Explanation:
Atoms are smallest particle of an element.
They consists of solid mass in the center known as the nucleus in which protons and neutrons are present.
Outside the nucleus, there are present electrons which keep up on revolving around it.
Thus the atom is not mostly the empty space.
Explanation:
The electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths was first proposed by Rutherford, not by Thomson.
Explanation:
Thomson proposed that the nucleus of an atom contains only nucleons.
Explanation:
According to Rutherford's experiment, α− particles or helium nuclei impinged on a metal foil and got scattered.
Explanation:
An atom must have a proton and an electron, but it may not have a neutron.
For example: In hydrogen atom, there is 1 proton, 1 electron but no neutron.
Explanation:
When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.
Explanation:
Magnesium ion, Mg2+ has 10 electrons; so, its electronic configuration is 2, 8.
Explanation:
The conclusions of Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment do not include that the positively charged particles move with great velocities.
The positively charged particles are present at the center of the atom called a nucleus.
Explanation:
Rutherford proposed that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths.
The electrostatic force of attraction between the nucleus and electron provides centripetal force (force towards the centre).
Explanation:
2, 8, 1 is the correct electronic configuration as the first shell can accommodate 2 electrons and second shell can accommodate 8 electrons. When the inner shell is full, electrons are filled in the outer shell.
Explanation:
According to Rutherford's theory, electrons revolve in a specific path around the nucleus. An atom has no net charge or they are electrically neutral because electrons are negatively charged and the densely concentrated nucleus is positively charged.
An atom is a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it.
Explanation:
Thomson's model of atom states that:
An atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons embedded in it.
Total positive and negative charges in the atom are equal in magnitude. So, atom is electrically neutral.
Explanation:
Every element has a proton, neutron, and electron. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and the number of electrons is equal the protons, unless it is an ion. To determine the number of neutrons in an element you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of the element.
Explanation:
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost orbit. It completes its octet by sharing 4 electrons.
Explanation:
Explanation: Atomic number and the number of electrons in magnesium atom is 12.
So, electronic configuration is 2, 8, 2 (because 12 = 2 + 8 + 2).
Explanation:
Aluminium with three valence electrons has a valency = 3
Fluorine has seven valence electrons and has a valency = 1
Magnesium has two valence electrons and has a valency = 2
Carbon has four valence electrons and has a valency = 4
Explanation:
Isotopes - Protium, Tritium and Deuterium are isotopes of hydrogen.
Isobars - Argon and calcium; both have mass equal to 40.
Since isotopes have identical electronic configuration containing same number of valence electrons, they have similar chemical properties, but because the masses are slightly different hence, the physical properties (density, melting pt., boiling pt, etc) are different.
Explanation:
Rutherford put forward the nuclear model of an atom, which had the following features:
There is a positively charged center in an atom called the nucleus.
The electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths.
The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.
Explanation:
An atom always has equal number of protons and electrons in order to maintain electrical neutrality.
Explanation:
When alpha particles were bombarded on a gold foil, most of the alpha particles passed through undeflected.
This result indicates that most of the volume of a gold atom consists of unoccupied space.
This experiment is called the Rutherford experiment.
Explanation:
The total number of electrons present in oxygen is 8.
Therefore, for O electron configuration will be 1s22s22p4.
The distribution of electrons in oxygen atom is given by:
First orbit or K shell = 2(2n2 = 2 × 11 = 2)
Second orbit or L shell = 6(8 − 2 = 6)
Explanation:
The valency shell means the outermost shell or orbit of an element which has valence electrons or outer electrons in it.
The atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2 which shows that the outermost orbit or valency shell contains 2 electrons.
Explanation:
Isoelectronic Species are those atoms which have the same electronic configuration or same number of electrons. For eg- N3-, O2-, F-, Ne, Na+, Mg2+, Al3+ are a series of isoelectronic species.
Explanation:
J.J. Thompson discovered electrons by conducting a cathode-ray experiment.
Explanation:
Hydrogen atom contains one proton in the nucleus and one electron outside the nucleus.
The space between a proton and electron in hydrogen atom is empty.
Explanation:
As the mass numbers are different, the correct option is (c). They have the same number of protons.
