Atomic Structure John Dalton-Rutherford-J.J. Thomson- Atomic Model
Atomic Structure
The word atom originally meant a smallest possible particle of matter, not further
divisible.
Democritus
1. The existence of atoms was proposed as early as in the 5th century BC by the
Greek
philosophers Leucippus and his pupil Democritus, for which they were called
atomists.
2. Democritus, develop the idea of atoms. He asked this question: If you break a
piece of matter in half, and then break it in half again, how many breaks will you
have to make before you can break it no further?
3. Democritus thought that it ended at some point, a smallest possible bit of matter.
He called these basic matter particles, atoms.
4.The word "atom" is derived from the Greek word "atomos", which means
indivisible".
John Dalton
1. Five main points of Dalton's Atomic Theory
• All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
• All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass, and
chemical
properties. Atoms of a specific element are different from those of any other
element.
• Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, or destroyed.
• Different atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.
• In a chemical reaction, atoms are separated, combined, or rearranged.
Weakness
1. Atoms consist of even smaller particles called electrons, protons and neutrons.
2. Atoms can be created and destroyed in the nuclear reactions such as nuclear
fusion and nuclear fission.
Atoms of the same element can have different physical properties, for example,
isotopes of hydrogen.
J.J. Thomson Plum pudding model
1. In physics, the Plum pudding model of the atom was made after the discovery of
the electron and was proposed by the discoverer of the electron, J. J. Thomson.
2. In it, the atom is envisioned as electrons surrounded by a soup of positive charge,
like plums surrounded by pudding.
3. The electrons were positioned uniformly throughout the atom.
4. Instead of a soup, the model is also said to have had a cloud of positive charge.
5. This model can be compared to a British treat called plum pudding, hence the
name. It is alsoknown as the chocolate chip cookie model.
Ernest Rutherford Gold foil experiment
The Gold foil experiment, or Geiger-Marsden experiment was an experiment done
by Hans
Geiger and Ernest Marsden in 1909, under the direction of Ernest Rutherford at the
Physical
Laboratories of the University of Manchester which led to the downfall of the plum
pudding modelof the atom.
1. They measured the deflection of alpha particles directed normally onto a sheet of
very thin gold foil.
2. Under the prevailing plum pudding model, the alpha particles should all have
been deflected by at most of a few degrees.
3. However they observed that a very small percentage of particles were deflected
through angles much larger than 90 degrees.
4. From this Rutherford concluded that the atom contained a very small positive
charge which could repel the alpha particles if they came close enough.
Rutherford Atom
1. Early in 1911 Rutherford published a revised model of the atom, known as the
Rutherford atom.
2. He concluded that
• the atom is mostly empty space,
• most of the atom's mass concentrated in a tiny center, the nucleus and electrons
being held
in orbit around it by electrostatic attraction.
• The nucleus was around 10-15 meters in diameter, in the centre of a 10-10 metre
diameter atom.
• Those alpha particles that had come into close proximity with the nucleus had
been strongly
Model: Solar System Model (Bohr’s Model)
1. Niels Bohr improved on Rutherford's atomic model.
2. Bohr model depicts the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded
by electrons in orbit - similar in structure to the solar system, but with electrostatic
forces providing attraction, rather than gravity.
3. According to Bohr’s Model
• Electrons in an atom of an element are not randomly distributed around the
atomic nucleus.
• Electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits.• Each orbit forms a circle and
has a fixed distance from the nucleus.
James Chadwick’s Model
In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded beryllium (Be) with alpha aprticles. He
allowed the radiation emitted by beryllium to incident on a paraffin wax. It was
found that protons were shot out form the paraffin wax. People began to look for
what was in the "beryllium radiations". 1. Chadwick discovered the presence of
neutrons in the nucleus.
2. He concluded that the nucleus contains another tiny particle known as a neutron
that has nocharge.
3. The neutron mass is almost similar to the proton mass.
4. All nuclei contain protons and neutrons, except for the hydrogen which contains
protons. only
Modern Atomic Model
1. The atomic model in the present day is based on the contributions of the above
scientists.
