Answer

(c) Concept of electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy called orbits was put forward by Bohr and not derived from Rutherford’s scattering experiment.

Out of a large number of circular orbits theoretically possible around the nucleus, the electron revolve only in those orbits which have a tired value of energy. Hence, these orbits are called energy level or stationary states.

• (a) Most of the space in the atom is empty: This conclusion is correct and was derived from Rutherford’s experiment. The experiment showed that most $\alpha$-particles passed through the gold foil without deflection, indicating that atoms are mostly empty space.

• (b) The radius of the atom is about $10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ while that of nucleus is $10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$: This conclusion is also correct and was derived from Rutherford’s experiment. The deflection of a few $\alpha$-particles suggested the presence of a very small, dense nucleus, leading to the estimation of the atomic and nuclear radii.

• (d) Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction: This conclusion is correct and was derived from Rutherford’s experiment. The deflection patterns of the $\alpha$-particles indicated that the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons are held together by electrostatic forces.

Answer

(b) Correct configuration should be $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{10} 4 s^{1}$ for the copper which has atomic number $29\left({ }_{29} \mathrm{Cu}\right)$. Due to extra stability of full filled orbital of $d$-subshell, the last electron enter into $d$-orbital insted of $s$-orbital.

• Option (a): The configuration $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^8 4s^2$ is actually the correct ground state configuration for Nickel (Ni) with atomic number 28.Therefore, this option is not incorrect.

• Option (c): The configuration $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^{10} 4s^1$ is actually the correct ground state configuration for Copper (Cu) with atomic number 29. Therefore, this option is not incorrect.

• Option (d): The configuration $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^5 4s^1$ is the correct ground state configuration for Chromium (Cr) with atomic number 24. Therefore, this option is not incorrect.

Thinking Process

(i) To solve the problem, it keep in mind that s-orbital has spherical shape.

(ii) Probability density represents the probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom is proportional to the square of the orbital wave function i.e., $|\Psi|^{2}$ at that point.

Answer

(d) The probability density of electrons in $2 s$ orbital first increases then decreases and after that it begins to increases again as distance increases from nucleus.

• Option (a): This option is correct. Both $1s$ and $2s$ orbitals are indeed spherical in shape, so there is no reason to consider it incorrect.

• Option (b): This option is incorrect. For the $1s$ orbital, the probability of finding the electron is indeed maximum near the nucleus. However, for the $2s$ orbital, there is a node (a region of zero probability) near the nucleus, and the probability density is not maximum near the nucleus but rather at a certain distance away from it.

• Option (c): This option is correct. The probability of finding the electron at a given distance is indeed equal in all directions for both $1s$ and $2s$ orbitals, as they are spherically symmetric. Therefore, there is no reason to consider it incorrect.

Answer

(d) Cathode rays consist of negatively charged material particles called electrons. It was discovered by William Crookes. The characteristics of cathode rays do not depend upon the material of electrodes and the nature of the gas present in the cathode ray tube.

• Option (a): This statement is correct. Cathode rays do indeed start from the cathode and move towards the anode in a cathode ray tube.

• Option (b): This statement is correct. Cathode rays travel in straight lines when there is no external electrical or magnetic field influencing their path.

• Option (c): This statement is correct. The characteristics of cathode rays are independent of the material of the electrodes in the cathode ray tube.

Answer

(b) The mass of electron is very small as compared to the mass of the neutron.

Mass of electron $=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$

Mass of neutron $=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$

• (a) It is a negatively charged particle: This statement is correct. Electrons are indeed negatively charged particles.

• (c) It is a basic constituent of all atoms: This statement is correct. Electrons are fundamental components of all atoms, orbiting the nucleus.

• (d) It is a constituent of cathode rays: This statement is correct. Cathode rays are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes.

Answer

(a) $\mathrm{J} J \mathrm{Thomson}$, in 1898, proposed plum pudding, (raisin pudding or watermelon) model of atom. An important feature of this model is that the mass of the atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the atom. This model was able to explain the overall neutrality of the atom.

