Explanation
Bohr postulated that electrons in stationary orbits around the nucleus do not radiate
This is the one of Bohr’s postulate. According to this the moving electrons radiates only when they go from one orbit to the next lower orbit
Rutherford confirmed that the repulsive force on alpha-particle due to nucleus varies with distance according to inverse square law and that the positive charges are concentrated at the centre and not distributed throughout the atom
In α-particle scattering experiment, Rutherford found a small number of a-particle which were scattered back through an angle approaching to 180°. This is possible only if the positive charges arc concentrated at the centre or nucleus of the atom
According to classical electromagnetic theory, an accelerated charged particle continuously emits radiation. As electrons revolving in circular paths are constantly experiencing centripetal acceleration, hence they will be losing their energy continuously and the orbital radius will go on decreasing, form spiral and finally the electron will fall in the nucleus
According to postulates of Bohr’s atom model , the electron revolves around the nucleus in fixed orbit of definite radii. As long as the electron is in a certain orbit it does not radiate any energy
The whole mass of the atom is concentrated at nucleus and M nucleus < (Sum of the masses of nucleons) because, when nucleons combine some energy is wasted
When the atom gets appropriate energy from outside, then this electron rises to some higher energy level. Now it can return either directly to the lower energy level or come to the lowest energy level after passing through other lower energy levels, hence all possible transitions take place in the source and many lines are seen in the spectrum
We know that an electron is very light particle as compared to an a-particle. Hence electron cannot scatter the α-particle at large angles, according to law of conservation of momentum. On the other hand, mass of nucleus is comparable with the mass of α-particle, hence only the nucleus of atom is responsible for scattering of α-particles
Factual
the penetrating power is maximum in case of gamma rays because gamma rays are electromagnetic radiations of very small wavelength
β-particles, being emitted with very high speed compared to α-particle, pass for very little time near the atoms the medium. So the probability of the atoms being ionised is comparatively less. But due to this reason, their loss of energy is very slow and they can penetrate the medium through a sufficient depth
β-particles are emitted with very high velocity (up to 0.99 c). So, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, the mass of a β-particle is much higher compared to its rest mass (m0). The velocity of electrons obtained by other means is very small compared to c (velocity of light). So its mass remains nearly m0 But β-partic1e and electron both are similar particles
Nuclear force is nearly same for all nucleus
Electron capture occurs more often than positron emission in heavy elements. This because if positron emission is energetically allowed, electron capture is necessarily allowed, but the reverse is not true, i.e., when electron capture is energetically allowed, positron emission is not necessarily allowed
The given reaction is a nuclear reaction, which can take place only if a proton (a hydrogen nucleus) comes into contact with a lithium nucleus. If the hydrogen is in the atomic from, the interaction between it’s electron cloud and the electron cloud of a lithium atom keeps the two nuclei from getting close to each other. Even if isolated protons are used, they must be fired at the Li atom with enough kinetic energy to overcome the electric repulsion between the proton and Li atom
If in nuclear reaction binding energy per nucleon increases, energy is released
