Question 162 Marks
In Rutherford’s experiment, generally the thin foil of heavy atoms, like gold, platinum etc. have been used to be bombarded by the $\alpha$-particles. If the thin foil of light atoms like aluminium etc. is used, what difference would be observed from the above results?
Answer
Heavy atoms have nucleus carrying large amount of positive charge. Therefore, some $\alpha$-particles will easily deflected back. Also a number of α-particles are deflected through small angles because of large positive charge.
If light atoms are used, their nuclei will have small positive charge, hence the number of $\alpha$-particles getting deflected even through small angles will be negligible.

Question 312 Marks
A gas absorbs a photon of 355nm and emits at two wavelengths. If one of the emissions is at 680nm, at what place the other emission occur?
Answer
The wavelength of absorbed radiation is related to those of emitted radiation as,
$\frac{1}{\lambda_{\text{absorbad}}}=\frac{1}{\lambda_1}+\frac{1}{\lambda_2}$
Therefore, $\frac{1}{355}=\frac{1}{680}+\frac{1}{\lambda_2}$
$\frac{1}{355}-\frac{1}{680}=\frac{1}{\lambda_2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{325}{241400}=\frac{1}{\lambda_2}$
$\lambda_2=\frac{241400}{325}=742.78\text{nm}\simeq743\text{cm}$

Question 342 Marks
Arrange s, p and d sub-shells of a shell in the increasing order of effective nuclear charge ($Z_{\text {eff }}$) experienced by the electron present in them.
Answer
The net positive charge experienced by the outer electrons is known as effective nuclear charge ( $\left.Z_{\text {eff}} \mathrm{e}\right)$. The $Z_{\text {eff }}$ experienced by the electron decreases with increase of azimuthal quantum number (I), that is, the s orbital electron will be more tightly bound to the nucleus than p orbital electron which in turn will be better tightly bound than the $d$ orbital electron.
Hence the arrangement of sub-shells in the increasing order of effective nuclear charge is:

Question 372 Marks
Prove that if the uncertainty in position of a moving electron is equal to its de-Broglie wavelength then its velocity is completely uncertain.
Answer
Let the uncertainty in position be $\Delta\text{x}.$
$\therefore\Delta\text{x}=\lambda$ (de-Broglie wavelength)
Using dc-Broglic relationship, $\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}.$
Putting, $\lambda=\Delta\text{x},$ we get
$\Delta\text{x}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{P}}$
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,
$\Delta\text{x}.\Delta\text{P}=\frac{\text{h}}{4\pi}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{h}}{\text{P}}\times\Delta\text{P}\approx\frac{\text{h}}{4\pi}$ or $\frac{\Delta\text{P}}{\text{P}}\approx\frac{1}{4\pi}$ $\Big[\because\Delta\text{x}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{P}}\Big]$
Now, $\text{P}=\text{m}\times\text{v}\ ...(\text{i})$
and $\Delta\text{P} =\text{m}\times\Delta\text{v},\ \text{so}\ ...(\text{ii})$
By dividing equation (ii) by equation (i) we get,
$\frac{\Delta\text{v}}{\text{v}}\approx\frac{1}{4\pi}\Rightarrow\Delta\text{v}=\frac{\text{v}}{4\pi}$
Thus, uncertainty in velocity is so large that its velocity is uncertain.

What kind of information about an electron in an atom is obtained from its wave function?
Answer
The square of the amplitude of the electron wave, i.e. $|\psi|^2$ at any point gives probability of finding an electron at that point. Since, the region around the nucleus which represents the electron density at different points is called an orbital, hence the wave function for an electron in an atom is called orbital wave function.

The mass of an electron is $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$. If its kinetic energy is $3.0 \times 10^{-25} \mathrm{~J}$, calculate its wave length.
[Given: $\mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg}$ ]
Answer
Given $\text{m}=9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg}$
and $\text{K.E}=3.0\times10^{-25}\text{J}.$
$\text{K.E}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mc}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{c}^2=\frac{2\text{K.E}}{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{c}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{K.E}}{\text{m}}}$
Also, de Broglie $\text{Eq}^\text{n}\lambda=\frac{\text{}\text{h}}{\text{mc}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{m}\times\sqrt{\frac{2\text{K.E}}{\text{m}}}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\times\text{K>E}\times\text{m}}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times3\times10^{-25}\times9.1\times10^{-31}}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{66.26\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{54.6\times10^{-56}}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{66.26\times10^{-35}}{7.39\times10^{-28}}=8.97\times10^{-7}\text{m}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=8.97\times10^{-7}\text{m}\times10^{9}=897\text{nm}.$

