(ii) the mass and positive charge of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus
(iii) neutron exists in the nucleus
(iv) most of the space in atom is empty Which of the above statements are correct?
(a) (i) and (iii)
(b) (ii) and (iv)
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (iii) and (iv
Soln:
Answer is (b) (ii) and (iv)
Explanation:
An atom consists of a positively charged, dense and very small nucleus which have all the protons and neutrons.
Positive charge is due to protons, as neutrons have no charge. Here the space is empty because alpha particles
pass straight through the gold foil without any deflection.
Thomson explained that electron s have negative charge. Existence of neutron was discovered by Chadwick.

Short Answer Questions
19. Is it possible for the atom of an element to have one electron, one proton and no neutron. If so, name the
element.
Soln:
Yes, Hydrogen is the element which is having only 1 proton and 1 electron and no neutron hence there is no
repulsive force in the nucleus hence it is stable.
20. Write any two observations which support the fact that atoms are divisible
 Ionic compounds are formed because of formation of ions that involves transfer of electrons.
 Difference in the number of make isotopes. This shows that atom is formed by different particles such as
electrons, protons and neutrons and element is divisible.
21. Will 35Cl and 37Cl have different valencies? Justify your answer.
Soln:
35Cl and 37Cl cannot have different valencies because they are the isotopes of same element.
22. Why did Rutherford select a gold foil in his α–ray scattering experiment?
Soln:
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the
thinnest layer as possible.
Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
23. Find out the valency of the atoms represented by the Fig. 4.3 (a) and (b).
Soln:
Atom (a) has zero valency as it has 8 electron in its valence shell making the configuration stable.
Atom (b) has valency of +1 as it has 7 electrons in it outermost shell . It can accept 1 electron to achieve octet
configuration.
24. One electron is present in the outer most shell of the atom of an element X. What would be the nature
and value of charge on the ion formed if this electron is removed from the outer most shell?
Soln:
If an electron is removed from the outermost shell a cation will be formed and the charge of the element will be
+1.
25. Write down the electron distribution of chlorine atom. How many electrons are there in the L shell?
(Atomic number of chlorine is 17).
Soln:
Atomic number of chlorine atom = 17
So, its electronic configuration is
K L M
2 8 7
L shell of chlorine contains 8 electrons.
26. In the atom of an element X, 6 electrons are present in the outermost shell. If it acquires noble gas
configuration by accepting requisite number of electrons, then what would be the charge on the ion so
formed?
Soln:
In this atom 6 electrons are already present in its outermost orbitals. In order to attain noble gas configuration
element has to accept two electron hence its charge is -2.
27. What information do you get from the Fig. 4.4 about the atomic number, mass number and valency of
atoms X, Y and Z? Give your answer in a tabular form.
Soln
Atomic number, mass number and valency of atoms X, Y and Z
Atomic no Mass no Valency
X 5 11 3
Y 8 18 2
Z 15 31 3.5
28. In response to a question, a student stated that in an atom, the number of protons is greater than the
number of neutrons, which in turn is greater than the number of electrons. Do you agree with the
statement? Justify your answer.
Soln
Statement is wrong because number of protons can never be greater than number of neutrons. Number of protons
will always be less than or equal to number of neutrons. Number of electrons and protonsare always equal in a
neutral atom.
29. Calculate the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of an element X which is represented as 𝒙
𝟏𝟓
𝟑𝟏
Soln:

(c) Neon and chlorine have atomic numbers 10 and 17 respectively. Their valencies will be 0 and 1
respectively.
(d) The electronic configuration of silicon is 2.8.4 and that of sulphur is 2.8.6
35. An element X has a mass number 4 and atomic number 2. Write the valency of this element?
Soln:
Mass number = 4
Atomic number = 2
X is Helium.
It has 0 valency and it will not react with any other atom because it has its outer shell filled.
Long Answer Questions
36. Why do Helium, Neon and Argon have a zero valency?
Soln:
Helium has 2 electron in its outermost orbit thus filling shell 1 and forming duplet configuration in valence shell
.Neon has 8 electron in their valence orbit hence completing duplet configuration. In the same way Argon and
Neon has 8 electron in its outermost shelling completing octet configuration. As these elements have maximum
electron in their valence shell thus reach stable electron configuration and they will not take part in any sort of
chemical reactions.
37. The ratio of the radii of hydrogen atom and its nucleus is ~ 105. Assuming the atom and the nucleus to
be spherical,
(i) What will be the ratio of their sizes?
(ii) If atom is represented by planet earth ‘Re ’ = 6.4 ×106 m, estimate the size of the nucleus.
Soln:
38. Enlist the conclusions drawn by Rutherford from his α-ray scattering experiment.
Soln:
Rutherford drawn following conclusion from his α-ray scattering experiment.
 α-particles passed through the gold foil without any deflection concluding the empty space inside the
atom.
