Probability Picture of Electrons and Concept of Atomic Orbital (Wave Mechanical Treatment) - The wave character of an electron and uncertainty in its position and momentum gave a serious blow to Bohr's model of an atom. According to Bohr, the electrons revolve around t..

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 made by the valence bond theory in terms of the q..

The Solid State - Solids are substances having definite volume and definite shape. In terms of kinetic molecular model, in solids there is a regular order in the arrangement of the constituting particles (atoms, molecules or ions) i.e. the particles constituting the solids occup..

Rutherford and his co-workers, performed series of scattering experiments and concluded that the entire mass and the positive charge is concentrated in a very small region at the centre of the atom, known as nucleus. The radius of the nucleus is about 10 - 1 5 m i.e., 10 - 5 tim..

In 1899, the study of radioactivity was taken up by Ernest Rutherford. He placed a little radium at the bottom of a small lead box and subjected the rays that emerged from it to the action of a very strong magnetic field at right angles to their direction. He found that the rays separate..

Solids are substances having definite volume and definite shape. In terms of kinetic molecular model, in solids there is a regular order in the arrangement of the constituting particles (atoms, molecules or ions) i.e. the particles constituting the solids occupy fixed posi..

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom the electron revolves around the nucleus in a path of radius 5.1 x 10 - 1 1 m at a frequency of 6.8 x 10 1 5 revolution per second. What is the value of magnetic field at the center of the orbi..

Suppose an element A disintegrates into another element B. Let number of atoms of A when t = 0 is N 0 . A undergoes continuous disintegration into B and hence the number of atoms of A goes on decreasing. Let the number of atoms of A left undisintegrated in time t b..

Rate of Disintegration - Suppose an element A disintegrates into another element B. Let number of atoms of A when t = 0 is N 0 . A undergoes continuous disintegration into B and hence the number of atoms of A goes on decreasing. Let the number of atoms of A left undisi..

'. So, elements were arranged thereafter not based on the atomic weight but based on the atomic number. With this change the anomalies existed previously vanished automatically. Hence, Moseley re-arranged the periodic table based on atomic number. He expressed his obse..
