A. indivisible
B. small

2. Who is right?

Arya: Water is a compound as water molecules consist of different kinds of


atoms.
Nick: Water is an element as water molecules consist of same kinds of
atoms.

3. C(s) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO(g)


Identify the substance classified as an element in the above-given chemical
equation.

A. CO
B. H2O
C. H2

Atomic Structure

6. Based on the deflection of the cathode ray, identify the field used in the experiment.

A. Electric field
B. Magnetic field

7. Which amongst the following properties of an atom could be explained correctly by


Thomson’s model?

A. Electrical neutrality
B. Stability of atom
C. Position of nucleus

8. Tick mark the correct statement from the following.

The mass of a proton is 600 times the mass of an electron.


Positive rays are emitted from the anode.
A perforated cathode allows the passage of protons.

9. Who is right?

Alex: The charge-to-mass ratio of protons varies with the gas placed inside
the discharge tube.

inside the discharge tube.
Atomic Structure

10. The net charge on atoms having two electrons and two protons is equal to
____________.

A. 0
B. +2
C. -2
D. -1

11. Identify the number of protons and electrons present in alpha particles used in
Rutherford’s experiment.

A. No. of protons – 2,
No. of electrons – 0

B. No. of protons – 0,
No. of electrons – 0

C. No. of protons – 0,
No. of electrons – 2

D. No. of protons – 2,
No. of electrons – 2

12. When atoms of the gold sheet are bombarded by a beam of alpha particles,
only a few alpha particles get deflected whereas most of them go straight undeflected.
This is because:

the force of attraction on alpha particles by the oppositely charged electron


is not sufficient.
Positive rays are emitted from the anode. the nucleus occupies much
smaller volume as compared to the volume of atom.
the force of repulsion on fast-moving alpha-particles is very small.

atom which causes deflection of a small fraction of alpha-particles is named
__________.

A. electron
B. proton
C. nucleus

14. What did Rutherford’s model fail to explain in accordance to atomic structure?

A. Electrical neutrality
B. Movement of electrons
C. Presence of nucleus
D. Stability of atom

15. Match the subatomic particles with their respective representations.

A. Electron P. 0n1
0
B. Proton Q. -1e
1
C. Neutron R. +1p

16. The no. of electrons in an atom is equal to no. of ____________.

A. protons in a neutral atom.


B. neutrons in a neutral atom
C. nucleons in a neutral atom
D. none of the above
