Question 13 Marks
Calculate the wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of 2.05 × 107ms–1.
Answer
According to de Broglie’s equation,
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
Where,
$\lambda$ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of particle
v = velocity of particle
h = Planck’s constant
Substituting the values in the expression of $\lambda:$
$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{(9.10939\times10^{-31}\text{kg})(2.05\times10^7\text{ms}^{-1})}$
$\lambda=3.548\times10^{-11}\text{m}$
Hence, the wavelength of the electron moving with a velocity of 2.05 × 107ms–1 is 3.548 × 10–11m.

  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 53 Marks
The mass of an electron is 9.1 × 10–31kg. If its K.E. is 3.0 × 10–25J, calculate its wavelength.
Answer
From de Broglie’s equation,
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
Given,
Kinetic energy (K.E) of the electron = 3.0 × 10–25J
Since $\text{K.E}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$
$\therefore\text{Velocity (v)}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{K.E}}{\text{m}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.0\times10^{-25}\text{J})}{9.10939\times10^{-31}\text{kg}}}$
$=\sqrt{6.5866\times10^4}$
$\text{v}=811.579\text{ ms}^{-1}$

Question 93 Marks
Electrons are emitted with zero velocity from a metal surface when it is exposed to radiation of wavelength 6800 $\mathring{\text{A}}.$ Calculate threshold frequency (ν0 ) and work function (W0 ) of the metal.
Answer
Threshold wavelength of radian $(\lambda_0)=6800\mathring{\text{A}}=6800\times10^{-10}\text{m}$
Threshold frequency (v0) of the metal
$=\frac{\text{c}}{\lambda_0}=\frac{3\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{6.8\times10^{-7}\text{m}}=4.41\times10^{14}\text{s}^{-1}$
Thus, the threshold frequency (v0) of the metal is 4.41 × 1014 s–1.
Hence, work function (W0) of the metal = hν0
= (6.626 × 10–34Js)(4.41 × 1014 s–1)
= 2.922 × 10–19J

Question 123 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 133 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.

Question 153 Marks
What is the number of photons of light with a wavelength of 4000 pm that provide 1J of energy?
Answer
Energy (E) of a photon = hν
Energy (En) of ‘n’ photons = nhν
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{\text{E}_{\text{n}}\lambda}{\text{hc}}$
Where,
$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = 4000 pm = 4000 × 10–12m
c = velocity of light in vacuum = 3 × 108m/s
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10–34Js
Substituting the values in the given expression of n:
$\text{n}=\frac{(1)\times(4000\times10^{-12})}{(6.626\times10^{-34})(3\times10^8)}=2.012\times10^{16}$
Hence, the number of photons with a wavelength of 4000 pm and energy of 1J are 2.012 × 1016.

Question 183 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 283 Marks
Threshold frequency, ν0 is the minimum frequency which a photon must possess to eject an electron from a metal. It is different for different metals. When a photon of frequency 1.0 × 1015s-1 was allowed to hit a metal surface, an electron having 1.988 × 10-19J of kinetic energy was emitted. Calculate the threshold frequency of this metal. Show that an electron will not be emitted if a photon with a wavelength equal to 600 nm hits the metal surface.
Answer
$\text{hv}=\text{h}_0+\text{K.E}.$
$\text{hv}_0=\text{hv}-\text{K.E.}$
$\text{v}_0=\text{v}-\frac{\text{K.E.}}{\text{h}}\ ...(\text{i})$
$\text{v}=1.0\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1}$
$\text{K.E.}=1.988\times^{-19}\text{J},\text{ h}=6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}$
From (i) we have,
$\text{v}_0=1.0\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1}-\frac{1.988\times10^{-19}\text{J}}{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}$
$=(1.0\times10^{15}-0.30\times10^{15})\text{s}^{-1}$
$=0.7\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1}=7\times10^{14}\text{s}^{-1}$
$\lambda=600\text{nm}=600\times10^{-9}\text{m}=6.0\times^{-7}\text{m}$
$\text{v}=\frac{\text{v}}{\lambda}=\frac{3.0\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{6.0\times10^{-1}\text{m}}=5\times10^{14}\text{s}^{-1}$
Thus v < v0, Hence, no electron will be emitted.

