Q.2(j) An atoms electrically neutral, why?
casi vIn an afom, the number of protons is equal to number of electrons. The magnitude of charge ova proton is exact
tne as the charge on an electron but With opposite:sign. So the total positive charge is equal to total negate
charge. Hence an atom is overall a neutral particle.

Q.2(iii) How many sub-shells-are there in N shell?
‘Ans: For N-shell, the value of ‘n* = 4
‘As we know that; Number of sub shells in a shell = value of ‘n”
It means for N-shelly there aré four sub shells designated as 4s, 4p, 4d & 4f.

Q.2(v) List the sub-shells of M shell in order of increasing energy.
‘Ans: M shell has thee sub shells which are 3s, 3p) and 3d. The order of their increasing energy is 38 <3p <3d.
Q.2(vi) Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?

2.11 The atomic number of an element is 23 and its mass number is 56:
(2) How many protons and electrons does an atom of this element have?
(b) _How many neutrons does this atom have?

So an atom of this element has: :
Number of protons = 23,
Number of electrons =~ 23

14. How experimental results of some scientists help chemist to formulate new theories arid new
explanation.
r ‘was the first scichtist: who proposed first atomie model of an atom. He Suggested that all of the
“= positive charge and most of the mass of the afom is concentrated in the nucleus. The remaining volume of the
atom is occupied by electrons that revolve arotind the nucleus in circles called orbits. These: suggestions remain
‘© unchallenged. But his model could not explain the stability of an atom and line spectrum for an atom. 3
: leaped over difficulty by using Quantum theory of Radiation that was proposed by Max Plank. Bohr
proposed that an electron moves around the nucleus in well defined circular paths called orbits. An orbit has fixed
energy. Electron present in an orbit does not emit energy. Bohr’s atomic theory explains nicely the stability of an
atom and also explains why an atom gives line spectrum. Development of Bohr’s atomic model explains how
interpretations of experimental results of other scientists help chemist to formulate new explanation and new
