Structure of Atom (Chemistry)

(Assignment – 1)
1. Which is not basic postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory?
(a) Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
(b) In a given compound, the relative number and kinds of atoms are constant.
(c) Atoms of all elements are alike, including their masses.
(d) Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
Ans. (c)
Sol. Dalton said atoms of same element will be alike but atoms of different elements will be
different in all aspect including their masses.
2. The number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element is equal to its :
(a) atomic weight (b) atomic number
(c) equivalent weight (d) electron affinity
Ans. (b)
Sol. For a neutral atom, number of electrons = number of protons = atomic number
3. The e/m for positive rays in comparison to cathode rays is :
(a) very low (b) high (c) same (d) none
Ans. (a)
Sol. Cathode rays contains electrons and positive rays contain positive charged gaseous atom
mass of electron is negligible in comparison to positive charge atom
e
 ratio for positive rays is very low.
m
4. Which has highest e/m ratio?
(a) He2+ (b) H+ (c) He+ (d) H
Ans. (b)
Sol. e/m ratio for

5. Cathode rays have :

(a) mass only (b) charge only
(c) neither mass nor charge (d) mass and charge both
Ans. (d)
Sol. Both mass and charge according to the Properties of cathode rays.
6. Mass of neutron is .............. times the mass of electron.
(a) 1840 (b) 1480 (c) 2000 (d) None of these
Ans. (a)
Sol. Massneutron = 1840 Melectron.
7. Positive rays or canal rays are :
(a) electromagnetic waves
 (b) a steam of positively charged gaseous ions
(c) a stream of electrons
(d) neutrons
Ans. (b)
Sol. Positive rays are a steam of positively charged gaseous ions.
Ch arg e
8. Assertion (A) : ratio of anode rays is found different for different gases.
Mass
Reason : Proton is the fundamental particle present in the gases.
(A) If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
(B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
(C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
(D) If reason is true but assertion is false.
(a) A (b) B (c) C (d) D
Ans. (c)
Sol. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Because anodes rays are made up of different positively charged gaseous iones
e
 ratio also differ.
m
9. The minimum real charge on any particle, which can exist is :
(a) 1.6 × 10–19 coulomb (b) 1.6 × 10–10 coulomb
(c) 4.8 × 10–10 coulomb (c) zero
Ans. (a)
Sol. Minimum real charge on any particle = charge of one electron =1.6 × 10–19 coulomb.
10. The ratio of specific charge (e/m) of an electron to that of a hydrogen ion is :
(a) 1 : 1 (b) 1840 : 1 (c) 1 : 1840 (d) 2 : 1
Ans. (b)
Sol. Hydrogen contains 1 electron and 1 proton
Hydrogen ion means H+ i.e. it has donated its electron
⸫ we can say that H+ is nothing but proton.
