Answers of Questions on Page 39
Q1. What are
canal rays?
Ans. These rays are positively charged
radiations which are called canal rays.
Q2. If an atom
contains one electron and one proton. Will it carry any charge or not?
Ans. The atom containing one electron and
one proton will not carry any charge and it is neutral because one positive
charge (Proton) balances one negative charge (electron)

Q1. On the basis of Thomson’s
model of an atom. Explain how the atom is neutral as whole.
Ans.
According to Thomson’s atomic model – An atom consists of a positively charged
sphere and electrons are embedded in it. The positive charges and negative
charges are equal in magnitude so an atom is neutral.

Q1. How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and
magnesium?
Ans.
Valency – The combining
capacity of an atom is known as valancy.
For
Chlorine
Atomic number =
17
Protons =17
Electrons = 17
Electrons distribution
= KLM
287
Chlorine needs 1
electron to complete its outermost shell, so its valency is -1 (accepts one
electron)
For
Sulphur
Atomic number =
16
Protons =16
Electrons = 16
Electrons distribution
= KLM
286
Sulphur needs 2 electron to complete its outermost
shell, so its valency is -2 (accepts two electron)
For
Magnesium
Atomic number =
12
Protons =12
Electrons = 12
Electrons distribution
= KLM
282
Magnesium donates
2 electrons to complete its outermost shell, so its valency is +2 (donates two
electron)

Q.1 If the number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of
protons is also 8, then
(i) What is the atomic number of the atom? and (ii) What is the charge
on the atom?

Q.1 Compare the properties of electrons, protons and neutrons.
Ans.
Comparison between properties of Electron, Proton and Neutron
Ans.
According to J.J. Thomson model of an atom, electrons are embedded all over in the positively charged sphere. But experiments show that protons are present only in the nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus
Q.3 What are the limitations of Rutherford’s model of the atom?
Ans.
According to Rutherford’s model of an atom, electrons revolve in a circular orbit around the nucleus. But such particle would undergo acceleration and radiate energy and ultimately would loss its energy and fall into the nucleus. Now the atoms would become unstable, but atoms are quite stable.
This was not explained through Rutherford’s model of atom.
Q.4 Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.
Ans.
Bohr’s model of an atom
1. An atom has nucleus in the center.
2. Electrons revolve in definite circular path of fixed energy around the nucleus.
3.The electron can change its shell or energy levels by absorbing or releasing energy.
4. Electron does not radiate energy while moving in discrete orbit.
Q.5 Compare all the proposed models of an silicon given in this chapter.
Ans.
Q6. Summaries the rules for writing of distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements.
Ans.
Following are the rules for writing of distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements are-
The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula- 2n2 .
n = orbit number- 1 ,2,3 etc.
Maximum numbers of electrons present in a shell are-
K shell (n =1) = 2n2 = 2 ×11 = 2 electrons
L shell (n = 2) = 2n2 = 2× 22 = 8 electrons
M shell (n= 3) = 2n2 = 2 ×32 = 18 electrons
N shell (n =4) = 2n2 = 2 ×42 = 32 electrons
The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8.
Electrons are not accommodated in a given shell, unless the inner shells are filled in a step wise manner.
Q.7 Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.
Ans.
Valency – The combining capacity of an atom is called valency.
Silicon
Atomic number = 14
Number of electorns = 14
Electronic configuration = K,L,M
2,8,4
Its outermost shell has 4 electrons which it can share with other atoms to complete its orbit hence its valency is 4.
Oxygen
Atomic number = 8
Number of electorns = 8
Electronic configuration = K L
2 6
Its outermost shell has 6 electrons. It will gain 2 electrons to complete its octet. Hence its valency is -2
Q.8 Explain with examples (i) Atomic number (ii) Mass number (iii) Isotopes and (iv) Isobars.
Ans.
(i). Atomic number – the atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of its atom.eg.- carbon has 6 protons so its atomic number is – 6
(ii). Mass number – The mass number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is denoted by ‘A’.. eg. – Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, so its mass number is 6 +6 = 12
(iii). Isotopes - Isotopes are atoms having same atomic number but different mass numbers. eg- 6C14 6C14
(iv) Isobars - Isobars are atoms having same mass number but different atomic number.eg- - 18Ar40 , 20Ca40

(Na+) is formed by the loss of one electron from sodium atom.
Na → Na+
+ e-
2,8,1 2,8

K and L shells of sodium ion have 2 and 8 electrons respectively and are completely filled.
Q.10If bromine atom is available in the form of, say two
isotopes
Ans.
Percentage
of Br isotope with mass number 79 = 49.7
Percentage of Br isotope with mass number 81 = 50.3
The average atomic mass of bromine atoms = `\frac{49.7 ×79 +50.3×81}{100}`
=`\frac{392666.3 + 4074.3}{100}`
= `39.263 + 40.743 = 80.006u`
