2.1.1
Discharge Tube Experiment:

All gases air are bad conductors of electricity at normal pressure. But on high voltage and low pressure, they become good conductor. The conduction of electricity was first studied by WILLIAM COOKS. The apparatus used for this purpose is called “DISCHARGE TUBE”.

Construction:

Discharge tube consists of a cylindrical glass tube closed at both ends and fitted with two metallic electrodes. These electrodes are connected to the positive and negative terminals of a battery.
The discharge tube also posses a side tube which is connected to a vacuum pump in order to remove the gas or air from it. The removal of air or gas reduced pressure inside the tube.
                     
Working:

When a high voltage is applied to a discharge tube at normal pressure, no phenomenon is observed. But when the vacuum pump is started and most of the gas inside the discharge tube is pumped out and the pressure is reduced to 1 torr, the tube soon begins to emit a soft glow. This gives an indication that the gas in the tube begins to conduct electricity. As the pressure is further reduced, the glowing rays move towards anode. Since these rays are produced at the surface of the cathode therefore these are called “CATHODE
RAYS”.
At still lower pressure about 0.01 torr, the flow from within the tube fades out and dark spaces appears in the discharge tube. At this stage the glass tube at the anode end begins to emit a greenish fluorescence.

Properties of Cathode Rays:

The various experiments performed by different scientists indicate that the cathode rays possess the following characteristics:
1.            These rays travel in a straight lines perpendicular to the cathode surface.
2.            These rays produce sharp shadows if an opaque object is placed in their path.
3.            These rays emerge from cathode and can be focused by using a concave cathode.
4.            These rays can penetrate small thickness of meter e.g. Aluminum or Gold foils
             without producing any perforation in it.
5.            These rays can exert mechanical pressure, showing they possess Kinetic Energy.
6.            These rays are deflected in a magnetic field. This behavior           indicates that they consist
 of charged particles.     
7.            These rays are deflected towards positively charge plate in an electrical field,
                indicating that they consist of negatively charged particles called ELECTRONS.
8.            The charge to mass ratio (e/m) of these rays is 1.76 x 1011 coulomb / Kg.
9.            The charge and mass of these rays are 1.6 x 10-19 coulomb & 9.1 x 10-31 Kg
                respectively.
10.          The rays were seen neither to depend on the material of which the electrodes were
                made nor upon the gas which is filled in the        tube.

Conclusion:
On the basis of these properties, it was concluded that cathode rays are negatively charged particles called “ELECTRONS”. Since nature of the cathode rays does not change with the nature of the gas and the cathode used in the tube, hence it can be safely that electrons are the fundamental particles of all atoms.


DISCOVERY OF PROTON:

During the study of the passage of electricity through gases at low pressure, it was observed by Goldstein that, in addition to cathode rays there are also other rays traveling in opposite direction to the cathode rays, and if the cathode is perforated, then these rays can pass through the perforations (canals) and accumulate at the behind of cathode. He named these rays as “Positive Rays” or “Canal Rays”.

Properties of Positive Rays:

1.These rays travel in a straight line.
2.These rays are deflected by electric and magnetic fields opposite to the cathode rays.
   Therefore these are positively charged rays.
3.These rays are not emitted from anode but are produced from             the ionization of gas as a
    result of bombardment of electrons.
4.Their positive charge was found to be equal to that of electron or         simple multiple of it.
5.These particles were found to be much heavier than electrons.             The mass of these
    particles were found to depend on the kind of              gas taken in the discharge tube but it is
    never less than that of an atom or hydrogen.
6. Positive rays unlike cathode rays have different value of e/m                depending on the gas
     present in the discharge tube.

Conclusion:
The charge to mass ratio (e/m) of these rays depends upon the natural of the gas in the discharge tube. The highest (e/m) ratio is obtained in case of hydrogen gas. Therefore hydrogen without electron (H+) is the smallest positive particles of matter. This particle was given the name “PROTON” by Goldstein in 1986. Later on Rutherford showed that proton like electron is also a fundamental particle of matter.

Discovery of Neutron:

The total mass of the protons and electrons in each atom are not sufficient to account for the atomic masses of the different elements. For this reason, scientists believed that there must be another heavy particle inside the atom.
In 1932, James Chadwick discovered the third particle in the nucleus of atom by means of artificial radioactivity.
Chadwick bombarded the nucleus of Beryllium atoms with  a particles and found that it gave highly penetrating radiation. Chadwick put forward the suggestion that these penetrating radiation were due to material particles with mass comparable with that of an atom of hydrogen but carrying no charge. These particles are called “Neutrons” The neutrons must have come out from atoms on disintegration of the bombarded element. This is indicated by the equation.

