Answer
Answer: (a)Q.2. Assertion : Thomson’s atomic model is known as ‘raisin pudding’ model.
Reason : The atom is visualized as a pudding of positive charge with electrons (raisins) embedded in it.
Answer
Answer: (a)Q.3. Assertion : The mass of the total number of protons and neutrons is a measure of the approximate mass of an atom.
Reason : The mass of an electron is negligible.
Answer
Answer: (a)Q.4. Assertion : Electrons moving in the same orbit will lose or gain energy.
Reason : On jumping from higher to lower energy level, the electron will gain energy
Answer
Answer: (d)Q.5. Assertion : Isotopes are electrically neutral.

Answer
Answer: (a)Q.9. Assertion : Isobars are identical in chemical properties.
Reason : Isobars have same atomic number.
Answer
Answer: (d)Q.10. Assertion : Anions are larger in size than the parent atom.
