Niels Bohr modified Rutherford's atomic model by proposing that: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Niels Bohr modified Rutherford's atomic model by proposing that:
A. Electrons have wave-like properties.
B. Electrons are embedded in a positive sphere.
C. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
D. Electrons revolve in fixed, discrete circular orbits called energy levels.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Niels Bohr proposed his model in 1913 to overcome the defects of Rutherford's model. He stated that electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific, discrete circular orbits (shells) with fixed energy, and they do not radiate energy while in these orbits, explaining atomic stability.

Question #1
The IUPAC name of methyl alcohol is:
A. Ethanol
B. Propanol
C. Butanol
D. Methanol

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Methyl alcohol (CH₃OH) is systematically named methanol (meth- = 1 carbon, -ol = alcohol). Ethanol = C₂H₅OH. Propanol = C₃H₇OH. Butanol = C₄H₉OH. Common name 'methyl alcohol' derives from methane. IUPAC names use alkane stem + 'ol'. Methanol is the simplest alcohol.

Question #2
In electroplating, the metal to be deposited is taken as:
A. Electrolyte
B. Salt bridge
C. Anode
D. Cathode

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The plating metal (e.g., silver) is the anode which dissolves to supply metal ions. The article to be plated is the cathode. Metal ions reduce on cathode.

Question #3
Which of the following elements has the smallest atomic radius in Group 1?
A. Sodium
B. Lithium
C. Potassium
D. Cesium

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Atomic radius increases down a group due to addition of shells. Lithium (Z=3, 2 shells) is the first element in Group 1 and has the smallest radius. Cesium has the largest. The effective nuclear charge also plays a role, but shell number dominates. Trend: Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs.
