Quick Revision Points
- Thomson: positive sphere with embedded electrons (plum pudding)
- Rutherford: nucleus (dense, positive) + electrons in orbits. Limitation: electron should spiral in
- Bohr: electrons in fixed energy levels (shells K, L, M, N)
- Max electrons per shell: 2n² (K=2, L=8, M=18, N=32); outermost max 8
- Z = protons = electrons; A = protons + neutrons; neutrons = A − Z
- Isotopes: same Z, different A. Isobars: different Z, same A
- Valency: ≤ 4 → valency = outermost e⁻; > 4 → valency = 8 − outermost e⁻
Exam Tips for Chapter 4
- Read the detailed chapter notes for complete coverage of all NCERT topics.
- Practice all NCERT in-text and back exercise questions — they are frequently asked in exams.
- Focus on comparison tables, diagrams, and definitions — these are high-scoring areas.
- For numericals (if applicable), practice at least 20 problems of varying difficulty.
- Refer to the practice question bank (200+ questions) for thorough preparation.
