Bohr Model, Postulates of Bohr Model, , Niels Bohr was a danish, physicist who made, foundational, contributions, to, understanding atomic, structure and quantum, theory, for which he, received the Nobel, Prize in Physics in, 1922., , 1. Electrons in an atom are revolving around the nucleus in, fixed circular paths called orbits or shells., The orbits are designated as K,L,M,N etc., or numbered as 1,2, 3,4 etc., 2. Allowed orbits are those for which angular momentum is an integral, multiple of h/2π., mvr = 2π, Thus angular momentum and hence energy of the electron is quantised., The angular momentum corresponding to different orbits are, K – shell, M – shell, , n=1, n=3, , mvr =, mvr =, , 2π, 2π, , L – shell, and so on., , n=2, , mvr =, , π

As long as the electron remains in the given orbit its energy does not, change., , Emission, , 5. The energy changes when electron jumps from one orbit to another ,, ie, during the transitions., When the electron jumps from higher orbit to lower orbit, the process is, known as emission and when it jumps from lower orbit to a higher one, the process is absorption., Absorption

Atomic structure, de Broglie relation, According to de Broglie, microscopic particles like electrons exhibit, wave nature along with particle nature(dual nature)., The wavelength of a microscopic particle is known as, de Broglie wavelength(λ) which is given as, , λ=, h - Plank’s constant, m - mass of the particle, v - velocity of the particle, , de Broglie was a French, physicist, who, made, groundbreaking contributions, to quantum theory. In his 1924, PhD thesis, he postulated the, wave nature of electrons and, suggested that all matter has, wave properties.

Atomic structure, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, According to uncertainty principle, it is impossible to determine, simultaneously the position and momentum of a microscopic particle, exactly., The principle is mathematically expressed as, , Δx Δp, Δx and Δp are the uncertainty in position and momentum of the electron, h - Plank’s constant, , Werner Heisenberg was a, German theoretical physicist, and one of the key pioneers of, quantum mechanics.

Atomic structure, Orbital, According to uncertainty principle , the position of a moving, electron can not be determined exactly. Therefor the fixed, orbit of Bohr model is replaced by orbital., Orbital is the region of space around the nucleus where there, is a maximum probability of finding the electron., Each orbital correspond to a definite energy level and can, accommodate only two electrons., , Plots showing the probability of, finding electrons around a, nucleus.

Atomic structure – Electronic configuration, Electronic configuration is the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom, The arrangement of electrons in various orbitals are governed by the following laws, 1. Aufbau Principle, 2. Pauli’s Exclusion Principle, 3. Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity

Electronic Configuration of atom, Pauli’s exclusion principle, No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of all the four quantum numbers., For a given orbital, first three quantum numbers are the same. The fourth spin quantum number, has only two allowed values +1/2 and -1/2.
