  1. $\text{n}=4,\text{l}=2,\text{m}_\text{l}=-2,\text{m}_{\text{s}}=-\frac{1}{2}$
  2. $\text{n}=3,\text{l}=2,\text{m}_\text{l}=1,\text{m}_{\text{s}}=+\frac{1}{2}$
  3. $\text{n}=4,\text{l}=1,\text{m}_\text{l}=0,\text{m}_{\text{s}}=+\frac{1}{2}$
  4. $\text{n}=3,\text{l}=2,\text{m}_\text{l}=-2,\text{m}_{\text{s}}=-\frac{1}{2}$
  5. $\text{n}=3,\text{l}=1,\text{m}_\text{l}=-1,\text{m}_{\text{s}}=+\frac{1}{2}$
  6. $\text{n}=4,\text{l}=1,\text{m}_\text{l}=0,\text{m}_{\text{s}}=+\frac{1}{2}$
Answer
For n = 4 and l = 2, the orbital occupied is 4d.
For n = 3 and l = 2, the orbital occupied is 3d.
For n = 4 and l = 1, the orbital occupied is 4p.
Hence, the six electrons i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are present in the 4d, 3d, 4p, 3d, 3p, and 4p orbitals respectively.
Therefore, the increasing order of energies is 5(3p) < 2(3d) = 4(3d) < 3(4p) = 6(4p) < 1(4d).

Question 33 Marks
An ion with mass number 56 contains 3 units of positive charge and 30.4% more neutrons than electrons. Assign the symbol to this ion.
Answer
Let the number of electrons in the ion = x
Then, number of neutrons $=\text{x}+\Big(\frac{30.4\text{x}}{100}\Big)=1.304\text{x}$
Number of electrons in the neutral atom = x + 3 (ion possesses 3 units of positive charge)
$\therefore$ Number of protons = x + 3
Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons
$\therefore$ 1.304 x + x + 3 = 56
⇒ 2.304 x = 53
⇒ x = 23
$\therefore$ No. of protons = Atomic no. = x + 3 = 23 + 3 = 26
The symbol of the ion is $\text{ }^{56}_{29}\text{Fe}^{+3}$

Question 43 Marks
The unpaired electrons in Al and Si are present in 3p orbital. Which electrons will experience more effective nuclear charge from the nucleus?
Answer
Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.
The higher the atomic number, the higher is the nuclear charge. Silicon has 14 protons while aluminium has 13 protons. Hence, silicon has a larger nuclear charge of (+14) than aluminium, which has a nuclear charge of (+13). Thus, the electrons in the 3p orbital of silicon will experience a more effective nuclear charge than aluminium.

Question 123 Marks
An ion with mass number 37 possesses one unit of negative charge. If the ion conatins 11.1% more neutrons than the electrons, find the symbol of the ion.
Answer
Let the number of electrons in the ion carrying a negative charge be x.
Then,
Number of neutrons present
= x + 11.1% of x
= x + 0.111 x
= 1.111 x
Number of electrons in the neutral atom = (x – 1)
(When an ion carries a negative charge, it carries an extra electron)
$\therefore$ Number of protons in the neutral atom = x – 1
Given,
Mass number of the ion = 37
$\therefore$ (x – 1) + 1.111 x = 37
2.111 x = 38
x = 18
$\therefore$ The symbol of the ion is $\text{ }^{37}_{17}\text{Cl}^-.$

Question 183 Marks
The bromine atom possesses 35 electrons. It contains 6 electrons in 2p orbital, 6 electrons in 3p orbital and 5 electron in 4p orbital. Which of these electron experiences the lowest effective nuclear charge?
Answer
Nuclear charge experienced by an electron (present in a multi-electron atom) is dependant upon the distance between the nucleus and the orbital, in which the electron is present. As the distance increases, the effective nuclear charge also decreases.
Among p-orbitals, 4p orbitals are farthest from the nucleus of bromine atom with (+35) charge. Hence, the electrons in the 4p orbital will experience the lowest effective nuclear charge. These electrons are shielded by electrons present in the 2p and 3p orbitals along with the s-orbitals. Therefore, they will experience the lowest nuclear charge.

