MCQ
Which scientist proposed the concept of atomic mass?
  • A
    Avogadro
  • B
    Gay Lussac
  • C
    Proust
  • D
    Dalton

Answer

  1. Proust

Explanation:

The concept of atomic mass was proposed by William Prout. Early atomic mass theory was proposed by the English chemist William Prout in a series of published papers in 1815 and 1816. Known as Prout's Law, Prout suggested that the known elements had atomic weights that were whole number multiples of the atomic mass of hydrogen.

Figure shows a horizontal solenoid connected to a battery and a switch. A copper ring is placed on a frictionless track, the axis of the ring being along the axis of the solenoid. As the switch is closed, the ring will:
  1. Remain stationary.
  2. Move towards the solenoid.
  3. Move away from the solenoid.
  4. Move towards the solenoid or away from it depending on which terminal (positive or negative) of the battery is connected to the left end of the solenoid.
