Br−Br^-

b)

Sr+2Sr^{+2}

c)

Rb+Rb^+

d)

a)

They cannot be determined accurately

b)

The atoms ionize during determination of their masses

c)

They exist as a mixture of isotopes

a)

True

b)

False

b)

Characteristics of cathode rays vary based on the material of electrodes in cathode ray tube.

c)

Electric field and magnetic field deflect cathode rays.

d)

The objects hit by cathode rays get heated.

11.