Question 193 Marks
Symbols $\text{ }^{79}_{35}\text{Br}$ and $\text{ }^{79}\text{Br}$ can be written, whereas symbols $\text{ }^{35}_{79}\text{Br}$ and $\text{ }^{35}\text{Br}$ are not acceptable. Answer briefly.
Answer
The general convention of representing an element along with its atomic mass (A) and atomic number (Z) is $\text{ }^{\text{A}}_{\text{Z}}\text{X}.$
Hence, $\text{ }^{79}_{35}\text{Br}$ is acceptable but $\text{ }^{35}_{79}\text{Br}$ is not acceptable.
$\text{ }^{79}\text{Br}$ can be written but $\text{ }^{35}\text{Br}$ cannot be written because the atomic number of an element is constant, but the atomic mass of an element depends upon the relative abundance of its isotopes. Hence, it is necessary to mention the atomic mass of an element.

For n = 4 and l = 2, the orbital occupied is 4d.
For n = 3 and l = 2, the orbital occupied is 3d.
For n = 4 and l = 1, the orbital occupied is 4p.
Hence, the six electrons i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are present in the 4d, 3d, 4p, 3d, 3p, and 4p orbitals respectively.
Therefore, the increasing order of energies is 5(3p) < 2(3d) = 4(3d) < 3(4p) = 6(4p) < 1(4d).

  1. Which orbital is non-directional?
  2. What are the frequency and wavelength of a photon emitted during a transition from n = 5 state to n = 2 state in the hydrogen atom?
($h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34}Js$)
Answer
 
  1. s-Orbital is spherically symmetrical, i.e. it is non directional.
  2. Transition is from $n_1 = 5$ to $n_2 = 2$ state,
$\Delta\text{E}=2.18\times10^{-18}\text{J}\bigg(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\bigg)$
$=2.18\times10^{-18}\text{J}\Big(\frac{1}{5 ^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\Big)$
$=-4.58\times10^{-19}\text{J}$
The negative sign of energy means it is an emission energy.
Frequency $=\frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Plant's constant}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{\Delta\text{E}}{\text{h}}=\frac{4.58\times10^{19}\text{J}}{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}$
$=6.91\times10^{14}\text{Hz}$
Wavelength $=\frac{\text{Velocity}}{\text{Frequency}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{v}}=\frac{3\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{6.91\times10^{14}\text{Hz}}$
$\lambda=0.434\times10^{-6}\text{m}$

  1. The mass of an electron is $9.1 \times 10^{-28}g$. If its K.E. is $3.0 \times 10^{-25}J$, calculate its wave-length in Angstrom. $[h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}Js]$
  2. What is photoelectric effect?
Answer
  1. $\text{m}=9.1\times10^{-28}\text{g}=9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg}$
$\text{K.E}=3.0\times10^{-25}\text{J}$
$\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2=3.0\times10^{-25}\text{J}$
$\text{K.E}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{V}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{KE}}{\text{m}}}$
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mV}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{m}\times\sqrt{\frac{2\text{K.E}}{\text{m}}}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\times\text{K.E}\times\text{m}}}$
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{m}\times\text{K.E}}}=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times3\times10^{-25}}}$
$\lambda=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{54.6\times10^{-56}}}=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{7.39\times10^{-28}}$

Question 333 Marks
According to de Broglie, matter should exhibit dual behaviour, that is both particle and wave like properties. However, a cricket ball of mass 100g does not move like a wave when it is thrown by a bowler at a speed of 100km/ h. Calculate the wavelength of the ball and explain why it does not show wave nature.
Answer
de Broglie equation,
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mc}},\text{m}=100\text{g}=\frac{100}{1000}=0.1\text{kg},$
Velocity of cricket ball c,
$=100\text{km/ h}$
$=\frac{100\times1000\text{m}}{60\times60\text{s}}=-\frac{1000}{36}\text{ms}^{-1},$
Planck's constant, $\text{h}=6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}$
Wavelength,
$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{0.1\text{kg}\times\frac{1000}{36}\text{ms}^{-1}}=6.626\times10^{-36}\times36\text{m}$
$\lambda=2.385\times10^{-34}\text{m}$
Since mass of the ball is large, therefore, $'\lambda'$ is very small, the wave nature cannot be observed.

