1. Imagine that in any atom about 50% of the space is occupied by
the atomic nucleus. If a silver foil is bombarded with α-particles,
majority of the α-particles would :
(A) get scattered
(B) be absorbed by the nuclei
(C) pass through the foil undetected
(D) get converted into photons
2. The fraction of volume occupied by the nucleus with respect to the
total volume of an atom is :
(A) 10–15 (B) 10–5
(C) 10–30 (D) 10–10
3. When a gold sheet is bombarded by a beam of α-particles, only a
few of them get deflected whereas most go straight, undeflected.
This is because :
(A) The force of attraction exerted on the α-particle by the
oppositely charged electrons is not sufficient.
(B) A nucleus has a much smaller volume than that of atom
(C) The force of repulsion acting on the fast moving α-particles is
very small.
(D) The neutrons in the nucleus do not have any effect on the α-
particles.
4. Two particles A and B having same e/m ratio are projected
towards silver nucleus in different experiments with the same
speed. The distance of closest approach will be
(A) same for both (B) greater for A
(C) greater for B (D) depends on speed
5. Which of the following is not a conclusion of Rutherford’s atomic
model?
(A) Most of the part inside an atom is empty.
(B) Almost all mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus.
(C) The size of nucleus is very small in comparison to the size of
atom
(D) Electron revolves around the nucleus in definite orbits.
6. The ratio of specific charge of a proton and an -particle is :
(A) 2 : 1 (B) 1 : 2
(C) 1 : 4 (D) 1 : 1
7. The increasing order for the value of e/m (charge/mass) is
(A) e, p, n, (B) n, p, e,
(C) n, p, , e (D) n, , p, e
8. The mass to charge ratio (m/e) for a cation is 1.5 × 10–8 kg/C.
What is the mass of this cation?
(A) 2.4 × 10–19
(B) 2.4 × 10–27
(C) 2.4 10–24
(D) None of these
9. Rutherford’s experiment on scattering of alpha particles showed
for the first time that atom has :
(A) electrons (b) protons
(C) nucleus (D) neutrons
10. α-particles are represented by :
(A) lithium atoms (b) helium nuclei
(C) hydrogen nuclei (d) None of these
