John Dalton coined the term atom. The atom is the fundamental particle of
matter and considered to be indivisible and indestructible.
In fact, the atom as the whole is electrically neutral as number of protons in
it is equal to number of electrons.
Atoms are very small – they are about 0.00000001 cm wide. Think about the
thickness of a crisp. The number of atoms you would need to stack up to make
the thickness of a crisp, is approximately the same number of crisps you would
need to stack up to make the height of Mount Everest!
That’s roughly 7 million crisps!
Electron , proton , neutron are the main fundamental particles of an atom.
(isotopes) and atoms of different kinds may have same atomic masses (isobars).
to the idea that the atom was no longer an indivisible and smallest particle of the matter.

iii. They carry negative charge , the negatively charged material particles constituting the cathode rays are
called electrons.
Cathode rays get deflected when they placed in an electric field & magnetic field. Direction of deflection
shows that they are negatively charged.
iv. They produce heating effect.
v. They cause ionization of the gas through which they pass.
vi. They produce X-rays when they strike against the surface of hard metals like tungsten, molybdenum etc.
vii. They produce green fluorescence on the glass walls of the discharge tube exp: ZnS.
viii. They affect the photographic plates.
ix. They possess penetrating effect (i.e., they can easily pass-through thin foils of metals).
x. The nature of the cathode rays does not depend upon the nature of the gas , taken in the discharge tube
and the nature of cathode material.
xi. For each cathode rays, the ratio of charge (e) to mass (m) is constant
Goldstein discovered the presence of positive rays. He performed discharge tube experiment in which he took
perforated cathode and a gas at low pressure was kept inside a discharge tube.
On applying high voltage between electrodes, new rays were coming from the side of anode and passing through
the hole in the cathode gives fluorescence on the opposite glass wall coated with zinc sulphide.
These rays were called anode rays or canal rays or positive rays.
In the discharge tube the atoms of gas lose negatively charged electrons. These atoms, thus, acquire a positive
charge. The positively charged particle produced from hydrogen gas was called the proton.

Rutherford, performed - ray scattering experiment in which he bombarded thin foils of metals like gold, silver,
platinum or copper with a beam of fast-moving radioactive particles originated from a lead block. The presence
of 𝛼 particles at any point around the thin foil of gold after striking it was detected with the help of a circular
zinc sulphide screen. The point at which a𝛼 particle strikes this screen; a flash of light is given out.
i. Most of the -particles passed through the gold foil without any deflection from their original path.
Because atom has largely empty space as most of the -particles passed through the foil undeflected.
ii. A few of alpha particles are deflected fairly at large angles while some are deflected through small
angles.
Bcz there is heavy positive charge at the center of the atom which causes repulsions.The entire mass of
the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.
iii. A very few -particles are deflected back along their path.
with very high speeds in circular paths called orbits.
charge in the nucleus. Therefore, the atom is electrically neutral. Electrons and the nucleus are held
together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
atom.
As the nucleus of the atom is responsible for the mass of the atom, the extra nuclear part is responsible
for its volume.
1. According to the electromagnetic theory of Maxwell ,
when a charged particle moves under the influence of
attractive force it loses energy continuously in the
form of electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, an
electron in an orbit will emit radiation.
As a result of this, the electron should lose energy at
every turn and move closer and closer to the nucleus following a spiral path. Ultimate result is that it will
fall into the nucleus thereby making the atom unstable.
i.e., Rutherford’s model cannot explain the stability of the atom.
2. If the electrons lose energy continuously, the spectrum is expected to
be continuous but the actual observed spectrum consists of well-defined
lines of definite frequencies. Here the loss of energy by the electrons
is not continuous in an atom.

Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons present in the nucleus. But they have the same number
of protons and electrons.
Because of same number of electrons, they show same chemical properties. They, have different number
of neutrons , so they will have different masses and hence different physical properties.

Electromagnetic radiation does not need any medium for propagation e.g visible, ultra violet, infrared, x-rays, -
rays, radio waves, radiant energy etc.
Two theories were proposed to explain the nature and the propagation of light
propagated in the form of invisible small particles. i.e. light has particle nature.
The particle nature of light explained some of the experimental facts such as reflection and refraction of
light but it failed to explain the phenomenon of interference and diffraction. Therefore, was discarded
and ignored.

strength of the electric field and the horizontal
component of the wave ‘H’ indicates the change in the
strength of the magnetic field.
i.e. 3x
8 m/sec because of the above characteristics, the radiation is called electromagnetic radiations or waves.
Electromagnetic radiation is explained by following characteristics:
The distance between two successive crests, troughs or between any two consecutive identical points in the
same phase of a wave is called wave length. It is denoted by the letter (lambda).
The wave length is measured in terms of meters (m) , centimeters (cm) , angstrom units (A
) nanometers (nm) ,
picometers (pm) and also in millimicrons (m).

The number of waves that pass-through a given point in one second is known as frequency of radiation. It
is denoted by the ‘v ’ (nue).
SI unit of frequency is per second (s
) or Hertz (Hz). A cycle is said to be completed when a wave consisting of
a crest and a trough passes through a point.
Distance travelled by the wave in one second is called velocity or speed of the wave (C).
SI unit is meters per second (ms
C of electromagnetic radiation in vaccum is a constant commonly called the speed of light and is denoted by ‘ c ’.It
is equal to 3 × 10
ms
Number of waves that can be present at any time in unit length is called wave number.
It is denoted by (nue bar).
It is the reciprocal of wave length.
Wave number = =
It is expressed in per centimeter (cm
) or per meter (m
The SI unit of wave number is m
Wave length, wave number 𝝂 ̅ , frequency 𝝂 and velocity c are related as follows
.
This theory was successful in explaining the properties of light such as interference, diffraction etc.
But it could not explain the following:
(i) The phenomenon of black body radiation.
(ii) The photoelectric effect.
(iii) The change heat capacity of solids as a function of T.
(iv) The line spectra of atoms with special reference to hydrogen.
These phenomena could be explained only if electromagnetic waves are supposed to have particle nature.
When a radiant energy falls on the surface of a body, a part of it is absorbed, a part of it is reflected and the
remaining energy is transmitted.
An ideal body is expected to absorb completely the radiant energy falling on it is known as a black body. A black
body is not only a perfect absorber but also a perfect emitter of radiant energy.
A hollow sphere coated inside with a platinum black, which has a small hole in its wall can act as a near black body.
The radiation emitted by a black body kept at high
temperature is called black body radiation. A black
body radiation is the visible glow that the solid object
gives off when heated.
A graph is obtained by plotting the intensity of
radiation against wave length gives the following

In order to explain black body radiation, Max Planck proposed quantum theory of radiation.

Total amount of energy emitted or absorbed by a body is some whole number multiple of quantum,
This means that a body can emit or absorb energy equal to hv, 2hv, 3hv..... Or any other integral multiple of
h. This is called quantization of energy.
When radiations with certain minimum frequency (ν 0
) strike the surface of a metal, the electrons are ejected
from the surface of the metal. It is called photoelectric effect , electrons emitted are called photoelectron.