• (b) Spectra of hydrogen atom: Thomson’s model could not explain the discrete spectral lines observed in the hydrogen atom. The model did not account for the quantized energy levels of electrons, which are necessary to explain the emission and absorption spectra.

• (c) Position of electrons, protons and neutrons in atom: Thomson’s model did not provide a clear picture of the positions of electrons, protons, and neutrons within the atom. It only suggested that electrons were embedded in a positively charged ‘pudding,’ without detailing the specific arrangement or positions of these subatomic particles.

• (d) Stability of atom: Thomson’s model could not explain the stability of the atom. It did not address why electrons, which are negatively charged, do not spiral into the positively charged ‘pudding’ due to electrostatic attraction, leading to the collapse of the atom.

Answer

(d) Isobars have the same mass number (i.e., sum of protons and neutrons) but different atomic number (i.e., number of protons). e.g., $_{18} Ar^{40} and _{19} K^{40}$ and are isobars.

• (a) they have same atomic number but different mass number: This describes isotopes, not isobars. Isotopes have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, leading to different mass numbers.

• (b) they have same number of electrons but different number of neutrons: This describes ions or neutral atoms of different elements, not isobars. The number of electrons can vary due to ionization, but this does not define isobars.

• (c) they have same number of neutrons but different number of electrons: This describes neither isobars nor any specific category of atoms. The number of neutrons being the same with different numbers of electrons does not fit the definition of isobars.

Answer

(d) For a hydrogen atom wave function, there are $n-l-1$ radial nodes and $(n-1)$ total nodes.

Number of radial nodes $3 p$ orbital $=n-l-1$

$$ =3-1-1=1 $$

• Option (a) is incorrect because the number of radial nodes for a $3p$ orbital is calculated as $n - l - 1$. For $n = 3$ and $l = 1$, the calculation is $3 - 1 - 1 = 1$, not 3.

• Option (b) is incorrect because the number of radial nodes for a $3p$ orbital is $n - l - 1$. For $n = 3$ and $l = 1$, the calculation is $3 - 1 - 1 = 1$, not 4.

• Option (c) is incorrect because the number of radial nodes for a $3p$ orbital is $n - l - 1$. For $n = 3$ and $l = 1$, the calculation is $3 - 1 - 1 = 1$, not 2.

Answer

(c) Number of angular nodes $=l$

For $4^{\text {th }}$ orbital $(n=4)$ and $l=2$ for $d$-orbital

$\therefore$ Number of angular nodes $=2$

• Option (a) is incorrect because the number of angular nodes is given by the azimuthal quantum number ( l ). For a ( d )-orbital, ( l = 2 ), not 4.
• Option (b) is incorrect because the number of angular nodes for a ( d )-orbital is determined by ( l ), which is 2, not 3.
• Option (d) is incorrect because the number of angular nodes for a ( d )-orbital is given by ( l = 2 ), not 1.

Answer

(b) Werner Heisenberg, a German physicist in 1927, stated uncertainty principle which states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously, the exact position and exact momentum of an electron.

Mathematically,

$$ \Delta x \times \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} $$

The important implications of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is that it rules out existence of definite paths or trajectories of electrons and other similar particles.

• Pauli’s exclusion principle: This principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. It is related to the arrangement of electrons in an atom and their unique quantum states, but it does not address the concept of definite paths or trajectories of electrons.

• Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity: This rule states that electrons will fill degenerate orbitals (orbitals with the same energy) singly as far as possible before pairing up. It is concerned with the distribution of electrons among orbitals to maximize total spin, but it does not address the existence of definite paths or trajectories of electrons.

• Aufbau principle: This principle states that electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. It is a guideline for the order in which electrons are added to orbitals, but it does not address the concept of definite paths or trajectories of electrons.

Answer

(c) Total number of orbitals associated with $n^{\text {th }}$ shell $=n^{2}$

$\therefore$ Total number of orbitals associated with third shell $=(3)^{2}=9$

• Option (a) is incorrect because the total number of orbitals associated with the third shell is not 2. The formula for the total number of orbitals in the $(n^{\text{th}})$ shell is $(n^2)$. For $(n = 3)$, the total number of orbitals is $(3^2 = 9)$, not 2.

