परमाणु द्रव्यमानांक किसे कहते हैं? कार्बन का परमाणु क्रमांक 6 और परमाणु द्रव्यमानांक 12 हैं ये कैसे स्पष्ट करोगे?

Answer»

परमाणु द्रव्यमान का सीधा मतलब होता है किसी एक परमाणु का द्रव्यमान । हम जानते हैं कि किसी तत्व का परमाणु अतिसूक्ष्मतम कण होता है और इसे किसी तराजू पर तौलना अथवा मापना संभव नहीं है। इसलिए किसी परमाणु का द्रव्यमान किसी दूसरे परमाणु के द्रव्यमान के सापेक्ष ज्ञात किया जाता है।

रसायन विज्ञान के अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय संगठन (IUPAC) ने एक अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय आम सहमति के आधार पर कार्बन परमाणु के द्रव्यमान के बारहवें भाग को इकाई चुना। कहने का तात्पर्य यह है कि कार्बन-12 के एक परमाणु में 6 प्रोटॉन एवं 6 न्यूट्रॉन होते हैं जिससे इसकी द्रव्यमान संख्या 12 होती है | इसलिए इसे ठीक 12 परमाणु द्रव्यमान मात्रक (atomic mass unit-amu) द्रव्यमान दिया गया है।

तत्त्वों की संयोजकता किसे कहते हैं? सयोजकता इलेक्ट्रॉन संख्या और संयोजकता में क्या संबंध हैं लिखो ।

Answer»

संयोजकता- किसी तत्व के परमाणु द्वारा दिए जाने, लिए जाने या साझेदारी किए जाने वाले इलेक्ट्रॉन की संख्या, उस तत्व की संयोजकता कहलाती है।

हम जानते हैं कि किसी रासायनिक अभिक्रिया में केवल बाह्यतम कक्ष में उपस्थित इलेक्ट्रॉन या संयोजकता इलेक्ट्रॉन ही भाग लेते हैं। अत: संयोजकता निर्धारण में संयोजकता इलेक्ट्रॉन ही महत्त्वपूर्ण होते हैं। यदि किसी तत्त्व के परमाणु के संयोजकता इलेक्ट्रॉन 1, 2 या 3 हैं तो उसकी संयंजकता क्रमशः 1, 2 या 3 होगी। यदि तत्व के बाह्यतम कक्ष में 4 से 8 इलेक्ट्रॉन हैं तो उसकी संयोजकता (संयोजकतां इलैक्ट्रॉन-8) होगी।

उदाहरणार्थ- क्लोरोन या फ्लोरीन के बाह्यतम कक्ष में 7 इलेक्ट्रॉन हैं, तब उनकी संयोजकता 7-8 =-1 होगी। अतः क्लोरीन या फ्लोरीन के आयन को Cl या F से प्रदर्शित करेंगे।

Concerning the properties of radio graphic film: a. Optical density is a measure of film blackening based on the degree of transmission of incident light on the film b. Using double-sided emulsion has no effect on optical density c. The greater the optical density of a film, the lower the intensity of the transmitted light beam d. A useful range of optical densities is approximately 0.25–4 e. Different optical densities in areas within the same film are what produce image contrast when viewing the image

Answer»

a. True. Optical density = log10 Io/In, where Io is the intensity of incident light and In is the intensity of transmitted light. 

b. False. The optical densities for each layer are cumulative so that, for the same level of exposure, the densities are increased compared with using a single layer. 

c. True. Referring back to the equation in (a), if the optical density = 1, then only 10% of light is transmitted, as log10 10 =1. Likewise, if optical density = 2, then only 1% of light is transmitted (log10 100 = 2). 

d. False. Optical densities of around 2 may be seen with normal illumination; however, an optical density of 3 appears very dark and requires the use of a focal bright light to see through it. An optical density of 4 means that only 1/10,000 of the incident light has been transmitted, so the film will appear black. 

e. True. Contrast may be measured as the difference in optical densities: OD1 – OD2. This difference will be produced by the nature of the tissue being imaged.

26944.

Concerning the properties of radio graphic film, with reference to the characteristic curve: a. ‘Base plus fog’ refers to the optical density of unexposed, undeveloped emulsion b. Films with high speed are less sensitive to changes in exposure c. Film latitude refers to the range of exposures producing film darkening within the useful optical density range d. An increase in film gamma decreases film latitude e. Film speed is increased by using double-layered emulsion

Answer»

a. False. This refers to the inherent optical density of the film material plus unexposed developed emulsion. This should be less than 0.2. However, film that has been stored for too long a period or at too high a temperature may have higher values, in which case it should not be used. 

b. False. Film speed is a measure of film sensitivity when exposed, i.e. a high-speed film requires less exposure to produce a certain optical density than a film of low speed.

c. True. Films with narrow latitude require a smaller range of exposures to achieve darkening over the useful optical density range, i.e. they provide good contrast between tissues. Wide-latitude films are the reverse, requiring a greater range of exposures to achieve this range. 

d. True. Film gamma refers to the slope of the linear part of the characteristic curve and is the ratio of the differences between optical density and film exposure at two given points on the slope. If gamma increases, then film latitude decreases and contrast increases. These are inherent properties of any given film. 

e. True. The optical densities for each layer are cumulative so that, for a given exposure, the total optical densities will be greater than using a single layer. This assumes that the total thickness of emulsion is doubled.

26945.

Concerning the construction and processing of radio graphic film: a. Most films typically have a single layer of emulsion b. An emulsion of silver iodide is most commonly used c. The grain size of the emulsion is directly related to the speed of the film d. Production of the latent image occurs independently of the cation component of the emulsion e. Altering the order of the processing of exposed film does not significantly affect the overall image quality

Answer»

a. False. Most films usually have a double layer of emulsion attached to a polyester film base. This allows increased speed as two intensifying screens can be used. Mammography films usually are single-layered. 

b. False. Silver bromide is most commonly used. 

c. True. The larger the grain size, the faster the film. Larger grains provide a larger target for the light photons and so fewer photons are required to produce the image. 

d. False. Both the anion (bromide) and cation (silver) are required to produce the latent image: the bromide is the electron donor and the silver ion becomes deposited and later converted to the black silver atom to produce the image. 

e. False. Post-processing is vital in converting the latent image to a visible image. This requires the conversion of silver ions to visible silver atoms (electron gain) from electron donors (e.g. phenidone and hydroquinone), a process known as film development. Unexposed grains also need to be removed from the film (to render the film stable in light) and the process of development halted to prevent fogging, a process known as fixing.

26946.

Concerning noise within a radio graphic image: a. The level of noise decreases with increased patient dose b. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases with increased patient dose c. When imaging tissues with low inherent contrast (such as in mammography), the effect of noise is less significant d. When imaging tissues with high inherent contrast, the effect of noise is less significant e. The effect of noise can be reduced by using a film with high gamma

Answer»

a. False. Noise will increase as a proportion of the number of photons (n) that are detected in the image (as noise = √n). 

b. True. Although the amount of noise will increase with increasing patient dose, the actual SNR increases and so improves image quality. 

c. False. Noise is more significant. Differentiating between the nature of soft-tissue structures is more important when there is less inherent contrast within the tissues being imaged. Therefore, noise will prevent this differentiation. 

d. True. 

e. False. The higher film gamma produces more radio graphic contrast within the film for the same exposure, but also has the same effect on the noise, which is displayed in the image.

26947.
