Experiments of Cathode Rays (Discovery of Electron)
When electron discharges from a high potential source and passed through a discharge tube evacuated to
a pressure of 0.01 mm or less, rays are emitted from the cathode. These are commonly known as cathode
ray. Cathode rays comprise of negatively-charged particles called electrons.

Properties of cathode rays
(i) They travel in straight lines at right angle to the cathode surface.
(ii) They are material particles as they produce mechanical motion in a small paddle wheel placed in
their path. The name electron to these material particles was given by Stony.
(iii) They are deflected from their path by electric and magnetic fields as they are electrically charged.
Direction of deflection indicates that they are negatively charged.
Explanation of discharge phenomenon:
At low pressure the electrons can move through a considerably large distance before attaching to another
molecule forming a negative ion which is not possible at high pressure. These free electrons and the
positive ions are responsible for conduction of electricity.
At very low pressure around 0.01 mm of Hg the walls of tube begin to glow this is called florescence. The
colour of glow depends on nature of glass. It is yellowish green for soda glass.
If the pressure is still decreased the current through the gas gradually decreases and finally the tube stops
conducting.
In vacuum there are no charges and hence no conduction occurs.
Note:
Charge on electron was given by R. A. Mullikans by an oil drop experiment. Its value was found to be
1.6 10
19
coulombs which is taken as one unit negative charge.
... 3 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
e/m for electrons (cathode rays) is a fundamental property, i.e. it does not depend upon:
(1) Metal used as cathode.
(2) Gases used in discharge tube.
Thomson determined e/m value as 1.76 10
8
coulombs/g
By knowing charge over an electron and e/m ratio, we can get the value of mass.
Mass of electron m =

28 31
e 1.6 10 coulombs/ electron
e/ m
1.76 10 coulombs/ g
9.1 10 g or 9.1 10 kg


This is rest mass of electron which is
1
1837
times the mass of a hydrogen atom.
Mass of electron moving with a velocity v is given by

(c = Velocity of light, v = Velocity of elelctron)


It is clear that with increase in velocity, mass of electron would increase but the velocity cannot equal or
exceed the velocity of light.
Anode Rays (Discovery of proton)
It is a well-known fact that the atom is electrically neutral. The presence of negatively-charged electrons in
the atom emphasized the presence of positively-charged particles.
To detect the presence of positively-charged particles, the discharge tube experiment was carried out, in
which a perforated cathode was used. Gas at low pressure was kept inside the tube. On passing high
voltage between the electrodes it was observed that some rays were emitted from the side of the anode.
These rays passed through the holes in the cathode and produced green fluorescence on the opposite
glass wall coated with ZnS. These rays consist of positively-charged particles.

Chadwick in 1932 discovered the neutron by bombarding elements like beryllium with
fast moving -particles. He observed that some new particles were emitted which
carried no charge and had mass equal to that of proton.
Atomic Models
J.J. Thomsons Model of an Atom
An atom consisted of a uniform sphere of positive charge in which the electrons were embedded, so as to
make the atom electrically neutral. This is known as plum-pudding model.

Advantages of Thomsons Model
This model was quite attractive as it could explain several observations available at that time.
1. It could explain why only negatively charged particles are emitted when metal is heated and never
positive charged particles.
2. It could also explain the formation of ions and ionic compounds of chemistry.
Disadvantages
1. Almost free passage of cathode rays through an atom was not consistent with Thomsons model for
that the atom should have a lot of empty space.
2. The phenomenon of - rays scattering could not be explained by this model.
Rutherfords Experiment
The experiment involved scattering of massive -particles by very thin foils of metals such as gold, silver
etc., of thickness 0.0004 mm. The position of the particles after passing through the foil was ascertained
by the flash produced on a ZnS screen.

Observations
a. Most of the -particles passed through the metal foil without any deflection in their path.
b. Some -particles were deflected through small angles.
c. Very few -particles (1 in 20,000) were deflected by an angle greater than 90or even were deflected
back completely.
Conclusions
a. Most of the space in the atom is empty.
b. The nucleus is surrounded by negatively-charged electrons, which revolve around the nucleus.
c. An atom consists of an extremely small dense positively-charged nucleus which is present at the
centre of the atom. Size of nucleus is 10
5
to 10
6
times less than

the size of atom.
This model is called Rutherfords model
... 6 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
Drawbacks of Rutherfords Model
According to Maxwells equation of electro magnetism when a charged particle moves with acceleration, it
continuously loses energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. So should be the case with electrons,
and as a result of loss of energy, its motion should slow down and it should eventually fall into the nucleus
as it will no longer be able to withstand the attractive forces of the nucleus. As a result the atom should
collapse. But we all know that an atom is quite stable. Rutherford was unable to account for the stability of
the atom.
Note: Atomic number and mass number Atom is electrically neutral hence it is necessary for the
number of protons to be equal to the number of electrons in order to balance the charges.
Atomic number (Z) = Number of protons present in the nucleus = Number of electrons present in the atom.
Mass number of an element (A) = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The basic source
of electromagnetic waves is an accelerated charge, this produces changing electric magnetic field which
constitute the wave. Both the components have same wavelength and frequency and travel in planes
perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave.

