Atomic Models
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Atomic models are the subject that examines the structure and evolution of the atom. This subject covers Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr and quantum mechanical models, the fundamental particles of the atom (protons, neutrons, electrons), spectral lines, and quantum numbers. TYT focuses on fundamental models, while AYT focuses on quantum theory and applications. The current 2025 curriculum also covers quantum computing and materials science. Learning this topic lays the foundation for modern physics and chemistry.