• Option (b) is incorrect because the total number of orbitals associated with the third shell is not 4. Using the formula (n^2), for (n = 3), the total number of orbitals is $(3^2 = 9)$, not 4.

• Option (d) is incorrect because the total number of orbitals associated with the third shell is not 3. According to the formula (n^2), for (n = 3), the total number of orbitals is $(3^2 = 9)$, not 3.

Answer

(a) Orbital angular momentum $m v r=\frac{h}{2 \pi} \sqrt{l(l+1)}$. Hence, it depends only on ’ $l$ ‘. $l$ can have values ranging from 0 to $(n-1)$.

(a) When $l=0$, the subshell is $s$ and orbital is spherical in shape.

(b) When $l=1$, the subshell is $p$ and orbital is dumb-bell shaped.

(c) When $l=2$, the subshell is $d$ and orbital is double dumb-bell shaped.

(d) When $l=3$, the subshell is $f$ and orbital is complicated in shape.

• Option (b) is incorrect because the principal quantum number ( n ) does not directly affect the orbital angular momentum. Orbital angular momentum depends solely on the azimuthal quantum number ( l ).

• Option (c) is incorrect because the magnetic quantum number ( m ) does not affect the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum. It only determines the orientation of the orbital angular momentum in space.

• Option (d) is incorrect because the spin quantum number ( s ) and the magnetic quantum number ( m ) do not influence the orbital angular momentum. The spin quantum number ( s ) pertains to the intrinsic spin of the electron, not its orbital motion.

Answer

(c) The fractional atomic mass ( 35.5 ) of chlorine is due to the fact that in ordinary chlorine atom, $\mathrm{Cl}-37$ and $\mathrm{Cl}-35$ are present in the ratio of $1: 3$.

$\therefore$ Average atomic mass of $\mathrm{Cl}=\frac{3 \times 35+1 \times 37}{4}=35.5 \mathrm{amu}$

• Option (a) $1: 2$: If the ratio of $\mathrm{Cl}-37$ to $\mathrm{Cl}-35$ were $1: 2$, the average atomic mass would be calculated as follows:
  $\text{Average atomic mass of } \mathrm{Cl} = \frac{1 \times 37 + 2 \times 35}{3} = \frac{37 + 70}{3} = \frac{107}{3} \approx 35.67 , \text{amu}$
  This value is not equal to the given atomic mass of 35.5 amu.

• Option (b) $1: 1$: If the ratio of $\mathrm{Cl}-37$ to $\mathrm{Cl}-35$ were $1: 1$, the average atomic mass would be calculated as follows:
  $\text{Average atomic mass of } \mathrm{Cl} = \frac{1 \times 37 + 1 \times 35}{2} = \frac{37 + 35}{2} = \frac{72}{2} = 36 , \text{amu}$
  This value is not equal to the given atomic mass of 35.5 amu.

• Option (d) $3: 1$: If the ratio of $\mathrm{Cl}-37$ to $\mathrm{Cl}-35$ were $3: 1$, the average atomic mass would be calculated as follows:
  $\text{Average atomic mass of } \mathrm{Cl} = \frac{3 \times 37 + 1 \times 35}{4} = \frac{111 + 35}{4} = \frac{146}{4} = 36.5 , \text{amu}$
  This value is not equal to the given atomic mass of 35.5 amu.

Answer

(b) $ _{24} Cr=[Ar] 3 d^{5}, 4 s^{1}\quad \quad$ $ _{24} Cr^{3+} =[Ar] 3 d^{3} $

$ _{26} Fe^{3+} =[Ar] 3 d^{5} \quad \quad $ $ _{26} Fe =[Ar] 3 d^{6}, 4 s^{2} $

$ _{25} Mn^{2+} =[Ar] 3 d^{5} \quad \quad$ $ _{25} Mn =[Ar] 3 d^{5}, 4 s^{2} $

$ _{27} Co^{3+} =[Ar] 3 d^{6} \quad \quad$ $ _{27} Co =[Ar] 3 d^{7}, 4 s^{2} $

$ _{21} Sc^{3+} =[Ar] \quad \quad $ $ _{21} Sc =[Ar] 3 d^{1}, 4 s^{2}$

Thus, $ Fe^{3+}$ and $ Mn^{2+}$ have the same electronic configuration.