Calculate the uncertainty in position of an electron if uncertainty in its velocity is $0.001 \%$. Mass of electron $=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$, velocity of electron $=300 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.
$\left(\mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\right)$
Answer
$\Delta\text{x}\times\Delta\text{p}=\frac{\text{h}}{4\pi}$
$\Delta\text{x}=\frac{\text{h}}{4\pi\text{m}\Delta\text{V}}$
Where $\Delta\text{r}$ is uncertainty in position,
$'\Delta\text{p}'$ is uncertainty in momentum,
$'\text{p}'=\text{m}\Delta\text{v}$
$\Delta\text{v}$ is uncertainty in velocity.
Given: Velociry of electon $=300 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$: Uncertainty in velocity = 0.001%
Mass of electron $=9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg};\text{h}=6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}$
$\Delta\text{x}=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{4\times3.14\times9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg}\times\big(\frac{0.001}{100}\times300\big)\text{ms}^{-1}}$

Question 582 Marks
In each of the following pairs of salts, which so one is more stable?
  1. Ferrous and ferric salts.
  2. Cuprous and cupric salts.
Answer
$i.$ Ferrous and ferric salts In ferrous salts $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$, the configuration is $1 s^2 2 s^2, 2 p^6, 3 s^2, 3 p^6, 3 d^6$. In ferric salts $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$, the configuration is, $1 s^2 2 s^2, 2 p^6, 3 s^2, 3 p^6, 3 d^5$,
As half$-$filled $3d$ configuration is more stable therefore ferric salts are more stable than ferrous salts.
$ii.$ Cuprous and cupric salts In cuprous salts, the configuration of Cut is $1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 d^{10}$ In cupric salts, the configuration of. $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ is $1 s^2 2 s^2, 2 p^6, 3 s^2, 3 p^6, 3 d^9$. Although $\mathrm{Cu}^{+}$has completely filled $d-$orbital, yet cuprous salts are less stable.
This is because the nuclear charge is not sufficient enough to hold $18$ electrons of $\mathrm{Cu}^{+}$ion present in the outermost shell.

Answer
Nickel's atomic no. is 28 i.e $1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 4 s^2 3 d^8$
It will lose 2 electrons from $4 s^2$ (became $4 s^9$ ) because s-orbital has highest energy level of $n=4$ in this case. So sorbital will lose first before, $d$-orbital and so $\mathrm{Ni}^{+2}$ can be written as $[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 \mathrm{~s}^0 3 \mathrm{~d}^8$.

$\Delta\text{x},\Delta\text{v}=\frac{\text{h}}{4\text{m}\pi}$ [Heisenberg's uncertainty principle]
Uncertainty in velocity,
$\Delta\text{v}=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{4\times9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg}\times3.142\times10^{-15}\text{m}}$
$=5.7\times10^{10}\text{ms}^{-1}$
Since this value is more than the velocity of light which is impossible, therefore, electron cannot exist within the nucleus.

Question 802 Marks
Calculate the mass of a photon with wavelength $3.6\mathring{\text{A}}.$
Answer
$\lambda=3.6\mathring{\text{A}}=3.6\times10^{-10}\text{m}$
Velocity of Photon = Velocity of light de Broglie equation,
$\text{m}=\frac{\text{h}}{\lambda\text{c}}=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{\big(3.6\times10^{10}\text{m}\big)\big(3.0\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}\big)}$
$=6.135\times10^{-33}\text{kg}$

Question 812 Marks
When would the wavelength associated with an electron be equal to the wavelength associated with a proton? Mass of electron $=9.1095 \times 10^{-28} \mathrm{~g} ;$ Mass of proton $=1.6725 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~g} \cdot \mathrm{OR}$
Calculate the velocity condition for the wavelength associated with a moving electron to be equal to the wavelength associated with a moving proton.
(Mass of electron $=9.11 \times 10^{-48} \mathrm{~g} ;$ Mass of proton $=1.67 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~g} ; \mathrm{h}=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} ; \mathrm{J}=\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$. 
Answer
$\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}}$
$\lambda_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{p}}}$
$\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{e}}=\lambda_{\mathrm{p}}$
$\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}=\text { wavelengh of electron }$
$\lambda_{\mathrm{p}}=\text { wavelength of proton }$
$\text { Where, } \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}=\text { mass of electron }$
$\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}=\text { mass of proton }$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}=\text { velocity of electron }$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{p}}=\text { velocity ofproton, }$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{p}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{e}}}=\frac{1.6725 \times 10^{-24}}{9.1095 \times 10^{-28}}=1836$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}=1836 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{p}}$
