The name of the 1H1 is the protium.
Question 4. Which class is near the nucleus of the atom?
- K-class (shell)
- L-class (shell)
- M-class (shell)
- N-class (shell)
Answer: 1. K-class (shell)
K-class (shell) is the nearest the nucleus of the atom.
Question 5. How many neutrons are present in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 0
Answer: 4. 0
There are no neutrons in the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, hence mass number of hydrogen atoms is zero.
Question 6. Which one of the following elements has a 2, 8, 13, 1 electronic configuration?
- Chromium
- Copper
- Silver
- Palladium
Answer: 1. Chromium
The real electronic configuration of chromium is 2, 8, 13, 1 but according to Bohr, it’s 2, 8, 12, 2.
Question 7. The number of valence electrons present in Mg2+ ions is
- 16
- 8
- 17
- 18
Answer: 2. 8
Valency means several electrons are present in the outer shell.
For 12Mg(atom) =2, 8, 2, valence electrons = 7 But i2Mg+ 2 (ion) = 2, 8 valence electrons = 8
Question 8. Which of the following is the valency of an element, it has 2, 8, 2 electronic configurations.
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 0
Answer: 1. 2
The valency of an element is 2 because two electrons are present in the outer shell.
Question 9. Which one of the following is the electronic configuration of sodium?
- 2, 8
- 8, 2, 1
- 2, 1, 8
- 2, 8, 1
Answer: 4. 2, 8, 1
The atomic number of sodium is 11. So, electronic configuration 11N = 2, 8,1.
