NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
It is observed that characteristic X-ray spectra of elements show regularity. When frequency to the power 'n' i.e. v n of X-rays emitted is plotted against atomic number Z , the following graph is obtained. The value of 'n' is
Options
- A1
- B2
- C1 2
- D3
Correct answer
C. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
The statement of moseley's law is: “The square root of the frequency of the x-ray emitted by an atom is proportional to its atomic number”. v ∝ Z - b So n = 1 2 Moseley is the scientist most directly responsible for realizing that the structure of the atom is key to understanding the elements themselves.