 Deflection is observed in few particles which proves positive charge of the atom occupies very little
space.
 Deflection in A very small fraction of α-particles indicates that all the positive charge and mass of the
gold atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.
39. In what way is the Rutherford’s atomic model different from that of Thomson’s atomic model?
Soln:
Rutherford proposed that electron revolve around the nucleus in well differentiated orbits. Nucleus is the centre
which is positively charged. Rutherford proposed that nucleus is very small and nearly all the mass of an atom is
centred in the nucleus.
.
Thompson proposed that electron are scattered positively charged spheres like a Christmas pudding and the mass
of the atom was supposed to be uniformly distributed.
40. What were the drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of an atom?
Soln:
Rutherford’s model could not explain the stability of the atom.
Revolving electrons would lose energy as they are the charged particles and due to acceleration, charged particles
would radiate energy.
Orbit of the revolving electron will reduce in size, following a spiral path as shown in figure and ultimately the
electron should fall into the nucleus. In other words, the atom should collapse.
41. What are the postulates of Bohr’s model of an atom?
Soln:
Postulates of Bohr’s model of an atom are
(i) Only certain special orbits known as discrete orbits of electrons, are allowed inside the atom.
(ii) While revolving in discrete orbits the electrons do not radiate energy. These orbits or shells
are called energy levels. These orbits or shells are represented by the letters K,L,M,N,… or
the numbers, n=1,2,3,4,….
42. Show diagramatically the electron distributions in a sodium atom and a sodium ion and also
give their atomic number.
Soln:
Atomic number of sodium (Z) =11 Mass number of sodium (A) = 23
Number of protons in the nucleus = 11 Number of neutrons in the nucleus =23-11 = 12
Number of electrons = 11
Electronic configuration of Na-atom = 2, 8, 1(K,L,M)
Na+ ion is formed from s,odium atom by loss of an electron (present in the outermost shell). Hence, its
electronic configuration is 2, 8(K,L). However, number of protons and neutrons remains the same.
43. In the Gold foil experiment of Geiger and Marsden, that paved the way for Rutherford’s model of an
atom, ~ 1.00% of the α-particles were found to deflect at angles > 50º. If one mole of α-particles were
bombarded on the gold foil, compute the number of α-particles that would deflect at angles less than 500.
Soln:
Total number of α particles used for bombardment = 1 mole
1 mole=6.022x1023
particles
number of α particles deflected at angles greater than 50°(>50°)= 1%
Number of α particles deflected at angles greater than 50° =100-1= 99%
Actual number of α particles deflected at angles less than 50°=
99
100
× 6.022 × 1023
=5.96× 1023

Is it possible for the atom of an element to have one electron, one proton and no neutron. If so, name the element. Soln: Yes, Hydrogen is the element which is having only 1 proton and 1 electron and no neutron hence there is no repulsive force in the nucleus hence it is stable. 20. Write any two observations which support the fact that atoms are divisible  Ionic compounds are formed because of formation of ions that involves transfer of electrons.  Difference in the number of make isotopes. This shows that atom is formed by different particles such as electrons, protons and neutrons and element is divisible. 21. Will 35Cl and 37Cl have different valencies? Justify your answer. Soln: 35Cl and 37Cl cannot have different valencies because they are the isotopes of same element. 22. Why did Rutherford select a gold foil in his α–ray scattering experiment? Soln: Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
  • 9. 23. Find out the valency of the atoms represented by the Fig. 4.3 (a) and (b). Soln: Atom (a) has zero valency as it has 8 electron in its valence shell making the configuration stable. Atom (b) has valency of +1 as it has 7 electrons in it outermost shell . It can accept 1 electron to achieve octet configuration. 24. One electron is present in the outer most shell of the atom of an element X. What would be the nature and value of charge on the ion formed if this electron is removed from the outer most shell? Soln: If an electron is removed from the outermost shell a cation will be formed and the charge of the element will be +1. 25. Write down the electron distribution of chlorine atom. How many electrons are there in the L shell? (Atomic number of chlorine is 17). Soln: Atomic number of chlorine atom = 17 So, its electronic configuration is K L M 2 8 7 L shell of chlorine contains 8 electrons. 26. In the atom of an element X, 6 electrons are present in the outermost shell. If it acquires noble gas configuration by accepting requisite number of electrons, then what would be the charge on the ion so formed? Soln: In this atom 6 electrons are already present in its outermost orbitals. In order to attain noble gas configuration element has to accept two electron hence its charge is -2.
