INTRODUCTION
The classical view of atomic structure was constructed with the body of knowledge accumulated in physics over several centuries. We begin with the focus on atomic nucleus with its protons and neutron. This includes obtaining atomic masses and atomic number. Electrons are at the heart of our modern view of atomic structure.
This chapter, firstly provides experimental evidence for the picture of atom. After that it deals with nature of light and finally explains the behaviour of electrons in atoms leading to the modern view of atomic structure.

Chemistry : Structure of Atom
1. DALTON’S THEORY OF ATOM In 1807, John Dalton developed his atomic theory. According to this theory :
• An atom cannot be subdivided. • Atoms are neither created nor destroyed during chemical reactions. • Atoms of the same element are alike; in particular all atoms of an element have the
same mass. • Atoms of different elements are not alike; in particular, their masses are different.
1.1 REASON FOR FAILURE OF DALTON’S THEORY
In 1833, Michael Faraday showed that there is a relationship between matter and electricity. This was the first major break through to suggest that atom was not a simple indivisible particle of all matter but was made up of small particles. Discovery of electrons, protons and neutrons discarded the indivisible nature of atom proposed by John Dalton.
2. SUBATOMIC PARTICLES The researches done by various eminent scientists and the discovery of radioactivity have
established beyond doubt, that atom is not the smallest indivisible particle but had a complex structure of its own and was made up of still smaller particles like electrons, protons, neutrons etc. At present about 35 different subatomic particles are known but the three particles namely electron, proton and neutron are regarded as the fundamental particles.
We shall now take up the brief study of these fundamental particles.
2.1 CATHODE RAYS (DISCOVERY OF ELECTRON) Gases are normally poor conductor of electricity at ordinary or high pressure. However
when a tube filled with a gas is evacuated to a pressure of 0.01 mm Hg or lower and an electric potential is applied across a pair of electrodes into the tube discharge takes place between the electrodes during which a stream of rays moves from cathode to anode, William Crookes (1879) called these rays as cathode rays.
2.1a PROPERTIES OF CATHODE RAYS
1. Cathode rays travel in straight lines with a high speed approaching to that of light. Their linear propagation is shown by the fact that they caste shadows of the solid objects placed in their path.
2. They produce temperature rise in any object they strike. 3. They pass through thin films of metals but are stopped by thicker foils. 4. Cathode rays can produce mechanical effect e.g. when allowed to fall on a small
paddle wheel they cause rotation of wheel. This experiment shows that cathode rays consist of material particles.

5. The cathode rays can be deflected by electric and magnetic field. The direction of deflection is always such that these particles bear a negative charge.
6. Finally no matter what the nature of the cathode or the gas in the discharge tube, the negatively charged particles are always the same as reflected by the same e/m ratio by J.J. Thomson.
These particles constituting cathode rays have been named electron by J.J. Thomson. The fact that electrons are independent of the nature of source from which they come suggest that they are constituent of all elements.
Thomson determined e/m ratio of electrons by applying electric and magnetic field

2.2 POSITIVE RAYS (ANODE RAYS) OR CANAL RAYS Since electron is an essential constituent of atom and since atom as a whole is electrically
neutral. it follows that an equal magnitude of positive charge must be present in an atom. In 1886 Goldstein discovered that not only cathode rays composed of electrons moving towards anode are present but positive rays moving in opposite direction are also present. By perforating the cathode these positive rays can be made to pass through the hole.
2.2a PROPERTIES OF ANODE RAYS
(i) They are deflected in electric and magnetic field just as cathode rays but in the opposite direction showing that they consist of positively charged particles.
(ii) the charge and mass of the particles constituting anode rays vary and depend upon the nature of gas contained in the discharge tube.
(iii) Positive rays are not emitted by anode but originate between the electrodes from the ionization of gas atoms.
The mass of positively charged particle is virtually the same as that of the atoms from which they are derived, Wein (1898) determined the value of e/m for positive particles and found that it was different for different gases. When hydrogen gas was taken in the discharge tube, the lightest positively charge particle was found. It’s mass was nearly the same as that of H atom and carried a positive charge exactly equal and opposite to that of an electron. This positively charged particle was named proton.

