What is the atomic number of gold ?
When an $\alpha -$particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ bombards on a heavy nucleus of charge $Z_e$ , its distance of closest approach from the nucleus depends on $m$ as
The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom when the system moves from $2E$ level to $E$, emitting a photon of wavelength $\lambda $. The wavelength of photon produced during its transition from $\frac{4E}{3}$ level to $E$ is

Why atoms are electrical neutral ?
An $\alpha$- particle of $5\ MeV$ energy strikes with a nucleus of uranium at stationary at an scattering angle of $180^o$. The nearest distance upto which $\alpha$- particle reaches the nucleus will be of the order of
