32 ATOMIC STRUCTURE INTRODUCTION Jobn Dalton 1808, believed that matter is made up of extremely minute indivisible particles, called atom which takes part in chemical reactions. These particle can neither be created nor be destroyed. However, modem researches have conclusively proved that stom is no longer an indivisible particle. Modem structure of atom is based on Rutherford's scattering experiment, quantization of energy and ‘wave mechanical model. COMPOSITION OF ATOM ‘The works of J.J. Thomson and Emst Rutherford actually laid the foundation of the modem picture of the atom. It isnow verified that the atom consists of several sub-atomic particles like electron, proton, neutron, positron, neutrino, meson etc. Out of these particles, the electron, proton and the neutron are called fundamental subatomic particles. ELECTRON (_,e°, e) Electron was discovered by J.J. Thomson (1897) and itis a negatively charged particle» Cathode rays were discovered by William Crooke & J.J. Thomson using a cylindrical hard glass tube fitted with two metallic electrodes. This tube was known as discharge tube. They passed electricity (10,000V) through a discharge tube at very low pressure! Blue rays emerged from the cathode. These rays were termed as Cathode rays. Cataderays — Gmat low Discharge tube experiment for production of cathode rays Properties of Cathode rays @ Cathode rays travel in straight line, @ Cathode rays produce mechanical effect, as they can rotate the wheel placed in their path. (ii) Cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles known as electron. (@) Cathode rays travel with high speed. (¥) Cathode rays can cause fluorescence. (vi) Cathode rays heat the object on which they fall duc to transfer of kinetic energy to the object. (i) When cathode rays fall on heavy metals, X-rays are produced. (vill) Cathode rays possess ionizing power i.c., they ionize the gas through which they pass. (&)_—_Thecathode rays produce scintillation on the photographic plates. (x) Theycan penetrate through thin metallic sheets. (i) The nature of these rays does not depend upon the nature of gas or the cathode material used in discharge tube.

Similarly, fluorescent light tubes are also cathode rays, tubes coated inside with suitable materials which produce visible light on being hit with cathode rays. RS, Mullikan measured the charge on an electron by oil drop experiment. The charge on each electron is -1.602 x 10°C. ‘The specific charge (c/m) on electron was first determined by JJ, Thomson. efm= 1.758 x 10"!

(vi) The e/m ratio of these rays is smaller than that of electrons, (vii) Unlike cathode rays, their e/m value is dependent upon the nature of the gas taken in the tube. It is ‘maximum when gas present in the tube ishydrogen. (viii) These rays produce flashes of light on ZnS screen.

(B) 6. THOMSON'’S MODEL ‘After discovery of electron and proton atiettipts were made to find out their arrangement in an atom. The first simple model was proposed by J.J. Thomson known as Thomson's atomic model. He proposed that the positive chafge is spread over a sphere of the size of the atom (i.e. 10-* em radius) in which electrons are embedded to make the atom as whole neutral. This model could not explain the experimental results of Rutherfords a-particle scattering, therefore it was rejected. Pastner spend hmaghe fe ephae 7.

Properties of the Nucleus ‘Nucleus is a small, heavy, positively charged part of the atom and is located at the centre of the atom. Alll the positive charge of atom (i.e. protons) are present in nucleus. ‘Nucleus contains neutrons and protons, and hence these particles collectively are also referred to as nucleons. The size of nucleus is measured in Fermi (1 Fermi = 10"? cm = 10'S m).

It was observed thatthe frequency of a particular spectral line gradually increased with the increase of atomic mass ofthe element.

