Concept of Shells and Subshells Concept of Shells and Subshells Introduction to Shells and Subshells In an atom, electrons are arranged in specific regions around the nucleus called shells. These shells, also referred to as energy levels, contain subshells, which further define the distribution of electrons. Shells are numbered as 1, 2, 3, and so … Read more
Rutherford Atomic Model Brief History In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand physicist, proposed the Rutherford model of the atom. He is renowned for his Gold Foil Experiment, which led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus. His model was a departure from J.J. Thomson’s “plum pudding” model and laid the groundwork for the modern … Read more
