DPP 2 Atomic Structure

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of atomic structure and properties: 1. Cathode rays have charge but no mass. 2. Atomic weights are averages that include isotopes. 3. Sodium-23 and magnesium-24 are isotopes with the same number of protons but different neutrons. Most of the questions relate to properties of atomic nuclei, subatomic particles, and experimental evidence that led to discoveries about atomic structure.

1. Cathode rays have:

(a) Mass only (b) Charge only


(c) Neither mass nor charge (d) Mass and charge both

2. Atomic weight of an element is not necessarily a whole number because:

(a) It contains allotropic forms

(b) It is average isotopic weight

(c) It contains electrons, protons and neutrons

(d) None
23 24
3. 11 Na and 12 Mg are

(a) Isotopes (b) Isobars


(c) Isodiaphers (d) Isotones
4. When a gold sheet is bombarded by a beam of -particles, only a few of them get deflected
whereas most go straight, undeflected. This is because
(a) The force of attraction exerted on the -particles by the oppositely charged electrons is not
sufficient
(b) A nucleus has a much smaller volume than that of an atom
(c) The force of repulsion acting on the fast-moving -particle is very small
(d) The neutrons in the nucleus do not have any effect on the -particle
5. Because of the observation that some a-particles directed at a gold foil are scattered
backwards at angles larger than 90°, Rutherford was able to conclude that
(a) all atoms are electrically neutral
(b) an electron has a very small mass
(c) the positively charged parts of atoms occupy only a very small fraction of the volume of the
atom
(d) negatively charged electrons are a part of all matter
6. Alpha-particle that come closer to nuclei:
(a) Are deflected more (b) Are deflected less
(c) Make more collisions (d) None

7. The proton and neutron are collectively called as
(a) deuteron (b) positron
(c) meson (d) nucleon
8. The number of electrons in one molecule of urea is
(a) 20 (b) 22
(c) 28 (d) 32
9. The nucleus and an atom can be assumed to be spherical. The radius of the nucleus of mass
number A is given by 1.25 × 10–13 × A1/3 cm. The atomic radius of atom is 1Å. If the mass number
of 64, the fraction of the atomic volume that is occupied by nucleus is
(a) 1.0 × 10–3 (b) 5.0 × 10–5
(c) 2.5 × 10–2 (d) 1.25 × 10–13
10. The atomic weight of an element is 39. The number of neutrons in its nuclues is one more than the
number of protons. The number of protons, neutrons and electrons respectively in its atom would
be
(a) 19, 20, 19 (b) 19, 19, 20
(c) 20, 19, 19 (d) 20, 19, 20