• (a) $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}, \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$: $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^3$, while $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^5$. These configurations are not the same.

• (c) $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}, \mathrm{Co}^{3+}$: $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^5$, while $\mathrm{Co}^{3+}$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^6$. These configurations are not the same.

• (d) $\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}, \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$: $\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar]$, while $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^3$. These configurations are not the same.

Answer

(d)

(a) Electrons in $2 s$ and $2 p$ orbitals have different screen effect. Hence, their $Z_{\text {eff }}$ is different. $Z_{\text {eff }}$ of $2 s$ orbital $>Z_{\text {eff }}$ of $2 p$ orbital Therefore, it is not correct.

(b) Energy of $2 s$ orbital $<$ energy of $2 p$ orbital. Hence, it is not correct.

(c) $Z_{\text {eff }}$ of 1 sorbital $\neq Z_{\text {eff }}$ of 2 s orbital Hence, it is incorrect.

(d) For the two electrons of $2 s$ orbital, the value of $m_{s}$ is $+\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{1}{2}$.

Hence, it is correct.

• (a) Electrons in $2s$ and $2p$ orbitals have different screening effects. Hence, their $Z_{\text{eff}}$ is different. $Z_{\text{eff}}$ of $2s$ orbital $>$ $Z_{\text{eff}}$ of $2p$ orbital. Therefore, it is not correct.

• (b) Energy of $2s$ orbital $<$ energy of $2p$ orbital. Hence, it is not correct.

• (c) $Z_{\text{eff}}$ of $1s$ orbital $\neq$ $Z_{\text{eff}}$ of $2s$ orbital. Hence, it is incorrect.

Answer

(b) From de-Broglie equation,

$$ \text { wavelength, } \lambda=\frac{h}{m v} $$

For same speed of different particles, i.e., electron, proton, neutron and $\alpha$-particle,

$$ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{m} $$

As $h$ is constant. Greater the mass of matter waves, lesser is wavelength and vice-versa. In these matter waves, alpha particle $\left(\mathrm{He}^{2+}\right)$ has higher mass, therefore, shortest wavelength.

• Electron: Electrons have a much smaller mass compared to alpha particles. According to the de-Broglie equation, a smaller mass results in a longer wavelength for the same speed.

• Neutron: Neutrons have a greater mass than electrons but still have a smaller mass compared to alpha particles. Therefore, their wavelength will be longer than that of alpha particles for the same speed.

• Proton: Protons have a mass that is greater than electrons but less than alpha particles. Consequently, their wavelength will be longer than that of alpha particles for the same speed.

Answer

$(a, d)$

Degenerate orbitals means the orbitals of the same subshell of the same main shell, i.e., their $n$ and $l$ value.

(a) (i) $3 d_{x y} \quad$ (ii) $3 d_{y z}$

(b) (i) $3 p_{x} \quad$ (ii) $3 d_{x y}$

(c) (i) $4 s \quad$ (ii) $3 d_{x y}$

(d) (i) $3 d_{x^{2}-y^{2}} \quad$ (ii) $3 d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$

Thus, $3 d_{x y}$ and $3 d_{y z} ; 3 d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ and $3 d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ represent pair of degenerate orbitals.

• (b): The electrons are in different subshells. One electron is in the 3p subshell ($l=1$) and the other is in the 3d subshell ($l=2$). Degenerate orbitals must be in the same subshell.

• (c): The electrons are in different principal quantum levels. One electron is in the 4s subshell ($n=4$) and the other is in the 3d subshell ($n=3$). Degenerate orbitals must be in the same principal quantum level.

Answer

( $b, c)$

• For option (a): If ( n = 1 ), ( l \neq 1 ) because ( l ) must be less than ( n ). Therefore, ( l ) can only be 0 when ( n = 1 ). Hence, (a) is incorrect.

