Chapter 2 – Structure Of Atom
Chapter 2 – Structure of Atom explains the internal structure of atoms and the discoveries that led to modern atomic theory. It covers important experiments such as Thomson’s model, Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, and Bohr’s atomic model, which helped scientists understand the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus. The chapter also introduces fundamental particles—electrons, protons, and neutrons—and concepts like atomic number and mass number.
Students learn about electromagnetic radiation, atomic spectra, quantum numbers, electronic configuration, and orbitals (s, p, d, f). These concepts form the foundation for understanding chemical bonding and periodic properties. This chapter is highly important for CBSE board exams and competitive exams like NEET and JEE.
