Structure of Atom Long Ans+assertion Reason
Answer: Atoms of same element with same atomic number but different mass number are isotopes.
Characteristics:
(1) Physical properties of the isotopes are different e.g. mass, density.
(2) Chemical properties of the isotopes are same due to same number of electrons.
Uses:
(1) Uranium isotope is used as a fuel in nuclear reactor (U-235).
(2) Cobalt isotope is used for treatment of cancer (Co-60).
(3) Iodine isotope is used in the treatment of goitre.
3: Explain Rutherford’s α-particle scattering experiment and give its observation and conclusion
drawn.
4: Establish the relationship between atomic number, mass number, isotopes, isobars and valency
of an atom.
1: Aryan could not solve the following question in the group; his group mate explained him and
solved his difficulty. The question was as follows:
What information do you get from the given figure about the atomic number, mass number and
valency of the given atom X’.
(a) What is the answer for-the above question?
(b) Name the element X’.
(c) What value of Aryan’s friend is reflected in this behaviour?
Answer: (a) The atomic number is 5.
The mass number is 11.
The valency is 3.
(b) The element X’ is boron.
(c) Aryan’s friend showed the value of helping and caring nature.
Question 1.
(i) State the method of determining the valency of an element if its atomic number is given.
(ii) Determine the valency of the following elements, the atomic numbers of which are given in
parenthesis:
Chlorine (17), Sulphur (16), Aluminium (13)
Answer:
(i) The number of electrons gained, lost or shared to make the octet of electrons (in the outermost
shell), gives us directly the combining capacity of the element, that is, the valency.
Question 2.
What is the gold foil experiment? Name the scientist who performed this experiment. Write the
conclusions and shortcomings of Rutherford’s model of atom.
Answer:
In 1911, Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment. He bombarded a stream of a-particles on a
gold foil, a thin sheet which was 0.00006 cm thick in an evacuated chamber. An a-particle is a
positively charged helium ion (He2+). A simplified picture of this experiment is shown in the figure.
In this famous experiment, the following observations were made.
Most of the a-particles passed straight through the foil without any deflection. This
concluded that most of the space inside of an atom is empty.
A few α-particles were deflected through small angle and few through larger angles. This
happened due to positive charge on a-particles and core (nucleus) of the atom. The heavy
positively charged ‘core’ was named as nucleus.
The number of α-particles which bounced back was very small. This concluded that the
volume of the nucleus is very small in comparison to the total volume of the atom.
On the basis of gold foil experiment, Rutherford concluded that an atom consists of nucleus which
has positive charge and it is surrounded with electrons which are moving around the nucleus. The
number of electrons and protons are equal and the entire mass of the atom is concentrated at its
nucleus.
Drawbacks in the Rutherford’s model
According to classical electro-magnetic theory, a moving charged particle, such as an
electron under the influence of attractive force loses energy continuously in the form of
radiations. As a result of this, electron should lose energy and therefore, should move in
even smaller orbits ultimately falling into the nucleus. But the collapse does not occur. There
is no explanation for this behaviour.
Rutherford did not specify the number of orbits and the number of electrons in each orbit.
Question 3.
In what way is the Rutherford’s atomic model different from that of Thomson’s atomic model?
[NCERT Exemplar]
Answer:
Rutherford proposed a model in which electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits.
There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. He also proposed that the size of
the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is
centred in the nucleus. Whereas, Thomson proposed the model of an atom to be similar to a
Christmas pudding. The electrons are studded like currants in a positively charged sphere like
Christmas pudding and the mass of the atom was supposed to be uniformly distributed.
Question 4.
What are the postulates of Bohr’s model of an atom? [NCERT Exemplar]
Answer:
The postulates put forth by Neils Bohr’s about the model of an atom:
Only certain special orbits known as discrete orbits of electrons, are allowed inside the
atoms.
While revolving in discrete orbits the electrons do not radiate energy. These orbits are called
energy levels. Energy levels in an atom are shown by circles.
