quantized. ii, Emission or absorption of energy: As long as electron remains in a particular orbit it does not radiate or absorb energy. The energy is emitted or absorbed only when an electron jumps from one orbit to another. iv, Change in energy: When an electron jumps from lower orbit to higher orbit it absorbs energy and when it jumps back from higher orbit to lower orbit it radiates energy. Fig 24 Bote atom med! showing ois This change in energy, AE is given by following Planck's equation E2- Fi =ho Where, h is Planck's constant equal to 6.63 x 10 J s, and v is frequency of light, vy. Angular momentum: Electron can revolve only in orbits of a fixed angular moment myr, given as: h vr =n Qa Where ‘n’ is the quantum number or orbit number having values 1, 2, 3 and so on.Q.7 What are differences between Rutherford’s Atomic theory and Bohr’s Atomic theory?

Since K shell is closest to the nucleus, the energy of shells increases from K shell and onwards. Shells and their energies: 1 energy level is K shell; it has the lowest energy. 2 energy level is L shell: it has more energy than K shell. 3"4 energy level is M shell; it has more energy than K and L shell. 4" energy level is N shell; it has more energy than K, Land M shell Maximum capacity of shells to accommodate electrons: ‘The number of electron that a shell can accommodate is given by 2 shell number, K shell: n? = 2(1)?= 21 =2 L shell: 2n?= 2(2)= 24 =8 GC) M shell: 2n? = 2(3)? = 2x9 = 18 N shell: 2n? = 2(4)?= 216 =32 Figure showing different energy levels or shells counted from the centre outwards.b. Sub-shell: “Bach shell consists of one or more sub shells or orbitals. Each subshell is designated by a small alphabet called letter s, p, d, fete.” Properties of subshells: i, First energy level or K shell has only one subshell called s subshell. ii, Second energy level L, shell has two subshells s and p. ili, Third energy level M shell has three subshells s, p and d iv.

What are basic requirements while writing electronic configuration of an element. OR Explain electronic configuration and give the rules for electronic configuration, Ans: Electronic Configuration: “The distribution of electrons. around the. nucleus in various shells and subshells according to their increasing energy is called electronic configuration." Principle: The electronic configuration of an atom can be written by using the Aufbau principle “In filling the subshells, electrons always enter in lower energy subshell first.” The increasing order in which the electrons will enter into subshell is: Is*, 2s*, sp, 35%, 3p®, 4s*, 3d”, 4p®, 5s? etc. Where, i. ‘n’ represents the shell number ii.

The most stable or ground state electronic configuration of an atom is the one in which electrons are present in the lowest possible energy level.ii, The electrons fill the shells in order of their increasing energy, i.e. lower energy level is occupied first then the higher energy level and so on as indicated earlier. ‘The maximum capacity of sub shells to accommodate electrons: orbital can accommodate 2 electrons. 'p’ orbital can accommodate 6 electrons. ‘d' orbital can accommodate 10 electrons, 'f orbital can accommodate 14 electrons ‘The maximum capacity of shells to accommodate electrons: ‘The maximum capacity of shells to accommodate electrons is as follows: K shell: 2n? = 2(1)?= 2x1 = 2 L shell: 2n?= 202 =24=8 ‘As we know there is a slight difference between the energies of the sub shells or orbital within a shell, therefore, filling of electrons in sub shells of a shell is such as that’s! sub shell is filled first and then its p sub shell and then other sub shells are filled, Basie requirements for writing electronic configuration: While writing the electronic configuration of the elements and their ions, we should know three things. i.
