Introduction to Semiconductors, Electronics, Electronic Devices and
Electromechanical Systems: The Atom

• At first: An atom was considered to be a tiny indivisible sphere.

• Later on: An atom found out to be composed up of electrons,
revolving in orbits around the nucleus having protons and neutrons.
• Each element has unique atomic structure.
• 2 Atomic Models:
1. Bohr’s Atomic Model
2. Quantum Model

Electromechanical Systems: Bohr’s and Quantum Model
