Concept of Nuclear Atom
‘Anatom is the smallest particle of matter which takes part
in chemical combination and is made up of smaller particles
like electrons, protons, neutrons etc. At present, about
35 different subatomic particles are known but the three
particles namely electron, proton and neutron are regarded
as the fundamental particles.
Electron, proton and neutron
Electron is the fundamental particle of an atom having one
unit—ve charge equal to — 1.6 x 107! coulomb and negligible
mass of 9.1 x 108 g.
Proton is the fundamental particle of an atom having one
unit +ve charge equal to +1.6 x 1071? coulomb and mass of
1.67 x 104 g.
Neutron is the fundamental particle of an atom having no
charge and mass equal to 1.675 x 10 g
Atomic number (Z) and mass number (A)
Atomic number of an element is the number of positive
charges (or the number of protons, p) present in the nucleus
of the atom.
Since the atom as a whole is electrically neutral, therefore
the number of positively charged particles, i.e., protons
present in the atom must be equal to the number of negatively
charged particles, ‘c., electrons present in it
Atomic number of an element (Z) = Total number of protons
present in the nucleus = Total number of electrons present
in the atom.
Z=p=e
‘mass number of an element is the sum of the protons (p) and
neutrons (n) in the nucleus of an atom.

Rutherford’s Model of Atom
From q-ray scattering experiment Rutherford observed that’
‘© Most of the a-particles passed through the gold foil
undeflected,
‘© Some a-particles were deflected at wide angles,
@ Avery few (one in about 10°) were deflecteyp
in their own path. tan,
On the basis ofthese observations, Rutherford pu
his nuclear model of atom. According to which
‘Atom is spherical and consists of two,
cextranuclear part. Parmley

Dual Behaviour of Matter

behaves both as a material and as a wave. This proposal
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
According to this principle, it is impossible to measure
simultaneously the position and momentum of a small
particle with absolute accuracy or uncertainty,
‘The product of the uncertainty in the position (Ax) and the
uncertainty in the momentum (Ap =m - Av) where m is the
‘mass of the particle and Av as the uncertainty in velocity is
always constant and is equal to or greater than hi4, where
‘his Planck’s constant, ie., Ax Ap > h/4r
Atomic Orbital
The three dimensional space around the nucleus within
which the probability of finding an electron of given energy
is maximum, is called atomic orbital.
Atomic orbital is the spatial description of the motion of
an electron corresponding to a particular energy level. The
energy of electron in an atomic orbital is always the same.
‘Shapes of atomic orbitals
Shape of an orbital is given by total probability density
‘y? including both radial part as well as angular part.
Shape of s-orbital : Shape of
s-orbital must be spherical since
probability of finding electron is
equal in all directions at a distance
from nucleus.
Shape of p-orbital : The probability
of finding p-electron is maximum
in two dumb-bell type lobes on the
two opposite sides of nucleus. Thus,
porbital has dumb-bell shape.
In the three p-orbitals, p,. p, and p. the probability lies
maximum along x-axis, y-axis an;
