NCERT 9TH CLASS SCIENCE CHAPTER STRUCTURE OF ATOM

 INTRODUCTION


    According to John Dalton : All matter was composed of small  particle called atom.  
    Atom is a Greek word and its meaning Indivisible i.e. an ultimate particles which cannot be further subdivided.

     According to Dalton's theory -
(1)   Atom is the smallest indivisible part of matter which takes part in chemical reaction.
(2)  Atom is neither be created nor be destroyed.
(3)  Atoms of the same element are similar in size, mass and characteristics ; however, atoms of different elements have different size, mass and characteristics.
l    An atom is made up of three subatomic particle electron, proton & neutrons. These three particles are called fundamental particles of matter. 

   
          
 DO YOU KNOW :  Mass of Proton is  2000 times more than electron 
    
 ATOMIC STRUCTURE

    There are two parts of atom :
    (i) Nucleus                     (ii) Outer part
  

 Nucleus : The size of nucleus of atom is very small in which neutrons and protons are present so the almost entire mass of the atom is situated in nucleus.

 Protons & neutrons present in the nucleus are collectively termed as nucleus. Number of neutrons is called mass number element. Size of the nucleus
  in the atom is 10–15m. 
   Mass number (A) = Number of protons in the nucleus (p) + Number of Neutrons (n).
  Outer Part : In the outerpart, electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits. These orbits are called energy levels.

CATHODE RAYS

   (Discovery of e–) : 
    In 1859 "Julius Plucker" started the study of conduction of electricity through gases at low pressure in a discharge tube

  . When a high voltage of 10,000 volts or more was impressed across the electrodes, some sort of inversible rays moved from

    the negative electrodes to the positive electrode. Since the negative electrode is referred to as cathode. These rays were called cathode rays. 

      

    Properties of cathode rays : 

  • These rays travels in straight line away from cathode with very high velocity ranging from 107 to 109 m/sec.
  •  A shadow of metallic object placed in the path is cast on the wall opposite to cathode. 
  •  Cathode rays cause green fluorescence on glass surface, i.e the glasss surface on which the cathode rays strike show a coloured shine.
  •  Cathode rays consist of matter particles, and posses energy by the virtue of their mass and velocity.
  •  Cathode rays set a paddle wheel into motion when it is placed in the path of these rays. This is due to the 
  •  impact of the particles of the cathode rays on the blades of the paddle wheel. 

                                           
    
Cathode ray particles strike the blades of the paddle wheel, and set it into motion

  • These rays are deflected by the electric of magnetic fields when the rays are passed between two electrically charged plates,
  • these are deflected towards the positively charged plates. It shows that   cathode rays carry negative charge.
  •  These particles carrying negative charge. These particles carrying negative charge were called negatrons by thomson. The name negatron was
    changed "Electron by   Strong".
  •  These rays produce heat energy when they collide with the matter. It shows that cathode rays possess kinetic energy which is converted into
      heat energy when stopped by matter. 
  •  These rays affect the photographic plate. 
  •  Cathode rays can penetrate the thin foil of solid materials.
  •  Cathode rays can ionize the gases through which they pass.
  •  The nature of cathode rays independent of 

    (a) The nature of cathode 
    (b) The gas in discharge tube
    Ques. What are cathode rays ?                                                                [NCERT] 

    Measurement of e/m for electron :

        In 1897 J.J. Thomson determine the e/m value, charge/mass of the electron by studying the deflection of cathode rays in electric & magnetic fields. 
        The value of e/m has been found to be –1.7588 × 108 coulomb/unit. The absolute value of the charge in an e– was measured by R.A.
        Milikan 1909 by the Milikan's oil drops experiment.

   ANODE RAYS OR CANAL RAYS

       

    It has been established that electron is a negatively charged particle present in all the atoms. As an atom is electrically neutral,

    there must be some positively charged particle present in the atom to neutralize the negative charge of the electrons.

     It has been confirmed by experiment "Goldstein" in 1886 discovered the existence of  a new type of rays in discharge tube

    . He carrried out experiment in discharge tube containing perforated cathode. These rays moved towards cathode and passed through
      the perforation in the cathode.  

  •  Initially these ray were called canal rays because they pass through the canals or holes of the cathode. 
  •  These rays are also called anode rays since they originate from the anode side. 
  •  Anode rays are positively charged, therefore these were named positive rays by Sir J.J.  Thomson.

  

 Characteristics of anode rays : 

   Anode rays travel in straight lines. These rays rotate the light paddle wheel placed in their path

 . Anode rays are deflected by magnetic or electric field towards negatively charged plate. This indicates that these rays are positively charged. 

