Why does a part of the glass glow in the discharge tube experiment ? Name the scientist who first performed the discharge tube experiment.
Cathode rays are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes. If an evacuated glass tube is equipped with two electrodes and a voltage is applied, the glass opposite of the negative electrode is observed to glow, due to electrons emitted from and travelling perpendicular to the cathode.William Crooks in 1879 first performed this experiment.

If Z = 3, what would be the valency of the element? Also, name the element.
Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species X and Y are given as under
X Y
Protons = 6 6
Neutrons= 6 6
Give the mass numbers of X and Y. What is the relation between the two species?
For the following statements, write T for True and F for False.
(a) J.J. Thomson proposed that the nucleus of an atom contains only nucleons.
(b) A neutron is formed by an electron and a proton combining together. Therefore, it is neutral.
(c) The mass of an electron is about 1/2000 times that of proton.
(d) An isotope of iodine is used for making tincture iodine, which is used as a medicine.
