A.
50
B.
200
C.
400
D.
100
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D. 100
Explanation:
After three half-lives, the remaining fraction is (1/2)^3=1/8.
800/8 = 100 nuclei.

A.
Emission of electrons from a surface when light of sufficient frequency falls on it
B.
Production of light by heated metals only
C.
Deflection of electrons by a magnetic field
D.
Creation of neutrons by visible light
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A. Emission of electrons from a surface when light of sufficient frequency falls on it
Explanation:
Photoelectric emission requires photon energy above the material's work function.
Increasing intensity mainly increases the number of emitted electrons.

A.
1/4
B.
1/2
C.
1/3
D.
1/8
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A. 1/4
Explanation:
Twelve hours equals two half-lives.
The remaining fraction is (1/2)^2 = 1/4.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Energy of every electron in the atom
B.
Minimum energy needed to remove an electron from its surface
C.
Maximum photon energy
D.
Energy stored in a capacitor
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B. Minimum energy needed to remove an electron from its surface
Explanation:
The work function depends on the material and surface condition.
Photoelectric emission begins when photon energy reaches this threshold.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Particles can never behave like waves
B.
Only photons have momentum
C.
Moving particles have an associated wavelength
D.
Mass and energy are unrelated
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C. Moving particles have an associated wavelength
Explanation:
Matter waves link momentum with wavelength through λ=h/p.
The effect is important at microscopic scales.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Any continuously variable electron energy
B.
The total mass of the atom
C.
The electric charge of the nucleus
D.
An allowed discrete energy state of an electron in an atom
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D. An allowed discrete energy state of an electron in an atom
Explanation:
Bound atomic electrons occupy quantized energy states.
Transitions between levels involve photon absorption or emission.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
B.
Atoms with different proton numbers but equal masses
C.
Ions with different charges only
D.
Molecules with different structures
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
Explanation:
Isotopes have the same atomic number and chemical identity.
Their mass numbers differ because neutron counts differ.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Chemical burning of atoms
B.
Spontaneous transformation of unstable nuclei with emission of radiation
C.
Forced ionization by heat only
D.
Reflection of electromagnetic waves
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B. Spontaneous transformation of unstable nuclei with emission of radiation
Explanation:
Radioactive decay is a nuclear process.
Its probability is characterized by a decay constant and half-life.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Time for all nuclei to decay
B.
Time for activity to double
C.
Time for half the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay
D.
Time for one atom to emit two particles
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C. Time for half the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay
Explanation:
After each half-life, the number of undecayed nuclei halves.
The process is statistical and exponential.

A.
150%
B.
37.5%
C.
76%
D.
75%
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D. 75%
Explanation:
Percentage yield = actual yield ÷ theoretical yield × 100.
(15 ÷ 20) × 100 = 75%.
Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
H₂
B.
Neither reactant
C.
Both reactants equally
D.
O₂
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D. O₂
Explanation:
The balanced equation fixes the required mole ratio.
Comparison of available amounts shows that O₂ is consumed first.