Plancks quantum theory
The three key points of Plancks quantum theory are as follows.
a. Radiant energy is absorbed or emitted discontinuously in the form of small packets of energy
called quanta. In case of light energy these packets are called photons.
b. Energy of each photon is directly proportional to the frequency of radiation. This is mathematically
expressed as

Photoelectric Effect
Sir J.J. Thomson observed that electrons are emitted instantaneously from a clean metal plate in vacuum
when a beam of light falls on it. This is called the photoelectric effect. Usually such an effect is produced
by a radiation in the UV region and also in some cases in the visible region. Photoelectric effect is an
illustration of the particle nature of light. Photoelectric emissions are associated with the following facts.
(a) Electrons are emitted instantaneously from a clean metal plate when irradiated with a radiation of
frequency equal to or greater than some minimum frequency, called the threshold frequency.
The energy corresponding to this frequency is known as the work function.
(b) Kinetic energy of the emitted electrons depends upon the frequency of the incident radiation and
not on its intensity. The kinetic energy increases linearly with the increase in the frequency of
radiation.
(c) The number of electrons emitted is proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
Suppose, the threshold frequency of light required to eject electrons from a metal is
0
and hence
the minimum energy required is
0
h . If the frequency of light is higher than
0
(Let ), then the
excess energy will be converted to the kinetic energy of the electron.

Types of Spectrum
Spectra is classified into two types depending upon the source of radiation.
(a) Emission spectra
(b) Absorption spectra
(a) Emission spectra
Emission spectrum is obtained when the radiations from a source (electric discharge through a gas
at low pressure) are passed directly through a prism and received on a photographic plate.
There are two types of emission spectra:
(i) Continuous spectra
... 10 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
Beam
Prism
Photographic plate
White light
When white light is passed through a prism, it splits into seven different colours from violet to red.
The colour band is continuous and merge into other colour bands before and after it. Thus, we get a
continuous spectrum.
(ii) Line spectra:
Prism
Photographic plate
When an electric discharge is passed through a gas at low pressure, light is emitted. If this light is
passed through a prism and on to a photographic plate, it is observed that lines separated from each
other are obtained on the photographic plate. Thus, we get a line spectra.
(b) Absorption spectra
When white light from the sun or from a bulb is passed through the vapours or solution of a chemical
substance, i.e. sodium vapours and then passed through a prism and on to a photographic film,
some dark lines are observed in the continuous spectrum. The appearance of dark lines in the
continuous spectrum is due to the absorption of certain wavelength by the sodium vapours.
... 11 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
Hydrogen Spectrum
On supplying energy to the hydrogen atom, the electron in its ground state gets excited to higher energy
levels. It then tends to return to its ground state by emitting the energy absorbed in the form of radiations
which produce lines which collectively form the hydrogen spectrum.

Bohrs model of atom


Neil Bohr on the basis of Plancks quantum theory overcame the drawbacks of Rutherfords model and
suggested a modified model of an atom which retained the key features of Rutherfords model and introduced
the concept of stationary orbits.
Bohrs postulates:
i. An atom comprises of a small positively-charged nucleus in the centre in which the entire mass is
concentrated.
ii. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits, these orbits have a fixed value of energy.
They are popularly known as stationary orbits. When an electron revolves in a circular orbit, energy
is neither emitted nor absorbed. This is known as quantization of energy.
iii. Electron can revolve only in those orbits whose angular momentum is an integral multiple of the
factor
h

Reduced mass
According to Bohr, in an atom electron is revolving in a circular orbit around the stationary nucleus. But
nucleus will be stationary only if, the mass of the nucleus is infinite and we know
mass of electron 1
mass of proton 1836

so for lighter elements we cant assume nucleus as stationary. Actually the nucleus oscillates slightly

where

Facts in favour of Bohrs theory
(i) The frequencies of the spectral line of the hydrogen spectrum, as calculated using Bohrs theory
are in close agreement with their experimental values.
(ii) The value of Rydbergs constant as calculated from Bohrs theory is in full agreement with the
value obtained from spectroscopic studies.
(iii) The radii and energy of permissible orbits are consistent with their experimental values.
(iv) The absorption and emission spectra of H and H-like atoms is quite well explained.
Drawbacks of Bohrs theory
1. The theory explains the spectrum of only hydrogen and hydrogen-like species.
2. The splitting of spectral lines in magnetic field is called Zeeman effect, and the splitting of lines in
electric field is called Stark effect. These phenomenon could not be explained by Bohr.
3. It provides no proof for postulate which states quantization of angular momentum

4. It is not in accordance with dual nature of electron, as according to Bohr, electron behaves as a
particle and has no wave nature associated with it.
5. It was unable to account for Heisenbergs uncertainty principle.
Dual nature of electrons
de Broglie pointed out that matter has both particle and wave nature.
The phenomenon of electron diffraction established the wave nature of electrons and the phenomenon of
photoelectric effect and black body radiation established the particle nature of electrons.
de Broglie derived an expression for calculating the wavelength of the wave associated with an electron.

