Thomson showed that the stream of particles in cathode ray tube is made up of small particles which are a component of the atom and is :
  • A
    Neutral.
  • Negatively charged.
  • C
    Positively charged.
  • D

Negatively charged.
Thomson discovered electrons using the cathode ray tube. It has been previously seen that if a electric current is passed through a vacuum tube, a glowing stream is formed. Thomson found that the mysterious glowing stream would bend toward a positively charged electric plate. He concluded that the stream is negatively charged. He also concluded based on his experiments that the negative stream has negatively charged particles that he called corpuscles $($later renamed electrons$).$

Since, the last electron or valence electron enter in $5\ s$ subshell.
So, the quantum numbers are $n = 5, l = 0, ($for $s-$ orbital$)$
$\text{m}=0(\because\text{m}=+\text{l}\ \text{to }-\text{l}),$
$\text{s}=+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}.$

Which of the following is responsible to rule out the existence of definite paths or trajectories of electrons?
  • A
    Pauli's exclusion principle.
  • Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
  • C
    Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity.
  • D
    Aufbau principle.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
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, $\Delta\text{x}\times\Delta\text{p}\geq\frac{\text{h}}{4\pi}$
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.

In atom, an electron is moving with a speed of $600m/ s$ with an accuracy of $0.005\%$. Certainty with which the position of the electron can be located is : $\left(\mathrm{h}=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\right.,$ mass of electron, em $= 6.6 \times 10^{-31}kg)$
  • A
    $1.52 \times 10^{-4}m$
  • B
    $5.10 \times 10^{-3}m$
  • $1.92 \times 10^{-3}m$
  • D
    $3.84 \times 10^{-3}m$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$1.92 \times 10^{-3}m$
By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,
$\Delta\text{x}.\text{m}\Delta\text{v}=\frac{\text{h}}{4\pi}$
$\Delta\text{v}=0.005\%$ or $600\text{ms}=\frac{600\times0.005}{100}=0.03$
$\Delta\text{x}\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times0.03=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14}$
Hence, $\Delta\text{x}=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times0.03\times9.1\times10^{-31}}$
$=1.92\times10^{-3}\text{m}$

The plot of orbital wave function $\psi(\text{r})$ as a function of distance $r$ of the electron from the nucleus for $2\ s$ orbital is :
  • A
  • B
  • D
Answer
Correct option: C.
Plots of $(a)$ and $(c)$ are the variation of orbital wave function $\psi(\text{r})$ with $r(nm)$ while $(b)$ and $(d)$ are the variation of probability density $\psi^2(\text{r})$ as a function of distance $(r)$ of the electron from the nucleus for $1s$ and $2s$ orbital.
For $1s$ orbital the probability density is maximum at the nucleus and it decreased sharply as we move away from it. For $2s$ orbital the probability density first decreases sharply to zero and then starts increasing. After reaching maxima it decreases again and approaches zero as the value of $r$ increases further.

This is not the same as the atomic number $(Z)$ which denotes the number of protons in a nucleus, and thus uniquely identifies an element.

The above question can be answered on the basis of reasoning from analogy. We note that two periods have to pass before $d-$ orbitals begin to fill. This is also true of the spot where $f-$ orbitals commence filling. The second row where $f-$ orbitals fill happens to be row $\#\ 7 \ ($the one starting with $Fr)$. The first element where $5f-$ orbitals enter in is actinium $(\ce{Ac , Z = 89})$. Adding $32$ to this would give element $121$ termed as Unbiunium, the first Super $-$ Actinide.

Number of angular nodes for $4d$ orbital is $ ...........$
  • A
    $4.$
  • B
    $3$
  • $2.$
  • D
    $1.$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2.$
Number of radial nodes in any orbital $= (n - l - 1)$
$= (4 - 2 - 1) = 1$
Total number of nodes $= ( n - 1 )$
$= (4 - 1) = 3$
So angular node $=$ total node $-$ radial node
$= (3 - 1) = 2.$

After completion of $'np\ ’$ level, the electron enters into which level according to $\ce{(n + p)}$ rule?
  • A
    $\ce{(n − 1)d}$
  • $\ce{(n + 1)s}$
  • C
    $\ce{nd}$
  • D
    $\ce{(n + 1)p}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\ce{(n + 1)s}$
Energy of nd level would be higher than $\ce{(n + 1)s}.$
$\ce{nd = n + 2, (n + 1)s = n + 1}.$
So, electron will enter into lower energy level.
i.e, $\ce{(n + 1)s}$
Let us take an example of $'4p\ '$ orbital.

