11th standard students have sessions on atoms, physics, and chemistry, focusing on topics like atomic structure, periodic table, chemical bonding, and laws of motion. Lectures cover the history of atomic theory, from Democritus to John Dalton, and experiments by JJ Thompson to discover the properties, charge, and mass of electrons.

Insights

  • Dalton's atomic theory lacked explanations for isotopes and subatomic particles, highlighting its limitations in understanding atomic structure beyond the basic concept of indivisible atoms.
  • JJ Thomson's experiments with cathode rays and the subsequent Millican oil drop experiment led to the discovery of the charge and mass of electrons, showcasing the experimental process that revolutionized our understanding of atomic particles.

Discovery of Electron Charge and Mass

  • JJ Thompson conducted the Millican oil drop experiment to determine the mass-to-charge ratio of electrons by balancing the electric and magnetic fields, leading to the discovery of the value of e/m.
  • Observations from the experiment included the higher deflection with increased negative charge magnitude, indicating a direct relationship between charge magnitude and deflection in both electric and magnetic fields.
  • The charge of an electron was determined through Millikan's oil drop experiment, resulting in a mass of 9.1 x 10^-31 kg for the electron, showcasing the process of discovering the mass and charge of electrons through experimental methods.
