Question: 1
From which word atom derived?
Answer: 1
1-39
Atom is derived from the Latin word"Atomos' meaning indivisible
Question: 2
How was the shown that atomic muclei are positively charged?
Answer: 2
2-39
The deflection of a few particles proved that there is a center of positive charge in an atom which is called nucleus of an atom.

Define atome according to Dalton?
Answer: 3
3-39

Question: 4
What are defects of Rutherford's atomic model?
Answer: 4
4-39
Following are the defect of Rutherford's atomic model. According to classical theory, electrons being charged particles should release or emit energy continuously and they should ultimately fall into nucleus.

Name the particles which determine the mass of an atom?
Answer: 8
8-39
Protons and neutrons determine the mass of an atom.

Define Electronic configuration?
Answer: 19
19-39
"The distribution of electrons around the nucleus in various shells and sub shells according to increasing energy, is called electronic configuration".

Question: 21
What is the classical theory of radiation? How does it differ from quantum theory?
Answer: 21
21-39
