Topics in Structure of Atom

1

Spectrum and Wave Nature of Light

  • Rainbow shows continuous spectrum with seven colors: VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red)
  • Light is an electromagnetic wave with speed c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
  • Electromagnetic waves are produced when electric charges vibrate
2

Bohr's Model and Its Limitations

  • Electrons occupy stationary orbits with fixed energy at different distances from nucleus
  • Electrons absorb energy to jump from lower to higher energy level (excited state)
  • Electrons emit energy when jumping from higher to lower energy level
3

Quantum Mechanical Model

  • Electrons don't follow definite paths around nucleus
  • Cannot measure position and velocity of electron simultaneously
  • Electrons exist in regions of space called orbitals
4

Quantum Numbers

  • Four quantum numbers: n, l, mₗ, mₛ
  • Principal quantum number (n): size and energy of main shell, values 1,2,3...
  • Angular momentum quantum number (l): shape of subshell, values 0 to n-1