  • 10. 27. What information do you get from the Fig. 4.4 about the atomic number, mass number and valency of atoms X, Y and Z? Give your answer in a tabular form. Soln Atomic number, mass number and valency of atoms X, Y and Z Atomic no Mass no Valency X 5 11 3 Y 8 18 2 Z 15 31 3.5 28. In response to a question, a student stated that in an atom, the number of protons is greater than the number of neutrons, which in turn is greater than the number of electrons. Do you agree with the statement? Justify your answer. Soln Statement is wrong because number of protons can never be greater than number of neutrons. Number of protons will always be less than or equal to number of neutrons. Number of electrons and protonsare always equal in a neutral atom. 29. Calculate the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of an element X which is represented as 𝒙 𝟏𝟓 𝟑𝟏 Soln: Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons = 31 ∴ Number of neutrons = 31– number of protons = 31–15 = 16

(c) Neon and chlorine have atomic numbers 10 and 17 respectively. Their valencies will be———and—— —respectively. (d) The electronic configuration of silicon is ———and that of sulphur is ——— Soln: (a) Rutherford’s α-particle scattering experiment led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus (b) Isotopes have same atomic number but different mass number (c) Neon and chlorine have atomic numbers 10 and 17 respectively. Their valencies will be 0 and 1 respectively. (d) The electronic configuration of silicon is 2.8.4 and that of sulphur is 2.8.6 35. An element X has a mass number 4 and atomic number 2. Write the valency of this element? Soln: Mass number = 4 Atomic number = 2 X is Helium. It has 0 valency and it will not react with any other atom because it has its outer shell filled. Long Answer Questions 36. Why do Helium, Neon and Argon have a zero valency? Soln: Helium has 2 electron in its outermost orbit thus filling shell 1 and forming duplet configuration in valence shell .Neon has 8 electron in their valence orbit hence completing duplet configuration. In the same way Argon and Neon has 8 electron in its outermost shelling completing octet configuration. As these elements have maximum electron in their valence shell thus reach stable electron configuration and they will not take part in any sort of chemical reactions.
  • 13. 37. The ratio of the radii of hydrogen atom and its nucleus is ~ 105. Assuming the atom and the nucleus to be spherical, (i) What will be the ratio of their sizes? (ii) If atom is represented by planet earth ‘Re ’ = 6.4 ×106 m, estimate the size of the nucleus. Soln: 38. Enlist the conclusions drawn by Rutherford from his α-ray scattering experiment. Soln: Rutherford drawn following conclusion from his α-ray scattering experiment.  α-particles passed through the gold foil without any deflection concluding the empty space inside the atom.  Deflection is observed in few particles which proves positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.  Deflection in A very small fraction of α-particles indicates that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom.
  • 14. 39. In what way is the Rutherford’s atomic model different from that of Thomson’s atomic model? Soln: Rutherford proposed that electron revolve around the nucleus in well differentiated orbits. Nucleus is the centre which is positively charged. Rutherford proposed that nucleus is very small and nearly all the mass of an atom is centred in the nucleus. . Thompson proposed that electron are scattered positively charged spheres like a Christmas pudding and the mass of the atom was supposed to be uniformly distributed. 40. What were the drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of an atom? Soln: Rutherford’s model could not explain the stability of the atom. Revolving electrons would lose energy as they are the charged particles and due to acceleration, charged particles would radiate energy. Orbit of the revolving electron will reduce in size, following a spiral path as shown in figure and ultimately the electron should fall into the nucleus. In other words, the atom should collapse. 41. What are the postulates of Bohr’s model of an atom? Soln: Postulates of Bohr’s model of an atom are (i) Only certain special orbits known as discrete orbits of electrons, are allowed inside the atom. (ii) While revolving in discrete orbits the electrons do not radiate energy. These orbits or shells are called energy levels. These orbits or shells are represented by the letters K,L,M,N,… or the numbers, n=1,2,3,4,….
  • 15. 42. Show diagramatically the electron distributions in a sodium atom and a sodium ion and also give their atomic number. Soln: Atomic number of sodium (Z) =11 Mass number of sodium (A) = 23 Number of protons in the nucleus = 11 Number of neutrons in the nucleus =23-11 = 12 Number of electrons = 11 Electronic configuration of Na-atom = 2, 8, 1(K,L,M) Na+ ion is formed from s,odium atom by loss of an electron (present in the outermost shell). Hence, its electronic configuration is 2, 8(K,L). However, number of protons and neutrons remains the same. 43. In the Gold foil experiment of Geiger and Marsden, that paved the way for Rutherford’s model of an atom, ~ 1.00% of the α-particles were found to deflect at angles > 50º. If one mole of α-particles were bombarded on the gold foil, compute the number of α-particles that would deflect at angles less than 500. Soln: Total number of α particles used for bombardment = 1 mole 1 mole=6.022x1023 particles number of α particles deflected at angles greater than 50°(>50°)= 1% Number of α particles deflected at angles greater than 50° =100-1= 99% Actual number of α particles deflected at angles less than 50°= 99 100 × 6.022 × 1023 =5.96× 1023
