According to modern atomic theory, atoms are made up of smaller subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiments like J.J. Thomson&#8217;s cathode ray experiment and Ernest Rutherford&#8217;s gold foil experiment proved that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, atoms are divisible and have an internal structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.2: Why do electrons not fall into the nucleus even though they are attracted to protons in it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: Electrons do not fall into the nucleus because they revolve in fixed energy levels (shells) around the nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Bohr&#8217;s Model of the Atom, each electron has a definite amount of energy. While moving in these orbits, electrons do not lose energy, so they do not spiral into the nucleus despite the electrostatic attraction between electrons and protons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.3: Why did scientists keep modifying atomic models?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: Scientists kept modifying atomic models because new experimental results were not explained by earlier models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Thomson&#8217;s atomic model could not explain the results of Rutherford&#8217;s gold foil experiment. Hence, a new model was proposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, atomic models were revised to better explain observations and experimental evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.4: Suppose you made up your own \u2018atom\u2019, as Thomson described, using clay for the positive charge and small beads for the electrons spread through it. What will happen if<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the positive charge on the clay is lesser than the total negative charge of the beads?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by mistake, the clay itself carries a bit of negative charge? Would your model still represent a neutral atom?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the positive charge on the clay is less than the total negative charge of the beads, then the atom will not be neutral. It will have a net negative charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the clay itself carries a bit of negative charge, then the total negative charge increases further. Hence, the model will again not represent a neutral atom.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, in both cases, the atom will not be neutral because the total positive and negative charges are not equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.5: Could an orange or a lemon, which also contain seeds inside soft pulp, be a good comparison? In what ways does it match Thomson\u2019s idea and where does it fall short?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: An orange or a lemon can be compared to Thomson&#8217;s atomic model to some extent. The soft pulp of the fruit may be considered as the positively charged sphere, and the seeds embedded in it can be compared to electrons. In this way, the comparison matches Thomson\u2019s idea that electrons are embedded in a positively charged medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this comparison is not completely accurate. In an atom, the positive charge is uniformly distributed and electrons are spread evenly throughout, whereas in an orange or lemon, the seeds are not uniformly distributed and are present only in limited numbers. Also, the pulp of the fruit does not actually possess positive charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the orange or lemon model only partially represents Thomson\u2019s atomic model and falls short in explaining the actual structure of an atom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.6: Why did Thomson conclude that electrons are present in all atoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: J. J. Thomson concluded that electrons are present in all atoms based on his cathode ray experiments. He observed that the nature of cathode rays remained the same regardless of the type of gas taken in the discharge tube or the material of the electrodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This showed that electrons are common constituents of all atoms. Thus, he concluded that electrons are present in every atom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.7: What do you think would happen if {tex}\\alpha{\/tex}-particles were replaced with negatively charged particles in Rutherford\u2019s gold foil experiment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: If \u03b1-particles were replaced with negatively charged particles (electrons) in Rutherford&#8217;s gold foil experiment, the results would be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since electrons are negatively charged, they would be strongly attracted towards the positively charged nucleus. As a result, they would not pass straight through or be deflected slightly; instead, most of them would be pulled towards the nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the experiment would not show large-angle deflections as observed with \u03b1-particles, and it would not lead to the same conclusions about the structure of the atom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.8: Rutherford found that a few \u03b1-particles bounced back sharply. How does this single surprising result completely rule out Thomson\u2019s \u02bbplum pudding model\u02bc of the atom?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: In Rutherford&#8217;s gold foil experiment, a few \u03b1-particles were found to bounce back sharply. This showed that a very small region of the atom contains a large amount of positive charge and mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Thomson&#8217;s atomic model, the positive charge is spread uniformly throughout the atom. If this were true, \u03b1-particles would only be slightly deflected and none would bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The observation of large-angle deflection (bouncing back) proved that the positive charge is concentrated in a small dense nucleus. Hence, Thomson\u2019s model was completely ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.9: If you could ask Rutherford one question about his work, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: If I could ask Ernest Rutherford one question, it would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow are electrons arranged around the nucleus so that they do not fall into it despite the strong electrostatic attraction?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Q.10: <strong>Assertion (A):<\/strong> Rutherford concluded that most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in a small region at the centre called the nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason (R):<\/strong> According to Thomson\u2019s model, electrons are embedded in a uniformly distributed positive charge sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Options:<br>(1) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.<br>(2) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. \u2705<br>(3) A is true but R is false.<br>(4) A is false but R is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explanation: <strong>Assertion (A)<\/strong> is true. Ernest Rutherford concluded that most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in a small central region called the nucleus.<br><strong>Reason (R)<\/strong> is also true. According to Thomson&#8217;s atomic model, electrons are embedded in a uniformly distributed positive charge sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.11: Imagine you are a scientist who has discovered a new element. Name this element after yourself and justify that the symbol you have chosen follows the IUPAC rules<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: Suppose I discover a new element and name it <strong>Rudrium<\/strong>. I would assign it the symbol <strong>Rd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry rules, the symbol of an element is derived from its name, consisting of one or two letters. The first letter is always written in uppercase and the second letter, if any, is written in lowercase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symbol <strong>Rd<\/strong> follows these rules, as it is taken from the name Rudrium, with \u2018R\u2019 in uppercase and \u2018d\u2019 in lowercase. Hence, it is a valid symbol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.12: What problems could arise if every scientist used different symbols for the same element?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: If every scientist used different symbols for the same element, it would create confusion and misunderstanding in scientific communication. Scientists from different places would not be able to understand each other\u2019s work easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would make it difficult to study, write chemical formulas, and share knowledge globally. Therefore, standard symbols given by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry are necessary for uniformity and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Q<strong>.13: An atom with an atomic number of 26 has 56 nucleons.

Why did Rutherford\u2019s model fail to explain atomic stability, while Bohr\u2019s model succeeded?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: Rutherford\u2019s model failed to explain atomic stability because, according to classical physics, an electron moving in a circular orbit around the nucleus should continuously radiate energy. As a result, it would lose energy, slow down, and eventually spiral into the nucleus. This would make the atom unstable, which contradicts the fact that atoms are stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bohr improved this model by proposing that electrons revolve in fixed energy levels (stationary orbits) where they do not radiate energy. Radiation is emitted or absorbed only when an electron jumps between these fixed orbits. Hence, Bohr\u2019s model successfully explained atomic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.32: An atom <sup>70<\/sup>\u2009X has 31 electrons.
