Who determined the mass of a neutron?

  1. John Dalton (early 1800's)

  2. Ernest Rutherford (1911)

  3. Niels Bohr (1913)

  4. James Chadwick (1932)

D Correct answer
Explanation

The presence of neutron and its mass was determined by James Chadwick. Neutron was discovered by bombarding $\alpha-$particles on $Be$. On doing so, highly energetic beam of radiation was observed by Chadwick. Thus mass of neutron was determined by James Chadwick.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The $\alpha-$ ray scattering-gold foil experiment by Ernest Rutherford gave substantial evidence for  existence of nucleus in $1911$. Thus the existence of nucleus was proved by Rutherford's experiment.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

 Neutron was discovered by Chadwick.
To overcome the failure of proton electron hypothesis, Rutherford, in 1920, proposed the existence of neutral particle made from close combination of proton and electron. He named it neutron.
In 1932, Lord Chadwick proved the existence of neutron by bombarding lighter elements (boron and beryllium) with alpha particles which resulted in the emission of highly penetrating neutral radiation.

The neutron is a neutral (non-electrical) particle in the centre of the atom. It was discovered when a tiny piece of the metal, beryllium, was bombarded with alpha particles. This discovery was made by:

  1. Chadwick

  2. Rutherford

  3. Niels Bohr

  4. Enrico Fermi

A Correct answer
Explanation
In 1930, it was discovered that Beryllium, when bombarded by alpha particles, emitted a very energetic stream of neutral radiation. In 1932, Chadwick proposed that neutral radiation consists of a new type of neutral particles - neutrons.

Multiple choice chemistry what is inside atom neutrons discovery of neutrons structure of atoms

The atoms of different elements having the same number of neutrons are known as :

  1. isobars

  2. isomers

  3. isotones

  4. isotopes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Two nuclides are isotones if they have same neutron number but different proton number e.g. $boron-12$ and $carbon-13$ both contain 7 neutrons so they are $isotones$.

The nuclides $^{40} _{18}Ar$ and $^{41} _{19}K$ are :

  1. isotopes

  2. isobars

  3. isotones

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The two or more species of atoms or nuclei that have the same number of neutrons are called as isotones.


The nuclides $^{40} _{18}Ar$ and $^{41} _{19}K$ are isotones. Because they have the same number of neutron.

So, the correct option is $C$
