Very Short Answer Questions

Question 1.
Name the scientist who discovered proton.

Answer

E.Goldstein


Question 2.
What is the approximate ratio of diameters of atom to that of its nucleus?

Answer

Nuclear radius =$10^{-15}$ m Atomic radius =$10^ {-10}$ m Ratio of atom to Nuclear= $10^{5}$


Question 3.
What are nucleus?
Question 4.
What are isotopes?

Answer

Isotopes are atoms of the same element, which have different mass numbers


Question 5.
Neutrons can be found in all atomic nuclei except in one case. Name this atomic nucleus.

Answer

Hydrogen


Question 6.
What did Rutherford’s alpha- particle scattering experiment prove?

Answer

(a)Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the alpha-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected.
(b)Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.


Question 7.
An atom contains five protons and six neutrons. What is ts atomic number and mass number?

Answer

Atomic number=5
Mass number=5+6=11


Question 8.

Answer

ZAX


Question 10.
For which element is the atomic mass is same as that of a proton?

Answer

Hydrogen


Question 11.
Who discovered the phenomenon of radioactivity?

Answer

Henry Becquerel

State Bohr- Bury rules for the distribution of electrons in different energy levels.
Question 5.
What is meant by electronic configurations of an element?
Question 6.
What is carbon dating?
Question 7.
What experiment results into failure of Thomson’s model of the atom as an intimate mixture of negative and positive particles.

Long Answer Questions

Question 1.
Write five applications of radioisotopes.
Question 2.
Write conclusion of Rutherford’s scattering expperimant. Also mention drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of atom.
Question 3.
Name the model of atom proposed to explain the objections raised for Rutherford’s model. Explain this model of atom in detail.
Question 4.
A neutral atom of an element has 2K, 8L and 5M electrons. Find out the following from the data:
(a)Atomic number
(b)Total number of s- electron
(c)Total number of p- electrons
(d)Number of protons in the nucleus and
(e)Valency of the element

Answer

(a)It is given the number of electrons in the shells is given as 2 in K shell, 8 in L shell and 5 in the M shell.
Therefore the atom has in total of 2+8+5=15 electrons.
So, Atomic Number is 15
This means that the atom is phosphorus.
The electronic configuration will be as follows.
1s2,2s2, 2p6, 3s s2,3p 3
(b)Total Number of S electron: 6
(c)Total Number of P electron: 9
(d)Number of Protons =Number of electrons=15
(e) Outermost orbit has 5 electrons,So valency can be 3 or 5


Question 5.
Give the electronic configuration of the following ions:
(a)N3
(b)S2-
(c)Cu2+
(d)Cr3+
(e)Fe2+
Question 6.
Name two elements which have isotopes. Write the symbol of their isotopes and provide an account of the sub-atomic particles present in each of these isotopes.
Question 7.
Calculate the number of electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom of an element with atomic number 20 and mass number 40. Write electronic configuration and draw the structure of the atom?
Question 8.
An atom has complete K and L shells. Is this an atom of a metal, non-metal or noble gas? Justify?
