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

Which of the following statements is false?

  1. Proton has a positive charge

  2. Neutron has no charge

  3. Electrons are found in regions of the atom called orbitals

  4. Electrons has a greater mass than the protons

  5. Protons and neutrons form the nucleons of the atom

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Electron has less mass. A proton and a neutron have effectively the same mass. A proton (or a neutron) has approximately 1837 times more massive than an electron.

$ _{7}{X}^{15}$ and $ _{8}{Y}^{15}$ differ in

  1. Physical properties

  2. Chemical properties

  3. Number of neutrons

  4. Number of nucleons

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

The option (C) is the correct answer.
$\displaystyle _{7}{X}^{15}$ and $\displaystyle _{8}{Y}^{15}$ differ in number of neutrons.
Number of neutrons for $\displaystyle _{7}{X}^{15} = 15-7=8$
Number of neutrons for $\displaystyle _{8}{Y}^{15}=15*8=7$
Note: Number of neutrons $\displaystyle =$ mass number $\displaystyle -$ atomic number.

Number of neutrons present in $1.7$ g of ammonia is:

  1. $0.8N _A$
  2. $0.7N _A$
  3. $0.652N _A$
  4. $0.52N _A$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Let us consider the problem.
For, moles of $N{H _3} = \frac{{1.7}}{{17}} = 0.1$
Let the Neutrons in 1 molecules of $N{H _3} = 7 + 3 \times 0 = 7$
Hence,
Number of Neurons $= 0.1 \times {N _A} \times 7$
The correct answer is $0.7{N _A}$

Calculate number of neutrons present in $12 \times 10^{25}$ atoms of oxygen $( _8O^{17})$:
(Given : N$ _A = 6 \times 10^{23}$)

  1. $1800$
  2. $1600$
  3. $1800\ N _A$
  4. $3200\ N _A$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Atomic number =$ P =8$ 


Atomic Mass =$ N+P=17$


                         $N=9$
 Total no. of Neutrons = $9\times 12\times 10^{25}$

                                     =$\dfrac{9\times 12\times 10^{25}\times N _{A}}{6\times 10^{23}}$ 

                                 $=1800N _{A}$

Hence, the correct option is C.
