Worked practice questions

A bismuth bar near a strong magnet on the lab table is:

  1. Weakly repelled, since bismuth is a diamagnetic substance
  2. Strongly attracted, similar to iron on the bench
  3. Unaffected entirely, since bismuth has no magnetic response
  4. Weakly attracted, since all metals respond to a magnet
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Weakly repelled, since bismuth is a diamagnetic substance

Bismuth is diamagnetic, hence weakly repelled.

Steps
  1. Thomson: a sphere of positive charge with electrons embedded in it
  2. Rutherford: mass and positive charge concentrated in a tiny nucleus
  3. Bohr: electrons in stable stationary orbits, from three postulates
Thomson, then Rutherford, then Bohr, each answering the last one's failure. Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 12 Atoms.

True or false: Rutherford's two difficulties

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    Rutherford's model predicts atoms should be unstable.
  2. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    That is because an accelerating electron would spiral into the nucleus.
  3. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    It also fails to explain the line spectra of elements.
  4. Statement is true
    No
    Statement
    Rutherford's model explains line spectra well.
  5. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    The nucleus is roughly one ten-thousandth the size of the atom.
The chapter names both failures explicitly. Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 12 Atoms.
