Card 1Discovery of Subatomic Particles

What did J.J. Thomson discover and how did he determine the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron?

Answer

Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 through cathode ray experiments. He used perpendicular electric and magnetic fields to deflect cathode rays and measured their deflection. By balancing the elec

Card 2Electron Properties

Calculate the mass of an electron using the charge-to-mass ratio and the charge on electron.

Answer

Given: e/m_e = 1.75882 × 10¹¹ C kg⁻¹ and e = 1.602176 × 10⁻¹⁹ C Formula: m_e = e ÷ (e/m_e) Step 1: m_e = (1.602176 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) ÷ (1.75882 × 10¹¹ C kg⁻¹) Step 2: m_e = 9.1094 × 10⁻³¹ kg Answer: The mass

Card 3Atomic Models

What is the key difference between Rutherford's nuclear model and Thomson's plum pudding model?

Answer

Thomson's Model: Positive charge uniformly distributed throughout the atom with electrons embedded in it (like plums in pudding). Rutherford's Model: Positive charge concentrated in a tiny nucleus at

Card 4Atomic Number and Mass Number

Define atomic number and mass number. How are they used to represent an isotope?

Answer

Atomic Number (Z): Number of protons in nucleus = number of electrons in neutral atom. Mass Number (A): Total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) in nucleus. Formula: A = Z + n (where n = number o

Card 5Atomic Structure

Calculate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in ⁸⁰₃₅Br.

Answer

Given: ⁸⁰₃₅Br means A = 80, Z = 35 Step 1: Number of protons = Z = 35 Step 2: Number of electrons (neutral atom) = Z = 35 Step 3: Number of neutrons = A - Z = 80 - 35 = 45 Answer: Protons = 35, Electr

Card 6Planck's Quantum Theory

What is Planck's quantum theory and how does it explain black body radiation?

Answer

Planck's Quantum Theory (1900): Energy is not emitted continuously but in discrete packets called quanta. Energy of quantum: E = hν (where h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, ν = frequency) Black Body Radiation: H

Card 7Quantum Theory and Photons

Calculate the energy of one mole of photons with frequency 5 × 10¹⁴ Hz.

Answer

Given: ν = 5 × 10¹⁴ Hz, h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10²³ Step 1: Energy of one photon using E = hν E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s)(5 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹) = 3.313 × 10⁻¹⁹ J Step 2: Energy of one

Card 8Photoelectric Effect

Explain the photoelectric effect and how Einstein's quantum theory explains it.

Answer

Photoelectric Effect: When light strikes a metal surface, electrons are ejected with kinetic energy. Classical Physics Failed: According to wave theory, brighter light should eject faster electrons, b
