Rutherford proposed the atomic model after his most striking experiment on
scattering leading to discovery of nucleus. Bohr later on modified the atomic model on
the basis of Planck’s quantum theory of light and proposed the concept of stationery circular
nh
orbit of quantized angular momentum . The collection of the line spectrum led
2
Sommerfeld to give the idea of elliptical orbits. He successfully explained the existence of
subshells and their number in a shell. The orbital angular momentum of subshells was
h
proposed as l l 1 . . the emission of a spectral line in atomic spectra was supposed to
2
be due to the jump of electron from one energy level to other.

nature of electron was established on the basis of photoelectric effect. When a photon strikes
the metal surface, it gives up its energy to the electron. Part of this energy (say W) is used by
the electrons to escape from the metal and the remaining imparts the kinetic energy (1/2 mu2)
to the photoelectron. The potential applied on the surface to reduce the velocity of
photoelectron to zero is known as stopping potential.

The electrons in a poly – electronic atom are filled one by one in order of increasing energy
level. The energy of subshells and orientation of orbitals depends upon the values of three
quantum numbers (i.e. n , l and m respectively) derived from Schrodinger wave equation.
The different orbitals of a subshells however posses same energy level and are called
degenerate orbitals but their energy level changes in presence of magnetic field and the
orbitals are non – degenerate. A spectral line is noticed if an electron jumps from one level to
other. The paramagnetic nature of element is due to the presence of unpaired electron.
