Assertion and reason

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Reason
    It gave no account of why the revolving electron does not fall into the nucleus.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Rutherford's model could not explain atomic stability.
  2. Reason
    A definite orbit requires exact position and exact velocity at once.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Bohr's model contradicts the uncertainty principle.
  3. Reason
    Three quantum numbers describe each quantised energy state.
    Verdict
    The assertion is false and the reason is true.
    Assertion
    The quantum numbers must be assumed before solving.
  4. Reason
    Alpha-particle scattering showed the mass is concentrated, not spread.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Thomson's model was abandoned.
The reason must genuinely explain the assertion. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Structure of Atom.

Questions
  1. False statement
    Bohr's model accounted for the electron's wave nature
    Statements
    1. Bohr explained the hydrogen spectrum
    2. Bohr's model failed for multi-electron atoms
    3. Bohr's model accounted for the electron's wave nature
  2. False statement
    Rutherford explained why the atom is stable
    Statements
    1. Rutherford explained why the atom is stable
    2. Rutherford found a tiny dense nucleus
    3. Rutherford's model resembled the solar system
  3. False statement
    Hund's rule forbids two electrons in one orbital
    Statements
    1. Pauli forbids identical sets of four quantum numbers
    2. Hund's rule forbids two electrons in one orbital
    3. Hund's rule fills singly before pairing
The false line always credits a model with something it could not do. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Structure of Atom.

Questions
  1. Question
    Three of these statements about Bohr's model are false.
    Choices
    1. Item
      It explained the hydrogen spectrum
      Correct
      Yes
    2. Explanation
      It could not explain their spectra.
      Item
      It worked for multi-electron atoms
    3. Explanation
      Bohr treated the electron as a particle in an orbit.
      Item
      It included the electron's wave nature
    4. Explanation
      A definite orbit contradicts that principle.
      Item
      It agrees with the uncertainty principle
  2. Question
    Three of these statements about Thomson's model are false.
    Choices
    1. Item
      Electrons embedded in positive charge
      Correct
      Yes
    2. Explanation
      That is Rutherford's picture, not Thomson's.
      Item
      It featured a dense central nucleus
    3. Explanation
      Alpha-particle scattering disproved it.
      Item
      It survived the scattering experiment
    4. Explanation
      Fixed orbits came later, with Bohr.
      Item
      It described fixed electron orbits
Each trap awards a model an achievement that belongs to a later one. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Structure of Atom.
