The size of the atom is of the order of (A) \(10^{-14} \mathrm{~m}\) (B) \(10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\) (C) \(10^{-8} \mathrm{~m}\) (D) \(10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The size of the atom is of the order of \(10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\) (Option B).

Step by step solution

01

Eliminate choices that are too small or too large

We can first eliminate choices A and D because they are too small and too large, respectively. Atomic sizes fall somewhere in between these two extreme values.
02

Compare remaining choices

Next, we need to compare the remaining choices (B) and (C). In general, the size of an atom is between \(10^{-10}\) and \(10^{-9}\) meters, which is why choice (B) is the correct answer here.
03

Answer:

The size of the atom is of the order of \(10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\) (Option B).

Read the following question and choose correct Answer form given below. (A) Both assertion and reason are true. Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion. (B) Both assertion and reason are true. Reason is not correct explanation of the assertion. (C) Assertion is true but reason is false. (D) Assertion is false and Reason are true. (i) Assertion :- In a radio-active disintegration, an electron is emitted by nucleus. Reason :- electron are always Present in-side the nucleus. (ii) Assertion :- An electron and Positron can annihilate each other creating Photon Reason:- Electron and Positron form a Particle and anti Particle pair. (iii) Assertion:- An isolated radioactive atom may not decay at all what ever be its half time Reason:- Radioactive decay is a statistical Phenomena. (iv) Assertion:- Fragment Produced in the fission of \(\mathrm{u}^{235}\) are active Reason:- The fragments have abnormally high Proton to neutron ratio
