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.

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...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