2. According to the modern atomic model,
(a) The central nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. It containing almost all
the mass of the atom.
(b) the nucleus of an atom is very small compared to the size of the atom
(c) the electrons are orbiting outside the nucleus in the electron shells(d) the
electrons are moving in electron shells at a very high speed and we cannot
determine theposition of the electrons at a particular time
The subatomic particles of an atom
1. Atoms are made up of tiny particles called subatomic particles.
2. An atom contains three types of subatomic particles:a. proton,b. neutron andc.
electron,
3. The proton and neutron form the nucleus at the centre of an atom.
4. The electron moves around the nucleus at a very high speed.
5. The nucleus is positively charged because of the presence of protons, which are
positivelycharged. The neutrons are neutral.
Proton number and nucleon number
Proton Number
1. The proton number (Z) represent the number of protons found in the nucleus of
an atom.
Proton number = the number of protons
2. The proton number is also known as the atomic number.
3. In an atom of neutral charge, the number of electrons also equals the atomic
number.
4. Hence, the proton number of an atom can also represent the number of
electrons.
Nucleon Number
1. The nucleon number (A), also called atomic mass number or mass number, is the
number ofprotons plus the number of neutrons in an atomic nucleus.
Nucleon number = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons
The nucleon number of an atom is about the same as the mass of the atom because
the mass of anelectron is very small and can be ignored.Continued>>>>>>>>>>Read more to excelIX Atomic Structure ( a fundamental particles) Discovery of Electron

9th chemistry Self-evaluation on Mole conceptSample Problem 1. Calculate the number of mole in 52 g of Helium.
Solution. We know that, Atomic mass of He = 4u
So, its molar mass = 4 g That is, 4 g of He contains 1 mole of He.
Or, 4 g of He = 1 mole of He
Or, 1 g of He = 1/4 mole of He
So, 52 grams of Helium =1/4 x 52 mole = 13 moles
Therefore, there are 13 moles in 52 g of He
Sample Problem 2. Calculate the number of moles for 12.044 X 1023 atoms of
Helium.
Solution:
6.022 X 1023 atoms of Helium = 1 mole
1 atom of Helium =1/6.022 X 1023 mole
12.044 X 1023 atoms of Helium = [(1/6.022 X 1023) x 12.044 X 1023 ]moles
[ You may use ---- Number of moles = (given numbers of particles

Sample Problem 3. How many moles are there in 5 grams of calcium?
Sample Problem 4. How many moles there in 12.044 X 1023 atoms of
phosphorous?
Sample Problem 5. Calculate the mass of 0.5 mole of Nitrogen atoms.
Solution. We know that, Molar mass of of Nitrogen atoms 14 g
The mass of 1 mole of Nitrogen atoms = 14 g
The mass of 0.5 mole of Nitrogen atoms = 14x 0.5 g = 7 g
Alternate method,
Mass = Number of moles X Molar mass
Or, = 0.5 X 14 = 7 g
Therefore, mass of 0.5 mole of N atoms is 7 grams.

Science Questions - Ponder over it?
1. Why does a rider feel a tendency to fall when the horse starts running of
stops suddenly?
Ans: This is caused by inertia. When the horse starts running, the rider, being at
rest, falls back. When a running horse stops suddenly, the rider being in motion has
a tendency to fall ahead.
2. Why does a person carrying a bucket full of water in his right hand bend
towards the left?
Ans: He bends towards his left so that the centre of gravity falls within the base.
This enables him to keep up balance, otherwise he may fall.
3. Why does tea cool more rapidly in a saucer than in a cup?
Ans: In a saucer evaporation takes place more rapidly than in a cup. Cooling is
caused by evaporation.
4. Ice packed in sawdust does not melt quickly. Why?
Ans: Ice packed in sawdust does not melt quickly, because sawdust being bad
conductor, it cuts the heat rays.
