OF - The neutrons
; = James Chadwick [1932]
| piscovery - Study of the atomic nucleus leading to discovery of - neutrons:
postulates of Chadwick's theory
". Since electrons have negligible mass, the mass of the atom i.e. atomic mass =
should be equal to the mass of the protons.
. However in the case of helium which has two protons in its nucleus ~
the atomic mass was not equal to the mass of the protons.
Conclusion
it was therefore proved that in the nucleus of the atom are present —
es which have no charge, but mass almost equal to the mass of the proton-
Thus the discovery in the atomic nucleus - of the neutron was initiated.
OF - Rotation of electrons around the nucleus
st - Bohr [1940]
~ Location & mode of rotation of electrons around the nucleus .
of Bohr’s atomic theory
9S revolve around the nucleus in - fixed ‘orbits’ called ‘energy levels’.
levels 1,23... are represented by - integer ‘n’ or as K, L, M, N...
rotate around the nucleus, in one or more of the energy levels.
of an atom — As per the modern atomic theory
