NCERT Solution, MCQs, Study Notes, Q & A By JSUNIL Q.1: The average atomic mass of a sample of an element X is 16.2 u. What is the % of isotopes 16 8 X and 18 8 X in the sample? Ans: Let % of isotopes 16 8 X is y then 18 8 X in the sample is 100-y 16.2 = y% of 16 + (100-y)%of18 Þ 16.2 x100 = 16y+1800-18y Þ 1620-1800 =-2y Þ 180=2y Þ y = 90% % of isotopes 16 8 X is y = 90% then 18 8 X in the sample is 100-y =100-90=10% Q2: Why is it not possible to see an atom with naked eyes? Answer : The size of an atom is so small that it cannot be seen by naked eye or by simple optical instruments. e.g. Considering an atom a sphere, the radius of Hydrogen atom is approximately 10nano-metres (1 nm = 10 -9 m). To see atoms of different elements, a special type of microscope called scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) is used. Q3: Name the element having following Latin names (i) Stibium (ii) Cuprum (iii) Argentum