  • The anode rays affect photographic plate.
  •  The nature of anode rays depends upon the type of gas used. The charge (e) to mass (m) ratio (e/m) of anode rays particle is different for
    different gases. The value of e/m is maximum for hydrogen gas.  
  •  The positive rays obtained from hydrogen are made up the same type of positive particles. These particles are known as protons.

        In the discharge tube the atoms of gas lose negatively charged electrons. These atoms, thus acquire a positive charge . The positively
       charge particle produced from hydrogen gas were called "protons".
  

   (Proton)
   Characteristics of proton :  

    A proton is a fundamental particle of atom carrying one unit positive charge of having mass nearly equal to the mass of an atom of hydrogen.

   The protons are present in the nucleus of the atom.
    Charge of proton :  Proton is a positively charged particle. The charge on a proton is equal but opposite to that on an electron.

    Thus the magnitude of charge on a proton is + 1.602 × 10–19 coulomb/unit.  The mass of proton is equal to the mass of hydrogen atom.
            
    Ques. If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not ? [NCERT]

  THOMSON MODEL OF ATOM

     
    

Fig. Thomson's model of the Atom

l   Detailed model of the atom was first of all proposed by Sir J.J. Thomson. 
l   Thomson proposed that an atom consist of a uniform sphere of positive charge in which the electrons are distributed more or less uniformly.
l   Thomson proposed the model of an atom to be similar to that of a Christmas pudding. The electrons,

   in a sphere of positive charge, were like currants (dry fruits) in a spherical Christmas pudding.

   We can also think of a watermelon, the positive charge in the atom is spread all over like the red edible part of the watermelon,

  while the electron are sudden in the positively charged sphere, like the seeds in the watermelon. 
        
 Ques. On the basis of Thomson's model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.[NCERT]

 Drawback of the Thomson Model :

l   An important drawback of this model is that the mass of the atoms is considered to be evenly spread over that atom.
l   It is static model. It does not explain the movement of electron.
l   It could not explain the stability of an atom.

RUTHERFORD'S  MODEL OF THE ATOM (DISCOVERY OF NUCLUES) 

    In 1911, scientist "Ernest Rutherford" gave a new picture for the structure of atom by his a-particle scattering experiment & proposed

   the structure of atom. a particle are charged particles having 2 unit of positive charge and 4 units of mass, that is a-particle (2He4) are
   doubly charged helium atom (He+2)

    Rutherford Experiment :  

 

  • When fast moving alpha particles  strike very thin gold foil in vaccum, it is found that :
  • Most of the fast moving a-particles passed straight through the gold foil, without any deflection from their original part.
  • Some of the a-particles were deflected by the foil by small angles and few are deflected through large angles.
  •  A very few alpha particles completely rebound on hitting the gold foil and turn back on their path.

    Conclusion of Rutherford experiment :

     Rutherford concluded from the a-particle scattering experiment that 

  •  Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the a-particle passed through the gold foil without getting deflected. 
  •  Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.  
  •  A very small fraction of a-particles were deflected by 180°, indicating that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were
     concentrated in a very small volume within the atom. 
  •  On the basis of this experiment, Rutherford put forward the nuclear model of an atom, which has the following features.  
  •  There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. Nearly all the mass of the an atom resides in the nucleus.
  •  The electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbit. 
  •   The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.

         
    Ques. On the basis of Rutherford's model of an atom, which subatomic particle is present in the nucleus of an atom ?                                        [NCERT]
        
  DO YOU KNOW :  Radius of nucleus is 10–15m radius of atom is 10–10m.  

  Drawback of the Rutherford Experiment :

    According to Maxwell, if an electrically charged particle revolves around circular path, then it always radiate out energy Thus.

    If an electron moves around the nucleus, it must continuously radiate out energy and hence, gradually more towards nucleus in a
    spiral path, till it collide with nucleus.
        

  BOHR MODEL OF ATOM

    Rutherford's Model of the atom was unable to explain certain observations with regard to the atom that is stability of the atom and the
     occurence of the atomic spectra.
   Neil's Bohr accepted Rutherford's idea that the positive charge and most of the mass of atom is concentrated in its nucleus with the
     electrons present at some distance away.

    It is a quantum mechanical model. This model was based on quantum theory of radiation or plank theory and classical law of physics.

    According to Bohr's Theory :

  • Electrons revolve around the nucleus in well defined orbits or shells each shells having a definite amount of energy associated with the electrons in it.
    Therefore these shells are also called energy levels.
  • The energy associated with the electrons in an orbit increase as the radius of the orbit increase. These shell also known as K, L, M, N..............starting
     from the one closest to the nucleus.
  •  An electron in a shell can move to a higher or lower energy shell by absorbing or releasing a fixed amount of energy. 
  •   The amount of energy absorbed or emitted is given by differences energies associated with the two levels. Thus 

    
    where h is plank's constant and n is the frequency of the radiation.

