11.1.1 Early models of atomThomson’s model of atomThomson’s model of atom In 1898, Joseph John Thomson suggested a model of an atom
that consists of homogenous positively charged spheres with tiny negatively charged electrons embedded throughout the sphere as shown in Figure 11.1.
The electrons much likes currants in a plum pudding. This model of the atom is called ‘plum pudding’ model of the
atom.

Rutherford’s model of atomRutherford’s model of atom In 1911, Ernest Rutherford performed a critical experiment that
showed the Thomson’s model is not correct and proposed his new atomic model known as Rutherford’s planetary model of the atom as shown in Figure 11.2a.
According to Rutherford’s model, the atom was pictured as electrons orbiting around a central nucleus which concentrated of positive charge.
The electrons are accelerating because their directions are constantly changing as they circle the nucleus.

PHYSICS CHAPTER 11

Based on the wave theory, an accelerating charge emits energy.
Hence the electrons must emit the EM radiation as they revolve around the nucleus.
As a result of the continuous loss of energy, the radii of the electron orbits will be decreased steadily.
This would lead the electrons spiral and falls into the nucleus, hence the atom would collapse as shown in Figure 11.2b.

In 1913, Neils Bohr proposed a new atomic model based on hydrogen atom.
According to Bohr’s Model, he assumes that each electron each electron moves in a circular orbit which is centred on the nucleusmoves in a circular orbit which is centred on the nucleus, the necessary centripetal force being provided by the centripetal force being provided by the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electroncharged nucleus and the negatively charged electron as shown in Figure 11.3.

On this basis he was able to show that the energy of an energy of an orbiting electron depends on the radius of its orbitorbiting electron depends on the radius of its orbit.
This model has several features which are described by the postulates (assumptions) stated below :
1. The electronselectrons move only in certain circular orbits, called STATIONARY STATESSTATIONARY STATES or ENERGY LEVELSENERGY LEVELS. When it is in one of these orbits, it does not radiate energydoes not radiate energy.
2. The only permissible orbits arepermissible orbits are those in the discrete set for which the angular momentum of the electron angular momentum of the electron LL
