The father of atomic theory in Indian Chemistry, Acharya Kanak, introduced the concept of the atom around 2500 years ago near Dwarka in Gujarat, defining the smallest particle as an "Anu" with 15 organization update rules. Valency, electron configuration, and electron balance are crucial for chemical reactions and compound formation, achieved through means like electrovalency, coordinate valency, and electron sharing (e.g., Chlorine's valency of -1).

Insights

  • Acharya Kanak, the pioneer of atomic theory in Indian Chemistry, established the concept of the atom as the "Anu" with 15 organizational rules governing valency and electron balance. These principles are fundamental for understanding chemical reactions and compound formation, showcasing the intricate nature of atomic interactions and bonding mechanisms.
  • Valency, a key aspect of atomic behavior, can be attained through different mechanisms like electrovalency, coordinate valency, and electron sharing. For instance, Chlorine's valency of -1 is achieved through electron sharing, highlighting the diverse methods through which atoms achieve stability and create compounds.
