Question 51.


Which property of the gold metal was considered for Rutherford's alpha-ray scattering experiment?


  1.     Lusture
  2.     Ductility
  3.     Malleability
  4.     Sonority
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Malleability
:
C
The ability of the metal to be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability. Rutherford needed a very thin sheet of metal for the alpha-ray scattering experiment. Hence, gold, the most malleable metal was used.
Question 52.


In Niels Bohr model of the atom, the orbits or shells are represented by the letters:


  1.     A, B, C, D
  2.     K, L, M, N
  3.     P, Q, R, S
  4.     W, X, Y, Z
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> K, L, M, N
:
B
The orbits or shells of an atom are represented as shown in the picture below. The nucleus is at the centre of the atom and the electrons in the shells around the nucleus. The shells in an atom are represented by the letters K,L,M,N and so on.
In Niels Bohr Model Of The Atom, The Orbits Or Shells Are Re...
Question 53.


In the formula, 2n2 for finding the maximum number of electrons in an orbit, what does the 'n' represent?


  1.     Number of electrons in the atom
  2.     The orbit's or shell's serial number
  3.     Mass number of the element
  4.     Atomic number of the element
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> The orbit's or shell's serial number
:
B
According to Niels Bohr, the shells or orbits in which electrons are present in an atom are represented by K (n=1), L (n=2), M (n=3), N (n=4). The term, 'n' represent the orbit's number. For instance, n=1 represents the first orbit; n=2 represents the second orbit.
