Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Based on this work and his own experimentations, John Dalton developed an atomic theory:
1. Each element is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
2. The atoms of a given elements are identical; atoms of the different elements are different.
3. Chemical compounds are formed when atoms combine with each other; a given compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms.
4. Chemical reactions involve reorganization of the atoms, changes in way they are bound together. The atoms themselves are not changed in a chemical reaction.

Thomson Atomic Model (1903)
Thomson discovered the electron through his work on cathode rays.

Thomson postulated that:
The –ve particles (electrons) were distributed in a uniform sea of positive charge; this was the
plum pudding model as the electrons were embedded in the positive charge like plums in a plum pudding.
The Plum Pudding Model of the Atom
5
Rutherford Atomic Model (1911)
To test Thomson model, he made the gold foil experiment.
According to Thomson's model the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Then, if he shot high velocity alpha particles (helium nuclei) at an atom then the alpha particles will be deflected very little.

The Bohr's Theory
Just like Rutherford he assumed that electrons rotate around the nucleus, but with the consideration of some ideas.
1. An atom consists of a small, heavily positively charged nucleus around which electrons revolve in definite circular paths called orbits.
2. These orbits are associated with definite energies. These orbits are stable and called "stationary" orbits.
3. As long as the electron remains in a particular orbit its energy remains constant.
4. Each emission or absorption of radiation energy represents the electron transition from one stationary orbit to another.

12Quantum Numbers
Describe the properties of the atomic orbitals and the electrons
1-principle quantum number 2-Secondary quantum number
3-Magnetic quantum number 4-Spin quantum number
12
Principle quantum number (n)
- It is integral values: n = 1,2,3,4,…∞
-The average distance of the electron from the nucleus.
- Greater n is greater the average
distance , greater energy, larger the orbital.

Table of Allowed Quantum Numbers

Rules Governing the Allowed Combinations of Quantum Numbers
The three quantum numbers (n, l, and m) that describe an orbital are integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
The principal quantum number (n) cannot be zero. The allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
The angular quantum number (l) can be any integer between 0 and n - 1. If n = 3, for example, l can be either 0, 1, or 2. For any n there are n values of l (the
orbits or sub-shells).
The magnetic quantum number (m) can be any integer between -l and +l. If l = 2, m can be either -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2. For any l there are (2l+1) values of m
(orbitals).
The spin quantum number (s) takes only two values which are +1/2 or -1/2, and any orbital can be occupied by maximum of two electrons of opposite spin.

Build-up of the elements and electronic configuration
Aufbau Principle
The electrons occupy the lowest possible energy levels.
In other words, orbitals are filled so that those of the lowest
energy are filled first.

Sequence of the energy Levels
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p,
6s, 4f, 5d, 6p and so on.
22
23Pauli Exclusion Principle
According to Pauli Exclusion Principle, each orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons provided
they have opposite spins.
Hund’s Rule
According to Hund’s rule, when we come to orbitals of equal energy such as the three p orbitals, we add single
electron to each orbital with spins unpaired until each
orbital contains one electron. Then, we make pairing.
