Which of the following has lowest e/m ratio?

Correct answer: D. Be

  • A. Li+2
  • B. H+
  • C. He+
  • D. Be

Explanation

The charge to mass ratio is called the e/m ratio. e/m ratio is a physical quantity, widely used in the electrodynamics of charged particles. All we have to do in this scenario is divide the net charge of the species given in the options by their respective relative atomic mass. As Be is practically neutral, it has no net charge or a charge of zero making its e/m zero as well; the lowest out of the options provided.e/m value of cathode ray particle is (1.758820088±39)×1011 [C/kg]

About Electronic Configuration

Electronic configuration describes how electrons occupy shells, subshells and orbitals around an atom. Questions use the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle and Hund's rule to write configurations, identify valence electrons, form ions and explain periodic trends, including common exceptions such as chromium and copper.
