What information do you get from the figure about the atomic number,mass number,and valency of atoms $X$,$Y$,and $Z$? Give your answer in a tabular form.

Which of the following species have $18$ electrons? $Ca^{2+}, K^{+}, Na, Cl^{-}, Ar$. Also,state the reason why the chemical properties of all isotopes of an element are similar.

Answer the following in one line or one word:
$(a)$ Who discovered the neutron?
$(b)$ On the basis of Thomson's model of an atom,explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.
$(c)$ What is the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost shell of an atom?
$(d)$ What term is assigned to the atoms of different elements having the same atomic mass but different atomic numbers?
$(e)$ How many neutrons are present in a hydrogen atom?

$(a)$ Calculate the number of electrons,protons,and neutrons in an atom of an element with atomic number $20$ and mass number $40$. Write the electronic configuration and draw the structure of the atom.
$(b)$ An atom has complete $K$ and $L$ shells. Is this an atom of a metal,non-metal,or noble gas? Justify.

Fill in the blanks in the following statements:
$(a)$ Rutherford's $\alpha$-particle scattering experiment led to the discovery of the ............
$(b)$ Isotopes have same ............ but different .............
$(c)$ Neon and chlorine have atomic numbers $10$ and $17$ respectively. Their valencies will be ............ and ............. respectively.
$(d)$ The electronic configuration of silicon is .......... and that of sulphur is ...........

Give reasons:
$(a)$ Mass number of an atom excludes the mass of an electron.
$(b)$ The nucleus of an atom is charged.
$(c)$ The alpha particle scattering experiment was possible by using gold foil only and not by foil of any other metal.