3. VARIOUS ATOMIC MODELS
3.1 THOMSON’S MODEL
Based on these discoveries J.J. Thomson proposed the Plum Pudding Model. This model proposed that atoms are blobs of a positively charged jelly like material, with electrons suspended in it like raisins in a pudding.
3.2 RUTHERFORD’S MODEL
Rutherford allowed a narrow beam of α–particles to fall on a very thin gold foil (thickness = 4 × 10–4 cm) and
he observed (i) Majority of the -particles pass straight through the gold strip with little or no
deflection. α
(ii) Some -particles are deflected from their path and diverge. (iii) Very few -particles are deflected backwards through angles greater than 90°. (iv) Some were even scattered in the opposite direction at an angle of 180° [Rutherford was
very much surprised by it and remarked that "It was as incredible as if you fired a 15 inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you"].
3.2a CONCLUSIONS 1. The fact that most of the particles passed straight through the metal foil indicates the
most part of the atom is empty. α
2. The fact that few particles are deflected at large angles indicates the presence of a heavy positively charged body i.e., for such large deflections to occur -particles must have come closer to or collided with a massive positively charged body, and he named it nucleus.
αα
3. The fact that one in 20,000 have deflected at 180° backwards indicates that volume occupied by this heavy positively charged body is very small in comparison to total volume of the atom.

3.2b ATOMIC MODEL
Rutherford proposed an atomic model as follows. (i) All the protons (+ve charge) and the neutrons (neutral charge) i.e. nearly the total mass
of an atom is present in a very small region at the centre of the atom. The atom's central core is called nucleus.
(ii) The size of the nucleus is very small in comparison to the size of the atom. Diameter of the nucleus is about 10 while the atom has a diameter of the order 1 of cm. So, the size of atom is 10 times more than that of nucleus.

–80
(iii) Most of the space outside the nucleus is empty. (iv) The electrons, equal in number to the net nuclear positive charge, revolve around the
nucleus with high speed in various circular orbits. (v) The centrifugal force arising due to the high speed of an electron balances the
columbic force of attraction of the nucleus and the electron remains stable in its path. Thus according to him atom consists of two parts (a) nucleus and (b) extra nuclear part.
3.2C DEFECTS OF RUTHERFORD'S ATOMIC MODEL 1. Position of electrons : The exact positions of the electrons from the nucleus are not
mentioned. 2. Stability of the atom : Neils Bohr pointed out that Rutherford's atom should be highly
unstable. According to the law of electro-dynamics, the electron should therefore, continuously emit radiation and lose energy. As a result of this a moving electron will come closer and closer to the nucleus and after passing through a spiral path, it should ultimately fall into the nucleus.
It was calculated that the electron should fall into the nucleus in less than10 sec. But it is known that electrons keep moving outsided the nucleus.

To solve this problem Neils Bohr proposed an improved form of Rutherford's atomic model. Before going into the details of Neils Bohr model we would like to introduce you some
important atomic terms.
3.3 SOME IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF A ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
A wave is a sort of disturbance which originates from some vibrating source and travels outward as a continuous sequence of alternating crests and troughs. Every wave has five important characteristics, namely, wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), velocity (c), wave number ( )ν and amplitude (a).

Ordinary light rays, X–rays,γ–rays, etc. are called electromagnetic radiations because similar waves can be produced by moving a charged body in a magnetic field or a magnet in an electric field. These radiations have wave characteristics and do not require any medium for their propagation. (i) Wave length (λ) : The distance between two neighbouring troughs or crests is known
as wavelength. It is denoted by λ and is expressed in cm, m, nanometers (1nm=10–9m) or Angstrom (1Å=10–10m).
(ii) Frequency (ν) : The frequency of a wave is the number of times a wave passes through a given point in a medium in one second. It is denoted by ν(nu) and is expressed in cycles per second (cps) or hertz (Hz) 1Hz = 1cps.
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wave length (λ)
ν ∝ 1λ
or ν = cλ
(iii) Velocity : The distance travelled by the wave in one second is called its velocity. It is denoted by c and is expressed in cm sec–1.
c = νλ or λ = cν
(iv) Wave number ( : It is defined as number of wavelengths per cm. It is denoted by )ν
ν and is expressed in cm–1.
ν = 1λ
(or) ν = cν
(v) Amplitude: It is the height of the crest or depth of the trough of a wave and is denoted by a. It determines the intensity or brightness of the beam of light.
If all the components of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) are arranged in order of decreasing or increasing wavelengths or frequencies, the pattern obtained is known as Electromagnetic Spectrum. The following table shows all the components of light.

