The ratio of e/m values of a proton and an a-particle is:
Correct answer: A. 2:1
- A. 2:1
- B. 1:2
- C. 1:1
- D. 1:4
Explanation
Option A is correct.The ratio of e/m values of a proton and an alpha particle is 2:1. The charge of a proton is +1, and its mass is 1 u. The charge of an alpha particle is +2, and its mass is 4 u. The e/m value of a proton is therefore 1/1 = 1, and the e/m value of an alpha particle is 2/4 = 0.5. The ratio of these two values is 2/0.5 = 2:1.Therefore, the answer is 2:1.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