• For option (d): If ( n = 3 ), ( l ) cannot be 4 because ( l ) must be less than ( n ). Therefore, ( l ) can only be 0, 1, or 2 when ( n = 3 ). Hence, (d) is incorrect.

To solve this problem, it should kept in mind that isoelectronic are those species which have same number of electrons.

Answer

$(a, c)$

For,

$$ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{Na}^{+} & =11-1=10 e^{-} \\ \mathrm{Mg}^{2+} & =12-2=10 e^{-} \end{aligned} $$

Thus, they have same number of electrons.

For,

$$ \mathrm{Al}^{3+}=13-3=10 e^{-}, \mathrm{O}^{-}=8+1=9 e^{-} . $$

They do not have same number of electrons.

For,

$$ \mathrm{Na}^{+}=10 e^{-}, \mathrm{O}^{2-}=8+2=10 e^{-} $$

They have same number of electrons.

$$ \text { For, } \quad \mathrm{N}^{3-}=7+3=10 e^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}=17+1=18 e^{-} . $$

They do not have same number of electrons.

Thus, $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$is isoelectronic with $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ and $\mathrm{O}^{2-}$.

• For option (b):

  • $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}$ has 10 electrons ($13 - 3 = 10$).
  • $\mathrm{O}^{-}$ has 9 electrons ($8 + 1 = 9$).
  • They do not have the same number of electrons.

• For option (d):

  • $\mathrm{N}^{3-}$ has 10 electrons ($7 + 3 = 10$).

(a) Azimuthal quantum number ’ $l$ ’ is also known as orbital angular momentum or subsidiary quantum number. It determines three dimensional shape of the orbital.

(b) The principal quantum number determines the size of the orbit.

(c) Magnetic quantum number determines the orientation of the electron cloud in a subshell.

(d) An electron spins around its own axis, much in a similar way as earth spins around its own axis while revolving around the sun. In other words, an electron has, besides charge and mass, intrinsic spin angular quantum number.

• (b) The principal quantum number determines the size of the orbit, not the orientation and energy of the orbital.
• (c) Magnetic quantum number determines the orientation of the electron cloud in a subshell, not the size of the orbital.

Answer

s-orbital is spherical in shape, it shields the electrons from the nucleus more effectively than $p$ - orbital which in turn shields more effectively than $d$-orbital.

Therefore, the effective nuclear charge $\left(Z_{\text {eff }}\right)$ experienced by electrons present in them is $d<p<s$.

Answer

From the orbital diagram, it is seen that there are two unpaired electrons.

Answer

${ }_{28} \mathrm{Ni}=1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}, 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2}, 3 p^{6}, 3 d^{8}, 4 s^{2}$; Nickel will lose 2 electrons from $4 s$ (outermost shell) to form $\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}$ ion. Hence,

$$ { }_{28} \mathrm{Ni}^{2+}=1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}, 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2}, 3 p^{6}, 3 d^{8}, 4 s^{0} . $$

Answer

The orbitals which belongs to same subshell and same shell are called degenerate orbitals. $\left(3 d_{x y}, 3 d_{z^{2}}, 3 d_{y z}\right)$ and $\left(4 d_{x y}, 4 d_{y z}, 4 d_{z^{2}}\right)$ are the two sets of degenerate orbitals.

To calculate the total number and radial nodes of principal quantum number $n$, the following formula is used

(i) Radial nodes (or spherical nodes) $=n-l-1$

(ii) Angular nodes (or non-spherical nodes) $=l$

(iii) Total nodes $=n-1$

Answer

For $3 p$-orbital, principal quantum number, $n=3$ and azimuthal quantum number $l=1$

Number of angular nodes $=l=1$

Number of radial nodes $=n-l-1=3-1-1=1$

Answer

I.(a) $(n+l)$ values of $1 s=1+0=1,2 s=2+0=2,3 s=3+0=3,2 p=2+1=3$

Hence, increasing order of their energy is

$$ 1 s<2 s<2 p<3 s $$

(b) $4 s=4+0=4,3 s=3+0=3,3 p=3+1=4,4 d=4+2=6$

Hence,

$$ 3 s<3 p<4 s<4 d $$

(c) $5 p=5+1=6,4 d=4+2=6,5 d=5+2=7,4 f=4+3=7,6 s=6+0=6$

Hence, $\quad 4 d<5 p<6 s<4 f<5 d$

(d) $5 f=5+3=8,6 d=6+2=8,7 s=7+0=7,7 p=7+1=8$.