5. Why do you heat a metal rim before fitting it to a wheel?
Ans: By heating, the rim expands and fits easily over a slightly bigger radius than
that of the rim. On being cooled it contracts and has a firm grip on the wheel.
6. Why do wet clothes dry slowly on a rainy day?
Ans: On a rainy day the atmosphere air contains more water vapor than on a dry
day and hence evaporation is slower.
7. Why does a substance thrown up come to the ground?
Ans: Because of the gravitational force of the earth.
8. Why does moisture gather outside of a glass of cold water on a warm
day?
Ans: The temperature of the outer surface of glass of cold water is lower than that of
its surroundings. The vapor in the surrounding atmosphere gets condensed on
the outer surfaceof the water appears in the forms of tiny particles of water.
9. What happens to iron when it rusts?
Ans: It reacts with the oxygen of the air and forms iron-oxide which is the rust.
10. How would you distinguish between welding and soldering?
Ans: Welding is the joining of metals by raising the temperature of the metals to
fuse them together by melting their ends. Soldering is the joining of metals with the
help of an alloy called solder.
11. How does a ball which falls down, bounce up?
It is due to the operation of Newton’s Third Law of motion. To every action there is
equal and opposite reaction. A ball falling to the ground is slightly deformed. Due to
the elastic force of the material of which the ball is made, the ball tries to recover its
original shape. In doing so it forces the ground which pushes the ball upward due to
reaction and the ball bounces up.
12. An iron nail floats on mercury but sinks in water. Give reasons.
Ans: The specific density of iron is lower than of mercury, hence it floats on
mercury, while it is higher than that of water, and hence it sinks in water.
13. How do you convert Centigrade in to Fahrenheit?
Ans: With the help of the following formula – C/100 = F-32/180
14. It is advisable to work electric appliances when they are earthed
suitably. Why?
Ans: In case of short-circuiting, the current passes to the earth without harming the
user, if an electrical appliance is properly earthed.
15. How does a refrigerator keep food fresh?
Ans: Food is kept fresh so long as fermentation does not set in; refrigeration
prevents fermentation by providing low temperature.
16. Ice wrapped in a blanket does not melt away quickly. Why?
Ans: Blanket being bad conductor of heat prevents the outside heat from creeping
inside.
17. Why can a petrol fire not be extinguished by throwing water on it?
Ans: The heat of the petrol fire is so intense that the water thrown on it gets
evaporated and decomposed. Hence it is not effective in extinguishing the petrol
fire.
18. A train stops when the chain is pulled. Why?
Ans: When the chain is pulled, one small valve gets opened and air/atmospheric
pressure is admitted to the under side of the piston head of the brake cylinder
through pipe connection. Initially there is vacuum on both top and bottom side of the
piston head. When the air/atmospheric pressure enters the under side of the
piston head, the piston raises up due to difference of pressure and pulls the brake
rigging to which it is connected with links and levers. Thus the brakes are applied
and the train stops.

Salt - The Spice of Life
Salt - The Spice of Life: For every meal there is one thing people generally reach
for before they even take a bite – the salt shaker. Salt is one of the oldest spices
used and is a key component to humans, animals, and plants.
Its flavor is unique and versatile, salt has been a staple throughout time. Enhancing
almost every dish, salt is added to breads, meats, fruits and vegetables to sauces
and desserts.
Additionally, salt aids foods in a variety of ways like:
Preservation – helps protect against microorganisms, bacteria through dehydration
and preventing growth of bacteria, which slows or prevents spoilage.
Texture Aid – in bread making, allows the dough to rise by giving helping the gluten
hold more water and carbon dioxide. In meats it improves tenderness and in cheeses
it aids in consistency of the cheese and the hardness of the rind.
Binder – in processed meats it helps retain water which reduces the loss of meat
when cooking.
Color Developer – in ham, bacon, and other processed meats it helps obtain the
desired color. It also helps create a golden crust for breads.
Fermentation Control – slows and controls the fermentation process in:
Pickling
Cheese production Sauerkraut production Summer sausage production

Why aqueous solution of sodium carbonate is basic in nature?Question: Why aqueous solution of sodium carbonate is basic in nature?
