In Rutherford's experiment, some of the α-particles when bombarded against a gold leaf, were repelled. Give the reasons for this observation.
Or
Give experimental evidence to show that the nucleus of an atom is positively charged.
α-particles are positively charged helium ions containing two protons and two neutrons each. In Rutherford's experiment only those α-particles, which bombarded the central part i.e., positively charged nucleus, were repelled. As same charges repel each other, therefore, it was concluded that the nucleus of an atom is positively charged.

Summarize the rules for writing of distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements.
Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.
Explain with examples, (i) Atomic number, (ii) Mass number, (iii) Isotopes, and (iv) Isobars. Give any two uses of isotopes also.
Na+ has completely filled K and L-shells. Explain.
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.
Rutherford’s α-particle scattering experiment was responsible for the discovery of
