Charged Particles in Matter Questions in English

(B) Canal rays are positively charged radiations that can pass through a perforated cathode plate.
These rays consist of positively charged particles known as protons.
They were discovered by Eugen Goldstein in $1886$.

(C) An electron is a negatively charged particle,whereas a proton is a positively charged particle.
The magnitude of their charges is equal $(1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ C)$.
Since the atom contains one electron ($-1$ charge) and one proton ($+1$ charge),the net charge is $(-1) + (+1) = 0$.
Therefore,an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge and will be a neutral atom.

(B) The three sub-atomic particles of an atom are:
$(i)$ Protons: Positively charged particles found in the nucleus.
$(ii)$ Electrons: Negatively charged particles revolving around the nucleus.
$(iii)$ Neutrons: Neutral particles found in the nucleus.

(N/A) The subatomic particles,namely electrons,protons,and neutrons,differ in their charge,mass,and location within the atom as summarized below:

Particle	Nature of Charge	Mass	Location
Electron	Negatively charged	$9.11 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$	Extra-nuclear region (orbits/shells)
Proton	Positively charged	$1.672 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ (approx. $1 \text{ amu}$)	Nucleus
Neutron	Neutral (no charge)	$1.675 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ (approx. $1 \text{ amu}$)	Nucleus

$1$. Electrons are the lightest particles,carrying a negative charge,and revolve around the nucleus in specific shells.
$2$. Protons are positively charged particles located inside the nucleus,contributing significantly to the atomic mass.
$3$. Neutrons are electrically neutral particles also found within the nucleus,having a mass nearly equal to that of a proton.

(N/A)

Thomson's model	Rutherford's model	Bohr's model
An atom consists of a positively charged sphere and the electrons are embedded in it.	An atom consists of a positively charged center called the nucleus. The mass of the atom is contributed mainly by the nucleus.	Bohr agreed with almost all points as said by Rutherford except regarding the revolution of electrons,for which he added that there are only certain orbits known as discrete orbits inside the atom in which electrons revolve around the nucleus.
The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. As a result,the atom is electrically neutral.	The size of the nucleus is very small as compared to the size of the atom.	While revolving in its discrete orbits,the electrons do not radiate energy.

(C) sodium atom $(Na)$ and a sodium ion $(Na^+)$ differ by exactly one electron.
For $100 \, mol$ of sodium atoms and $100 \, mol$ of sodium ions, the difference in mass is due to $100 \, mol$ of electrons.
Given, mass of $100 \, mol$ of electrons $= 5.48002 \, g$.
Mass of $1 \, mol$ of electrons $= \frac{5.48002}{100} \, g = 0.0548002 \, g$.
Since $1 \, mol$ contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ electrons (Avogadro's number), the mass of one electron is calculated as:
Mass of one electron $= \frac{0.0548002 \, g}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 9.108 \times 10^{-26} \, g$.
Wait, recalculating: $0.0548002 / 6.022 \approx 0.0091 \times 10^{-23} = 9.1 \times 10^{-26} \, g$ is incorrect. Let's re-evaluate: $5.48002 \, g / 100 = 0.0548002 \, g$. Dividing by $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ gives $9.1 \times 10^{-26} \, g$. Converting to $kg$: $9.1 \times 10^{-29} \, kg$.
Correction: The standard mass of an electron is $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$. The provided value $5.48002 \, g$ for $100 \, mol$ is consistent with $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$ because $100 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg = 5.48002 \times 10^{-2} \, kg = 5.48002 \, g$.

(A) An atom is electrically neutral because it contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. While the number of neutrons can vary (leading to isotopes),the number of protons and electrons must be equal for the atom to remain neutral.

(C) An atom consists of protons,neutrons,and electrons.
Protons carry a positive charge,while electrons carry a negative charge.
In a neutral atom,the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
Since the magnitude of the positive charge of a proton is exactly equal to the magnitude of the negative charge of an electron,they cancel each other out.
Therefore,the atom as a whole is electrically neutral.

(N/A) The particle discovered by $J. Chadwick$ is the neutron.
It is located in the nucleus of the atom along with protons.

(D) The neutron was discovered by James Chadwick in $1932$. He bombarded beryllium atoms with alpha particles,which resulted in the emission of neutral particles that he identified as neutrons.

(N/A) $(i)$ The scientist who discovered neutrons is $J. Chadwick$.
$(ii)$ $A$ neutron has no electric charge (it is neutral) and its mass is approximately $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$, which is nearly equal to the mass of a proton.
$(iii)$ Neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom along with protons.

(N/A) Canal rays are positively charged radiations produced in a gas discharge tube. They were discovered by $E. \text{ Goldstein}$. The charge of canal rays is positive,and their mass is approximately equal to the mass of a proton $(1 \text{ atomic mass unit})$.
$(b)$ Canal rays are positively charged,whereas electrons are negatively charged. The mass of an electron is extremely small,approximately $1/1837$ (or often approximated as $1/2000$) of the mass of a proton (canal ray).

(N/A)

Feature	Electron, Proton, and Neutron Differences
$1.$ Charge	Electron has a negative charge, Proton has a positive charge, and Neutron has no charge.
$2.$ Location	Electron is present in orbits around the nucleus, whereas both Proton and Neutron are present inside the nucleus.
$3.$ Mass	The mass of an electron is negligible ($\frac{1}{2000}$ times that of a proton), while the mass of both proton and neutron is approximately $1$ atomic mass unit $(amu)$.

(N/A) The charge of an electron is $-1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$.
The mass of an electron is approximately $9.109 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$,which is about $\frac{1}{1837}$ (often approximated as $\frac{1}{2000}$) times the mass of a proton.

(C) In a neutral atom,the number of negatively charged electrons is always equal to the number of positively charged protons in the nucleus. This balance ensures that the atom remains electrically neutral. While the number of neutrons can vary (leading to isotopes),the equality between electrons and protons is a fundamental property of any neutral atom.

(D) The fundamental charge of an electron is a constant value in physics and chemistry.
It is experimentally determined to be approximately $1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$.
Since an electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle,its charge is represented as $-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$.
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

(B) The proton was discovered by $E. Goldstein$ in $1886$ through his canal ray experiments.
The neutron was discovered by $J. Chadwick$ in $1932$ when he bombarded beryllium with alpha particles.
Therefore,the correct association is that protons were identified by $E. Goldstein$ and neutrons by $J. Chadwick$.