Ans: Sodium bicarbonate is an amphoteric compound. Aqueous solutions are
mildly alkalinedue to the formation of carbonic acid and hydroxide ion:
NaHCO− 3 + H2O → H2CO3 + OH−
Question: Why is an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride acidic in
nature?
A basic component is the one that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions when
dissolved in water. In aqueous solution of ammonium chloride, ammonium
ions (NH4+) first associate with H2O and form ammonia and hydroxide ions.
NH4Cl + H2O = NH4+ + HCl ( equation 1)
NH4+ + H2O = NH3 + OH- (equation 3)
Since ammonium ions produce hydroxide ions, NH4+ are considered to be
the basic components.

cbse Chemisrty Amazing Facts
Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 1. It is
highly flammable and
is the most common element found in our universe. Morehydrogen facts.
Liquid nitrogen boils at 77 kelvin (−196 °C, −321 °F). More nitrogen facts.
Around 1% of the sun’s mass is oxygen. More oxygen facts.
Helium is lighter than the air around us so it floats, that's why it is perfect for
the balloons you get at parties. More helium facts.
Carbon comes in a number of different forms (allotropes), these include diamond,
graphite and impure forms such as coal. More carbon facts, diamond facts, and coal
facts.
Although it is still debated, it is largely recognized that the word 'chemistry' comes from
an Egyptian word meaning 'earth'.
The use of various forms of chemistry is believed to go back as long ago as the
Ancient Egyptians. By 1000 BC civilizations were using more complex forms of
chemistry such as using plants for medicine, extracting metal from ores, fermenting
wine and making cosmetics.
Things invisible to the human eye can often be seen under UV light, which comes in
handy for both scientists and detectives.
Humans breathe out carbon dioxide (CO2). Using energy from sunlight, plantsconvert
carbon dioxide into food during a process called photosynthesis.
Chemical reactions occur all the time, including through everyday activities such as
cooking. Try adding an acid such as vinegar to a base such as baking soda and see
what happens!
Above 4 °C, water expands when heated and contracts when cooled. But between 4
°C and 0 °C it does the opposite, contracting when heated and expanding when
cooled. Stronger hydrogen and oxygen bonds are formed as the water crystallizes into
ice. By the time it's frozen it takes up around 9% more space.
Often formed under intense pressure over time, a crystal is made up of molecules or
atoms that are repeated in a three dimensional repeating pattern. Quartz is a well
known example of a crystal.
Athletes at the Olympic Games have to be careful how much coffee they drink. The
caffeine in coffee is a banned substance because it can enhance performance. One or
two cups are fine but they can go over the limit with more than five. (update - as of
2004 caffeine has been taken back off the WADA banned list but its use will be closely
monitored to prevent future abuse by athletes.)
Hydrogen Facts
The chemical symbol of hydrogen is H. It is an element with atomic number 1, this
means that 1 proton is found in the nucleus of hydrogen.
Hydrogen is the lightest, simplest and most commonly found chemical element in the
Universe, making up around 75% of its elemental mass.
Hydrogen is found in large amounts in giant gas planets and stars, it plays a key role
in powering stars through fusion reactions.
Hydrogen is one of two important elements found in water (H2O). Each molecule of
water is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
In 1766, during an acid metal reaction, Henry Cavendish first formally recognized
hydrogen. In 1781 he also found that hydrogen produces water when burned. While
Cavendish is usually given credit for the discovery of hydrogen as an element, it had
been produced by earlier scientists who were unaware of hydrogen as a unique
chemical element.
It wasn’t until a few years later (1783) that hydrogen was given its name. The word
hydrogen comes from the Greek word hydro (meaning water) and genes (meaning
creator).
Hydrogen gas has the molecular formula H2. At room temperature and under standard
pressure conditions, hydrogen is a gas that is tasteless, odorless and colorless.