Bohr’s Atomic Theory:
                The weakness in the Rutherford’s model and the formation of line spectrum were improved by Neil Bohr, who proposed a new theory to explain the electronic structure of the atom in 1913. This theory is based upon the following assumptions.

Assumptions:

1.            Electrons in an atom revolve around the nucleus in fixed circular which he called orbits or energy levels.
2.            As long as an electron revolves in a particular energy level it does not emit or absorb energy.
3.            When an electron absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level, further away from the nucleus. When it loss energy, it returns to a lower energy level, closer to the nucleus and the         energy is emitted as light.
4.            The electron loses a definite quantity of energy called “Quantum”, when it jumps from an orbit of higher energy level to lower energy level.
5.            The energy is emitted in the form of radiations. The frequency of the energy emitted is directly proportional to the difference in         energy between two levels.

                i.e.          E2 – E1 a u
                                E2 – E1 = hu
                D E = hu
                where, E1 = Energy of electron in 1st orbit.
                                                E2 = Energy of electron in 2nd orbit.
                                                DE = Energy difference b/w two levels.
                                                u   = Frequency of the energy emitted.
                                                h   = Plank’s Constant
6.            The angular momentum (mvr) of an electron in any orbit is          integral multiple of .
                where, m            = mass of electron
                                   v           = velocity of electron
                                   r           = Radius of the orbit
                                   n          = Quantum number
                                                = 1, 2, 3, ……………

Suppose an atom of Hydrogen with atomic number ‘Z’ and electro with mass ‘m’ , charge ‘e’ is revolving around its nucleus at the distance ‘r’.
The electrostatic force (centripetal force) between the nucleus and the electron would be
The centrifugal force which keeps the electron away from the nucleus would be . Since the electron is in equilibrium.

Plank’s Quantum Theory:

German physicist, Max Plank proposed this theory in 1900 to describe the origin of the radiations from heated bodies. This theory is stated as:
“Radiant energy is emitted or absorbed by a body in the form of small packets, called QUANTA, instead of being continuously. This QUATA of energy are often called PHOTON.
Also the amount of energy given off or absorbed is directly related to the frequency of the light emitted”.

i.e.
E a u
=> E = hu
where   E = energy of quanta
                                u = frequency of radiation
                                h = Plank’s constant
                                   = 6.625 x 10-34 J.sec

Energy of Electron:
An electron possess Kinetic Energy due to its motion around the nucleus and the potential energy due to the coulombic attraction force of the nucleus.

Frequency:
Suppose and electron with energy E2, jumps from higher energy state n2, to a lower energy state n1, with energy E1. Then the energy released DE by the electron will be

2.5.1
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle:

Statement:
According to this principle,
“The position & the momentum of an electron cannot be determined accurately simultaneously. One is measured more accurately, the other becomes equally more uncertain at any given instant.”


Mathematical Expression:
If DPx is the uncertainty in the determination of the momentum of a particle & Dx was the uncertainly in the simultaneous determination of it’s position , then the product of these two uncertainties is given by:
DPx . Dx @ h
Thus if one of the two i.e. Px or X was known exactly , then the uncertainty in its other would become infinite . It means that the certainty of determination of one property introduces uncertainty 
For the determination of other.

Explanation:
The uncertainty arise due to the fact that a light with shorter wave length than the located its position. But the momentum of photon (particle of light) increases with decreasing its wave-length.
An electron is so small a particle, that it will be disturbed from its position, on colliding with a high momentum photon particle used to locate it, & hence it is  not possible to say as to what actual position of electron is,


2.5.2
Orbit:
“The fixed circular path on electron  around the nucleus called “Shell”
or “Energy Level” or “Orbit”.
These orbit are designated as K, L, M, N, etc. The maximum number of electron in one orbit is “2n2“, where “n” is the number of orbit. These orbit possess a definite amount of energy increasing outwards from the nucleus.

Orbitals:
If a atomic spectrum is observed, the spectral lines are found to be consist of two or more fine lines closely packed together. Thus the electron In the same orbit may differ in energy by small amount. Thus energy level are further divided into           Sub – Energy Levels or  “Orbitals” & can be defined as  
“Orbitals  are  the  regions  around  the nucleus in which the probability of finding the electron is maximum.”
The Orbitals have been named as s, p, d, f, etc. The maximum no. of electron in s, p, d, f, are 2, 6, 10 & 14 respectively. Each orbit has “Orbital” equal to its quantum number ‘n’. Thus the first orbit contain 1, the second orbit has 2 (i.e. s & p) , the third orbit has 3 (i.e. s, p & d) & fourth has 4 (i.e. s, p, d & f ) Orbitals.
SHAPES OF ORBITAL
S – orbital:
All’s Orbitals are spherical in shape with the nucleus at the centre. Therefore in an ‘S’ orbital, the probability of  finding the electron is uniformly distributed  around the nucleus. It has only one possible orientation in space, because it  spread over all the three axes uniformly . It has no nodal plane.

