Short Answer Questions 15×2=30

i Why is it needed to lower the pressure of the gas inside the discharge tube? Constructed Response
ii A system just like our solar system exists in an atom. Comment on this statement. Investigative
iii How many neutrons are present in ________? (Fill in the blank with appropriate element)
iv How many times cesium bigger than helium?
v Differentiate between shell and sub shell with examples of each.
vi What are sub-atomic particles?
vii How almost all the mass of atom is concentrated in the nucleus? (directed toward nucleus)
viii How can we see an atom?
ix Define atomic mass.
x What is atomic number?
xi How ions and isotopes are formed?
xii What is the atomic number of carbon?
xiii Can two elements have the same atomic mass but different atomic number?
xiv What is Relative atomic mass?
xv Calculate the number of neutrons, protons and electrons in barium \( \frac{137}{56} \) Ba

Example 1: Barium atom notation: \( \frac{137}{56} \) Ba

Atomic mass (A) = 137, Atomic number (Z) = 56
Number of protons = Z = 56
Number of electrons = Number of protons = 56 (in neutral atom)
Number of neutrons = A – Z = 137 – 56 = 81
