MCQ
Which of the following atoms has the lowest ionization potential
  • A
    $_8^{16}O$
  • B
    $_7^{14}N$
  • $_{55}^{133}Cs$
  • D
    $_{18}^{40}Ar$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$_{55}^{133}Cs$
c
Since the $_{55}^{133}Cs$ has larger size among the four atoms gives,

thus the electrons present in the outermost orbit will be away from the nucleus and the electrostatic force experienced by electrons due to nucleus will be minimum.

Therefore the energy required to liberate electron from outer will be minimum in the case of $_{55}^{133}Cs.$

Assertion : In Young's double slit experiment the two slits are at distance $d$ apart. Interference pattern is observed on a screen at distance $D$ from the slits. At a point onthe screen when it is directly opposite to one of the slits, a dark fringe is observed. Then, the wavelength of wave is proportional to square of distance of two slits

Reason : For a dark fringe intensity is zero.
