If an element M has atomic weight 24 and atomic number 12, how many neutrons does its atom contain? How many electrons will be present in K, L and M energy shells of its atom?
Number of electron = number of protons =12
No. of neutrons = Atomic mass - No. of protons = 24 - 12 =12
Thus,
total number of neutrons =12
So,
Electronic configuration is
K - cell 2 electrons
L - cell 8 electrons
M - cell 2 electrons.

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.