Question 293 Marks
  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 × 10-34Js)

Answer
  1. s-Orbital is spherically symmetrical, i.e. it is non directional.
  2. Transition is from n1 = 5 to n2 = 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 $=\frac{\text{Velocity}}{\text{Frequency}}$

$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{v}}=\frac{3\times10^8\text{ms}^{-1}}{6.91\times10^{14}\text{Hz}}$

$\lambda=0.434\times10^{-6}\text{m}$

$\lambda=434\times10^{-9}\text{m}=434\text{nm}$ $[\because1\text{nm}=10^{-9}\text{m}]$

$\text{K.E}=3.0\times10^{-25}\text{J}$

$\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2=3.0\times10^{-25}\text{J}$

$\text{K.E}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{V}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{KE}}{\text{m}}}$

$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mV}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{m}\times\sqrt{\frac{2\text{K.E}}{\text{m}}}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\times\text{K.E}\times\text{m}}}$

$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{m}\times\text{K.E}}}=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times3\times10^{-25}}}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{54.6\times10^{-56}}}=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{7.39\times10^{-28}}$

$=8.93\times10^{-7}\text{m}=893\text{nm}=8930\mathring{\text{A}}$

  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).

Answer
$\bar{\text{v}}=\text{R}_\text{H}\Big[\frac{1}{\text{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}_2^2}\Big]$
$\bar{\text{v}}=109677\text{cm}^{-1}\Big[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\bar{\text{v}}=109677\times\frac{5}{36}=1523.9\text{cm}^{-1}$
$\bar{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{\lambda}\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{1}{\bar{\text{v}}}=\frac{1}{1523.9}=6564\times10^{-5}\text{cm}$

Answer
$\text{E}_{\text{n}}=\frac{ (–2.18 \times 10–18 )}{\text{n}^2}\text{J}$
Energy required for ionization from n = 2 is given by,
$\triangle\text{E = E}_{\infty}-\text{E}_2$
$=\Big[\Big(\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{(\infty)^2}\Big)-\Big(\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{(2)^2}\Big)\Big]\text{J}$

What is the energy in joules, required to shift the electron of the hydrogen atom from the first Bohr orbit to the fifth Bohr orbit and what is the wavelength of the light emitted when the electron returns to the ground state? The ground state electron energy is –2.18 × 10–11ergs.
Answer
1erg = 10-7J
As ground state electronic energy is  –2.18 × 10-11ergs, this means that $\text{E}_{\text{n}}\frac{-21.8\times10^{-11}}{\text{n}^2}\text{ergs}.$
$\triangle\text{E = E}_5-\text{E}_1=2.18\times10^{-11}\Big(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{5^2}\Big)$
$=2.18\times10^{-11}\Big(\frac{24}{25}\Big)$
$=2.09\times10^{-1}\text{ ergs}$
$=2.09\times10^{-18}\text{J}$
When electron returns to ground state (n = 1), energy emitted = 2.09 × 10-11ergs.
As, $\text{E = hv}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{E}}=\frac{(6.626\times10^{-27}\text{ erg sec})(3.0\times10^{10}\text{cm s}^{-1})}{2.09\times10^{-11}\text{ergs}}$

Question 423 Marks
Yellow light emitted from a sodium lamp has a wavelength $(\lambda)$ of 580 nm. Calculate the frequency (ν) and wavenumber $(\bar{\text{v}})$ of the yellow light.
Answer
From the expression,
$\lambda=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{v}}$
We get,
$\text{v}=\frac{\text{c}}{\lambda} \ ...(1)$
Where,
ν = frequency of yellow light
c = velocity of light in vacuum = 3 × 108m/s
λ = wavelength of yellow light = 580nm = 580 × 10–9m
Substituting the values in expression (i)
$\text{v}=\frac{3\times10^{8}}{580\times10^{-9}}=5.17\times10^{14}\text{ s}^{-1}$
Thus, frequency of yellow light emitted from the sodium lamp
= 5.17 × 1014 s–1
Wave number of yellow light, $\bar{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{\lambda}$
$=\frac{1}{580\times10^{-9}}=1.72\times10^{6}\text{ m}^{-1}$

  1. For $\text{n}=2,$

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

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

Therefore, a total of 2 + 6 = 8 electrons are present.

  1. For $\text{n}=3,$ when

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

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

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

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

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
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 watt = 150Js-1
Energy radiated as light per second,

