9th Class (CBSE) Science: Structure of the Atom

Question: Name the scientist who discovered protons and neutrons in an atoms.

Answer: Protons were discovered by E. Goldstein in 1866 and neutrons were discovered by J, Chadwick in 1932.

Question: What is the contribution of Bohr and Bury together in the structure of atom’s explanation?

Answer: Both Bohr and Bury gave the distribution of electrons into different atoms by giving the formula 2n2, where n = shell number.

Question: Draw the atomic structure of (i) an atom with same number of sub-atomic particles, (ii) an atom with same number of electrons in L and M shell.

Answer: (i) An atom with same number of sub-atomic particles is 24He

No. of protons = 2

No. of electrons = 2

Helium atom

(ii) An atom with L and M shell filled —->K L M- 2 8 8

Argon

Question: What is an octate? Why would atoms want to complete their octate?

Answer: When the outermost shell of an atom i.e., L, M or N are completely filled with 8 electrons in the shell, it is said an octate. Atoms would want to complete their octate because they want to become stable.

Question: Find the valency of 147N and 3517Cl.

Answer: The atomic number of nitrogen = 7, No. of protons = 7, No. of electrons = 7
Electronic configuration = K L M =2 5 –

Valency = 3
Because either it will gain three electrons or share 3 electrons to complete its octate.
The atomic number of chlorine = 17, p = 17, e=17
Electronic configuration = K L M= 2 8 7
Valency = 1
Because it will gain 1 electron to complete its octate.

Question: Pick up the isotopes among the following and state reason.

ncert-solutions-class-9-science-chapter-4-structure-atom-16

Answer: The isotopes are 3517X and 3717X as both the atoms show same atomic number but different mass number.

Question: Pick up atoms which have same number of neutrons from the following:ncert-solutions-class-9-science-chapter-4-structure-atom-17
Answer:

isotropes -1

Question: What are nucleons? What is the name given to those atoms which have same number of nucleons in it?

Answer: Protons and neutrons present in the nucleus are called nucleons Isobaric elements have same number of nucleons in it.

E.g.,

Protons
Neutrons
Protons+Neutrons
         
Argon

Question: Give the difference between three sub-atomic particles.

Answer: Three sub-atomic particles are electron, proton and neutron
