Postulates of Thomson’s atomic model
  • An atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons filled into it. The negative and positive charge present inside an atom are equal and as a whole, an atom is electrically neutral.
  • Thomson’s model of the atom was compared to plum pudding and watermelon. He compared the red edible part of the watermelon to positively charged sphere whereas the seeds of watermelon to negatively charged particles.

Energy change associated per mole of atoms with an atomic transition giving rise to radiations of  What is the value of x?
    Correct answer is '4'. Can you explain this answer?

    Naina Sharma answered
    Energy = n.hv
    where,
    n = 1 mole or 6.023 × 1023 atoms
    h = 6.626×10-34 J.sec
    v (frequancy) = 1 Hz
    ⇒ E = 6.023 ×1023 × 6.626×10-34 × 1 = 3.91 × 10-10
    so approximately value of x = 4.

    • d)
      None of the above
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Suresh Reddy answered
    Bohr Model of atom:
    • An atom is made up of three particles: Electrons, neutrons and protons.
    • The protons and neutrons are located in a small nucleus at the centre of the atom.
    • The electrons revolve rapidly around the nucleus at the centre of the atom.
    • There is a limit to the number of electrons that each energy level can hold.
    • Each energy level is associated with a fixed amount of energy.
    • There is no change in the energy of electrons as long as they keep revolving in the same energy level.
    Bohr explained the stability through the concept of revolution of electrons in different energy levels.
    The change in the energy of an electron occurs when it jumps from lower to higher energy levels. When it gains energy, it excites from lower to higher and vice versa.
    Thus energy is not lost and the atom remains stable.

    • a)
        The nature of discharge tube.
    • b)
        The nature of residual gas
    • c)
        All of above.
    • d)
        The nature of electrode
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    The positive charges in these rays, other than negative cathode rays (which are electrons), depend on the gas that is used because they are cations - atoms with mostly one electron missing and thus one positive charge. So, if you accelerate, argon cations and protons over the same electric potential, the particles in the rays will have the same kinetic energy, but the argon ions will be much slower, as they are much heavier than the protons.

    Calculate the wavelength (in nanometer) associated with a proton moving at 1.0×103ms-1 (Mass of proton = 1.67×10-27kg and h = 6.63×10-34Js)
    • a)
      2.5 nm
    • b)
      0.40 nm
    • c)
       14.0 nm
    • d)
      32 nm
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    To calculate the wavelength associated with a proton moving at 1.0 MeV, we can use the de Broglie wavelength equation:

    λ = h / p

    where λ is the wavelength, h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J*s), and p is the momentum of the proton.

    First, let's convert 1.0 MeV to joules:
    1 MeV = 1.6 x 10^-13 J

    Next, we need to calculate the momentum of the proton. The momentum (p) is given by:

    p = sqrt(2 * m * KE)

    Where m is the mass of the proton (1.6726219 x 10^-27 kg) and KE is the kinetic energy of the proton (1.0 MeV = 1.6 x 10^-13 J).

    Now, let's calculate the momentum:
    p = sqrt(2 * (1.6726219 x 10^-27 kg) * (1.6 x 10^-13 J))
    p ≈ 1.29 x 10^-19 kg*m/s

    Finally, we can calculate the wavelength:
    λ = (6.626 x 10^-34 J*s) / (1.29 x 10^-19 kg*m/s)
    λ ≈ 5.13 x 10^-16 m

    To convert this wavelength to nanometers, we multiply by 10^9:
    λ ≈ 5.13 x 10^-16 m * 10^9 nm/m
    λ ≈ 5.13 x 10^-7 nm

    Therefore, the wavelength associated with a proton moving at 1.0 MeV is approximately 5.13 x 10^-7 nanometers.

     The charge on electron was determined by
    • a)
      Crooks
    • b)
      Bohr
    • c)
      Milliken
    • d)
      Schrodinger
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Naina Bansal answered
    Millikan
    The experiment helped earn Millikan a Nobel prize in 1923 but has been a source of some controversy over the years. J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 when he measured the charge-to-mass ratio for electrons in a beam. But the value of the charge and whether it was fundamental remained open questions.

    Find the number of waves made by a Bohr’s electron in one complete revolution in its 3rd orbit
      Correct answer is '3'. Can you explain this answer?

      Neha Sharma answered
      Number of waves = n(n - 1)/2 where n = Principal quantum number or number of orbit number of waves = 3(3 - 1)/2 = 3 * 2/2 = 3
      ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS :
      In general, the number of waves made by a Bohr electron in an orbit is equal to its quantum number.
      According to Bohr’s postulate of angular momentum, in the 3rd orbit
      Mur = n h/2π
      Mur = 3 (h/2π) …..(i) [n = 3]
      According to de Broglie relationship
      λ = h/mu ….(ii)
      Substituting (ii) in (i), we get
      (h/λ) r = 3 (h/2π) or 3λ = 2πr
      [∵ mu = h/λ]
      Thus the circumference of the 3rd orbit is equal to 3 times the wavelength of electron i.e. the electron makes three revolution around the 3rd orbit.

        1
      Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

      Swara Saha answered
      Number of radial nodes = n-1 – 1
      For 3p orbital, n = 3 – 1 – 1 = 1
      Number of radial nodes = 3 – 1 – 1 = 1. 

      Wave number of a spectral line for a given transition is x cm-1 for He+, then its value for Be3+ (isoelectronic of He+)for the same transition is
      • a)
        x cm-1
      • b)
        4x cm-1
      • c)
      • d)
        2x cm-1
      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Naina Bansal answered
      The spectral lines of the transitions are directly proportional to the square of atomic number (Z^2).
      1/λ = wavenumber = RhZ^2(1/n1^2 −1/n2^2)
      For, He^+ , the wave number = x /cm
      Then for Be^3+, the wave number will be 4x /cm

      • c)
        same atomic number but different mass number
      • d)
        same number of neutrons but different mass number
      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Nandini Patel answered
      Isobars are atoms (nuclides) of different chemical elements that have the same number of nucleons. Correspondingly, isobars differ in atomic number (or number of protons) but have the same mass number.

      Which of the following conclusions could not be derived from Rutherford’s α -particle scattering experiment?
      a) Most of the space in the atom is empty.
      b) The radius of the atom is about 10^–10 m while that of nucleus is 10^–15 m.
      c) Electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy called orbits.
      d) Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
      Correct answer is 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

      Preeti Iyer answered
      Conclusions of Rutherford's scattering experiment:

      1. Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected.

      2. Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.

      3. A very small fraction of α-particles were deflected by very large angles, indicating that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.

      4. From the data, he also calculated that the radius of the nucleus is about 10^5times less than the radius of the atom.

      5. Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

      • a)
      • b)
      • c)
      • d)
      Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

      Vivek Patel answered
      For the spectral line in H -atom and H -like species (one electron)

      For Lyman series
      For shortest wavelength (maximum wave number) n2 → ∞



      For longest wave length (minimum wave number), n2 = (n1, + 1).
      For Balmer series, n1 = 2
