The transition from the state $n = 4$ to $n = 3$ in a hydrogen like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition
$2 \to 1$
$3 \to 2$
$4 \to 2$
$5 \to 4$
Rutherford’s $\alpha$-particle experiment showed that the atoms have
Choose the correct alternative from the clues given at the end of the each statement:
$(a)$ The size of the atom in Thomson’s model is .......... the atomic size in Rutherford’s model. (much greater than/no different from/much less than.)
$(b)$ In the ground state of .......... electrons are in stable equilibrium, while in .......... electrons always experience a net force. (Thomson’s model/ Rutherford’s model.)
$(c)$ A classical atom based on .......... is doomed to collapse. (Thomson’s model/ Rutherford’s model.)
$(d)$ An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a .......... but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in .......... (Thomson’s model/ Rutherford’s model.)
$(e)$ The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in .......... (Rutherford’s model/both the models.)
An alpha particle colliding with one of the electrons in a gold atom loses
Given below are two statements :
$Statement$ $I$ : Most of the mass of the atom and all its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny nucleus and the electrons revolve around it, is Rutherford's model.
$Statement$ $II$ : An atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it, is a special case of Rutherford's model.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below.
