4.

He believed that all matter in the universe are made up of indivisible units known as 'atomos'.

a)

Democritus

b)

Dalton

Moseley

5.

He gave us the early idea about compound. According to him compounds are made up of two or more atoms of the same or different elements.

a)

Democritus

Mendeleev

d)

Moseley

7.

He was the latest one who arranged elements in periodic table based on increasing order of atomic number or number of proton.

a)

Democritus

b)

Dalton

c)

Mendeleev

d)

Moseley

8.

He was the first one who discovered radioactivity in some elements.

a)

Becquerel

b)

Milikan

c)

Bohr

d)

Soddy

9.

He was the first one who measured the charge of one electron.

a)

Becquerel

b)

Milikan

c)

Bohr

d)

Soddy

10.

He discovered isotopes of different elements proving that one element may have different atoms.

a)

Becquerel

b)

Milikan

c)

Bohr

d)

Soddy

11.

He proposed the planetary model of an atom believing that electrons occupy orbits around the nucleus that corresponds to their energy level.

a)

Becquerel

b)

Milikan

c)

Bohr

d)

Soddy

12.

He believed in the so called Uncertainty Principle of quantum theory in which according to him electrons do not follow specific orbits around the nucleus, instead they are scattered in different energy level.
