Observations of Rutherford’s Experiments: Almost all the particles passed through the foil undeflected. Out of 20,000 particles, only a few were deflected at fairly large angles and very few bounced back on hitting the gold foil What are the defects of Rutherford’s atomic model? Defects of Rutherford’s atomic model: 1. According to classical theory of radiation, electron being the charged particles should release energy continuously and they should ultimately fall into the nucleus and so atom should be unstable but in fact atom is stable. 2. If the electron emit energy continuously, they should form a continues spectrum but in fact atom show only line spectrum. Give any two postulates of Bohr’s atomic theory. Postulates of Bohr’s atomic theory: 1. The hydrogen atom consists of a tiny nucleus and electrons are revolving in one of circular orbits of radius ‘r’ around the nucleus. 2. Each orbit has a fixed energy that is quantized As long as electron remains in an orbit, it does not emit or absorb energy. When does it emit or absorb energy? When an electron jumps from higher to lower orbit it emits energy. When it jumps from lower to higher orbit it absorbs energy. Differentiate between Rutherford’s theory and Bohr’s theory?

Difference between radioactive-isotopes dating and carbon dating: Radioactive-lsotope Dating The method of age determination of very old objects based on the half lives of the radioactive isotopes is called isotope dating radioactive- Carbon Dating The method of age determination of old carbon containing objects (fossils) by measuring the radioactivity of C in them is called carbon dating. Define nuclear fission reaction. When slow neutrons are bombarded on a heavy nucleus, it breaks up into two smaller nuclei. This process is called nuclear fission reaction. A large amount of energy is released in this process, Example: 733U + jn > 122Ba + 3éKr + 34n + Energy U-235 fission produces two atoms of which elements? U-235 fission produces Barium (Ba-139) and Krypton (Kr-94). How many neutrons are produced in the fission reaction of U-235? Three neutrons are produced in the fission reaction of U-235 as shown in the equation. 234U + jn ————_+132Ba + 34Kr + 3)n + Energy For what purpose U-235 is used? U-235 is fissioned by carrying out controlled nuclear fission reactions in nuclear reactors. A large amount of energy is released in this process. This energy is used to convert water into steam in boilers. The steam then drives turbines to generate electricity.
