Q:

Atoms have no electric charge because they

A) have same number of electrons and neutrons B) have same number of electrons and protons
C) have same number of protons and neutrons D) have same number of protons, electrons and neutrons
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) have same number of electrons and protons

Explanation:

Atoms are composed of three main particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. We know that, the electrons are negatively charged particles whereas protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge.

 

Hence, as the number of electrons and protons are equal and they are oppositely charged, the atom will have no charge as their charges cancel each other.

Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

 


To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind are prone, no superhuman brain is required. A few simple rules will keep you free, not from all errors, but from silly errors. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself. Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted. Thinking that you know when in fact you do not is a bad mistake, to which we are all prone. I believe myself that hedgehogs eat black beetles, because I have been told that they do; but if I were writing a book on the habits of hedgehogs, I should not commit myself until I had seen one enjoying this diet. Aristotle, however, was less cautious. Ancient and medieval writers knew all about unicorns and salamanders; not one of them thought it necessary to avoid dogmatic statements about them because he had never seen one of them.

 

The author is in favour of drawing conclusions on the basis of

 

A) discussion B) consultation
C) observation D) reasoning
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) observation