3.4 ATOMIC SPECTRUM Electromagnetic spectrum consist of radiations of different wavelength and frequencies. An
instrument used to separate the radiations of different wavelength is called spectroscope or spectrograph. It consist of a prism or diffraction grating for dispersion of radiations and a telescope to examine the emergent radiations. In spectroscope the telescope is replaced by photographic film. 1. Emission Spectrum: When the radiation emitted from some source e.g. from the sun
or by passing electric discharge to high temperature is passed through prism and then received on photographic plate the spectrum obtained is known as emission spectrum.
Emission spectra are as two types: (a) Continuous Spectra : When white light from any source such as sun a bulb or hot
glowing body is analysed by passing through the prism. It is observed that it splits up into seven different wide band of colours. These colours are so continuous that each merges into the next. Hence spectrum is continuous spectrum.
(b) Line Spectra : When some volatile salt like NaCl is placed in Bunsen Burner or an electric discharge is passed through a gas. Light is emitted if this light is resolved and passed in a spectroscope. It is found that no continuous spectrum is obtained but isolated lines are obtained. This spectrum is called line spectrum. Each line corresponds to a wavelength.
(2) Absorption Spectra : When white light from any source is first passed through the solution or vapours of a chemical substance and than analysed by spectroscope. It is observed that some dark lines are obtained. These dark lines are supposed to result from the fact that when white light is passed through chemical substance radiations of certain wavelength are absorbed. Dark lines are obtained at same place where coloured lines were obtained in emission spectra.
3.4a HYDROGEN SPECTRUM
If an electric discharge is passed through hydrogen gas taken in a discharge tube under low pressure, and the emitted radiation is analysed with the help of spectrograph, it is found to consist of a series of sharp lines in the UV, visible and IR regions. This series of lines is known as line or atomic spectrum of hydrogen. The lines in the visible region can be directly seen on the photographic film.
Each line of the spectrum corresponds to a light of definite wavelength. The entire spectrum consists of six series of lines each series, known after their discoverer as the Balmer, Paschen, Lyman, Brackett, Pfund and Humphrey series. The wavelength of all these series can be expressed by a single formula.

3.5 PLANCK’S QUANTUM THEORY OF RADIATION In order to explain the spectral distribution of energy radiated by a back body. Max Planck
(1901) put forward quantum theory of radiation. According to this theory. (i) Radiant energy is emitted or absorbed discontinuously in the form of tiny bundles or
packets known as quanta or photon. (ii) The energy of a quantum is directly proportional to the frequency of the radiation
E ∝ v E = hv v = frequency of radiation h = planck’s constant
(iii) A body can emit or absorb energy only in whole number multiples of quantum i.e 1hv, 2hv, etc.
Energy in fractions of a quantum cannot be lost or absorbed. this is known as quantization of energy.
Illustration 1: Calculate the frequency and wave number of radiation with wavelength 480 nm.

3.6 BOHR’S ATOMIC MODEL Bohr developed a model for hydrogen and hydrogen like atoms one-electron species
(hydrogenic species). He applied quantum theory in considering the energy of an electron bond to the nucleus.

