- Experiment of Rutherford’s Model of Atom: In 1911, Lord Rutherford performed a classic experiment.
Experiment
He studied the scattering of high speed α-particles which were emitted from a radioactive metal (radium or
polonium).
Setting
• A beam of α-particles was directed onto a gold foil of 0.00004 cm thickness as target through a pin-hole
in lead plate.
• A photographic plate or a screen coated with zinc sulphide was used as a detector.
• Whenever, an α-particle struck the screen, flash of light was produced at that point. It was observed that
most of the particles went through the foil undeflected. Some were deflected at fairly large angles and a
few were deflected backward.
Proposals
• Rutherford proposed that the rebounding particles must have collided with the central heavy portion of
the atom which he called as nucleus.
• On the basis of these experimental observations, Rutherford proposed the planetary model (similar to the
solar system) for an atom in which a tiny nucleus is surrounded by an appropriate number of electrons.
• Atom as a whole being neutral, therefore, the nucleus must be having the same number of protons as
there are number of electrons surrounding it.
- Measurement of e/m Value of Electron with apparatus and working
- Measurement of Charge on Electron-Millikan’s Oil Drop Method
- Define the Quantum numbers
- Spin Quantum Number:
In 1925, Goudsmit and Uhlenbech suggested that an electron while moving in an orbital around the nucleus also
rotates about its own axis either in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. This is also called self-rotation.
Opposite magnetic fields are generated by the clockwise and anti-clockwise spins of electrons.
Background
Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell. Their emission spectra are observed by means of high
resolving power spectrometer and each line in the spectrum is found to consist of pair of lines. This is called
doublet line structure. Lines of doublet line structure are widely separated from each other. This spin motion is
responsible for doublet line structure in the spectrum.
