Which subatomic particles are present in the nucleus of an atom?

Show answer

Protons, Neutrons

The nucleus contains protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral). Electrons revolve around the nucleus in shells. Positrons are not found in normal atoms.

2multiple correct

What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment prove?

Show answer

Most of the atom is empty space, The nucleus is very small, All positive charge is concentrated in the nucleus

Rutherford's experiment showed that most alpha particles passed through (empty space), few were deflected (small nucleus), and very few bounced back (concentrated positive charge). This disproved Thomson's model and Dalton's indivisible atom theory.

3multiple choice

What is the atomic number of an element with 11 protons?

Show answer

11

Atomic number equals the number of protons in the nucleus. An element with 11 protons has atomic number 11 (which is sodium).

4multiple correct

Which of the following are isotopes of hydrogen?

Show answer

Protium, Deuterium, Tritium

Protium (¹₁H), Deuterium (²₁H), and Tritium (³₁H) are the three isotopes of hydrogen with mass numbers 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Helium is a different element.