3.6a IMPORTANT POSTULATES
An atom consists of a dense nucleus situated at the center with the electron revolving around it in circular orbits without emitting any energy. The force of attraction between the nucleus and an electron is equal to the centrifugal force of the moving electron.
Of the finite number of circular orbits possible around the nucleus, and electron can revolve only in those orbits whose angular momentum (mvr) is an integral multiple of factor h/ . 2π
nhmvr2
=π
where, m = mass of the electron v = velocity of the electron
n = orbit number in which electron is present
r = radius of the orbit
As long as an electron is revolving in an orbit it neither loses nor gains energy. Hence these orbits are called stationary states. Each stationary state is associated with a definite amount of energy and it is also known as energy levels. The greater the distance of the energy level from the nucleus, the more is the energy associated with it. The different energy levels are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, (from nucleus onwards) or K, L, M,N etc.
Ordinarily an electron continues to move in a particular stationary state without losing energy. Such a stable state of the atom is called as ground state or normal state.
If energy is supplied to an electron, it may jump (excite) instantaneously from lower energy (say 1) to higher energy level (say 2, 3, 4, etc) by absorbing one quantum of energy. This new state of electron is called as excited state. The quantum of energy absorbed is equal to the difference in energies of the two concerned levels.
Since the excited state is less stable, atom will lose it’s energy and come back to the ground state.
Energy absorbed or released in an electron jump, is given by ( E)∆
2 1E E – E hv∆ = =
Where E and are the energies of the electron in the first and second energy levels, and v is the frequency of radiation absorbed or emitted.
2 1E
Note: If the energy supplied to hydrogen atom is less than 13.6 eV, it will accept or absorb only those quanta which can take it to a certain higher energy level i.e., all those photons having energy less than or more than a particular energy level will not be absorbed by hydrogen atom. But if energy supplied to hydrogen atom is more than 13.6 eV then all photons are absorbed and excess energy appear as kinetic energy of emitted photo electron.
3.6b MERITS OF BOHR’S THEORY (i) The experimental value of radii and energies in hydrogen atom are in good agreement
with that calculated on the basis of Bohr’s theory.

(ii) Bohr’s concept of stationary state of electron explains the emission and absorption spectra of hydrogen like atoms.
(iii) The experimental values of the spectral lines of the hydrogen spectrum are in close agreement with the calculated by Bohr’s theory.
3.6C LIMITATIONS OF BOHR’S THEORY (i) It does not explain the spectra of atoms or ions having more than one electron. (ii) Bohr’s atomic model failed to account for the effect of magnetic field (Zeeman effect)
or electric field (Stark effect) on the spectra of atoms or ions. It was observed that when the source of a spectrum is placed in a strong magnetic or electric field, each spectral line further splits into a number of lines. This observation could not be explained on the basis of Bohr’s model.
(iii) de-Broglie suggested that electrons like light have dual character. It has particle and wave character. Bohr treated the electron only as particle.
(iv) Another objection to Bohr’s theory came from Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. According to this principle “it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and momentum of a small moving particle like an electron”. The postulate of Bohr, that electrons revolve in well defined orbits around the nucleus with well defined velocities is thus not attainable.

charge `e’ revolving around a nucleus of charge Ze (where, Z = atomic number and e is the charge of the proton) with a tangential velocity v.r is the radius of the orbit in which electron is revolving.

(iv) Explanation for hydrogen spectrum by Bohr’s theory: According to the Bohr’s theory electron neither emits nor absorbs energy as long as it stays in a particular orbit. However, when an atom is subjected to electric discharge or high temperature, and electron in the atom may jump from the normal energy level, i.e., ground state to some higher energy level i.e., excited state. Since the life time of the electron in excited state is short, it returns to the ground state in one or more jumps.
During each jumps, energy is emitted in the form of a photon of light of definite wavelength or frequency. The frequency of the photon of light thus emitted depends upon the energy difference of the two energy levels concerned ( ) and is given by 1 2n , n

4. PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT Emission of electrons from a metal surface when exposed to light radiations of appropriate
wavelength is called photoelectric effect. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. Work function or threshold energy may be defined as the minimum amount of energy

intensity of incident light. (ii) The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is directly proportional to the
frequency of incident radiation; moreover, it is independent of the intensity of light used.
(iii) There is no time lag between incidence of light and emission of photoelectrons. (iv) For emission of photoelectrons, the frequency of incident light must be equal to or
greater than the threshold frequency. Illustration 9 : Photo - electrons are liberated by ultraviolet light of wavelength 3000Å from

