quantum of atomic structure

Wave nature of material objects In 1924, de Broglie's suggested that all material objects including an electron have a dual character; they behave as particles as well as waves. The wavelength associated with a particle of mass 'm', moving with velocity 'v' is given by de Broglie's relation as: ..

Neils Bohr was a eminent Danish Physicist who obtained his doctorate in theoretical Physics in 1911. He made a great contribution towards the understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics at the young age of 37, in 1..

Two new theories came to substantially modify Bohr's Atomic model. They a..

This quantum number determines the main energy level or shell in which an electron is present. It is usually denoted by n and can have any whole number value such as: n = 1, 2, 3, 4 .. etc. The various values of n as 1, 2, 3, 4 .etc., are also called K, L, M, N etc. If n = 1, the energy l..

Quantum Theory of Covalent Bond - Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is m..

The orientation of spin of an electron is designated by its spin quantum number 's'. The spin orientation is an intrinsic characteristic of the electron connected more with its magnetic behaviour rather than rotation of an electron about its own axis. This number can have only two values..

, +1 or p-subshell contains three orbitals called p- orbitals. If l=2, m may be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 or d-subshell contains five orbitals called d-orbitals. Similarly, it can be shown that f-subshell can have seven orbitals. The number of orbitals in a subshells are given belo..

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..
