10. How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and magnesium?

Ans: If the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom of an element is less than or equal to 4, then the valency of the element is equal to the number of electrons in the outermost shell. On the other hand, if the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom of an element is greater than 4, then the valency of that element is determined by subtracting the number of electrons in the outermost shell from 8.

(i) Valency of chlorine = 8 – Number of electrons in the valence shell
                                    = 8 – 7 = 1
(ii) Valency of sulphur = 8 – Number of electrons in the valence shell
                                    = 8 – 6 = 2
(iii) Valency of magnesium = Number of electrons in the valence shell= 2

11. If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then (i) what is the atomic number of the atom and (ii) what is the charge on the atom?

Ans:  (i) Atomic number = number of protons=  8
(ii) The charge on the atom is zero, because total number of positive charges due to the protons is equal to total number of negative charges due to electrons

12. With the help of the given table, find the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.

Element       Symbol        No. of Protons       No. of Neutrons     No. of Electrons
Oxygen       O                 8                           8                          8
Sulphur        S                 16                         16                         16
Ans: The mass number of oxygen   =  No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons    
       =8+8=16 u           
The mass number of oxygen           = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons
 =16+ 16= 32 u

16. What are the limitations of J.J. Thomson’s model of the atom?

Ans: J.J. Thomson’s fail to explain how electrons are arranged in positively charged sphere of an atom.

17. What are the limitations of Rutherford’s model of an atom?

Ans: Rutherford fail to explain how electron revolving round nucleus in well define orbit undergo acceleration without losing or gaining energy.
If an electrically charged particle revolves around a circular path, then it always radiates out energy, gradually move towards the nucleus in a spiral path, till fall into the nucleus. If this happen atoms may be unstable. This is not true.

18. Describe Bohr’s model of the atom.

Ans: Bohr’s model of the atom
 (i) Electrons are allowed inside the atom in special orbit or shell he called the energy levels   K, L, m and N
(ii) While revolving in these discrete orbits, the electrons do not radiate energy.
(iii) Each energy level has a fixed amount of energy. The orbit nearest to the nucleus has minimum energy, whereas the orbit farthest from the nucleus has highest energy.
(iv) There is no change in the energy of electrons as long as they revolve in the same orbit and remain stable. But if an electron gains energy, it jumps to a higher energy level and if it loses energy it falls to a lower energy level.
(v) The mass of the atom is almost entirely due to the nucleus, as electrons have negligible mass

19. Compare all the proposed models of an atom given in this chapter
Ans:
Thomson’s Model                
Rutherford’s Model                          
Bohr’s Model
An atom is positively charged sphere and electrons are embedded in it.
An atom has positively charged centre and electrons revolve around it
An atom has positively charged centre and electrons revolve around it in special energy level.

20.i f bromine atom is available in the form of, say, two isotopes 7935 Br (49.7%) and 8135 Br (50.3%), calculate the average atomic mass of bromine atom.

Ans:  the average atomic mass of bromine atom = 49.7% of 79 + 50.3% of 81= 39.263+40.743 = 80.006 u = 80 u,

21. Summaries the rules for writing distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements.

Ans. (i) The maximum number of electrons revolving around the nucleus of an atom in different  shells is given by the formula 2n2, where n is the number of the shell as counted from the nucleus of an atom. So,
Maximum number of electrons in shell number 1 = 2n2 = 2(1) 2 = 2
Maximum number of electrons in shell number 2 = 2n2 = 2(2) 2 = 8
Maximum number of electrons in shell number 3 = 2n2 = 2(3) 2 = 18
(ii) The outermost shell will not have more than 8 electrons. For example, if there are 9 electrons after filling the first two shells then in the third shell there will be 8 electrons and one electron goes to the fourth cell.

22. Define valency by taking examples of silicon and oxygen.

Ans. The number of electrons given or received or shared by an atom of an element, to gain electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas is called its valency.
The valency is equal to the number of electrons in the outermost shell (valence shell) of an atom, provided it has 1 to 3 electrons in it. Such atoms are generally metals.
The valency is equal to 8 – number of electrons in valence shell of an atom, provided it has 4 to 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Silicon has electronic configuration 2(K), 8(L), 4(M). As silicon has four electrons in its valence shell, therefore, its valency is (8 – 4) = 4.
Oxygen has electronic configuration 2 (K), 6(L). As oxygen has six electrons in its valence shell, therefore, its valency is (8 – 6) = 2

23. Explain with examples (i) atomic number (ii) mass number (iii) isotopes and (iv) isobars.  Give any two uses of isotopes.

Ans. (i) Atomic number : The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called its atomic number.
Example : Chlorine has 17 protons in its nucleus, therefore, its atomic number is 17.
(ii) Mass number : The number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom is known as its mass number.
Example : Sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons in its nucleus, therefore, its mass number is (11 + 12) = 23.
(iii) Isotopes : Atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes.
Example : Chlorine has two isotopes 3517Cl and 3717 Cl , in which atomic number is 17 for both, but mass numbers are 35 and 37.
(iv) Isobars : Atoms of different elements having the same mass number, but different atomic numbers are known as isobars.
Example : Calcium and argon atoms have the same mass number 40, but different atomic numbers 20 and 18 respectively.

Uses of Isotopes

1. Isotope of uranium 23592U is used as a nuclear fuel in atomic reactors.
2. Cobalt – 60, an isotope of cobalt is used in the treatment of cancer.
3.Isotopes of iodine is used to treat goitor

24. Na+ has completely filled K and L shells. Explain.

Ans. Na loose 1 electron to form sodium ion Na+ . So, Na+ ion has one electron less than Na atom i.e., it has 10 electrons.  Therefore, Electronic configuration of Na+ = 2,8  completely filled k(2) and(8) l shells

25. If bromine atom is available in the form of, say, two isotopes 7935 Br (49.7%) and 8135 Br (50.3%), calculate the average atomic mass of bromine atom.

Ans:  the average atomic mass of bromine atom = 49.7% of 79 + 50.3% of 81= 39.263+40.743 = 80.006 u = 80 u,

26. The average atomic mass of a sample of an element X is 16.2 u. What are the percentages of isotopes 16 8 X and 18X in the sample?

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