5. PARTICLE AND WAVE NATURE OF ELECTRON In 1924, de Broglie proposed that an electron, like light, behaves both as a material particle
and as a wave. This proposal gave birth to a new theory known as wave mechanical theory of matter. According to this theory, the electrons, protons and even atoms, when in motion, possess wave properties.
de Broglie derived an expression for calculating the wavelength of the wave associated with the electron.
According to Planck’s equation

de Broglie waves are not radiated into space, i.e. they are always associated with electron. The wavelength decreases if the value of mass (m) increases, i.e., in the case of heavier particles, the wavelength is too small to be measured. de Broglie equation is applicable in the case of smaller particles like electron and has no significance for larger particles.
5.2 BOHR’S THEORY VERSUS DE BROGLIE EQUATION
One of the postulates of Bohr’s theory is that angular momentum of an electron is an
integral multiple of h2π
. This postulate can be derived with the help of de Broglie concept
of wave nature of electron.
Consider an electron moving in a circular orbit around nucleus. The wave train would be associated with the circular orbit as shown in figure.
(a) (b)
(a) The number of waves around the orbit is a whole number (6) times the wavelength.
(b) The number of waves around the orbit is not a whole number multiple of the wavelength.
When the wave goes around the orbit many times, it cancles itself out.

If the two ends of the electron wave meet to give a regular series of crests and troughs, the electron wave is said to be in phase, i.e., the circumference of Bohr’s orbit is equal to whole number multiple of the wavelength of the electron wave.

6. HEISENBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE For heavier objects, the velocity and their position can be measured accurately at any instant
of time but same is not the case for subatomic particles. As a consequence of dual nature of matter, Heisenberg in 1927 gave a principle about the uncertainties in simultaneous measurement of position and momentum of small particles.
This principle states that “It is impossible to measure simultaneously the position and momentum of a small
microscopic moving particle with absolute accuracy or certainty i.e. if an attempt is made to

measure any one of these two quantities with higher accuracy the other becomes less accurate”
Mathematical expression for the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is simply written as
x . p h / 4∆ ∆ ≥ π
where ∆ = p m v∆
Explaination of Heisenberg uncertainty Principle : Suppose we attempt to measure both the position and momentum of an electron, to pinpoint the position of the electron we have to use light so that the photon of light strikes the electron and the reflected photon is seen in the microscope. As a result of the hitting, the position as well as the velocity of the electron are disturbed. The accuracy with which the position of the particle can be measured depends upon the wavelength of light used the uncertainty in position is ±λ . The shorter the wavelength, the greater is the accuracy. But shorter wavelength means higher frequency and hence higher energy. So if position is fixed velocity will not be fixed.
Illustration 14 : Why electron cannot exist inside the nucleus according to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle?
Solution : Diameter of the atomic nucleus is of the order of 10–15m
The maximum uncertainty in the position of electron is 10–15 m.

This equation implies in essence that a body of mass m, velocity v, potential energy U and total energy E has a wave associated with it of an amplitude given by wave function Ψ. The schrodinger equation has an infinite many solution. For any physical situation Ψ must be finite, single valued and continuous. The particular values of Ψ which yield satisfactory solution of above equation are called wave functions. Wave function for an electron is called an atomic orbital. Each solution is identified by three quantum numbers. A set of three quantum numbers is needed to describe an electron because electrons in atoms are moving in three dimensional space.

SolveProbability of finding electron
for electron this wave function is known as atomic orbital
The wave function Ψ has got no meaning but the square of the wave function Ψ2 is a
mathematical expression of how the probability of finding an electron in a small volume varies from place to place. Square of wave function is like the square of amplitude of an electromagnetic wave. The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is proportional to square of amplitude.
8. QUANTUM NUMBERS To understand the concept of Quantum Numbers, we must know the meaning of some terms
clearly so as to avoid any confusion.
Energy Level: The non-radiating energy paths around the nucleus are called as Energy Levels of Shells. These are specified by numbers having values 1, 2, 3, 4, ... or K, L, M, N, ... in order of increasing energies. The energy of a particular energy level is fixed.
Sub-Energy Level: The phenomenon of splitting of spectral lines in electric and magnetic fields reveals that there must be extra energy levels within a definite energy level. These were called as Sub-Energy Levels or Sub-Shells. There are four types of sub-shells namely; s, p, d, f.
First energy level (K or ) has one sub-shell designated as 1s, the second energy level (L or 2) has two sub-shell as 2s & 2p, the third energy level (M or 3) has three sub shell as 3s, 3p and 3d, and the fourth energy level (N or 4) has four sub-shells as 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f. The energy of sub-shell increases roughly in the order: s < p < d <f.
Orbital: Each sub-energy level (sub-shell) is composed of one or more orbitals. These orbitals belonging to a particular sub-shell have equal energies and are called as degenerate orbitals. s-sub-shell has one orbital, p has three orbitals, d have five orbitals and f has seven orbitals.

