Chemistry · Structure of atom
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding the properties of cathode rays and anode rays: (A) Cathode rays start from the cathode and move towards the anode. (B) Penetrating power of \( \alpha \)-particles is least compared to \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \) rays. (C) Neutrons are deflected by magnetic fields because they possess a neutral charge. (D) The atomic number (\( Z \)) equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
Only three
Explanation
Statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct. Statement (C) is incorrect because neutral particles (neutrons) are NOT deflected by magnetic fields.
