Electron | MCQs

Explanation

• Atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged ions.
• These are known as Anions.

Explanation

• When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion.
• If it gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion).
• It it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).

Explanation

• When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion.
• If it gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion).
• It it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).

Explanation

The K orbit, also known as the first electron shell.

• It can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

The L orbit, also known as the second electron shell.

• It can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

The M orbit, also known as the third electron shell.

• It can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.

Explanation

• The formula 2n^2 helps in determining the maximum number of electrons present in an orbit, where n is the principal quantum number (energy level).
• This formula is based on the Aufbau principle and the Pauli exclusion principle, which describe how electrons occupy energy levels in an atom.

Explanation

• An atom typically has an equal number of electrons and protons.
• They are equal in number to the atomic number (Z) of the element.
• This number is unique to each element and determines the properties of the element.

Explanation

The first digital camera was invented by Steven Sasson, an engineer at Eastman Kodak, in 1975.

Sasson's camera used a monochrome Fairchild CCD image sensor.

It was the first self-contained electronic camera.

Explanation

 Sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living beings.

Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans.

Explanation

 A semiconductor has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, and silicon falls within this category

Explanation

In semiconductors, when an electron leaves its position in the valence band, it creates a "hole" which can act as a positive charge carrier.

This is why holes are primarily associated with semiconductors.
