Compare all the proposed models of an atom given in this chapter.
Thomson's model : A molecule comprises of an emphatically accused circle of electrons installed in it.
Rutherford's model : An atom comprises of a decidedly charged molecule assembled at the middle known as the nucleus. The size of nucleus exceptionally little when contrasted with the size of the atom. The electron spin around the nucleus in clear cut circles.
Bohr's model : There are just sure circles known as discrete circles inside the atom in which electrons rotate around the nucleus. Electrons don't emanate energy while rotating.
If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then (i) what is the atomic number of the atom? and (ii) what is the charge on the atom?
With the help of Table 4.1, find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.
For the symbol H,D and T tabulate three sub-atomic particles found in each of them.
Explain with examples (i) Atomic number, (ii) Mass number, (iii) Isotopes and iv) Isobars. Give any two uses of isotopes.
Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.
The average atomic mass of a sample of an element X is 16.2 u. What are the percentages of isotopes 168 X and 188 X in the sample?
Draw a sketch of Bohr’s model of an atom with three shells.
Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.
Na+ has completely filled K and L shells. Explain.
Write the electronic configuration of any one pair of isotopes and isobars.
Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?
State the universal law of gravitation.
Which of the following are matter?
Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.
A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?
What is meant by a pure substance?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
State any two conditions essential for good health.
How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?
Who discovered cells, and how?
Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?
Which of the following are matter?
Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.
Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?
Are the answers to the above questions necessarily the same or different? Why?
Explain the following giving examples.
(a) saturated solution
(b) pure substance
(c) colloid
(d) suspension
In each of the following a force, F is acting on an object of mass, m. The direction of displacement is from west to east shown by the longer arrow. Observe the diagrams carefully and state whether the work done by the force is negative, positive or zero.

(a) 1 mole of nitrogen atoms?
(b) 4 moles of aluminium atoms (Atomic mass of aluminium = 27)?
(c) 10 moles of sodium sulphite (Na2SO3)?
Write the formula to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and an object on the surface of the earth.
What do we call the gravitational force between the earth and an object?
A stone is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s2, find the maximum height reached by the stone. What is the net displacement and the total distance covered by the stone?
