Choose the correct option from the following options given below :
A.
In the ground state of Rutherford's model electrons are in stable equilibrium. While in Thomson's model electrons always experience a net-force.
B.
An atom has a nearly continuous mass distribution in a Rutherford's model but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in Thomson's model.
C.
A classical atom based on Rutherford's model is doomed to collapse.
D.
The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in Rutherford's model but not in Thomson's model.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
An atom based on classical theory of Rutherford's model should collapse as the electrons in continuous circular motion that is a continuously accelerated charge should emit EM waves and so should lose energy. These electrons losing energy should soon fall into heavy nucleus collapsing the whole atom.

The decay of a proton to neutron is :
A.
always possible as it is associated only with $\beta$+ decay
B.
possible only inside the nucleus
C.
not possible as proton mass is less than the neutron mass
D.
not possible but neutron to proton conversation is possible
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Positron emission or Beta plus decay is a subtype of radioactive decay called Beta decay, in which a proton inside a nucleus is converted into a neutron while releasing a positron and an electron neutrino.
So, decay of a proton to neutron is possible only inside the nucleus. Free proton cannot decay to neutron as mass of proton is less compared to neutron so to decay into higher mass, proton need extra energy which free proton can’t get, only proton inside nucleus can get.

B.

C.

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:

In hydrogen atom one electron present. Now that the electron in hydrogen atom is replaced by a muon ($\mu$).
We know, Energy(E) = $ - {{{e^4}m} \over {8\varepsilon _0^2{n^2}{h^2}}}$
For electron,
Ee = $ - {{{e^4}{m_e}} \over {8\varepsilon _0^2{n^2}{h^2}}}$ = 13.6 eV
For muon,

D.
The first member of the Lyman series, third member of Balmer series and second member of Paschen series.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
In transition A, hydrogen atom comes from higher energy state n = $\infty$ to lower energy state n = 1. Hence, transition A represents series limit of Lyman series. In transition B, hydrogen atom comes from higher energy state n = 5 to lower energy state n = 2. Hence, transition B represents 3rd line of Balmer series. In transition C, hydrogen atom comes from higher energy state n = 5 to lower energy state n = 3. Hence, transition C represents 2nd line of Paschen series.