Hence, $\quad 7 s<5 f<6 d<7 p$

II. (a) $(n+l)$ values of $4 d=4+2=6,4 f=4+3=7,5 s=5+0=5,7 p=7+1=8$

Hence, $5 s$ has the lowest energy.

(b) $5 p=5+1=6,5 d=5+2=7,5 f=5+3=8,6 s=6+0=6,6 p=6+1=7$

Hence, $5 f$ has highest energy.

$\lambda(\mathrm{D})=30 \mathrm{A}=30 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}=3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}$

$Energy, E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}$

$ Therefore,\quad E \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$

Increasing order of energy is $B<A<C=D$

Answer

Configurations either exactly half-filled or fully filled orbitals are more stable due to symmetrical distribution of electrons and maximum exchange energy. In $3 d^{10} 4 s^{1}, d$-orbitals are completely filled and s-orbital is half-filled. Hence, it is more stable configuration.

Answer

From Rydberg formula,

Wave number, $\quad \bar{v}=109677\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$

$$ \begin{aligned} Given, \quad n_{i} & =2 \text { and } n_{f}=4 \quad \text{(Transition in Balmer series)}\\ \bar{v} & =109677\left[\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$

$$ \begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & \bar{v}=109677\left[\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{16}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \\ \Rightarrow & \bar{v}=109677 \times\left[\frac{4-1}{16}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \\ \Rightarrow & \bar{v}=20564.44 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \end{array} $$

Answer

Given,

$$ \begin{aligned} & m=100 \mathrm{~g}=0.1 \mathrm{~kg} \\ & v=100 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}=\frac{100 \times 1000}{60 \times 60}=\frac{1000}{36} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$

From de-Broglie equation, wavelength, $\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}$

$$ \lambda=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}{0.1 \mathrm{~kg} \times \frac{1000}{36} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}=238.5 \times 10^{-36} \mathrm{~m} $$

As the wavelength is very small so wave nature cannot be detected.

Answer

The line spectrum of any element has lines corresponding to definite wavelengths. Lines are obtained as a result of electronic transitions between the energy levels. Hence, the electrons in these levels have fixed energy, i.e., quantized values.

Answer

From de-Broglie equation, wavelength, $\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}$

For same wavelength for two different particles, i.e., electron and proton, $m_{1} v_{1}=m_{2} v_{2}(h$ is constant). Lesser the mass of the particle, greater will be the velocity. Hence, electron will have higher velocity.

Answer

Wavelength is the distance between two successive peaks or two successive throughs of a wave.

Therefore,

$$ \begin{aligned} \lambda=4 \times 2.16 \mathrm{pm} & =8.64 \mathrm{pm} \\ & =8.64 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m} \quad\left[\because 1 \mathrm{pm}=10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}\right] \end{aligned} $$

Answer

$$ Wavelength, \quad\lambda=\frac{c}{v} $$

$$ \begin{aligned} Given, \quad \text { frequency } v & =4.620 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~Hz} \text { or } 4.620 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ \lambda & =\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{4.620 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}} \\ & =0.6494 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m} \\ & =649.4 \mathrm{~nm} \quad \quad\left[\because 1 \mathrm{~nm}=10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}\right] \end{aligned} $$

Thus, it belongs to visible region.

