Multiple choice chemistry structure of the atom neutrons discovery of neutrons structure of atoms

The order (lowest to highest) of e/m (charge/mass) ratio for electron (e), proton (p), neutron (n) and alpha particle $(\alpha)$ is:

  1. $e, p, n, \alpha$
  2. $n, p, e, \alpha$
  3. $n, p, \alpha, e$
  4. $n, \alpha, p, e$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
The increasing order (lowest to highest) of e/m (charge/mass) ratio is $ n < \alpha < p < e$.Neutron being neutral has zero charge and lowest e/m ratio. An electron has a unit charge but negligible mass. Hence, the electron has maximum e/m ratio.For an alpha particle, the e/m ratio is 2/4 or 0.5.For proton, e/m ratio is 1/1 or 1.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Neutron has zero unit charge.
The neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol n or $n^0$, with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton. Protons and neutrons, each with mass approximately one atomic mass unit, constitute the nucleus of an atom, and they are collectively referred to as nucleons

 Which of the following would not be attracted or deflected while traveling through an electric field?
I. Gamma ray
II. Beta particle
III. neutron.

  1. i only

  2. ii only

  3. i and ii Only

  4. i and iii only
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gamma rays and neutrons have no charge as they are neutral, hence, these would not be attracted or deflected while traveling through an electric field.

Doubly magic nucleus is:

  1. $ _{ 82 }^{ 207 }{ Pb }$
  2. $ _{ 82 }^{ 206 }{ Pb }$
  3. $ _{ 82 }^{ 208 }{ Pb }$
  4. $ _{ 83 }^{ 209 }{ Bi }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Doubly magic nucleus is $\displaystyle _{ 82 }^{ 208 }{ Pb }$. It has 82 protons and $\displaystyle 208-82=126$ neutrons. 82 and 126 are magic numbers.
