4. Atoms consist of electrons, protons and neutrons.

Isotopes of an element show similar chemical
properties, but have different atomic weights. Thus
they are likely to have:
(a) same number of electrons, protons and
neutrons
(b) same number of electrons and neutrons;
different number of protons
(c) same number of neutrons and protons;
different number of electrons
(d) same number of electrons and protons;
different number of neutrons


Ans : (d) same number of electrons and protons;
different number of neutrons
Isotopes of an element have similar chemical
but different physical properties. Isotopes of an
element have same atomic number but different
mass number. Hence, they have same number of
electrons. Chemical properties are related to the
number of valence electrons. Thus, isotopes have
similar chemical properties. Physical properties are
related to atomic mass. Isotopes of an element have
different mass number. Hence, they have different
physical properties.

(ii) J. J. Thomson
(iii) Thomson’s model of an atom
According to Thomson’s model of the atom, an
atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with
negatively charged electrons embedded in it. An
atom is electrically neutral as both the positive
and negative charges are equal in magnitude.
