and the electrons revolve around it in circular paths called

2, 3, 4 etc. which are represented by letters K, LM, N etc.B. As long as an electron is revolving in a particular stationary orbit, it
can neither lose or gain energy. Thus, atom is
The change in energy of electron takes place only when an electron
moves from one energy shell to another. Also, this change in energy is
not continuous but discontinuous.

Drawbacks of Bohr'’s Atomic Model
Bohr’s model was only applicable to hydrogen and hydrogen like
species He*, Li?* etc. It failed to explain the spectrum of multielectron
atoms.
Each spectral line, when examined at higher magnification, actually
consists of a number of smaller fine lines. These are referred to as,
hyperfine spectral lines. Bohr's model does not explain the presence of
hyperfine lines.
Drawbacks of Bohr’s Atomic Model
If the source emitting the radiation in line spectrum is placed in
magnetic field (Zeeman Effect) and electric field (Stark effect) the
spectral lines further split.

Selectron can also behave as a wave
Infact, every matter (particulate in nature of made from particles) when
in motion shows wave-like properties . These waves are called matter
waves or de Broglie waves.
Till now, we know:

Birth of Quantum Mechanics @
Classical mechanics failed to explain the motion of microscopic
particles or quantum particles like electrons.
This is because it did not take into account the dual behaviour of
matter (de Broglie hypothesis) and Heisenberg uncertainty
principle into account.
Hence, a new branch of science came into existence called
Quantum Mechanics.
Quantum mechanics is a theoretical science that deals with the
study of the motions of the microscopic objects that have both
observable wave like and particle like properties

Aufbau Principle
The word ‘Aufbau’ in German means ‘building up’.
The building up of orbitals means filling the orbitals with electrons.
In ground state of atoms, the orbitals are filled with electrons in
order of their increasing energies.
In other words, electrons first occupy the lowest energy orbital
available to them and then enter into high energy orbitals only
when low energy orbitals are filled

‘> If anelectron has specific values of 4 quantum number then other electrons
are EXCLUDED to have the exact same values of 4 quantum numbers.
> In 1926, Pauli stated that, “No two electrons of a multielectron atom can have
the same set of four quantum numbers.”
But how this is possible?
Conclusion:
2) Now, no more electron is possible in accordance to Pauli’s exclusion principle.
|{ii) It means an orbital can’t contain: n 2 electrons.
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle
Therefore, this principle can be re-stated as
Only two electrons may exist in the same orbital and these electrons must
have opposite spi ]
This helps in calculating the capacity of electrons to be present in any
subshell,

Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity (hm
Energy Level Diagram of Multielectron SpeciesHund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity
This rule deals with the filling of electrons into the orbitals belonging to the
same subshell (that is, orbitals of equal energy, called degenerate orbitals).
According to this, pairing of electrons in the orbitals belonging to the same
subshell (p, d or f) does not take place until each orbital belonging to that
subshell has got one electron each i.e., it is singly occupied.

Exceptional Configuration - Reasons @
It is a well-known fact that symmetry leads to stability. Subshells that are
entirely or half-filled have a symmetrical distribution of electrons.
This symmetrical distribution of electrons make sure that their shielding of one
another is relatively small (lower repulsions between electrons) and the
electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus,
Exceptional Configuration - Reasons @
(Exchange Energy)
When two or more electrons with the same spin are present in degenerate
orbitals, electrons have a tendency to swap locations, and the energy
produced is known as exchange energy.
When the subshell is half-filled or totally filled the maximum number of
exchanges is possible. As a result, stability is maximum.