These orbits are represented by the letters K, L, M, N, … or the numbers n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ………..
Question 5.
The ratio of the radii of hydrogen atom and its nucleus is ~105. Assuming the atom and the nucleus to
be spherical,
(i) what will be the ratio of their sizes?
(ii) If atom is represented by planet Earth ‘Re’ = 6.4 × 106 m. Estimate the size of the nucleus. [NCERT
Exemplar]
Answer:
(i) Volume of the sphere = 43 πr3
Let R be the radius of the atom and r be that of the nucleus.
Question 6.
Show diagrammatically the electron distribution in a sodium atom and a sodium ion and also give
their atomic number. [NCERT Exemplar] Answer:
Since the atomic number of sodium atom is 11, it has 11 electrons. A positively charged sodium ion
(Na+) is formed by the removal of one electron from a sodium atom. So, a sodium ion has 11 – 1= 10
electrons in it. Thus, electron distribution of sodium ion will be 2, 8. The atomic number of an
element is equal to the number of protons in its atom. Since, sodium atom and sodium ion contain
the same number of protons, therefore, the atomic number of both is 11.
Question 7.
The given figure depicts the atomic structure of an atom of an element ‘X’.
Write the following information about the element ‘X’.
(a) Atomic number of ‘X’
(b) Atomic mass of ‘X’
(c) Valence electrons
(d) Valency of ‘X’
(e) ‘X’ should be metal or non-metal.
Answer:
(a) Atomic number = Number of protons = 8
(ib) Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
= 8 + 10 = 18 u
(c) Valence electrons = 6
(d) Valency of ‘X’ = 8 – 6 = 2
(e) ‘X’ should be non-metal because there are six valence electrons hence it will take two more
electrons to complete its outermost shell.

Question 1.
One electron is present in the outermost shell of the atom of an element ‘Z’.
(a) What will be the nature of this element?
(b) What will be the value of charge of the ion formed, if this electron is removed from the
outermost shell?
Answer:
(a) Element ‘Z’ will be a metal because it has only one electron in the outermost shell, so it is
electropositive.
(b) After loss of one electron, ‘Z’ will acquire one positive charge.
Z → Z + + 1 e–
Question 2.
Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are given below:
Give the mass number of ‘X’ and ‘Y’. What is the relationship between the two species?
Answer:
(i) Atomic mass of element ‘X’ = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
= 8 + 8 = 16 u
(ii) Atomic mass of element ‘Y’ = Number of neutrons + Number of protons
= 10 + 8 = 18 u
Relationship between X and Y: The atomic number of both the elements is same but their atomic
masses are different. Hence,they are isotopes of each other.
Question 3.
An atom ‘M’ of an element reacts with oxygen to form M2O3. Calculate the valency of the element
‘M’.
Answer:
Question 4.
Complete the following gaps in the given table:
Answer:
We know that the number of protons = Atomic number
Number of protons = Number of electrons
Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Using these relationships, we can fill up these gaps as follows:
Question 5.
Explain why chlorine, whether as the element or its compounds, always has relative atomic mass of
about 35.5.
Answer:
The relative atomic mass is the average mass of one of the atoms and has to take into account the
relative abundances of the various isotopes.
Natural chlorine always contains about 34×3517Cl and 14×3717Cl.
Therefore, relative atomic mass of chlorine = 34×35+14×37
= 35.5 u
Question 6.
An element ‘X’ has mass number 4 and atomic number 2. Write the valency of this element. Will it
react with other atoms of different elements? [NCERT Exemplar]
Answer:
We know that only valence electrons take part in bond formation with different atoms. In the atom
of ‘X’ element there are only two electrons since atomic number is 2. Thus, K shell is fully filled for
this atom. Hence, its valency is zero. It will not react with other atoms of different elements.
Question 7.
How many electrons will weigh 1 g?
Answer:
Now, mass of 1g, i.e., 10-31 kg will have 19.11×10−31 × 10-3 electrons
= 1.098 × 1027 electrons.
