VIII. Long answer.

Question 1.
What conclusions were made from the observations of Gold foil experiment?
Answer:
In Rutherford’s Alpha ray scattering experiment, the following conclusions were made from the observations.

  • Atom has a very small nucleus at the centre.
  • There is a large empty space around the nucleus.
  • The entire mass of an atom is concentrated in a very small positively charged region, which is called Nucleus.
  • The electrons are distributed in the vacant space around the nucleus.
  • The electrons move in circular paths around the nucleus.

Question 2.
Explain the postulates of Bohr’s atomic model.
Answer:
The main postulates of Neil’s Bohr are as follows.

  1. In atoms, electrons revolve around the nucleus in special orbits called discrete orbits or shells or energy levels.
  2. While the electrons revolve, they do not radiate energy.
  3. The circular orbits are numbered as 1,2,3,4 or designated as K, L, M, N shells. These numbers are referred as principal quantum numbers (n).
  4. K shell (n = 1) is closer to the nucleus and is associated with lowest energy. L, M, N are the next higher energy levels. As the distance from the nucleus increases, the energy of the shells also increase.
    Chapter 11 Atomic Structure Samacheer Kalvi Chapter 11
  5. The energy of each orbit or shell is a fixed quantity.
  6. As the distance from the nucleus increases, the size of the orbits also increases.
  7. The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in an energy level is 2n2 (n = quantum number of its orbit).
  8. When an electron absorbs energy, it jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level.
  9. When an electron returns from higher energy level to lower energy level, it gives off energy.

Question 3.
State the Gay Lussac’s law of combining volumes, explain with an illustration.
Answer:
Whenever gases react together, the volumes of the reacting gases and the products bear a simple whole number ratio, provided all the volumes are measured under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
Steps:

Question 2.
Calculate the number of neutrons in the following atoms:

  1. \(\begin{array}{l}{27} \\ {13}\end{array} \mathbf{A} \mathbf{I}\)
  2. \(\begin{array}{l}{31} \\ {15}\end{array}\)
  3. \(\begin{array}{l}{190} \\ {76}\end{array}\)
  4. \(_{24}^{54} C_{1}\)

Answer:
Number of neutrons (n) = Mass number (A) – Atomic number (z)

  1. \(\begin{array}{l}{27} \\ {13}\end{array} \mathbf{A} \mathbf{I}\) Number of neutrons (n) = 27 (A) – 13 (Z) = 14
  2. \(\begin{array}{l}{31} \\ {15}\end{array}\) Number of neutrons (n) = 31 (A) – 15 (Z) =16
  3. \(\begin{array}{l}{190} \\ {76}\end{array}\) Number of neutrons (n) = 190 (A) – 76 (Z) = 114
  4. \(_{24}^{54} C_{1}\) Number of neutrons (n) = 54 (A) – 24 (Z) = 30

Samacheer Kalvi 9th Science Atomic Structure In Text Problems

Question 1.
Calculate the atomic number of an element whose mass number is 39 and number of neutrons is 20. Also find the name of the element.
Solution:
Mass Number = Atomic number + Number of neutrons
Atomic Number = Mass number – Number of neutrons
= 39 – 20
Atomic Number = 19
Element having atomic number 19 is Potassium (K)

Question 2.
What is the Electronic configuration of Aluminium?
Electronic configuration of Aluminium atom: (Z = 13) K shell = 2 , L shell = 8 and M shell = 3 electron. So its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 3

Question 3.
Find the valency of Magnesium and Sulphur.
Answer:
Electronic configuration of magnesium is 2, 8, 2. So valency is 2.
Electronic configuration of sulphur is 2, 8, 6. So valency is 2 i.e.(8 – 6)
