SECTION-D
29 The mole provides a link between an easily measured macroscopic property, bulk mass, and 4
an extremely important fundamental property, number of atoms, molecules and so forth. The
number of entities composing a mole has been experimentally determined to be 6.022× 1023 a
fundamental constant named Avogadro’s number. Consistent with its definition as an amount
unit, 1 mole of any element contains the same number of atoms as 1 mole of any other
element. The masses of 1 mole of different elements, however, are different, since the masses
of the individual atoms are drastically different. The molar mass of an element (or
compound) is the mass in grams of 1 mole of that substance, a property expressed in units of
grams per mole (g/mol).
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:

30 Bohr's model explained electrons can revolve only in certain permitted orbits whose angular 4
momentum is integral multiple of h/2π𝜋, associated with fixed amount of energy. Bohr
theory could successfully explain stability of atoms and spectrum of unielectron species.
Hydrogen spectra consist of Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series. Bohr's
theory could not explain the spectrum of multi-electron species, Stark effect, Zeeman effect,
dual nature of matter, de Broglie equation and Heisenberg uncertainty principle which lead to
orbital concept. Electrons were filled in orbitals according to Autbau's principle, Hund's Rule
and Pauli's exclusion principle. Each electron is identified by four quantum numbers n, I,
ml and ms out which n, I, ml were derived from Schrodinger's wave equation. Half-filled and
completely filled orbitals are more stable due to exchange energy and symmetrical
distribution of electrons.