= h/p (p =momentum)

Wavelength
p Momentum
... 17 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
The above equation is called de Broglie equation and the wavelength is called de Broglies wavelength.
Let a photon of mass m moves with a velocity c around the nucleus and be associated with a wave of
wavelength . From Plancks equation, we have
E = hv
and Einsteins equation gives
E = mc

Combining both equations, we have

Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle
According to the principle, It is impossible to determine exactly both the position and the momentum
(or velocity) of an electron or any other microscopic moving particle at the same time. Any
attempt to locate an electron changes its momentum.
If x is the uncertainty in position and p is the uncertainty in momentum, then according to Heisenbergs
principle, these two quantities are related as follows:

h
x . p

( a constant)
h
x . m v

h
x . v
4 m

x
Uncertainty in position
v
Uncertainty in velocity
... 18 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
Explanation: Let us try to measure both the position and momentum of an electron. To find the position of
the electron we have to use light so that photon of light strikes the electron. As a result of lighting the
position as well as the velocity of electron are disturbed but the accuracy with which the position of a
particle can be measured depends upon wavelength of light used. The uncertainity in measurement of
position using wavelength is . Therefore shorter the wavelength the greater is the accuracy. But shorter
wavelength means higher frequency and hence higher energy. When the high energy photon strikes the
electron it changes its speed as well as direction. But this is not true for macroscopic moving particles. So
Heisenbergs uncertainity principle has no significance in everyday life.

Concept of Orbital
Following Heisenbergs uncertainty principle, we replace the concept of orbit (introduced by Bohr) by the
concept of orbital. Orbital refers to three-dimensional space around the nucleus within which the probability
of finding an electron of given energy is maximum.
Quantum or Wave Mechanical Model of Atom
This new model of atom was put forward by Schrodinger taking into account the de Broglie concept of dual
nature and Heisenbergs uncertainity principle. He described the motion of the electron in three-dimensional
space in terms of a mathematical equation called Schrodinger wave equation.

solutions of the above equation for the energy E are called eigen values and the corresponding wave
function are called eigen functions. These functions have to be single valued, continuous and finite.

Plot of radial wave function R
The plot of radial wave function as a function of distance r from the nucleus gives the information about how
the radial wave function changes with distance r and about the presence of nodes where the change of sign
of R occurs.
The square of radial wave function R
2
for an orbital gives the probability density of finding the electron at a
point along a particular radial line. Since the atoms have spherical symmetry, it is more useful to discuss
the probability of finding the electron in a spherical shell between the spheres of radius (r + dr) and r. The
volume of the shell is equal to 4r
2
dr.
This probability which is independent of direction is called radial probability and is equal to
2 2
4 r drR
.
Radial probability function (= 4r

nucleus regardless of direction.

At node, the value of radial function changes from positive to negative.
It has been found that ns-orbitals have (n 1) nodes and np orbitals have n 2 nodes.
The radial probability function for the 1s orbital initially increases with increase in distance from the nucleus.
It reaches a maximum at a distance very close to the nucleus and then decreases. The maxima in the
curve corresponds to the distance at which the probability of finding the electron is maximum. This distance
is called the radius of maximum probability.
The radial probability function curve for 2s orbital shows two maxima, a smaller one near the nucleus and
a bigger one at a larger distance. In between these two maxima it passes through a zero value indicating
that there is zero probability of finding the electron at that distance. The point at which the probability of
finding the electron is zero is called a nodal point.
... 21 Chemistry / Atomic Structure
The distance of maximum probability for a 2p electron is slightly less than that for 2s electron. However, in
contrast to 2p curve, there is a small additional maxima in the 2s curve. This indicates that the electron in
2s orbital spends some of its time near the nucleus. In other words, the 2s electron penetrates a little
closer to the nucleus and is therefore held more tightly than the 2p electron. So electron in 2s orbital is
more stable and has lower energy than an electron in 2p orbital.
Plots of angular wave function
The plots of the angular wave function , and angular probability |, |

for s and p

orbitals are shown
below (fig a, b)