To describe or to characterize the electrons around the nucleus in an atom, a set of four numbers is used, called as Quantum Numbers. These are specified such that the states available to the electrons should follows the laws of quantum mechanics or wave mechanics.
8.1 PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER: (n)
This quantum number represents the main energy levels (principal energy levels) designated as n = 1, 2, 3, ... or the corresponding shells are named as K, L, M, N, ... respectively. It gives an idea of position and energy of an electron. The energy level n = 1 corresponds to minimum energy and subsequently n = 2, 3, 4, ..., are arranged in order of increasing energy.
Higher is the value of n, greater is its distance from the nucleus, greater is its size and also greater is its energy.
It also gives the total electrons that may be accommodated in each shell, the capacity of each shell is given by the formula , where n : principal quantum number. 22n
8.2 AZIMUTHAL QUANTUM NUMBER: (l)
This number determines the energy associated with the angular momentum of the electron about the nucleus. It is also called as the angular momentum quantum number. It accounts for the appearance of groups of closely packed spectral lines in electric field.
It can assume all integral values from 0 to n–1. The possible values of l are :
0, 1, 2, 3, ..., n–1. Each value of l describes a particular sub-shell in the main energy level and determines the
shape of the electron cloud. When n = 1, l = 0, i.e., its energy level contains one sub-shell which is called as a s-sub-
shell. So for l = 0, the corresponding sub-shell is a s-sub-shell. Similarly when l = 1, 2, 3, the sub-shells are called p, d, f sub-shells respectively.
As you known for n = 1, l = 0, there is only one sub-shell. It is represented by 1s. Now for n = 2, l can take two values (the total number of values taken by l is equal to the value of n in a particular energy level). The possible values of l are 0, 1. The two sub-shell representing the IInd energy level are 2s, 2p. In the same manner, for n = 3, three sub-shells are designated as 3s, 3p, 3d corresponding to l = 0, 1, 2, and for n = 4, four sub-shells are designated as 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f corresponding to l = 0, 1, 2, 3.
The orbital Angular momentum of electron = h( 1)2
+π
.
Note that its value does not depend upon value of n.
8.3 MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER (m) An electron with angular momentum can be thought as an electric current circulating in a
loop. A magnetic field due to this current is observed. This induced magnetism is determined by the magnetic quantum number. Under the influence of magnetic field, the electrons in a given sub-energy level prefer to orient themselves in certain specific regions

in space around the nucleus. The number of possible orientations for a sub-energy level is determined by possible values of m corresponds to the number of orbitals in a given sub-energy level).
m can have any integral values between –l to +l including 0, i.e., m = –l, 0 +, l, …, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . ., l–1 + l. We can say that a total of (2l + 1) values of m are there for a given value of l– 2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3.
In s sub-shell there is only one orbital [l = 0, ⇒ m = (2l +1) = 1]. In p sub-shell there are three orbitals corresponding to three values of m : –1, 0 +1. [l = 1
m = (2l +1) = 3]. These three orbitals are represented as along X, Y, Z axes perpendicular to each other. ⇒ x yp , p , pz
In d sub-shell, there are five orbitals corresponding to –2, –1, 0 +1, +2, [l = 2 m = ( . These five orbitals are represented as . ⇒ 2 2 1) 5]× + = 2 2

In f sub-shell there are seven orbitals corresponding to –3, –2, –1, 0, +1, +2, +3 [l = 3 m = . ⇒ (2 3 1) 7]× + =
8.4 SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER (s) When an electron rotates around a nucleus it also spins about its axis. If the spin is
clockwise, its spin quantum number is +1/2 and is represented as ↑ . If the spin is anti-clockwise, its value is –1/2 and is represented as ↓ . If the value of s is +1/2, then by convention, we take that electron as the first electron in that orbital and if the value of s is –1/2, it is taken as second electron.