    $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ for an electron in $1\ s$ orbital is the same as $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ for an electron in a $2\ s$ orbital.
  • The two electrons present in the $2\ s$ orbital have spin quantum numbers $\ce{m_s}$ but of opposite sign.
Answer
Correct option: D.
The two electrons present in the $2\ s$ orbital have spin quantum numbers $\ce{m_s}$ but of opposite sign.
  1. Electrons in $2\ s$ and $2p$ orbitals have different screening effect. Hence, their $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ is different. $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ of $2\ s$ orbital $ > \ce{Z_{eff}}$ of $2p$ orbital.
Therefore, it is not correct.
  1. Energy of $2\ s$ orbital $ < $ energy of $2p$ orbital.
Hence, it is not correct.
  1. $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ of $1\ s$ orbital $\neq  \ce {Z_{eff}}$ of $2s$ orbital
Hence, it is incorrect.
  1. For the two electrons of $2s$ orbital, the value of $\ce{m_s}$ is $+\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{1}{2}.$
Hence, it is correct.

The band spectrum is caused by :
  • Molecules.
  • B
    Atoms.
  • C
    Any substance in solid state.
  • D
    Any substance in liquid state.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Molecules.
The band spectrum is caused by molecules. The energy levels of molecules are so close to each other that they combine to form a band. The valence band and conduction band are two types of bands. Electron transition between these two bands forms band spectrum.
For example a spectrum of air. The bright bands are due to molecular oxygen $\ce{(O_2)},$ molecular nitrogen $\ce{(N_2)},$ and other molecules.

  • The two electrons present in the $2\ s$ orbital have spin quantum numbers $m,$ but of opposite sign.
Answer
Correct option: D.
The two electrons present in the $2\ s$ orbital have spin quantum numbers $m,$ but of opposite sign.
  1. Electrons in $2s$ and $2p$ orbitals have different screen effect. Hence, their $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ are different. $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ of $2s$ orbital $ > \ce{Z_{eff}}$ of $2p$ orbital,
Therefore, it is not correct.
  1. Energy of $2s$ orbital $ < $ energy of $2p$ orbital.
Hence, it is not correct.
  1. $\ce{Z_{eff}}$ of $1\ s$ orbital $\not=\text{Z}_{\text{eff}}$ of $2\ s$ orbital,
Hence, it is incorrect.
  1. For the two electrons of $2\ s$ orbital, the value of $\ce{m_s}$ is $+\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{1}{2}.$
Hence, it is correct.

Determine the element if its ground state has $13$ electrons in its "$M-$ shell".
  • A
    Copper
  • Manganese
  • C
    Nickel
  • D
    Iron
Answer
Correct option: B.
Manganese
The $M$ shell is the third energy level; the first $(K)$ shell can contain only $2$ electrons. The second $(L)$ shell can contain up to $8$ electrons, for a total of $10$. The third $(M)$ shell can contain up to $18$ electrons, but when it gets to $10,$ the fourth or $N$ shell starts to fill up, since its first two electrons have lower energy than the next energy level in the M shell, so we have $18$ electrons in the $K, L,$ and $M$ shells and the next two go into the $N$ shell $($for element $20,$ or calcium$)$. So calcium has $10$ electrons in the $M$ shell and two in the $N$ shell; then the next electrons go into the $M$ shell $($the $3d$ orbitals) so when we get to a total of $25$ electrons, we have $10$ in the $K$ and $L$ shells, two in the $N$ shell, and $13$ in the $M$ shell. If it is a neutral atom, the element has atomic number $25,$ that is, manganese.