        
  Ques. Draw a sketch of Bohr's model of an atom with three shells.                         [NCERT]  
    
  DISCOVERY OF NEUTRON

    In 1932, "Chadwick " bombarded berylium with a stream of a-particle. He observed that penerating radiations were produced

    which were not affected by electric & magnetic field. These radiations consists of neutral particles, which were called neutron.
    The nuclear reaction can be shown as as:    
  
    In this equation the subscript stand for number of protons and the superscript for mass number. It is now clear that the neutron is
    fundamental consitituent of atom and is located in the nucleus. 
   Characteristics of a neutron :
    Mass : The relative mass of a neutron is almost equal to that of proton. In fact relative mass of neutron is 1.0087 (1.008) amu and that of
    proton is 1.0073 (1.008) amu. 
    Charge : Neutron is electrically neutral and has no electric charge. With the discovery of neutrons, we can explain why the atomic mass of
    helium is 4 amu. Atomic mass = Mass of proton + Mass of neutron.
    Valency : An atom of each element has definite combining capacity of the element is called valency. The number of electron (e–) gained, lost
      or shared by the atom of an element to complete octet stable :
Ex :- Ne20. 
    Valence electron :  The electron present in the outer most shell are called valence electron. 
     Ex. Na+ and N–  
        
   Ques. How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and magnesium ?                 [NCERT]  

 ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBER

    Atomic number (Z)  : 

     It is denoted by 'Z'. Thus atomic number = No. of protons = No. of electrons for hydrogen Z = 1 because in hydrogen atom only one
    proton is present in the nucleus.             
    Therefore, the atomic number is defined as the total number of protons  present in the nucleus of an atom.
    Ex. 6C12 means atomic number of carbon is 6. Nucleus of carbon has 6 protons. Nucleus of carbon has 6 unit positive charge. There are 6
     electrons, revolving round the nucleus of carbon. 
  
    The mass number of magnesium is 12. The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of magnesium is 24 number of protons is 12.
    Number of neutrons is = 24 – 12 = 12.
   Mass Number (A) : The mass number of an atom is defined as the sum of the total number of protons and

    neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. For example, mass of carbon is 12u because it has 6 proton and 6 neutron that is 6u. + 6u. = 12u.
   Mass number : Number of protons + number of neutron for eg.
  
        For example-Nitrogen is written as .
    Ques. If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then  (i) what is the atomic number of atom (ii) what is the
    charge of the atom ?                                 [NCERT]
    Ques. Find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.                                 [NCERT] 

 ISOTOPES 
    Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same atomic number but different mass number.
    For example isotopes of hydrogen atom, namely protium (1H1 ) deuterium(1H2) tritium (1H3).
    The atomic number of each one is 1, but the mass number is 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
  Exampe of Isotopes : 
          
        

    
    Applications of Isotopes :
     Since the chemical properties of all isotopes of an element are the same but same isotopes have special properties which find
     them usefulin various fields. Some of them are :

  •  Uranium () is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors.
  •  Cobalt () is used in the treatment of cancer.
  •  odine () is used in the treatment of goitre.
  •  Sodium () is used for differentiating cancerous tissues from the normal tissues.
  •  Carbon  is used in dating of fossil samples.

   How to calculate the atomic mass of an element from the mass number of its isotopes.
    The atomic mass of an element is the weighted arithmetic mean of the atomic masses of its isotopes present in the sample of the
     element.Let us consider a sample of an element X containing its two isotopes X1 and X2.
    Atomic mass of the element X = 
    Ex. This method is illustrated by taking the case of chlorine. The two isotopes of chlorine, and  occur in the ratio 3 : 1. Then, 
    Atomic mass of chlorine :  
           

ISOBARS 
    Atoms of different elements with different atomic number which have the same mass number, are known as isobars.
    For example : Calcium and argon 
                      20Ca40          18Ar40
             
        
     
     Ques. Write the electronic configuration of any one pair of isotopes and isobars.         [NCERT]
    Order of filling of electrons in orbitals :
    There are different rules for filling electrons in subshells. They are described as follows.
l    Pauli's exclusion principle.
l    Aufbau principle
l    (n + l) rule 
l    Hund's maximum multiplycity rule.
    Pauli's Exclusion Principle :   
l    According to Pauli's exclusion principle an orbital cannot accomodate more than two electrons.

