The fraction occupied by nucleus in an atom is:

  1. $1/10^{-10}$
  2. $1/10^8$
  3. $1/10^{-5}$
  4. $1/10^5$

D Correct answer
Explanation
Radius of atom $\displaystyle  = 10^{-10}$ m
Radius of nucleus $\displaystyle  = 10^{-15}$ m
The fraction occupied by nucleus in an atom $\displaystyle  = \dfrac {10^{-15}}{10^{-10}}=\frac {1}{10^5}$

Which of the following elements has maximum density of nucleus?

  1. ${ { _{ 14 }{ Si } } }^{ 30 }$
  2. ${ { _{ 15 }{ P } } }^{ 31 }$
  3. ${ { _{ 8 }{ O } } }^{ 16 }$

B Correct answer
Explanation
 $Element$  $Atomic$ $number$$(A)$  $Atomic$ $mass$ $number$$(Z)$ no. of proton (A) no. of neutron(2A-Z)
 $Si$  14  30  14  16
 $P$  15  31 15  16 
 $O$  8  16  8  8

The element containing greater number of proton and neutron has greater density, phosphorus has highest density as compared to others.

$P>Si>O$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The order of magnitude of the radius of an atomic nucleus is typically measured in femtometers (or fermis), which is 10^-15 meters. In contrast, 10^-10 meters is the order of atomic size, and 10^-8 meters is molecular scale.

Which form of energy is a measure of the electron stability when it is in bound state with nucleus?

  1. Potential energy

  2. Kinetic energy

  3. Vibrational energy

  4. Ionization energy

D Correct answer
Explanation

 Ionization Energy
The energy needed to remove one or more electrons from a neutral atom to form a positively charged ion is a physical property that influences the chemical behavior of the atom.So higher the ionization energy, higher is the stability.
