Structure of the Atom Class 9 Notes


The central nucleus of an atom, which is surrounded by electrons, is what makes up an atom. Protons and neutrons, which are relatively hefty particles, are found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the three primary particles present in an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The atom's nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. The outermost region of the electron, where it is located, is called the electron shell.

Atomic Structure: Different Models
Since the discovery of atoms, numerous innovative theories have been created by renowned scientists.

Here is a list of the main theories regarding atomic structure.

The Thomson Model
Apparently, J. J. Thomson, since electrons are entangled in the sphere like currants, the structure of an atom is similar to that of a Christmas pudding.

He suggested that

A positively charged sphere with contained electrons makes up an atom.
An atom is electrically neutral because the protons and electrons in it have similar masses.
Thomson Atomic Structure Model

Rutherford  Model
In an experiment, Rutherford irradiated a gold foil with alpha ()-particles.

Based on his observations of the alpha ()-particles' path after passing through an atom, he created a number of postulates for the experiment, including:

  • Most of the space in an atom is void since the particles quickly passed through the gold foil.
  • The nucleus, which is the positively charged centre of the atom, contains all of an atom's mass. The nucleus was attacked by 1,800 particles before they were deflected.
  • The path the electrons take as they orbit the centre is known.
  • In comparison to the size of the complete atom, the nucleus is small.
Through an experiment involving the scattering of alpha ()-particles on gold foil, Rutherford developed these hypotheses.

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many  In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of  One  and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a  singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the  plural . We can add  –S, -es, -ves or ies  to show that there is more than one noun.  For example,  we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of  Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use  s , es, ves or ies  in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with  –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss  form plurals by taking  –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
