The Bohr model of atom:

Assumes that the angular momentum of electron is quantized

Uses Einstein’s photoelectric equation

Predicts continuous emission spectra for atoms

Predicts the same emission spectra for all types of atoms

Rutherford is the unit of:

Radioactivity

Energy

Photoelectric current

Magnetic field

When the mass of a sample of a radioactive substance decreases, the mean life of the sample:

Increases

Decreases

Remain unchanged

First decreases then increases

The phenomena of radioactivity is:

Exothermic change with increase or decrease with temperature

Increases on applied pressure

Nuclear process does not depend on external factors

None of these

Fusion reaction takes place, at high temperature because:

Nuclei break up at high temperature

Atoms get ionised at high temperature

Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the coulomb repulsion between nuclei

Molecules break up at high temperature

When a nucleus in an atom undergoes a radioactive decay, the electronic energy levels of the atom

Do not change for any type of radioactivity.

Change for α and ß radioactivity but not for γ-radioactivity.

Change for α-radioactivity but not for others.

Change for ß-radioactivity but not for others.