Hydrogen can exist as a liquid under high pressure and an extremely low temperature
of 20.28 kelvin (−252.87°C, −423.17 °F). Hydrogen is often stored in this way as liquid
hydrogen takes up less space than hydrogen in its normal gas form. Liquid hydrogen
is also used as a rocket fuel.
Under extreme compression hydrogen can also make a transition to a state known as
metallic hydrogen. Laboratory research into this area is ongoing as scientists continue
efforts to produce metallic hydrogen at low temperature and static compression
Nitrogen Facts
Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number of 7.
Under normal conditions nitrogen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Nitrogen makes up around 78% of the air you breathe.
Nitrogen is present in all living things, including the human body and plants.
Nitrogen gas is used in food storage to keep packaged or bulk foods fresh. It is also
used in the making of electronic parts, for industrial purposes and has many other
useful applications.
Nitrogen gas is often used as an alternative to carbon dioxide for storing beer in
pressurized kegs. The smaller bubbles it produces is preferred for some types of
beer.
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has an atmosphere nearly entirely made of nitrogen
(over 98%). It is the only moon in our solar system known to have a dense
atmosphere.
Nitrogen is in a liquid state when at a very low temperature. Liquid nitrogen boils at 77
kelvin (−196 °C, −321 °F). It is easily transported and has many useful applications
including storing items at cold temperatures, in the field of cryogenics (how materials
behave at very low temperatures), as a computer coolant (a fluid used to prevent
overheating), removing warts and much more.
Decompression sickness (also known as the bends) involves nitrogen bubbles forming
in the bloodstream and other important areas of the body when people depressurize
too quickly from scuba diving. Similar situations can occur for astronauts and those
working in unpressurized aircraft.
Nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas or by its chemical formula N2O) is used in
hospitals and dental clinics as an anesthetic (removing or reducing pain and general
awareness for various surgeries).
Nitrous oxide is also used in motor racing to increase the power of engine and speed
of the vehicle. When used for this purpose it is often referred to as nitrous or NOS.
Nitrous oxide is a considerable greenhouse gas and air pollutant. By weight is has
nearly 300 times more impact than carbon dioxide.
Nitroglycerin is a liquid used to create explosives such as dynamite. It is often used in
the demolition and construction industries as well as by the military.
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong acid often used in the production of fertilizers.
Ammonia (NH3) is another nitrogen compound commonly used in fertilizers.
Oxygen Facts
Oxygen is an element with the chemical symbol O and atomic number 8.
Oxygen is a very reactive element that easily forms compounds such as oxides.
Under standard temperature and pressure conditions two oxygen atoms join to form
dioxygen (O2), a colorless, tasteless and odorless gas.
Oxygen is essential to human life, it is found in the air we breathe and the water we
drink (H20).
Oxygen makes up around 21% of the air you breathe. It is also the most common
element in the Earth’s crust (around 47%) and the third most common element in the
Universe (but far less than hydrogen and helium, the two most common).
The large amount of oxygen on Earth is supported by the oxygen cycle which involves
the movement of oxygen between the air, living things and the Earth’s crust.
Photosynthesis (a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds using
sunlight) plays a major role in this cycle.
Ozone (O3) is an allotrope (different form) of oxygen that combines three oxygen
atoms together. While ground level ozone is an air pollutant, the ozone layer in the
Earth’s upper atmosphere provides protection from the suns harmful rays by filtering
UV light.
The sun’s mass is made up of around 1% oxygen.
Between 1770 and 1780, Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele, British
clergyman Joseph Priestley and French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier
researched, documented and helped discover oxygen. The name oxygen was first
used by Lavoisier in 1777.
Oxygen therapy is used as a common medical treatment. You may have seen patients
on TV or in real life using an oxygen mask or nasal cannula (a plastic tube that fits
behind the ears and delivers oxygen through the nostrils).
Oxygen has a number of other practical uses such as smelting metal from ore, water
treatment, as an oxidizer for rocket fuel and a number of other industrial, chemical and
scientific applications.
Concentrated oxygen promotes fast combustion. While a spark or heat is still needed
to start a fire, having concentrated oxygen near various fuels can be very dangerou