For an s-orbital, the angular part is independent of angle and is therefore of constant value. Hence the
graph is circular or to be precise spherical. For the p
z
orbital, we get two tangent spheres The p
x
and p
y
are
identical in shape but are oriented along x and y axes respectively.
In the angular wave function plots, the distance from the centre is proportional to the numerical values of ,
in that direction and is not the distance from the centre of nucleus.
The angular probability density plots can be obtained by squaring the angular function plots. For s-orbital,
the squaring causes no change in shape. For both p and d orbitals, however, on squaring the plot tends to
become more elongated (fig b).
For a hydrogen atom, wave function of principal quantum number, n, there is a total of (n 1) nodes that
occur at finite values of the radial distance, r. The number of angular nodes is just equal to the angular
momentum quantum number, l.
Thus, we have
angular nodes = l,
radial nodes = n l 1.
total nodes = n 1,
We should note that the total number of nodes in an atomic wave function is sometimes stated to be n
rather than n 1. In this case, the node that always occur at r = is being included in the count.

Shapes of Orbitals
s-orbital:- s-orbitals do not have directional character. They are spherically symmetrical.
The s-orbital of higher energy levels are also spherically symmetrical. They are more diffused and have
spherical shells within them where probability of finding the electron is zero.
In the s-orbital, number of nodes is (n 1)

p-orbital:- p orbital has a dumb-bell shape and it has a directional character.
The two lobes of a p-orbital are separated by a plane that contains the nucleus and is perpendicular to the
corresponding axis. Such plane is called a nodal plane because there is no probability of finding the
electron.

Quantum Numbers
These are used to determine the region of probability of finding a particular electron in an atom.
(a) Principal quantum number (n):
This denotes the energy level or the principal or main shell to which an electron belongs. It can
have only integral values 1, 2, 3 etc. The letters K, L, M ... are also used to designate the value of n.
Thus, an electron in the K shell has n = 1, that is L shell has n = 2 and so on.

Solution: n = 2

(c) Magnetic quantum number (m):


It gives us the idea about the orientations an orbital can have in space in the presence of magnetic
field. The values of m depend on l orbital quantum number.
Total number of alue of m=(2l+1) and it varries from l to +l.
For example, for l = 0 the value of magnetic quantum number m is also equal to zero, i.e. s-orbital
can have only one orientation in space in presence of magnetic field.

Distribution of Electrons in an Atom:- Electronic configuration
The filling up of orbitals with electrons takes place according to certain rules which are given below:
(i) The maximum number of electrons in a main shell is equal to 2n
2
, where n is the principal quantum
number.
(ii) The maximum number of electrons in a sub-shell like s, p, d, f is equal to 2(2l + 1), where l is the
azimuthal quantum number for the respective orbitals. Thus s, p, d, f can have a maximum of
2, 6, 10 and 14 electrons respectively.
(a) Aufbau Principle
According to this principle, Electrons are added progressively to the various orbitals in the order of
increasing energy.
What does the word Aufbau mean?
Aufbau is a German term which means building up or construction.
The energy of various orbitals increase in the order given below:
1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s < 4f < 5d < 6p < 7s < 5f < 6d < 7p < 8s ...

(i) A new electron enters the orbitals for which (n + l) is minimum, e.g. if we consider 3d and 4s
orbitals, the electron will first enter 4s-orbitals in preference to 3d.
This is because the value of (n + l) for 4s-orbitals is less (4 + 0 = 4) than that for 3d-orbital
(3 + 2 = 5)
(ii) In case where (
n + l
) values are the same, the new electron enters the orbital for which n is
minimum, e.g. in a choice between 3d and 4p for which (n + l) values are same
(3 + 2 = 5, 4 + 1 = 5), the electron will prefer to go to the 3d-orbital, since n is lower for this
orbital.
(b) Paulis Exclusion Principle
It states that it is impossible for two electrons in a given atom to have same set of all four quantum
numbers.
OR
An orbital can have a maximum of two electrons and that too with opposite spin.
Example:
(a) n = 2, l = 0, m = 0, s = +1/2
n = 2, l = 0, m = 0, s = 1/2
(b) n = 2, l = 1, m = 0, s = +1/2
n = 2, l = 1, m = 0, s = 1/2
n = 2, l = 1, m = +1, s = +1/2
n = 2, l = 1, m = +1, s = 1/2
n = 2, l = 1, m = 1, s = +1/2
n = 2, l = 1, m = 1, s = 1/2
(c) Hunds Rule of Maximum Multiplicity
According to this rule, electrons enter the orbitals (e.g. s, p
x
, p
y
, p
z
...) in the same sub-level in such
a way as to give maximum number of unpaired electrons. In other words it means that pairing begins
with the introduction of the fourth electron sixth electron in d subsheel and so on in p

subshell.