    These two electrons should have opposite spins. eg. :  
    
    Aufbau Principle : 
      Aufbau is a German word and its meaning building up. Aufbau principle gives a sequence in which various subshell are filled up depending on

    the relative order of the energies of various subshell. The subshell with minimum energy is filled up first, when this subshell obtained maximum no

  . of e– or capacity of electrons then the next   subshell of higher energy starts fillings. 
    The order of filling of different sub-shell in represented diagramatically as follows :
    Simmon's Array :

   

    Hund's Maximum Multiplicity Rule : 
    According to hund's rule electrons are distributed among the orbitals of subshell in such a way to give maximum number of
    unpaired electronwith parallel spin.i.e.

     in a subshell pairing of electons will not start until and unless all the orbitals of that subshell will get one electron each with same spin.
    For example :  
  
                                      
    (n + l) Rule : According to it the sequence in which various subshells are filled up can also be determined with the help
       of (n + l) value for a given subshell.

      The subshell with lowest (n + l) value is filled up first when two or more subshells have same (n + l) value then the subshell with lowest
       value of n is filled up first. 

  Sub Shell        n        l        n +l

ELECTRON DISTRIBUTION IN DIFFERENT ORBIT (SHELL)

    The  distribution of electron into different orbits of an atom was suggested by Bohr and Bury. The following rules are followed for writing

   the number of electrons in different energy level or shell. The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n2. Where

    'n' is the orbit number or energy level index 1,2,3. Hence the maximum number of electrons in different shells are as follows.
    First orbit  (K-shell)
    2 × 12 = 2
    Second orbit  (L-shell) = 2 × 22 = 8    
    Third orbit  (M-shell) = 2 × 32 = 18
    Fourth orbit  (N-shell) = 2 × 42 = 32
    The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8.
l    Electron are not accommodated in a given shell. unless the inner shell are filled. That is, the shell are filled in a step-wise manner.
    Orbitals : The three dimensional area around the nucleus of an atom where the probability of finding the moving electrons is
     maximum is called orbital.

NCERT QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS

Q.1    What are canal rays?
Ans.    The anode rays are also called canal rays because anode rays were passed through perforated cathode/hole which were called canal by
           Goldstein. Therefore, he named these rays as canal rays.

 

Q.2    If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not?
Ans.    No, the atom will be neutral as the negative charge of one electron is cancelled out by the positive charge of one proton. So,
          the resultant charge will be zero.

Q.3    On the basis of Thomson’s model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.
Ans.    According to Thomson’s atomic model, the embeded electrons are equal to the positive charge on sphere, so net charge on the atom is zero.

 

Q.4    On the basis of Rutherford’s model of an atom, which sub-atomic particle is present in the nucleus of an atom?
Ans.    Protons are the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus on the basis of Rutherford’s model of an atom.

Q.6    What do you think would be the observation if the a-particle scattering experiment is carried out using a foil of metal other than gold?
Ans.    If a-particles scattering experiment is carried out with other metals, i.e., heavy metals like platinum or silver then experiment may be almost
         same as that with gold. But if lighter metals are taken then the a-particles may knock out the nulceus and they may not be returned back or deflected.

 

Q.7    Name the three sub-atomic particles of an atom.
Ans.    The sub-atomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.

 

Q.8    Helium atom has an atomic mass of 4 u and two protons in its nulceus. How many neutrons does it have?
Ans.    Atomic mass = 4, Number of protons = 2 = Atomic number
          So, number of neutrons = Mass number – Atomic number = 4 – 2 = 2

 

Q.9    Write the distribution of electrons in carbon and sodium atoms.
Ans. For carbon atom: Atomic number = 6
      Thus total number of electrons = 6
      Hence, K = 2, L = 4.
      For sodium atom: Atomic number = 11
     Total number of electrons = 11
     Thus K = 3, L = 8, M = 1

 

Q.10    If K and L shells of an atom are full, then what would be the total number of electrons in the atom?
Ans.  Maximum number of electrons in K shell = 2  × 12 = 2
        Maximum number of electrons in L shell = 2 × 22 = 8
       Hence, total number of electrons = 2 + 8 = 10

Ans.    Atomic number of chlorine = 17
  

Q.12    If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then:
    (a) What is the atomic number of the atom? and
    (b) What is the charge on the atom?
Ans.    (a) Atomic number = Number of protons = 8
          (b) The given atom has equal number of proton and electrons. So, net charge will be zero and the atom will be neutral.

