VARIOUS MODELS FOR STRUCTURE OF ATOM

Dalton's Theory
Every material is composed of minute particles known as atom. Atom is indivisible i.e. it cannot be subdivided. It can neither be created
nor be destroyed.
All atoms of same element are identical physically as well as chemically, whereas atoms of different elements are different in properties.
The atoms of different elements are made up of hydrogen atoms. (The radius of the heaviest atom is about 10 times that of hydrogen
atom and its mass is about 250 times that of hydrogen).
The atom is stable and electrically neutral.
Thomson's Atom Model: Thomson gave the first idea regarding structure of atom. According to this model.
(i) An atom is a solid sphere in which entire and positive charge and it's mass is uniformly distributed and in which negative
charge (i.e. electron) are embedded like seeds in watermelon.
The positive charge and the whole mass of the atom is uniformly distributed throughout the sphere.

spectrum of hydrogen and other atoms.
Shortcomings of Thomson's model

(ii) Some of them are deflected through small angles.
(iii) A few -particles (1 in 1000) are deflected through the angle more than 90 o.
(iv) A few -particles (very few) returned back i.e. deflected by 180o.
(v) Distance of closest approach (Nuclear dimension)
The minimum distance from the nucleus up to which the -particle approach, is called the distance of closest approach (r0).

After Rutherford's scattering of -particles experiment, following conclusions were made as regard as atomic structure :
(a) Most of the mass and all of the charge of an atom concentrated in a very small region is called atomic nucleus.
(b) Nucleus is positively charged and it's size is of the order of 1015 m 1 Fermi. Atom
(c) In an atom there is maximum empty space and the electrons revolve around the Nucleus
nucleus in the same way as the planets revolve around the sun. +

the nucleus when it is far away from the nucleus is known as impact parameter. It is given as

Draw backs
(i) Stability of atom : It could not explain stability of atom because according to
classical electrodynamics theory an accelerated charged particle should continuously
radiate energy. Thus an electron moving in an circular path around the nucleus should e
also radiate energy and thus move into smaller and smaller orbits of gradually decreasing
radius and it should ultimately fall into nucleus.
(ii) According to this model the spectrum of atom must be continuous where as practically
it is a line spectrum.
(iii) It did not explain the distribution of electrons outside the nucleus. Instability of atom

(3) Bohr's model
Bohr proposed a model for hydrogen atom which is also applicable for some lighter atoms in which a single electron revolves
around a stationary nucleus of positive charge Ze (called hydrogen like atom)
Bohr's model is based on the following postulates.
(i) The electron can revolve only in certain discrete non-radiating orbits, called stationary orbits, for which total angular
h
momentum of the revolving electrons is an integral multiple of ( )
2
h
i.e. L n mvr; where n = 1, 2, 3, ..= Principal quantum number
2
(ii) The radiation of energy occurs only when an electron jumps from one permitted orbit to another.
When electron jumps from higher energy orbit (E1) to lower energy orbit (E2) then difference of energies of these orbits
i.e. E1 E2 emits in the form of photon. But if electron goes from E2 to E1 it absorbs the same amount of energy.

(v) Excitation energy and potential : When the electron is given energy from external source, it jumps to higher energy
level. This phenomenon is called excitation.
The minimum energy required to excite an atom is called excitation energy of the particular excited state and corresponding
potential is called exciting potential.

(vi) Binding energy (B.E.) : Binding energy of a system is defined as the energy released when it's constituents are brought
from infinity to form the system. It may also be defined as the energy needed to separate it's constituents to large distances. If
an electron and a proton are initially at rest and brought from large distances to form a hydrogen atom, 13.6 eV energy will
be released. The binding energy of a hydrogen atom is therefore 13.6 eV.

Note : In hydrogen atom excitation energy to excite electron from ground state to first excited state will be
3.4 (13.6) 10.2 eV .
and from ground state to second excited state it is [ 1.51 (13.6) 12.09 eV ].
In an H 2 atom when e makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state its kinetic energy increases while
potential and total energy decreases.

(6) Transition of electron
When an electron makes transition from higher energy level having energy E2(n2) to a lower energy level having energy E1
(n1) then a photon of frequency is emitted

the number of absorption spectral lines will be (n 1).

(7) Drawbacks of Bohr's atomic model
(i) It is valid only for one electron atoms, e.g. : H, He+, Li+2, Na+1 etc.
(ii) Orbits were taken as circular but according to Sommerfield these are elliptical.
(iii) Intensity of spectral lines could not be explained.
(iv) Nucleus was taken as stationary but it also rotates on its own axis.
(v) It could not be explained the minute structure in spectrum line.
(vi) This does not explain the Zeeman effect (splitting up of spectral lines in magnetic field) and Stark effect (splitting up in
electric field)
(vii) This does not explain the doublets in the spectrum of some of the atoms like sodium (5890 & 5896)
Hydrogen Spectrum and Spectral Series:

When hydrogen atom is excited, it returns to its normal unexcited (or ground state) state by emitting the energy it had
absorbed earlier. This energy is given out by the atom in the form of radiations of different wavelengths as the electron jumps
down from a higher to a lower orbit. Transition from different orbits cause different wavelengths, these constitute spectral
series which are characteristic of the atom emitting them. When observed through a spectroscope, these radiations are
imaged as sharp and straight vertical lines of a single colour.

The spectral lines arising from the transition of electron forms a spectra series.
(i) Mainly there are five series and each series is named after it's discover as Lymen series, Balmer series, Paschen series,

Atomic spectrum is a line spectrum
Each atom has it's own characteristic allowed orbits depending upon the electronic configuration. Therefore photons emitted
during transition of electrons from one allowed orbit to inner allowed orbit are of some definite energy only. They do not
have a continuous graduation of energy. Therefore the spectrum of the emitted light has only some definite lines and
therefore atomic spectrum is line spectrum.
Just as dots of light of only three colours combine to form almost every conceivable colour on T.V. screen, only about 100 distinct
kinds of atoms combine to form all the materials in the universe.
