Q. No.The Rutherford \(α -\)particle experiment shows that most of the \(α -\)particles pass through almost unscattered while some are scattered through large angles. What information does it give about the structure of the atom?
1.
The atom is hollow.
2.
The whole mass of the atom is concentrated in a small center called the nucleus.
3.
The nucleus is positively charged.
4.
All of the above
What is the ratio of the speed of an electron in the first orbit of an \(\mathrm{H}\text-\)atom to the speed of light?
| 1. | \(\dfrac{1}{137}\) | 2. | \(137\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{1}{83}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{1}{47}\) |
1. \(f_1-f_2=f_3\)
2. \(f_2-f_1=f_3\)
3. \(f_1+f_2=f_3\)
4. \(2f_1 = f_2 + f_3\)
| 1. | \(5\rightarrow 4\) | 2. | \(3\rightarrow 2\) |
| 3. | \(2\rightarrow 1\) | 4. | \(3\rightarrow 1\) |

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in the second orbit of a hydrogen atom is equal to:
| 1. | The perimeter of the orbit. |
| 2. | The half of the perimeter of the orbit. |
| 3. | The half of the diameter of the orbit. |
| 4. | The diameter of the orbit. |
1. \(1:1\)
2. \(1:2\)
3. \(1:4\)
4. \(2:1\)
In \(1911\), the physician Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have a tiny, dense nucleus by shooting positively charged particles at a very thin gold foil. A key physical property that led Rutherford to use gold was that it was:
1. electrically conducting
2. highly malleable
3. shiny
4. non-reactive
Which statement about the Rutherford model of the atom is not true?
| 1. | There is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus. |
| 2. | Nearly all the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus. |
| 3. | The size of the nucleus is the same as that of the atom. |
| 4. | Electrons occupy the space surrounding the nucleus. |
Which of the following curves represents the variation in the number of \(\alpha \text-\)particles scattered \((N)\) with the scattering angle \((\theta)\) in Rutherford's \(\alpha \text-\)particle scattering experiment?
| 1. |  |
2. |  |
| 3. |  |
4. |  |