9. RULES FOR FILLING ELECTRONS
9.1 AUFBAU PRINCIPLE The aufbau principle states that in the ground state of an atom, the orbital with a lower energy is filled up first before the
filling for the orbital with a higher energy commences. In other words : The electrons enter the various orbitals in the order of increasing energy.

9.2 PAULI'S EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE This an important generalisation given by Wolfgang Pauli, in 1925, which determines the
maximum number of electrons that an energy level can accommodate. Pauli's exclusion principle states that It is impossible for any two electrons in the same atom to have all the four quantum numbers
identical. Thus, in the same atom, any two electrons may have three quantum numbers identical but the
fourth must be different. This principle is very useful in determining the maximum number of electrons that can occur in any shell/sub shell. For K-shell, for instance, since n=1, can have only one value (viz., 0) and m can also have only one value (viz., 0). Hence s can be either +1/2 or -1/2. Thus, there are two combinations of the quantum number, as shown below:
n =1 = o m = 0 s = +1/2 n =1 = o m = 0 s = -1/2 This shows that in the K-shell, there is only one subshell = 0 and there are only two
electrons of opposite spins. For L-shell, since n = 2, can have two values ( 0 and 1,) m can have one value of = 0 and
three values of =1 (-1,0 and +1) and s can have two values (=+1/2 and-1/2) for each value of m. These possibilities would give rise to eight combinations of the four quantum numbers, keeping in view the exclusion principle . The maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by 2n2.
9.3 HUND'S RULE OF MAXIMUM MULTIPLICITY This rule states that Electron pairing in orbitals of same energy (degenerate orbitals) will not take place unless
all the available orbitals of a given subshell contain one electron each with parallel spin. For example, we know that there are three p orbitals (px, py and pz) of the p-subshell in a
principle energy level. According to Hund's rule, each of the three p orbitals must get one electron each of parallel spin before any one of them gets the second electron of opposite spin as shown below
9.4 RULE OF EXTRA STABILITY OF COMPLETELY HALF FILLED OR COMPLETELY FILLED ORBITAL
When the energy of a wave function is evaluated by using the appropriate Schrodinger equation, two types of energies, viz., Colulomb and exchange energies, are involved. The coulomb energy is a measure of the mean repulsion of two electrons occupying different orbitals, the exchange energy is the lowering of energy for a set of two electrons of parallel spin which arises as a result of in distinguish ability of the electron coordinates. For a system containing more than two electrons of parallel spin, the lowering of energy due to exchange of electrons is given by
∆E = N × K

where N is the total number of possible exchanges of coordinates between sets of two electrons of parallel spin and K is the average exchange energy per set of electrons of parallel spin. For a system containing n electrons of parallel spin. For a system containing n electrons of parallel spin, N is given by
n!N2(n 2)!
=−
The exchange energies for the two possible configurations of Cr are as follows: 3d4, 4s2 n = 5 ∆E = 10K 3d5, 4s1 n = 6 ∆E = 15K that is, the exchange energy stabilization of 3d5, 4s1 configuration is larger than 3d4, 4s2
configuration. Besides this, since the two electrons with parallel spins remain farther apart than two electrons with opposed spins, the Columbic repulsion energy is also smaller in case of two parallel spins. Thus the configuration 3d54s1, which contains more number of parallel spins, is more stable than 3d54s2. The stability of the 3d104s1 configuration for the copper atom may be explained in the same way.
Thus, it may be concluded that the unusual stability of electronic configurations involving half-filled and completely filled orbitals is due to the larger exchange energy and lesser columbic repulsion.
The simplified explanation of the above illustration is given below : Exchange Energy : This stabilizing effect arises whenever two or more electrons with the
same spin are present in the degenerate orbitals of a subshell. These electrons tend to exchange their positions and the energy released due to this exchange is called exchange energy. The number of exchanges that can take place is maximum when the subshell is either half filled or completely filled (Figure given below). As a result the exchange energy is maximum and so is the stability.

filled and the maximum number of electrons in a shell, sub-shell or orbital. The configuration so obtained can be represented in two ways. As an illustration, let us consider fluorine (Z = 9):

Importance of knowing the exact electronic configuration of an element lies in the fact that
the chemical properties of an element are dependent on the behaviour and relative arrangement of its electrons.

