Structure Of Atom Flashcards
-ve electrode
Cathode
Cathode rays are
deflects towards +ve plate
Travel in straight lines(absence of Elec field)
From cathode to anode
Not visible
In the presence of elec/mag field, the behavior is similar to -ve charged particles called electrons
Don’t depend on material of electrode or nature of gas
Amount of deviation of particles depend on
Greater the magnitude of-ve charge, more deflection
Lighter the particle more deflection
Strength of elec/mag field, increase in voltage increase deflection
Mass of electron
M(e) = 9.1 × 10^-31kg
Anode rays
E/m ratio Depends on nature of gas
+vely charged particles
Behavior in mag/elec field is opposite to cathode rays
Smallest and lightest +ve ion
Proton
Thomson’s model of atom
Atom is of spherical shape
+ve charge is evenly distributed
E’s are embedded into it to give it the most stable electrostatic arrangement
Called plum pudding model
Ruthaford’s nuclear model
+ve charge & mass of atom was densely concentrated in small region called nucleus
Nucleus is surrounded by e’s that move with high speed in orbits
E’s and nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction
Ruthaford Alpha particle scattering Expt.
Most of the particles passed w/o deflection
Small fraction of them deflected by small angles
Few particles deflected 180°
Conclusion:
Most of the space in atom is empty
Deflection mist be due to repulsive force showing that +ve charge is spread throughout the atom
small angles showed the presence of heavy center called nucleus.
Volume of nucleus is very small as that of atom
Atomic no Z =
No. of protons = no. of e’s
Mass no A=
No of protons(Z) + No of neutrons(n)
Isobars vs isotopes
Same mass no diff atom no
Same atom no diff mass no
Drawbacks of ruthaford’s model(alpha)
- Cannot explain stability of atom by Maxwell
- Can’t explain distribution of e’s around nucleus & energies of e’s
Electromagnetic theory of Maxwell
Maxwell said charged particles when accelerated should emit radiation, so the orbit will shrink and make the ‘e’ to spiral to the nucleus
Dev leading to Bohr’s model
- Dual char of radiation: wave & particle nature
- Atomic spectra
