Structure of the atom class 9 notes 

Structure of the atom class 9 notes are very important for those students who love chemistry (not with a girl) from ncert book

So in this article we let you take a look to structure of the atom class 9 notes and some extra questions and provide you a beautiful pdf in the last. 


Why structure of the atom class 9 chapter made? And why we are reading structure of the atom class 9 notes?


Atoms and molecules are fundamental building blocks of matter

In previous chapter we have read that atoms are indivisible but many questions were there contradictory 

When we rub two materials they attain a charge . Where does this charge come from?

How does current flow in a wire what is actually moving ?

After that a series of experiment revealed that atoms consisted of some more smaller particles called subatomic particles ie electrons protons neutrons.

Structure of the atom class 9 notes (Charged particles in Matter)

ELECTRONS 

Discovered by J.J. Thompson.

Negatively charged particle denoted by ‘e-’ 

Contains a charge of -1.6 X 10-16 

He performed a cathode ray experiment using a discharge tube in which he observed cathode rays. 


CATHODE RAYS - Cathode rays are negatively charged rays which are seen moving from the cathode towards the anode in a specially designed discharge tube , when a high potential difference is applied across the electrodes under very low pressure.

PROTONS 

Discovered by E.Goldstein in 1886

He also did the same experiment but the cathode was porous this time (since the protons were larger in size as compared to the electrons ) and observed anode rays or canal rays flowing in the opposite direction of cathode rays.

ANODE RAYS OR CANAL RAYS - Canal rays or anode rays are the positively charged rays which are seen moving from the anode towards cathode in specially designed discharge tubes when a high potential difference is applied among the electrodes.

Positively charged particles 

Denoted by ‘p+’

Contains a charge of +1.6 X 10-16

The mass of proton is approximately 2000 times that of electron.(perfect value is 1840)

NEUTRONS

Discovered by James Chadwick in 1932
Represented by ‘n’
Electrically neutral
Same mass as of a proton
Present in nucleus of an elements except hydrogen

CONCLUSION

The mass of proton is taken as 1 unit and its charge is taken as +1 

The mass of electrons is taken as negligible and its charge is taken as -1 unit.

STRUCTURE OF AN ATOM (structure of the atom class 9 notes)

(IMPORTANT TOPIC)

How are these subatomic particles placed in an atom? 


THOMSON'S MODEL OF AN ATOM (PLUM PUDDING MODEL)

J.J.Thompson was the first one to propose a model of structure of an atom

He said that the positive charge is uniformly distributed in an atom and negative particles are embedded in it 

Just like a pudding or a watermelon (red-edible part is positive charge and the seeds are negatively charged particles)

structure of the atom class 9 notes

POSTULATES

Following are the postulates of this model:-

  • Electrons are embedded in the sphere of positive charge.
  • The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude.Therefore, the atom as a whole is electrically neutral.
  • The mass of an atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed throughout the atom.


Limitations of Thomson's Model of an Atom

  • J.J. Thomson's model could not explain the experimental results of other scientists such as Rutherford, as there is no nucleus in the atomic model proposed by Thomson.
  • It could not explain the stability of an atom, i.e. how positive and negative charges could remain so close together.

RUTHERFORD'S MODEL OF AN ATOM 

Ernest Rutherford designed an experiment to know how the electrons are arranged within an atom. 


EXPERIMENT 

He bombarded thin sheets of gold foil with fast moving α-particles (these are doubly charged helium ions having a mass of 4 u). 

GOLD FOIL HI KYU? JYADA AMEER THA KYA? 😆

He selected a gold foil because he wanted a layer as thin as possible. This gold foil was about 1000 atoms thick. 


OBSERVATIONS

  • Most of the fast moving α-particles passed straight through the gold foil.
  • Some of the a-particles were deflected by the foil by small angles.
  • Very few a-particles (one out of 12000) appeared to rebound.

CONCLUSION 
  • Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the α-particles 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 α-particles deflected by 180° (they rebounded) indicating that all the mass and the positive charge of the atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.
structure of the atom class 9 notes

POSTULATES

  • There is a positively charged, highly dense centre in an atom, called the nucleus. Nearly, the whole mass of the atom resides in the nucleus.
  • The electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path.
  • The size of the nucleus (10-15 m) is very small as compared to the size of the atom (10-10m).{1 LAKH TIMES SMALLER} 

DID YOU KNOW?

