An atom contains three shells. What does it mean? It is possible that the same atom may have more shells?
An atom contains 3 shells, it means that in that atom the electrons are distributed broadly in three different energy levels. In the excited state the same atom may have the same electrons distributed in more than three energy levels and thus may have more shells.
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
Isotope of an element has