Question 513 Marks
How much energy is required to ionise a H atom if the electron occupies n = 5 orbit? Compare your answer with the ionization enthalpy of H atom (energy required to remove the electron from n = 1 orbit).
Answer
$\text{E}_{\text{n}}=\frac{-21.8\times10^{-19}}{\text{n}^2\text{Jatom}^{-1}}$
For ionization from 5th orbit, $\text{n}_{1}=5,\text{n}_2=\infty$
$\therefore\triangle\text{E = E}_2-\text{E}_1=-21.8\times10^{-19}\times\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}2^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}1^2}\Big)$
$=21.8\times10^{-19}\times\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}1^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}2^2}\Big)$
$=21.8\times10^{-19}\times\Big(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{\infty}\Big)$
$=8.72\times10^{-20}\text{J}$
For ionization from 1st orbit, $\text{n}_1=1,\text{n}_2=\infty$
$\therefore\triangle\text{E}'=21.8\times10^{-19}\times\Big(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\infty}\Big)=21.8\times10^{-19}\text{J}$
$\frac{\triangle\text{E}'}{\triangle\text{E}}=\frac{21.8\times10^{-19}}{8.72\times10^{-20}}=25$
Hence, 25 times less energy is required to ionize an electron in the 5th orbital of hydrogen atom as compared to that in the ground state.

Lifetimes of the molecules in the excited states are often measured by using pulsed radiation source of duration nearly in the nano second range. If the radiation source has the duration of 2 ns and the number of photons emitted during the pulse source is 2.5 × 1015, calculate the energy of the source.
Answer
Frequency of radiation (ν),
$\text{v}=\frac{1}{2.0\times10^{-9}\text{s}}$
ν = 5.0 × 108s–1
Energy (E) of source = Nhν
Where,
N = number of photons emitted
h = Planck’s constant
ν = frequency of radiation
Substituting the values in the given expression of (E):
E = (2.5 × 1015)(6.626 × 10–34Js)(5.0 × 108s–1)
E = 8.282 × 10–10J
Hence, the energy of the source (E) is 8.282 × 10–10J.

Question 533 Marks
Out of electron and proton which one will have, a higher velocity to produce matter waves of the same wavelength? Explain it.
Answer
The de-broglie relationship is given by,
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
Where $\lambda$ is wavelength, m is mass and v is velocity.
We can also write the relation as,
$\text{v}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{m}\lambda}$
So, velocity is inversely proportional to the mass.
Mass of electron = 9.1 × 10-31kg
mass of proton = 1.6 × 10-27kg
Mass of proton is more than mass of electron therefore the velocity of electron is more than that of proton.

Question 563 Marks
Calculate the wavenumber for the longest wavelength transition in the Balmer series of atomic hydrogen.
Answer
For the Balmer series, ni = 2. Thus, the expression of wave number $(\bar{\text{v}})$ is given by,
$\bar{\text{v}}=\bigg[\frac{1}{(2)^2}{}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^{2}_{\text{r}}}\bigg](1.097\times10^7\text{m}^{-1})$
Wave number $(\bar{\text{v}})$ is inversely proportional to wavelength of transition. Hence, for the longest wavelength transition, $\bar{\text{v}}$ has to be the smallest.
For $\bar{\text{v}}$ to be minimum, nf should be minimum. For the Balmer series, a transition from ni = 2 to nf = 3 is allowed. Hence, taking nf = 3, we get:
$\bar{\text{v}}=(1.097\times10^7)\Big[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\Big]$
$\bar{\text{v}}=(1.097\times10^7)\Big[\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9}\Big]$
$=(1.097\times10^7)\Big(\frac{9-4}{36}\Big)$
$=(1.097\times10^7)\Big(\frac{5}{36}\Big)$
$\bar{\text{v}}=1.5236\times10^6\text{ m}^{-1}$

Answer
$\text{n}_1=2$
$\text{n}_2=5$
By Rydberg equation
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}_{\text{H}}\text{Z}^2\Big[\frac{1}{\text{n}_1{^2}}-\frac{1}{\text{n}_2{^2}}\Big]$ $\text{R}_{\text{H}}=1.09\times10^7\text{m}^{-1}\\ \text{Z}=2$
$=1.09\times10^7\times4\Big[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2}\Big]$
$=4.36\times10^7\Big[\frac{25-4}{25\times4}\Big]$

Question 593 Marks
Find out the number of wave made by a Bohr electron in one complete revolution in its 3rd orbit.
Answer
In general, number of waves in any orbit is,
Number of wayes $=\frac{\text{Circumference of orbit}}{\text{Wavelength}}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}}{\lambda}$
But $\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mc}}$
Number of waves $=\frac{2\pi\text{r}}{\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}.\text{mv}}{\text{h}}=\frac{2\pi(\text{mvr})}{\text{h}}$
The angular momentum of Bohr's 3rd orbit is,
$\text{mvr}=\frac{3\text{h}}{2\pi}$
$\therefore$ Number of wayes $=\frac{2\pi}{\text{h}}\times\frac{3\text{h}}{2\pi}=3$
Number of waves in Bohr,s 3rd orbit = 3.

Question 613 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 643 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.