Question 353 Marks
The arrangement of orbitals on the basis of energy is based upon their (n + l) value. Lower the value of (n + l), lower is the energy. For orbitals having same values of (n + l), the orbital with lower value of n will have lower energy.
  1. Based upon the above information, arrange the following orbitals in the increasing order of energy.
  1. 1s, 2s, 3s, 2p
  2. 4s, 3s, 3p, 4d
  3. 5p, 4d, 5d, 4f, 6s
  4. 5f, 6d, 7s, 7p
  1. Based upon the above information, solve the questions given below:
  1. Which of the following orbitals has the lowest energy?
4d, 4f, 5s, 5p
  1. Which of the following orbitals has the highest energy?
5p, 5d, 5f, 6s, 6p
Answer
  1.  
  1. (n + l) values are 1s = 1 + 0 = 1, 2s = 2 + 0 = 2, 3s = 3 + 0 = 3, 2p = 2 + 1 = 3
Hence, increasing order of their energy is 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s.
  1. 4s = 4 + 0 = 4, 3s = 3 + 0 = 3, 3p = 3 + 1 = 4, 4d = 4 + 2 = 6.
Hence, 3s < 3p < 4s < 4d.
  1. 5p = 5 + 1 = 6, 4d = 4 + 2 = 6, 5d = 5 + 2 = 7, 4f = 4 + 3 = 7, 6s = 6 + 0 = 6.
Hence, 4d < 5p < 6s < 4f < 5d.
  1. 5f = 5 + 3 = 8, 6d = 6 + 2 = 8, 7s = 7 + 0 = 7, 7p = 7 + 1 = 8.
Hence, 7s < 5f < 6d < 7p.
  1.  
  1. 4d = 4 + 2 = 6, 4f = 4 + 3 = 7, 5s = 5 + 0 = 5, 7p = 7 + 1 = 8.
Hence, 5s has the lowest energy.
  1. 5p = 5 + 1 = 6, 5d = 5 + 2 = 7, 5f = 5 + 3 = 8, 6s = 6 + 0 = 6, 6p = 6 + 1 = 7.
Hence, 5f has the highest energy.

Question 373 Marks
Hydrogen atom has only one electron, so mutual repulsion between electrons is absent. However, in multielectron atoms mutual repulsion between the electrons is significant. How does this affect the energy of an electron in the orbitals of the same principal quantum number in multielectron atoms?
Answer
The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is determined solely by the principal quantum number. Thus, the energy of the orbitals increases as follows:
1s < 2s = 2p < 3s = 3p = 3d < 4s = 4p = 4d = 4f < (2.23),
The energy of an electron in a multielectron atom, that of the hydrogen atom, depends not only on its principal quantum number (shell), but also on its azimuthal quantum number (subshell). That is, for a given principal quantum number, s, p, d, f .... all have different energies.

Question 393 Marks
A bulb emits light of wavelength $4500\mathring{\text{A}}.$ The bulb is rated as 150 watt and 8% energy is emitted as light. How many photons are emitted by the bulb per second?
$\left[\mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{J} \mathrm{s}\right]$
Answer
Energy of 1 photon $=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}$
$=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}\times3\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{4500\times10^{-10}\text{m}}$
$=\frac{19.878}{45\times100}\times10^{-34+8+10}\text{J}$
$=\frac{19.878}{45}\times10^{-16-2}\text{J}=\frac{19.878}{45}\times10^{-18}\text{J}$
$=\frac{198.78}{45}\times10^{-19}\text{J}=4.417\times10^{-19}\text{J}$
Power of bulb $=150 \mathrm{watt} =150 \mathrm{Js}^{-1}$
Energy radiated as light per second,
$=150\text{Js}^{-1}\times\frac{8}{100}=12\text{Js}^{-1}$
Number of photons emitted by bulb per second,
$=\frac{\text{Total energy radiate per second}}{\text{Energy of 1 photon}}$
$=\frac{12\text{Js}^{-1}}{4.417\times10^{-19}\text{J}}=2.716\times10^{19}$ photons per second

ii. What is angular momentum of electron in the $5^{\text {th }}$ shell?
Answer
  1. $\text{m}=9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg},$
$\text{c} =3.0\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}$

$\lambda=\ ?,\text{h}=6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}$ or $\text{Kg}/\ \text{m}^2\text{s}^{-1}$

Applying de Broglie equation:

$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mc}}=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{kg/ m}^2\text{s}^{-1}}{9.1\times10^{-31}\text{kg}\times3.0\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.626}{27.3}\times10^{-34+31-8}\text{m}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.626}{27.3}\times10^{-11}=\frac{66.26}{27.3}\times10^{-12}\text{m}$