Given that, speed $=90 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

mass $=10 \mathrm{~g}=10 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}$

Uncertainty in speed $(\Delta v)=4 $% of $90 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}=\frac{4 \times 90}{100}=3.6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

From Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

$$ \begin{aligned} \Delta x \cdot \Delta v & =\frac{h}{4 \pi m} \\ or \quad \Delta x & =\frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta v} \end{aligned} $$

Uncertainty in position,

$$ \begin{aligned} \Delta x & =\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{kgm}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 10 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} \times 3.6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}} \\ & =1.46 \times 10^{-33} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} $$

Answer

If uncertainty principle is applied to an object of mass, say about a milligram $\left(10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}\right)$, then

$$ \begin{aligned} \Delta \cdot \Delta x & =\frac{h}{mv} \\ \Delta \cdot \Delta x & =\frac{h}{4 \pi m} \\ \Delta v \cdot \Delta x & =\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{kgm}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}} \\ & =0.52 \times 10^{-28} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$

The value of $\Delta v \cdot \Delta x$ obtained is extremely small and is insignificant. Therefore, for milligram-sized or heavier objects, the associated uncertainties are hardly of any real consequence.

Answer

In hydrogen atom, the energy of an electron is determined by the value of $n$ and in multielectron atom, it is determined by $n+l$. Hence, for a given principal quantum, number electrons of $s, p, d$ and $f$-orbitals have different energy (for $s, p, d$ and $f, l=0,1,2$ and 3 respectively).

Answer

(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Isotopes have the same atomic number i.e., same number of electrons which are responsible for their chemical behaviour. Hence, these exhibit similar chemical properties.

Answer

(c) Assertion is true and reason is false.

A body which absorbs and emits all radiations falling on it is called perfect black body. With rise in temperature, frequency increases.

Answer

(c) Assertion is true and reason is false.

According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, the exact position and exact momentum of an electron cannot be determined simultaneously. Thus, the path of electron in an atom is not clearly defined.

Answer

Photoelectric effect When radiation with certain minimum frequency $\left(v_{0}\right)$ strike the surface of a metal, the electrons are ejected from the surface of the metal. This phenomenon is called photoelectric effect. The electrons emitted are called photoelectrons.

Equipment for studying the photoelectric effect. Light of a particular frequency strikes a clean metal surface inside a vacuum chamber.

Electrons are ejected from the metal and are counted by a detector that measures their kinetic energy.

The result observed in this experiment were

(i) The electrons are ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of light strikes the surface, i.e., there is no time lag between the striking of light beam and the ejection of electrons from the metal surface.

(ii) The number of electrons ejected is proportional to the intensity or brightness of light.

(iii) For each metal, there is a characteristic minimum frequency, $v_{0}$ (also known as threshold frequency) below which photoelectric effect is not observed. At a frequency $v>v_{0}$, the ejected electrons come out with certain kinetic energy. The kinetic energies of these electrons increases with the increase of frequency of the light used.

The above observation cannot be explained by the electromagnetic wave theory. According to this theory, since radiations were continuous, therefore, it should be possible to accumulate energy on the surface of the metal, irrespective of its frequency and thus, radiations of all frequencies should be able to eject electrons.

Similarly, according to this theory, the energy of the electrons ejected should depend upon the intensity of the incident radiation.

Particle Nature of Electromagnetic Radiation

To explain the phenomena of ‘black body radiation’ and ‘photoelectric effect’, Max Planck in 1900 , put forward a theory known after his name as Planck’s quantum theory. This theory was further extended by Einstein in 1905.

The important points of this theory are as follows

(i) The radiant energy is emitted or absorbed not continuously but discontinuously in the form of small discrete packets of energy. Each such packet of energy is called a ‘quantum’. In case of light, the quantum of energy is called a ‘photon’.

(ii) The energy of each quantum is directly proportional to the frequency of the radiation, i.e., $E \propto v$ or $E=h v$

where, $h$ is a proportionality constant, called Planck’s constant. Its value is approximately equal to $6.626 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{erg} \mathrm{s}$ or $6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}$.

(iii) The total amount of energy emitted or absorbed by a body will be some whole number quanta.

Hence, $E=n h v$ (where, $n$ is any integer).

