BOHR S MODEL OF ATOM
BOHR’S MODEL OF
ATOM
MADE BY:-GROUP-1{CHEMISTRY}

About The Scientist…….






HE was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
He was born in Copenhagen on 7 October 1885.
He wrote many books like the theory of spectra and atomic constitution, atomic theory and the description of nature.

NEILS BOHR (1885-1962)

His model of atom….
Bohar’s model of atom can be described as follows: An atom is made up of three particles-electrons, protons and neutrons.  The protons and neutrons are located in a small nucleus at the centre of the atom.
 The electrons revolve rapidly round the nucleus in fixed circular paths called energy levels or shells.
 There is a limit to the number of electrons which each energy level can hold.
 Each energy level is associated with fixed amount of energy.
 There is no change in the energy of electrons as long as they keep revolving in the same energy level, and the atom remains stable.

Postulates….


In order to overcome the objections raised against
Rutherford’s model of atom,Neils
Bohr put forward the following postulates:Only certain special orbits known as discrete orbits of electrons are allowed inside the atom.
 While revolving in discrete orbits the electrons do not radiate energy.


Difference between Rutherford’s and
Bohar’s model of atom..




In Rutherford's model of atom the nucleus is present at the centre of atoms and electrons reside outside the nucleus and revolve around the nucleus In well defined orbits.
The size of the nucleus is very small in comparison to the size of an atom.



In bohr’s model of atom the nucleus is present at the centre of atoms and electrons reside outside the nucleus and revolve around the nucleus in well defined orbits. The electrons do not radiate energy.

    The word atom is derived from the Greek word atom which means indivisible. The Greeks concluded that matter could be broken down into particles too small to be seen. These particles were called atoms. Atoms are composed of three types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electron. Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass. Example; if a person weighed 150 lbs. approximately 149 lbs. and 15 ounces of that person would be comprised of protons and neutrons while only 1 ounce of their being would be made of electrons. Both the protons and neutrons reside within the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge; they are neutral. Electrons reside in orbitals around the nucleus and have a negative charge.…

    Although Joseph John (J.J.) Thomson (1856 - 1940) was mainly a physicist, his discoveries are closely connected to the chemical community. Thomson used Crookes high vacuum cathode ray tube in his discovery of electrons. He found the green beam produced by the cathode ray tube was a completely negatively charged material. Experimenting with different electrically charged plates and magnets in the cathode ray tube and observing the deflection of the rays he had enough evidence to say that particles smaller than atoms existed. By doing this experiment multiple times he compiled enough data to conclude that the mass of one of these particles, which he called an electron, was lighter than an atom of hydrogen by around 2,000 times. He also found the ratio of charge to mass (e/m) would be the same for any electron.…

    Although John Dalton was the scientist to discover the first scientific theory of an atom, J.J Thomson was next to research the atom. While evaluating Daltons work, he found that atoms are not indivisible. He experimented and found that when the atom is excited by an electrical current it causes the atom to break apart into two parts. Then to further explain his findings, Thomson created a model which was called the Plum-pudding atom. In the model the “plums” are the negatively charged electrons, while the “pudding” is the mass of positive…

    Every element’s atoms are composed of three main subatomic particles: neutrons, electrons and protons. Located in the atom’s nucleus, protons and neutrons are referred to as nucleons. The electrons rest outside of the nucleus at various energy levels (orbitals). Most of an atom's mass comes from its very small nucleus, whose protons and neutrons each have a mass of approximately 1 u (atomic mass units). Electrons, on the other hand, have a mass of around 0.0005 u – almost negligible compared to the masses of a nucleon. Each subatomic particle carries a specific charge. Electrons are considered negatively charged (-1 unit charge), protons are considered positively charged (+1 unit charge), and neutrons, as their name suggests, remain neutral with 0 unit charge.…

    In this experiment, you will have a chance to test the hypothesis that Ernest Rutherford used when determining the size of the nucleus. In his "gold foil experiment," Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold atoms. Once he realized that the alpha particles were hitting a concentrated positive mass, he developed the nuclear model of the atom. Next, he set out to determine the relative size of the nucleus compared to the rest of the atom. He reasoned that the smaller the nucleus, the less likely it was to be hit by an alpha particle. This led to a simple comparative ratio:…
