How the sub atomic particles like Proton is different from electron?

• (a)An electron is much heavier than a proton.

• (b)An electron carries more charge than a proton.

• (c) A proton can be easily removed from the atom, but not an electron.

Which of the following is NOT the correct explanation of Thompson’s atomic model?

• (a)The atom is positively charged sphere.

• (b)Electrons are embedded in the positive sphere.

• (c)The positive and negative charges balance each other.

• (d)Protons and neutrons are embedded in the center of the sphere.

Rutherford conducted an experiment to study the structure of atom. He passed

positively charged alpha particles through a thin gold foil. He studied the angle of deflection

of the alpha particles. He noticed that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold

foil without any deflection. What can be concluded from the observation?

• (a) Most of the space in an atom is empty.

• (b) Atoms have electrons, protons, and neutrons.

• (c) The nucleus of the atom is situated at the center.

• (d) Atoms do not have positively charged particles.

Which of the following CAN NOT be the maximum number of electrons in a given shell

according to the Bohr & Bury’s rule for electronic configuration:

• (a) 2

• (b) 6

• (c) 18

• (d) 32