Ans.    The three isotopes of hydrogen which can be represented as 
         H (Proteium),        Atomic number = 1
                Mass number = 1
                  Number of neutrons = A – Z = 1 – 1 = 0
        D (Deutrium),        Atomic number = 1
                Mass number = 2
                Number of neutrons = A – Z = 2 – 1 = 1
        T (Tritium),        Atomic number = 1

Q.14    What are the limitations of Rutherford’s model of the atom?
Ans.    Limitations of Rutherford’s atomic model are:
    He could not explain the stability of the atom, as he described that electrons revolve around the nucleus under the influence of positive charge of the nucleus.

    But according to electron dynamics when a charged particle revolves around the opposite charge, its speed accelerates and it loses the energy and collapses.

 

Q.15  What are the limitations of J.J. Thomson’s model of the atom?
Ans.  The limitations of Thomson’s atomic model are:
    (a) He could not explain the results of Rutherford’s alpha particle experiment.
    (b) He could not explain the spectral properties of the atom.

Ans.    

 

Q.18    Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.
Ans.    Neils Bohr proposed his model in 1913 in order to overcome the shortcomings of Rutherford’s model. He gave the concept of orbits,
           discrete states or energy levels.

 

Q.19    Compare all the proposed models of an atom given in this chapter.
Ans.    


 

Q.20    Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.
Ans.    The combining capacity of an element is called its valency or the number of electrons lost, gained or shared by an atom during bond
           formation or chemical combination is called its valency.
    For example, silicon (Z = 14)
    Electronic configuration,    K,    L,    M
                    2,    8,    4
    So, the valency = 4, as the last shell (valency shell) has 4 electrons.
    Oxygen (Z = 8)
    Electronic configuration–    K,    L
                    2,    6
    The last shell or valence shell has 6 electrons, it will take 2 electrons to complete its octet, therefore the valency is 2.

 

Q.21    Explain with examples
    (i) Atomic number                (ii) mass number    
    (iii) Isotopes                       (iv) Isobars
    Give any two uses of isotopes.
Ans.    (i)    Atomic number(Z): The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom represents its atomic number.
        For example,  Sulphur has 16 protons in its nucleus, its atomic number is 16.
           (ii)    Mass number: Mass number(A) is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.
        A = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
        A = Z + n
        For example, In aluminium, the  nucleus has 13 protons and 14 neutrons,
        therefore, the mass number = 13 + 14 = 27
         (iii)    Isotopes: They are the atoms of same elements which have same atomic number but different mass number. The difference
                in mass number is due to the difference in number of neutrons.
        .
         (iv)    Isobars: They are the atoms of different elements which have same mass number but different atomic number, therefore, they
                  have different physical and chemical properties.
         For example,  and 
        Uses of Isotopes:
         (i)    Iodine –131 is used in treatment of thyroid cancer.
          (ii)    C – 14 is used in estimation of age of fossils.

 

Q.22    Na+ has completely filled K and L shells. Explain.
Ans.    Atomic number of sodium = 11
    Electronic configuration =    K,    L,    M
                        2    8    2
    Sodium atom loses one electron to form Na+ ion.
    As we know that K is the first shell and maximum electrons in 1st shell = 2 × 12 = 2
    L is 2nd shell and the maximum electrons in 2nd shell = 2 × 22 = 8 electrons
    Electronic configuration of Na+ is 2, 8. So, we find out the K and L shell of Na+ is completely filled.

 

Q.25    If X = 3, what would be the valency of the element? Also, name the element.
Ans.    Given Z = 3, the element is Li (lithium).
    Now electronic configuration =    K,    L
                            2,    1
    The last shell or the valence shell has 1 electron.
    The valency = 1+

 

Q.26    Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species X and Y are given below:
                =    X    Y
       Protons    =    6    6
       Neutrons    =    6    8
         Give the mass numbers of X and Y. What is the relation between the two species?
Ans. According to the given composition:
       Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
      Mass number of X = 6 + 6 = 12
      Mass number of Y = 6 + 8 = 14
      These are isotopes of each other because they have same atomic numbers but different mass number.

Q.27    For the following statements, write (T) for true and (F) for false.
    (a)  J.J. Thomson proposed that the nucleus of an atom contains only nucleons.
    (b)  A neutron is formed by an electron and a proton combining together. Therefore, it is neutral.
    (c)  The mass of an electron is about 1/1840 times that of proton.
    (d)  An isotope of iodine is used for making of tincture iodine which is used as a medicine.
Ans.    (a)    F, as it was not stated by Thomson.
          (b)    F, as neutrons are separate particles.
          (c)    T, as this was proved experimentally.
          (d)    F, as the iodine (I-131) is radioactive and costly, so, only simple iodine (I-127) and alcohol is used in tincture of iodine.