P – orbital:

The P - orbital are dumb-bell shaped
and they are oriented in the space
along the three mutually perpendicular
axis (x,y,z) and are called Px, Py and Pz
orbitals. All the three P- orbitals are
perpendicular to each other.
These are degenerated orbitals, that are equal energy. Each P – orbital has two lopes, one of which is labeled (+) and the other is labeled (-).


2.5.3
Quantum NumberS:
In 1926 Schrödinger was a mathematician who calculate the probability of location of the electrons in an orbital. Quantum Numbers are the constant used in Schrödinger. Wave equation to describe the energy of an electron, the shape of orbitals an orientation in space around the nucleus of atom. The four quantum numbers are:
ü  Principle quantum number
ü  Azimuthal quantum number
ü  Magnetic quantum number
ü  Spin quantum number

Principle Quantum NumberS:
Principle quantum number describes the size of an orbit and is represent by ‘n’. They have any integral value i.e. n=1,2,3,………………… it never zero. The size and the energy of orbital increase with increase the value of ‘n’.

Azimuthal Quantum NumberS:
Azimuthal quantum number describes the shape of an orbital and its represented by ‘l’. It can have integral values ranging from zero to n-1 i.e. l=0,1,2,…………… (n-1)
If l = o,  the orbital is called s orbital
If l = 1,   the orbital is called p orbital
If l = 2,   the orbital is called d orbital

Magnetic Quantum Numbers:
The magnetic quantum number describes the different orientation of an orbital in the space in applied magnetic field and it is represented by ‘m’. The value of m =- l to + l through zero. i.e. , m = - l ….0….. + l.
If l = 2   
Then m = -2 , -1, 0 , +1, +2
i.e. d-orbital has the five orientations.

Spin Quantum Numbers:
It describes the direction of spin of an electron around the nucleus of an atom and is represented by ‘s’. Its values are = + ½ and – ½.
+ ½ spin for clockwise direction
- ½ spin for anti clockwise direction


2.6.1


2.7.1
Principle of Electronic Configuration:

The distribution of electron in the orbitals of the atom is called electronic configuration. Following rules are used in the filing of the electrons in any orbital.
(i)                              Pauli exclusion principle
(ii)                            Aufbau principle
(iii)                           (n+ l) rule
(iv)                          Hund’s rule

Pauli Exclusion Principle:

According to this principle “No two electron of the same atom will have the same value of all its four quantum numbers”.
Therefore in an atom two electrons may have a maximum of three same quantum numbers, same value but the fourth would be different. Thus in an orbital, when the value of n, l and m are same , the two electrons can occupy the same orbital only there spin are opposite.
e.g. for 1st K shell
n=1, l=0, m=0, s=+ ½ 
n=1, l=0, m=0, s=- ½ 

Aufbau principle:

According to this rule the electron are fed in various orbitals in order of increase orbital energy starting with the one ‘s’ orbital”.
Hence electronic configuration of an atom can be built up by placing the electrons to the lowest available orbital until the total number of electrons added is equal to the atomic number ‘Z’. The sequence of increasing orbital energy is below
1s, 2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p,……………

(n+ l) Rule:

According to this rule “In builting up the electronic configuration the orbitals with the lowest value of (n+l)fills first, but when the two orbitals have the same value of (n+ l), the orbital with the lower value of ‘n’ fills first”.
Here ‘n’ and ‘l’ stands for principal and azimuthal quantum numbers respectively. Actually this rule is used to determine the energy of any orbital and then we can apply the Aufbau Principle. e.g. 3d – orbital is filled later than 4s – orbital
\            3d – orbital         has (n+l ) = 3+2 = 5
                4s – orbital has (n+l ) = 4+0 = 4
Similarly 4p – orbitals fills before 5s – orbital because 4p orbital has lesser value of ‘n’.
\            4p– orbital          has (n+l ) = 4+1 = 5
                5s – orbital has (n+l ) = 5+0 = 5

Hund’s Rule:
According to this rule “When the orbitals of same energy levels are available, then electrons are distributed in orbitals in such a way as to give the maximum numbers of unpaired electrons . Only when the orbital are separately occupied then the pairing of electrons commences”.
This rule explain the filling of electrons in degenerate (having same energy) orbitals like p,d,f. In simple, it state that the electrons remain unpaired as far as possible. i.e. If there are available orbitals of equal energy to the electrons, the electrons would lie in separate orbitals and have same spin rather than to lie in the same orbital and have paired spin.


e.g. (N(Z=7) = 1s2, 2s2,2Px , 2Py , 2Pz        is true


       and  not                              1s2, 2s2,2Px, 2Py, 2Pz
