fun learning session?
 Dear Lord and Father of all,

Thank you for today. Thank you for ways in

which you provide for us all. For Your
protection and love we thank you. Help us to
focus our hearts and minds now on what we
are about to learn. Inspire us by Your Holy Spirit
as we listen and write. Guide us by your eternal
light as we discover more about the world
around us.

We ask all this in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

The atomic theory explains
In Science, matter
the nature of matter, which
refers to a substance states that matter is
that has mass and composed to tiny units
occupies space. Matter known as atoms. The
is everything around atomic theory has
us. All physical objects undergone several
variations and
are composed of
developments by various
matter. scientists over time.
 Around 400 BCE, the Greek

philosopher introduced the

idea of atom as the basic
building block of matter. He
named them atomos
meaning 'indivisible' or ‘not
to be cut’. As per him, atoms
are tiny, hard, and indivisible
particles moving around
randomly in matter
surrounded by empty
spaces.
In 1808, English chemist John Solid Sphere Model
Dalton proposed a theory of

atoms was based on actual John Dalton

observation. He incorporated
the concept of Elements into
the Atomic theory. (An
element is a pure substance
that is made from a single
type of atom. Examples of
elements include iron,
oxygen, hydrogen, gold, iron,
etc.)
Plum Pudding Model English physicist proposed the
plum pudding model of the atom

J.J. Thompson in 1904, after the discovery of

electrons in 1897. His model was
based on his findings that stated
that an atom has a positively
charged spherical structure in
which negatively charged
electrons are studded like fruits
in a plum pudding. He also said
that the amount of positive
charge of the sphere is equal to
the amount of negative charges
of the electrons.
In 1911, New Zealand-born Nuclear Model
physicist Ernest Rutherford did
an experiment to
test the plum
Ernest Rutherford
pudding model along with his
students Hans Geiger and Ernest
Marsden. They directed a beam
of alpha particles (a type of
positively charged radiation) at a
thin gold foil. Most of the
radiations passed through the
foil, a very few particles were
deflected by large angles, and
fewer came straight back off the
foil at 180 degrees.
Planetary Model In 1913, Neils Bohr proposed that
an atom is a system consisting of

Niels Bohr a small dense positively charged

nucleus surrounded by
negatively charged electrons
orbiting around it. This structure
is similar to the solar system. It
says that an electron revolves in
a definite circular orbit around
the nucleus that has a set size
and energy. Radiation is
absorbed or emitted when an
electron moves from one orbit to
another.
In 1926, Austrian physicist Erwin Quantum Model
Schrödinger (1887–1961) used the
wave-particle duality

of the electron
Erwin Schrodinger
to develop and solve a complex
mathematical equation that
accurately described the behavior of
the electron in a hydrogen atom. The
quantum mechanical model of the
atom comes from the solution to
Schrödinger’s equation. Quantization
of electron energies is a requirement
in order to solve the equation. This is
unlike the Bohr model, in which
quantization was simply assumed
with no mathematical basis.
MODERN ATOMIC THEORY

The modern atomic theory states that atoms of one element are the same, while atoms of
different elements are different. The fundamental characteristic that all the atoms of the
same element share are their number of protons. Some of the key concepts of the Modern
Atomic Theory are –
ATOMIC NUMBER – The number of protons in an atom of an element is its atomic
number. For e.g. the Atomic number of hydrogen element is 1, the Atomic Number of
carbon is 6 and the Atomic number of oxygen is 8.
MASS NUMBER – The sum total of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is
called the mass number of the atom. Usually, the number of electrons in an atom is the
same as the number of protons.
ATOMIC SYMBOLS – Every element has been given a symbol for the sake of simplifying
their representation. It consists of one or two letters abbreviated from their names, the
first letter is in the capital and the second in lower case. For example:
What is Electron
Configuration?

The electron configuration of an

atom is the representation of the
arrangement of electrons
distributed among the orbital
shells and subshells.
