Atom

Unique Smallest Indivisible

 • Watermelon Model
✓ Non-Uniform electron
Distribution.
J.J. ✓ Uniform Mass Distribution.
Thomson • Electron
✓ Charge particle.
✓ Having Momentum.
 • Thomson actually given the value of
specific ratio.
• Further Millikan in his Oil drop
Experiment calculated Charge on an
Electron.
Robert • Further he got Mass of Electron
calculated.

E. Rutherford
▪ Goldstein presumed presence of
Positive Charge Particle.
▪ Explained About Canal Rays.
✓ Rutherford is Credited for
Discovery of Proton & Nucleus.
✓ Nucleus was Discovered in Alpha
Particle Scattering Experiment.
 • Chadwick conducted an Experiment
in which he bombarded beryllium
with alpha particles from the
radioactive decay of polonium.
• Precisely motivated from E.
James Rutherford’s Experiment.

Radioactivity Atoms having unstable Most of f-block

nucleus due to very elements and 7th
large atomic size tend period elements are
to radioactive. radioactive.
 • Stability of Atom was proved by Bohr.
• He introduced electrons arrangement in energy
levels called shells.
• Concept of ground state and excited state was
proposed first by him.
