  2. it is a fundamental particle

  3. it does not move

  4. it does not carry any charge


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The discovery of neutron came very late because it does not carry any charge.

Neutron was discovered by Chadwick.


To overcome the failure of proton-electron hypothesis, Rutherford, in 1920, proposed the existence of neutral particle made from a close combination of proton and electron. He named it a neutron.

In 1932, Lord Chadwick proved the existence of neutron by bombarding lighter elements (boron and beryllium) with alpha particles which resulted in the emission of highly penetrating neutral radiation.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{D}$.

The mass of neutron is of the order of:

The mass of $ _{3}^{7}{Li}$ is $0.042$ less than the mass of $3$ protons and $4$ neutrons. The binding energy per nucleon in $ _{3}^{7}{Li}$ is:

  1. $5.6 MeV$

  2. $56 MeV$

  3. $0.56 MeV$

  4. $560 MeV$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The mass defect for $\displaystyle _3^7Li$  is $\displaystyle \Delta m = 0.042$  amu.
1 amu $\displaystyle =931.5$ MeV
Binding energy $\displaystyle = 0.042 \times 931.5 = 39.123$ MeV
Total number of nucleons in $\displaystyle _3^7Li$  is 7 (3 protons and 4 neutrons).
Binding energy per nucleon $\displaystyle =  \dfrac {39.123}{7} = 5.6$ MeV.

The introduction of a neutron into the nuclear composition of an atom would lead to a change in:

  1. its atomic mass

  2. its atomic number

  3. the chemical nature of the atom

  4. number of the electron also


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The introduction of a neutron into the nuclear composition of an atom would lead to a change in its atomic mass.
However, its atomic number, the chemical nature of the atom and the number of the electron s will remain unchanged as they are related to the number of protons and are independent of the number of neutrons.

Note: The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. Chemical properties depends on number of electrons which are equal to number of protons in neutral atom. They are also equal to atomic number.

What is the order of density of neutron?

  1. $10^3$ kg/cc

  2. $10^6$ kg/cc

  3. $10^{12}$ kg/cc

  4. $10^2$ kg/cc


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Radius\ of\ neutron = 1\times 10^{-13}$
$\therefore$ volume $=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi  r^{3} = \frac{4}{3}\times \pi (1\times 10^{-13})^{3} = \dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 10^{-39}$
Mass of neutron $=1.6\times 10^{-27}$
$\therefore$ Density $=\dfrac{mass}{volume}$ $=\dfrac{3\times 1.6\times 10^{-27}}{4\times \pi \times 10^{-39}} = \dfrac{4.8}{4\times \pi }\times 10^{12}$ kg/cc

If A = Atomic mass, Z = Atomic number, then number of neutrons is equal to ?

  1. $A - Z$

  2. $A + Z$

  3. $Z - A$

  4. $\frac{Z}{A}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If A = Atomic mass, Z = Atomic number then the number of neutrons is equal to: 


$ A$ = Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

$Z$ = Atomic Number = Number of protons$

$A$ = $Z$ + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = $Z-A$

Neutron has a _______charge

  1. +ve

  2. -ve

The order (lowest to highest) of e/m (charge/mass) ratio for electron (e), proton (p), neutron (n) and alpha particle $(\alpha)$ is:

  1. $e, p, n, \alpha$

  2. $n, p, e, \alpha$

  3. $n, p, \alpha, e$

  4. $n, \alpha, p, e$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The increasing order (lowest to highest) of e/m (charge/mass) ratio is $ n < \alpha < p < e$.Neutron being neutral has zero charge and lowest e/m ratio. An electron has a unit charge but negligible mass. Hence, the electron has maximum e/m ratio.For an alpha particle, the e/m ratio is 2/4 or 0.5.For proton, e/m ratio is 1/1 or 1.