10. SHAPES AND SIZES OF ORBITALS By shape of an orbital we mean the shape of the region in space in which there is probability
of finding an electron. It is basically determined by the azimuthal quantum number ( ), while the orientation of an orbital depends on the magnetic quantum number (m). The size of an orbital increases with the value of the principal quantum number (n). Shapes of orbitals in the various sub-shells are as discussed below:
The place where probability of finding an electron is 0 (Ψ = 0) is known as node and a plane passing through node is known as nodal plane.

Total number of nodal planes = There are two types of nodes:
(i) Radial node: These are the points at some distance from the nucleus where there is zero probability of finding the electrons. S-orbital being spherically symmetric and hence non-directional, can’t have angular node. (i.e. points where ) 2 24 r 0π Ψ =
(ii) Angular nodes: These are directional in nature so these are associated with p and d orbitals.

10.1 s – ORBITALS s - orbitals ( = 0) : The orbitals are spherical and
symmetrical about the nucleus. There is vacant space between two successive s-orbitals, known as ‘radial node’. Due to nucleus symmetricity, these are non-directional.

Schrodinger equation is written in terms of Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z). If electron moves at a distance from the stationary nucleus and atom is spherical in shape. If the position of electron is expressed in polar coordinates (r, θ, φ), the schrodinger equation can be solved easily.
The Cartesian coordinates can be converted to polar coordinates by following relation. x = r sin θ cos φ y = r sin θ sin φ

z = r cos θ and also, x2 + y2 + z2 = r2 When Schrodinger equation is solved in polar coordinates, for hydrogen atom. It gives the
possible energy states and corresponding wave function [Ψ (r, θ, φ)], called atomic orbitals. The schrodinger equation cannot be exactly solved for a multi electron atom.
Atomic Orbitals and their Pictorial Representation : An atomic orbital is an electron wave function, Ψ (r, θ, φ) obtained from the solution of the schrodinger equation. Wave function Ψ is a mathematical function of the three coordinates of electron (r, θ, φ). This wave functionΨ can be written into three separate parts each of which is a function of only one coordinate.
Ψ = f(r, θ, φ) Ψ (r, θ, φ) = R(r), α(θ), ω(φ) R is function of r, α is function of θ and ω is function of φ. Where, R is radial function and α and ω are angular function. The radial function depends
on quantum numbers n and . The angular function depends on and m.
Significance of Wave Function Ψ : The orbital wave function Ψ has no physical significance. It is the square of the absolute value of wave function |Ψ|2, which has a physical significance. It measure the electron probability density at a point in an atom.
If the variations of Ψ or |Ψ|2 with r, θ, φ are to be observed graphically. It would need a four dimensional graph in space but on the plane of paper we can draw only two dimensional graph to overcome this difficult.
We draw separate diagrams for (i) Variation of radial function (ii) Variation of Angular function R is known as radial wave function R2 is known as radial probability density and 4π2r2R2 is known as radial probability.
11.1 FUNCTION VARIATION OF RADIAL FUNCTION (i) Plot of Radial Wave Function (R) vs r: In all cases R approaches zero as r
approaches infinity. There is a node (where the probability of finding electron is zero) in 2s orbital radial function. At the node the value of radial function changes from positive to negative for 2s orbital. In general ns orbitals have (n – 1) nodes.

In the quantum mechanics there is operator ˆ(A) for every physically observable property like momentum(linear or angular), position, K.E., total energy etc., and whenever the function (ψ) is operated upon bythe operator of any property , we get back ψ multiplied by a constant (a) which is the value of theproperty under consideration. The function ψ obeying the condition is called eigenfunction of the operator
A and the constant “a” is called eigen-value. Mathematically
A aψ = ⋅ψThis equation is called eigen-value equation.The Schrodinger wave equation is the energy eigen value equation. The operator for total energy iscalled Hamiltonion operator (H) defined as
