In the previous chapters, we explored the concept of electron spin. We began by introducing the idea of spin and then clarified that electrons do

35.THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE -OTHER SUB ATOMIC PARTICLES.
In this post we shall just get an overview of some recently discovered sub atomic particles.It was believed that the entire universe was made up
34.THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE- Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.
Werner Heisenberg, was a German theoretical physicist,who was studying under Sommerfield.Sommerfield knew about Heisenberg’s interest in Niels Bohr’s thesis and so he introduced him to
33. Schrödinger Equation.
The contention between Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr was carried forward and taken to a new level by their respective students – Erwin Schrödinger and Werner
32.THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE- Understanding de broglie’s thesis,Wave Mechanics vs Quantum Mechanics
In the last post we discussed how the de broglie’s hypothesis was validated by experimental data obtained from ,the double-slit experiment,performed by Davisson and Germer.
31. Experimental validation of De Broglie’s thesis.
Scrupulously proved to be true in theory, any scientific thesis cannot be considered absolute until it is proved by experimental data. As a theoretical physicist,
30. The Wave-Particle Duality.
There were a series of new developments in the field of atomic chemistry. These changes altered the way we look at the matter. As scientists
29. Discovery of neutron.
In the 19th century, the research on the structure of the atom was yielding incomprehensible results. Scientists worldwide were astounded by the revelations. However, this
28. Pauli’s exclusion principle, Aufbau Principle, Hund’s rule, Electronic Configurations.
THE NOBEL PRIZE. The Nobel Prize for Chemistry this year is awarded to three great chemists. They are Jean-Pierre Sauvage (University of Strasbourg, France), Sir
27. Quantum Numbers.
In the last post, we saw how quantum numbers were introduced to understand the structure of the atom. These quantum numbers describe all the necessary
26. The Sommerfield Model, Introduction of the Quantum Numbers.
We discussed in the previous post, that though the Bohr model succeeded in paving the way into the structure of the atom, it was not
25. The Bohr Model (3)
Niels Bohr brought a revolution by making necessary amendments to Rutherford’s nuclear model and later proposing his own model. The beauty of his predictions was
