29. Bohr's model explained electrons can revolve only in certain permitted orbits whose angular momentum
is integral multiple of h/2π, associated with fixed amount of energy. Bohr theory could successfully explain
stability of atoms and spectrum of unielectron species. Hydrogen spectrum consist of Lyman, Balmer,
Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series. Bohr's theory could not explain spectrum of multi-electron species,
Stark effect, Zeeman effect, dual nature of matter, de Broglie equation and Heisenberg uncertainty principle
which lead to orbital concept. Electrons were filled in orbitals according to Aufbau's principle, Hund's Rule
and Pauli's exclusion principle. Each electron is identified by four quantum numbers n, I, ml and ms out
which n, I, ml were derived from Schrodinger's wave equation. Half filled and completely filled orbitals are
more stable due to exchange energy and symmetrical distribution of electrons.

30. Modern periodic table arranges the elements in the increasing order of atomic number. It has 18 groups
and 7 periods. Atomic numbers are consecutive in a period and increases in group in a pattern. Elements are
divided into four blocks, s-block ,p-block, d-block and f-block based on their electronic configuration. 78%
of elements are metals, about 20 elements are non-metals and few elements like B, Si, Ge, As are metalloids.
Metallic character increases down the group but decreases along the period from left to right. The physical
and chemical properties vary periodically with their atomic numbers. Periodic trends are observed in atomic
size, ionisation enthalpies, electron gain enthalpies, electronegativity and valence. Oxides of metals are
basic, some are amphoteric. Non-metals form acidic oxides, some form neutral oxides. s-block elements are
soft, highly reactive, do not show variable oxidation states. p-block elements are metals, non-metals as well
as metalloids, show variable oxidation states, exist as solids, liquids and gases. d-block elements are metals,
form coloured ions, show variable oxidation states, have high melting and boiling points. Lanthanoids and
actinoids are f-block elements, form coloured ions. All actinoids are radioactive.