However, a cricket ball of mass 100g does not move like a wave when it is thrown by a bowler at a speed of 100km/h. Calculate the wavelength of the ball and explain why it does not show wave nature.
Answer
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
$\text{m}=100\text{g}=0.1\text{kg.}$
$\text{v}=100\text{km/hr}=\frac{100\times1000\text{m}}{60\times60\text{s}}=\frac{1000}{36}\text{ms}^{-1}$
$\text{h}=6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}$
$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{0.1\text{kg}\times\frac{1000}{36}\text{ms}^{-1}}=6.626\times10^{-36}\times36\text{m}^{-1}$

Calculate the wavelength of the spectral line obtained in the spectrum of $Li^{2+}$ ion when the transition takes place between two levels whose sum is 4 and the difference is 2.
Answer
Suppose the transition takes place between levels $n_1$ and $n_2$
Then, $n + n_2 = 4$ and $n_2 – n_1 = 2$
By solving these equations, we get $n_1 = 1, n_2 = 3$,
$\therefore\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Big)\text{Z}^2$
For $Li^{2+}$, Z = 3
$\therefore\frac{1}{\lambda}=109677\text{cm}^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\Big)\times3^2$
$=109677\times\Big(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{9}\Big)\times9\text{cm}^{-1}$
$=109677\times8\text{cm}^{-1}$
or $\lambda=\frac{1}{109677\times8\text{cm}^{-1}}$
$=1.14\times10^{-6}\text{cm}$

Question 433 Marks
When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 300 nm falls on the surface of sodium, electrons are emitted with a kinetic energy of $1.68 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$. What is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from sodium? What is the maximum wavelength that will cause a photo-electron to be emitted?
$\left(\mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}\right)$
Answer
The energy (E) of a 300nm photon is given by Planck's quantum theory.
$\text{E}=\text{hv}=\frac{6.626\times10^{34}\text{Js}\times3.010^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{300\times10^{-9}\text{m}}$
$\text{E}=6.626\times10^{-19}\text{J}$
The energy of 1 mole of photons,
$=6.626\times10^{-19}\text{J}\times6.022\times10^{23}\text{mol}^{-1}$
$=3.99\times10^5\text{J/ mol}^{-1}$
Energy of incident light = Threshold energy + kinetic energy,
$\therefore$ Threshold energy = Energy of incident light - kinetic energy,
$=(3.99\times10^5-1.68\times10^5)\text{J/ mol}^{-1}$
$=2.31\times10^5\text{J/ mol}^{-1}$
Threshold energy is the minimum energy needed to remove a mole of electrons from sodium,
$=(3.99-168)10^5\text{J/ mol}^{-1}$
$=2.31\times10^5\text{J/ mol}^{-1}$
The minimum energy for one electron,
$=\frac{2.31\times10^5\text{J/ mol}^{-1}}{6.022\times10^{23}\text{electrons mol}^{-1}}$
$=\frac{\text{Energy per mol}^{-1}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}$
$=3.84\times10^{-19}\text{J/ electron}$
This corresponds to the wavelength calculated as follows:
$\lambda=\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{E}}=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}\times3.0\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{3.84\times10^{-19}\text{J}}$
$=5.17\times10^{-7}\text{m}$
$\lambda=5.17\times10^{-7}\times10^9\text{nm}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=517\text{nm}$
(This corresponds to green light).

For the fust shell $\text{n}=1,\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{1}{2}.$ It can have 2 electrons both with opposite spins.
  1. For $\text{n}=2,$
$\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2},$

$\text{l}=1,\text{m}_\text{l}=1,0+1,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}.$

$\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{l}=1,\text{m}_\text{l}=-1,0+1,\text{m}_\text{s}=\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{l}=2,\text{m}_\text{l}=-2,-1,0,+1,+2,,\text{m}_\text{s}$

$=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, a total of 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electlons aie present.
  1. For $\text{n}=4,$ when
$\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{l}=0,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{l}=1,\text{m}_\text{l}=-1,0+1,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{l}=3,\text{m}_\text{l}=-2,-1,0+1,+2,\text{m}_\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{l}=3,\text{m}_\text{l}=-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3,\text{m}_\text{s}$

$=+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}$

Answer
$\Delta\text{E}=\text{E}_5-\text{E}_1$
