In Rutherford’s experiment, generally the thin foil of heavy atoms, like gold, platinum etc. have been used to be bombarded by the α-particles. If the thin foil of light atoms like Aluminium etc. is used, what difference would be observed from the above results? Ans. Rutherford used alpha rays scattering to reveal the structure of the atom in 1911. The nucleus of heavy atoms is big and carries a lot of positive charge. As a result, when certain alpha particles hit the nucleus, they are easily deflected back. A number of alpha particles are also deflected at tiny angles due to the nucleus’s substantial positive charge.

Q.42. An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol. Ans. Given, Mass number of the element = 81, which implies that (number of protons + number of neutrons) = 81 Let the number of protons in the element be x. Therefore, number of neutrons in the element = x + 31.7% of x = x + 0.317 x = 1.317 x ⇒ x + 1.317x = 81 2.317x = 81 = 34.95 Therefore, total number of protons = 35, which implies that atomic number = 35.

The bromine atom possesses 35 electrons. It contains 6 electrons in 2p orbital, 6 electrons  NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 2 Structure of Atom in 3p orbital and 5 electrons in 4p orbital. Which of these electron experiences the lowest effective nuclear charge? Ans. The nuclear charge that is experienced by electrons (which are present in atoms containing multiple electrons) depends on the distance between its orbital and the nucleus of the atom. The greater the distance, the lower the effective nuclear charge. Among p-orbitals, 4p orbitals are the farthest from the nucleus of the bromine atom with (+35) charge. Hence, the electrons that reside in the 4p orbital are the ones to experience the lowest effective nuclear charge. These electrons are also shielded by electrons that are present in the 2p and 3p orbitals along with the s-orbitals. Q.64. Among the following pairs of orbitals which orbital will experience the larger effective nuclear charge? (i) 2s and 3s, (ii) 4d and 4f, (iii) 3d and 3p Ans. The nuclear charge can be defined as the net positive charge that acts on an electron in the orbital of an atom that has more than 1 electrons. It is inversely proportional to the distance between the orbital and the nucleus. (i)Electrons that reside in the 2s orbital are closer to the nucleus than those residing in the 3s orbital and will, therefore, experience greater nuclear charge. (ii)4d orbital is closer to the nucleus than 4f orbital and will, therefore, experience greater nuclear charge. (iii)3p will experience greater nuclear charge (since it is closer to the nucleus than the 3f orbital). Q.65. The unpaired electrons in Al and Si are present in 3p orbital. Which electrons will experience more effective nuclear charge from the nucleus? Ans.

The greater the atomic number, the greater the nuclear charge. Silicon holds 14 protons while aluminium holds only 13. Therefore, the nuclear charge of silicon is greater than that of aluminium, implying that the electrons in the 3p orbital of silicon will experience a more effective nuclear charge than aluminium.
