atomic spectra and atomic structure

Hydrogen is the simplest element with its atom having only one electron. Hence, the atomic spectrum of hydrogen has played a significant role in the development of atomic structure. In the emission spectrum of hydrogen, when an electric discharge is passed t..

When the atomic vapours from a sample are placed in the path of white light from an arc lamp, it absorbs the light of certain characteristic wavelengths and the light of other wavelengths get transmitted. In such conditions a series of dark lines on a white background are formed. This is..

Atomic Spectra - A spectrum is an assembly of energy levels in the form of radiations emitted by an atom in its excited state. Every atom gives discontinuous line spectra. Each line in the spectra corresponds to a specific wavelength and i..

Introduction - The evidence of the electrical nature of matter preceeded the first theories about the structure of matter. In 1832, Michael Faraday discovered electrolysis. He gave the first important clue relating electricity to matter and about the electric nature of atoms..

Although Dalton's theory of the existence of atoms was published in 1808 there was no clear idea of what an atom might look like until the early part of the twentieth century. With the advent of electricity and phenomenon of spectrum, experimentation underwent a change and a flu..

A Search for the Particles of Atom of Electrons - Although Dalton's theory of the existence of atoms was published in 1808, there was no clear idea of what an atom might look like until the early part of the twentieth century. With the advent of electricity and phen..

The Structure of the Atom Scientific investigation on the structure of atom and its subatomic particles is an area where still absorbs scientists. In the process, they have discovered many more new subatomic particles, for example positron, meson, quarks ..

Everything that exists in our universe is made up of this tiny particle called atom. The computer you are working on is made up of atoms..

Valence Shell and Valence Electron - The outermost shell of an atom is called its Valence shell. It is the decisive shell during a chemical reaction. The electrons of only this outermost shell are involved during chemical combinations; electrons are either given out from the outermost she..
