Study Plan for Atoms
Day 1–2: Learn the Theory
Study the chapter thoroughly. Note down definitions, formulas, and key concepts.
Day 3: Practice Problems
Solve practice questions and previous year KEAM problems. There are 243 questions available for this chapter.
Day 4: Revise & Test
Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.
What to Focus On
- Thomson's model proposed uniform distribution of positive charge
- Electrons were embedded in the positive charge like 'plums in pudding'
- Model failed to explain alpha-particle scattering results
- Most alpha particles pass through gold foil undeflected (empty space)
- Few particles scatter at various angles (small positive nucleus)
- Very few particles deflect by 180° (nucleus size ~1/8000 of atom)
- Emission spectra show bright lines on dark background
- Absorption spectra show dark lines on continuous background
- Hydrogen spectrum organized in spectral series
Common Mistakes to Avoid
In Rutherford's scattering experiment, most alpha particles are deflected because the positive charge is spread throughout the atom
Bohr's quantization condition mvr = nh/2π applies to all orbiting objects, including planets and satellites
Higher energy levels in hydrogen atom have more negative energy values