WAVE A.wave motion isa means of transferring energy from one point to another point without any actual transportation of matter between these points. When we throw a piece of stone on the surface of water ina pond, we observe circles of ever increasing radius, till they strike the wall of the pond. When we put apicce of cork on the surface of this water, we observe thal the cork moves up and down as the wave passes, but the piece does not travel along with the waves. The water waves carries the energy but there is no transfer of matter. Thus ina wave motion, disturbance travels through the medium, but the medium. does not travel along with the disturbance. ‘Some important terms related with wave motion. Crest ,,Wavelength ‘source ‘Trough @ Wave length (1): The distance between two adjacent crestor trough of the wave (or the distance between two similar neighbouring points) OR (@) Time period (1): Time for one complete oscillation of wave is called the period (1). ‘Time taken by the wave to travel a distance equal to one wavelength. If Cis the a speed of wave, then C= = 10.1 (il) Frequency (v): Number of oscillations per unit time is called frequency. c vee a (iv) Wave number (¥) : Number of wavelength per unit length. (¥) Amplitude (A): It is the height of crest or depth of a trough of a wave. Electromagnetic Wave : Light is also a type of wave which is known as electromagnetic wave i.e. wave consisting of oscillating clectric and magnetic field. ‘There are various types of electromagnetic waves (fadiation) which differs from one another in wavelengths eg. Visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, infra-red rays, radio waves etc. Characteristics of electromagnetic radiations: ® &) © 10.2 All electromagnetic waves move or travel with the same speed equal to that of light. They do not require any medium to propagate. These consist of electric and magnetic field that oscillate in the’ direction perpendicular to cach other and to the direction in which the wave propagates (as shown in above diagram) Electromagnetic Spectrum ‘Arrangement of various types of electromagnetic radiations in order oftheir increasing (or decreasing) ‘wavelengths or frequencies is known as electromagnetic spectrum. 2 increases ——————_—> SPECTRUM ‘When light coming from a source is dispersed by a prism, light of different wavelength are deviated through different angles and get separated.

These radiations when analysed with the help of spectroscope, spectral lines are obtained. A substance may be excited- By heating at a higher temperature. By passing electric current at a very low pressure in a discharge tube filled with a gas. By passing electric current into metallic filament. Emission spectra may be classified as : ‘Continuous spectrum : When sunlight is passed through a prism, it gets dispersed into continuous bands of different colours. If the light of an incandescent object is resolved through prism or spectroscope, it also gives continuous spectrum of colours. i oils Indra Coen prem cte Line spectrum : If the radiations obtained by the excitation of a substance are analysed with the help of a spectroscope, a series of thin bright lines of specific colours are obtained. There is dark space in between two consecutive lines. This type of spectrum is called line spectrum or atomic spectrum. For example on heating sodium chloride or any other salt of sodium in Bunsen flame bright yellow light is emitted. The emitted light when viewed through a spectroscope two isolated yellow line spared by dark space are obined. The wave lenge of these lines are S890A. and 5896A. Absorption spectrum ‘When the white light of an incandescent substance is passed through any other substance, this substance absorbs the radiations of certain wavelength from the white light. On analysing the transmitted light we obtain a spectrum in which dark lines of specific wave lengths are observed. ‘These lines constitute the absorption spectrum. The wave length of the dark lines correspond to the wavelength of light absorbed. MAXWELL THEORY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE Allthe radiations have wave nature which explains interference (linear superposition) and diffraction. ‘They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic field perpendicular to each other and tothe direction of Propagation. Al the radiations (radio waves, micro waves, infra red waves, visible, UV, X-rays, y-rays) travel at the speedoflight in vaccum. Energy of electromagnetic wave is proportional to amplitude and not linked with frequency of waves. 13. 4 Draw backs: This theory could not explain the following (a) Phenomenon of black body radiations (b)Photoelectriceffect _(c) Line spectra of atoms PLANCK'S QUANTUM THEORY According to this theory atoms or molecules could emit or absorb energy only in discrete quantities, (small packets) and notin any arbitrary amount.

PARTICLE AND WAVE NATURE OF ELECTRON: In 1924, de Broglie proposed that an electron, like light, behaves both as material particle and as a ‘wave. This proposal gave a new theory, known as wave mechanical theory of matter. According to this theory, the electrons, protons and even atoms, when in motion, posses wave properties. ‘dc Broglic derived an expression for calculating the wavelength of the wave associated with the clectron. ‘According to Planck's equation E=Ww=hy l) “The energy ofa photon on the basis of Einstein's mass-energy relationship is E=me cnn) where, c is the velocity of the electron.