Note The energy possessed by one mole of quanta (or photons), i.e., Avogadro’s number $\left(N_{0}\right)$ of quanta is called one Einstein of energy, i.e.,

1 Einstein of energy $(E)=N_{0} h v=N_{0} h \frac{c}{\lambda}$

Answer

We know that,

$$ \begin{aligned} h v & =h v_{0}+\mathrm{KE} \\ or \quad h v-\mathrm{KE} & =h v_{0}=\left(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} \times 1 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\right)-1.988 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\ h v_{0} & =6.626 \times 10^{-19}-1.988 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\ h v_{0} & =4.638 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\ v_{0} & =\frac{4.638 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}}=0.699 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ When, \quad \lambda & =600 \mathrm{~nm}=600 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~m} \\ v & =\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{6.0 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}}=0.5 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$

Thus, $v<v_{0}$. hence, no electron will be emitted.

Answer

The two important points of Bohr’s model that can be used to derive the given formula are as follows

(i) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path of fixed radius and energy. These paths are called orbits. stationarv states or allowed enerav states

(ii) Energy is emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from higher stationary state to lower stationary state or from lower stationary state to higher stationary state respectively.

Derivation The energy of the electron in the $n^{\text {th }}$ stationary state is given by the expression,

$$ E_{n}=-R_{H}\left(\frac{1}{n^{2}}\right) \quad n=1,2,3 \quad …(i) $$

where, $R_{\mathrm{H}}$ is called Rydberg constant and its value is $2.18 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J}$. The energy of the lowest state, also called the ground state, is

$$ E_{n}=-2.18 \times 10^{-18}\left(\frac{1}{1^{2}}\right)=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J} \quad …(ii) $$

The energy gap between the two orbits is given by the equation,

$$ \Delta E=E_{f}-E_{i} \quad …(iii) $$

On combining Eqs. (i) and (iii)

$$ \Delta E=\left(-\frac{R_{H}}{n_{f}^{2}}\right)-\left(-\frac{R_{H}}{n_{i}^{2}}\right) $$

Where, $n_{i}$ and $n_{f}$ stand for initial orbit and final orbit.

$$ \Delta E=R_{\mathrm{H}}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right]=2.18 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] $$

Frequency, $v$ associated with the absorption and emission of the photon can be calculated as follows

$$ \begin{aligned} \quad v & =\frac{\Delta E}{h}=\frac{R_{H}}{h}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \\ \Rightarrow \quad v & =\frac{2.18 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \\ v & =3.29 \times 10^{15}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \mathrm{Hz} \\ \Rightarrow \bar{v} & =\frac{v}{c}=\frac{3.29 \times 10^{15}}{3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \\ \bar{v} & =1.09677 \times 10^{7}\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \mathrm{m}^{-1} \\ & \bar{v}=109677\left[\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$

Answer

In hydrogen spectrum, the spectral lines are expressed in term of wave number $\bar{v}$ obey the following formula

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text{Wave number}, \bar{v}=R_{H}\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right) \quad\left(\text { where, } R_{H}=\text { Rydberg constant } 109677 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\right) \\ & \bar{v}=109677 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}}\right) \\ & \bar{v}=109677 \times \frac{5}{36}=15232.9 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \\ & \bar{v}=\frac{1}{\lambda} \end{aligned} $$

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { or, } \quad \lambda=\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15232.9}=6.564 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \text { Wavelength, } \quad \lambda=6.564 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \\ & \text { Energy, } \quad E=\frac{h c}{\lambda} \\ & =\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} \times 3.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{6.564 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}} \\ & =3.028 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\ & \text { Frequency, } \quad v=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{6.564 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}} \\ & =0.457 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}=4.57 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$

Note When an electron returns from $n_{2}$ to $n_{1}$ state, the number of lines in the spectrum will be equal to $\frac{\left(n_{2}-n_{1}\right)\left(n_{2}-n_{1}+1\right)}{2}$.

Answer

In Bohr model, an electron is regarded as a charged particle moving in well defined circular orbits about the nucleus. An orbit can completely be defined only if both the position and the velocity of the electron are known exactly at the same time.

This is not possible according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Further more, the wave character of the electron is not considered in Bohr model.

Therefore, concept of movement of an electron in an orbit was replaced by the concept of probabitlity of finding electron in an orbital due to de-Broglie concept of dual nature of electron and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. The changed model is called quantum mechanical model of the atom.
