Structure of an ATOM
john dalton
Atom is the smallest unit of an element which can take part in reaction .
It was discovered by John Dalton, According to him Atom was the smallest particle which cannot be broken into two or more components .
But after some time after many experiments J.J.Thomson found that atom has a component called electron . Then Gold stein discovered proton & Chandwick discovered Nuetron .
An Atom has -
1) Electron
2) Proton
3) Nuetron
1) Electron -
They are also called as cathode rays .
There mass is 9.1*10 -31
There charge is 1.6*10-19
There relative charge is -1
2)Proton -
They are also called anode rays .
There mass is 1.672 *10 -27.
There charge is 1.6 * 10 -19.
There relative charge is 1 .
3)Nuetron -
There mass is 1.675*10-27
NUCLEAS
It was discovered by RUTHER FORD through his alpha particle scaterring experiment . No. of Proton in nucleas is equal to no. of of Electrons .
Mass number (A) = Electrons + protons
Daltons's Atomic Theory
The important postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
1. All elements are composed of atoms. Atom is too small so that it could not be divided into further simpler components.
2. Atom cannot be destroyed or produced.
3. Atoms of an element are similar in all respects. They have same mass and properties.
4. Atoms of different elements combine in a definite simple ratio to produce compounds.
Discovery of Electron
A discharge tube is a glass tube. It has two electrode, a source of electric current and a vacuum pump.
(Diagram)
Sir William Crooks (1895 performed experiments by passing electric current through gas in the discharge tube at very low pressure. He observed that at 10-4 (-4 is power to 10) atmosphere pressure, shining rays are emitted from cathode. These rays were named cathode rays. Cathode rays are material particles as they have mass and momentum.
Properties of Cathode Rays
The properties of these particles are given below:
1. These particles are emitted from cathode surface and move in straight line.
2. The temperature of the object rises on which they fall.
3. They produce shadow of opaque object placed in their path.
4. These particles are deflected in electric and magnetic fields.
5. These particles are deflected towards positive plate of electric field.

Discovery of Proton
Gold Stein (1886) observed that in addition to the cathode rays, another type of rays were present in the discharge tube. These rays travel in a direction opposite to cathode rays. These rays were named positive rays. By using perforated cathode in the discharge tube the properties of these rays can be studied. Positive rays are also composed of metered particles. The positive rays are not emitted from anode. They are produced by the ionization of residual gas molecules in the discharge tube. When cathode rays strike with gas molecule, electrons are removed and positive particles are produced.
Properties of Positive Rays
1. They are deflected towards negative plate of electric field. Therefore these rays carry positive charge.
2. The mass of positive rays is equal to the mass of the gas enclosed in the discharge tube.
3. The minimum mass of positive particles is equal to the mass of hydrogen ion (H+). These positive ions are called Protons.
4. The charge on proton is equal to +1.602x10-19 Coulomb. (-19 is power of 10)
Natural Radioactivity
The phenomenon in which certain elements emit radiation which can cause fogging of photographic plate is called natural radioactivity. The elements which omit these rays are called radioactive elements like Uranium, Thorium, Radium etc. There are about 40 radioactive elements. Henri Bequrel (1896) discovered radioactivity.Madam Curei also has valuable contribution in this field.
In natural radioactivity nuclei of elements are broken and element converted to other elements. Natural radioactivity is nuclear property of the elements.
Alpha Rays
1. They are helium nuclei. They are doubly positively charged, He2+.
2. They move with speed equal to the 1/10th of the velocity of the light.
3. They cannot pass through thick-metal foil.
4. They are very good ionizer of a gas.
5. They affect the photographic plate.
Atomic number
It is same as the no. of protons present in an element
It is as follows