Rutherford suggested that his model of atoms was similar to that of our solar system. In the solar system, the different planets are revolving around the Sun. In the same manner, in an atom the electrons are revolving around the nucleus. So, these electrons are also called planetary electrons.

LIMITATIONS
  • Any charged particle when acceleration is expected to radiate energy. To remain in a circular orbit, the electron would need to undergo acceleration. Therefore, it would radiate energy. Thus, the revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus.If this were so, the atom should be highly unstable. Therefore, matter would not exist, but we know matter exists. It means that atoms are quite stable. Thus, it could not explain the stability of an atom when charged electrons are moving under the attractive force of a positively charged nucleus.
  • Rutherford's model could not explain the distribution of electrons in the extra nuclear portion of the atom{nucleus ke alava bacha hua area}

BOHR'S MODEL OF AN ATOM 

POSTULATES
  • Atom consists of a positively charged nucleus around which electrons revolve in discrete orbits i.e. electrons revolve in permissible orbits and not just in any orbit.
  • Starting from the nucleus, energy levels (orbits) are represented by numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) or by alphabets (K, L, M, N etc.).
  • Energy of an electron remains the same as long as it remains in discrete orbit and it does not radiate energy while revolving.

DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONS IN ORBITS(BORE AND BURY SCHEME )

Rules for for writing the number of electrons in different shells:-

  • The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n², where n is the orbit number or energy level 1, 2, 3,....
  • Therefore, the maximum number of electrons in different shells are as follows: 
  1.     First orbit or K-shell = 2 × (1)² = 2
  2.     Second orbit or L-shell = 2 × (2)² = 8
  3.     Third orbit or M-shell = 2 x (3)² = 18 
  4.     Fourth orbit or N-shell = 2 × (4)² = 32 and so on.
  • The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8.
  • Electrons are not accommodated in a given shell, unless the inner shells are filled (i.e. the shells are filled in a stepwise manner).
ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION - The distribution of electrons in various shells of electrons.


VALENCY

In simple words valency is the combining capacity 
Valence shell - the outermost shell is known as the valence shell.
Valence electrons - the no. of electrons in the outermost shell.

HOW TO CALCULATE VALENCY?

STEP 1 - Calculate the electronic configuration to know the no. of valence electrons.

STEP 2 - for the elements having 1,2,3 or 4 valence electrons the no. valence electrons is the valency of the element {since they lose their valence electrons and form an octet }

OR

For the elements having 5,6,7 or 8 valence electrons the valency is (8- no. of valence electrons ) {since they they gain the electrons which are necessary to form an octet}  

NOBLE/INERT GASES - These the elements with zero valency and they have no combining capacity.
{Ye apni elements ki duniya ke millionaire log hote hai kisi se matlab nahi kisi se react nhi krte aur sab inke jaisa banana chahte hai octet form karke}

Structure of the atom class 9 notes (Atomic and Mass number)


ATOMIC NUMBER

No. of protons = the atomic number of the element

All the atoms of the same element have sae number of protons and hence same atomic number 

Denoted by ‘Z’    

p=Z 


MASS NUMBER

The sum of the number of protons and the number of protons (collectively known as nucleons) is known as mass number.

no. of protons + no. of neutrons = mass number

Denoted by ‘A’

A=p+n 


Structure of the atom class 9 notes (Different Atomic Species)


ISOTOPES
These are atoms of same elements which have same atomic number but different mass number. 
Eg. hydrogen has three isotopes
protium(1H1) , Deuterium(1H2), tritium(1H3)
Carbon has three isotopes 
6C17, 6C13,6C14

USES OF ISOTOPES

  • An isotope of uranium (U-235) is used as a fuel for the production of electricity in nuclear reactors. 
  • U-238 is used to determine the age of very old rocks and even the age of the earth. 
  • An isotope of cobalt (Co-60) is used in the treatment of cancer. 
  • An isotope of carbon (C-14) is used to determine the age of old specimens of wood or old bones of living organisms.
  • An isotope of iodine (1-131) is used in the treatment of goitre.


ISOBARS
Atoms of different elements with different atomic numbers but same mass number are known as isobars.
In other words, isobars are the atoms of different elements that have the same number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) but differ in the number of protons.

e.g. 18Ar40 and 20Ca40 are isobars.

Since, isobars have different atomic number as well as different electronic configuration. Thus, they also have different chemical properties.