WAVE MECHANICAL MODEL OF ATOM ‘The atomic model which is based on the particle and wave nature of the electron is known as wave mechanical model ofthe atom. This was developed by Erwin Schrodinger in 1926. This model describes the electron asa three-dimensional wave in the electronic field of positively charged nucleus. Schrodinger ‘derived an equation which described wave motion of an electron. The differential equation is : fy 4 dy ey Sx'm ax? dy? de? a? (E-V)y=0 Where x,y and z are cartesian coordinates of the electron; m = mass of the electron; E=total energy of the electron; V= potential energy of the electron; h = Planck's constant and (psi) = wave function of the electron. Significance of y : The wave function may be regarded as the amplitude function expressed in terms of ‘coordinates x, y and z. The wave function may have positive or negative values depending upon the values of coordinates. ‘The main aim of Schrodinger equation is to give a solution for the probability approach. When the equation is solved, itis observed that for some regions of space, the valuc of y is positive and for other regions the value of y is negative. But the probability must be always positive and cannot be negative. It is, thus, properto use y” in favour of y. Significance of y*: yisa probability factor. It describes the probability of finding an clectron within a small space. The space in which there is maximum probability of finding an electron is termed as orbital. “The important point ofthe solution ofthis equation is that it provides a set of number, called quantum numbers, which describe energies of the electrons in atoms, information about the shapes and orientations of the most probable distribution of electron around the nucleus. ‘Wave function y can be plotted against distance ‘r” from nucleus 2s, Forhydrogen wave function, number of nodes can be calculated as, (i) Number of radial nodes = (n—/—1) (i) Number of angular nodes = / (Gi) Total number of nodes = (n-1), 1,/=0, it will have no radial or angular node it will have only one radial node (iv) For 2p-orbital, (¥)For 3p-orbital, n= 3,1= 1, itwill have one radial and one angular node ‘Solution of Schrodinger wave equation : In spherical co-ordinates w(x, y,z) is represented by y (r, 8, @) such that complete wave function can begivenas Shy RO cee us Radial part Angular part Dependance of the wave function on quantum number can be given as, Yim (6.0.4) =Rys (0) Om 4) Ou (4) ‘The function R depend only on , therefore they describe the distribution of the electronas a function of + from the nucleus.

Except to these quantum numbers, one additional quantum number designated as spin quantum number, which specify the spin of electron in an orbital. Each orbital in an atom is specified by a set of three quantum numbers and each electron is designated by a set of four quantum numbers.

The shape of this region (electron cloud) gives the shape of the orbital. It is basically determined by the azimuthal quantum number /, while the orientation of orbital depends on the magnetic quantum number (m). s-orbital (I= 0) : These orbitals are spherical and symmetrical about the nucleus. The probability of finding the electron is maximum near the nucleus and keeps on decreasing as the distance from the nucleus increases. There is vacant space between two successive s-orbitals known as radial node. But there is no radial node for 1s orbital since itis starting from the nucleus. The size of the orbital depends upon the value of principal quantum number (n). Greater the value of n, larger is the size of the orbital. Therefore, 2s-orbital is larger than 1s orbital but both of them are non-directional and spherically symmetrical in shape. P-orbital (J = 1): The probability of finding the p-clectron is maximuim in tW® lobes on the opposite sides of the nucleus. This gives rise to a dumb-bell shape for the p-orbital. For p-orbital / = 1. Hence, m= -1, 0, +1. Thus, p-orbital have three different 6rientations. These are designated as Py» Py & P, depending upon whether the density of clectron is, maximum along the x y and z axis respectively. As they are not spherically symmetrical, they have directional character. The two lobes of p-orbitals are separated by.a.nddal planeywhere the probability of finding electron is zero. The three p-orbitals belonging'to a paflicular energy shell have equal energies and are called degenerite orbitals. d-orbital (= 2): For d-orbitals, ] = 2. Hence m = -2,-1, 0, +1, +2. Thus there are 5d orbitals. They have relatively complex geometry. Out of the five orbitals, the three (4, d,,,.d,,) project in between the axis and the othertwo d,, and 4):_,: liealong the axis. ‘Spherical nodes : The spherical surface where probability of finding the clectron is zero, is called fical nodes. spherical No. of spherical nodes in any orbital =n—!—1 ‘Nodal Plane : This isa plane passing through the nucleus where the probability of finding the electron iszero. ‘Number of nodal plane in a orbital = £ 21. 24 o @ 21.2 ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION ‘The distribution of electrons in different orbitals of atom is known 2s electronic configuration of the atoms.

According to this principle, "Inthe ground state the atomic orbitals are filled in order of increasing. energies i. in the ground state the electrons first occupy the lowest energy orbitals available”.