Which of the following are isoelectronic species i.e., those having the same number of electrons?
$\text{Na}^+,\text{K}^+,\text{Mg}^{2+},\text{Ca}^{2+},\text{S}^{2-},\text{Ar}.$
Answer
Notes:

Isoelectronic are the species having same number of electrons.

A positive charge means the shortage of an electron.

A negative charge means gain of electron.

Number of electrons in Na+ = 11 - 1 = 10

Number of electrons in K+ = 19 - 1 = 18

Number of electrons in Mg2+ = 12 - 2 = 10

Number of electrons in Ca2+ = 20 - 2 = 18

Number of electrons in S2- = 16 + 2 = 18

Number of electrons in Ar = 18

Hence, the following are isoelectronic species:

  1. Na+ and Mg2+ (10 electrons each)
  2. K+, Ca2+, S2- and Ar (18 electrons each)

$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times10^{-34}\text{Js}}{(9.10939\times10^{-31}\text{kg})(811.579\text{ ms}^{-1})}$

$\lambda=8.9625\times10^{-7}\text{m}$

Hence, the wavelength of the electron is 8.9625 × 10–7m.

Question 683 Marks
What transition in the hydrogen spectrum would have the same wavelength as the Balmer transition n = 4 to n = 2 of He+ spectrum?
Answer
For Heion, the wave number $(\bar{\text{v}})$ associated with the Balmer transition, n = 4 to n = 2 is given by:

$\bar{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{RZ}^2\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Big)$

Where,

n1 = 2

n2 = 4

Z = atomic number of helium

$\bar{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}(2)^2\Big(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{16}\Big)$

$=4\text{R}\Big(\frac{4-1}{16}\Big)$

$\bar{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{3\text{R}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{4}{3\text{R}}$

According to the question, the desired transition for hydrogen will have the same wavelength as that of He+.

$\Rightarrow\text{R}(1)^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}_2^2}\bigg]=\frac{3\text{R}}{4}$

$\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\bigg]=\frac{3}{4}...(1)$

By hit and trail method, the equality given by equation (1) is true only when

n1 = 1and n2 = 2.

$\therefore$ The transition for n2 = 2 to n = 1 in hydrogen spectrum would have the same wavelength as Balmer transition n = 4 to n = 2 of He+ spectrum.

  1. O2– ion

The electronic configuration of 0 atom is 1s2 2s2 2p4.

A dinegative charge on the species indicates that two electrons are gained by it.

$\therefore$ Electronic configuration of O2– ion = 1s2 2s2 p6

  1. F ion

The electronic configuration of F atom is 1s2 2s2 2p5.

Question 733 Marks
Show that the circumference of the Bohr orbit for the hydrogen atom is an integral multiple of the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electron revolving around the orbit.
Answer
Since a hydrogen atom has only one electron, according to Bohr’s postulate, the angular momentum of that electron is given by:
$\text{mvr}=\text{n}\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}...(1)$
Where,
n = 1, 2, 3, …
According to de Broglie’s equation:
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
or $\text{mv}=\frac{\text{h}}{\lambda}...(2)$
Substituting the value of ‘mv’ from expression (2) in expression (1):
$\frac{\text{hr}}{\lambda}=\text{n}\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$
or $2\pi\text{r}=\text{n}\lambda...(3)$
Since $'2\pi\text{r}'$ represents the circumference of the Bohr orbit (r), it is proved by equation (3) that the circumference of the Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom is an integral multiple of de Broglie’s wavelength associated with the electron revolving around the orbit.

Question 753 Marks
When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 300nm falls on the surface of sodium, electrons are emitted with a kinetic energy of 1.68 ×105J 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?
(h = 6.626 × 10-34Js)
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).

Uncretainity in position, $\Delta\text{x}=\frac{ \text{h}}{4\text{m}\pi\times\Delta\text{v}}$

Question 773 Marks
An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol.
Answer
Let the number of protons in the element be x.
$\therefore$ Number of neutrons in the element
= x + 31.7% of x
= x + 0.317 x
= 1.317 x
According to the question,
Mass number of the element = 81
$\therefore$ (Number of protons + number of neutrons) = 81
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+1.317\text{x}=81$
$2.317\text{x}=81$
$\text{x}=\frac{81}{2.317}$
$=34 .95$
$\therefore\text{x}=35$
Hence, the number of protons in the element i.e., x is 35.
Since the atomic number of an atom is defined as the number of protons present in its nucleus, the atomic number of the given element is 35.
$\therefore$ The atomic symbol of the element is $\text{ }^{81}_{35}\text{Br}.$
