ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1. It is impossible to determine the position as well as momentum of an electron in an atom. This
principle is known as-
(i) De Broglie’s law (ii) Heisenberg uncertainity principle
(iii) Aufbau principle (iv) Pauli’s exclusion principle
2. When the azimuthal quantum number l=1, the shape of the orbital will be-
(i) Spherical (ii) dumb-bell (iii) double dumb-bell (iv) circular
3. Arrange the following orbitals in the increasing order of energy.
(i) 1s, 2s, 3s, 2p (ii) 5p,4d, 5d, 4f, 6s
4. Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is not allowable ? (in the order as n,l,m,s )
(i) 2,1,0,+1/2 (ii) 2,2,1,+1/2 (iii) 2,1,+1,-1/2 (iv) 3,2,0,-1/2.
2+
5. How many unpaired electrons are there in Ni ?
(i) 0 (ii) 2 (iii) 4 (iv) 6
6. The Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum corresponds to the transition from n 1=2 to n2=3,4.
This series lies in the visible region. Calculate the wave number of line associated with the
transition in Balmer series when the electron moves to n=4 orbit. (RH=109677cm-1)
7. 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.
8. (a) Calculate the atomic number of an element having 4s24p6 configuration in its last orbit.

electrons.

4d ,4f ,5s ,5p ,6s ,5f.
10. Table-tennis ball has a mass of 10g and a speed of 90m/s. If speed can be measured within an
accuracy of 4% what will be the uncertainty in speed and position?
11. Calculate the energy and frequency of the radiation emitted when and electron jumps from n=3
to n=2 in a hydrogen atom.
12. Write the electronic configuration of Cr 2+ and Mn4+ and give the number of unpaired electrons
in each case.
13. Assign the values of n, l and m for a 2s, 2p and 4d orbital.

spectrum of hydrogen -

in the lyman series.

N(7) deduce the possible values of all the four quantum numbers for the 19 th electron of Cr,
21st electron of Sc and p electrons of N.
17. What is meant by a node? How many radial and angular nodes are there for the 3s 4p 5d
orbitals?
18. Wavelengths of different radiations are given below-
Λ(a) =300nm, λ(b) =300microm, λ(c) =3nm, λ(d) = 30 A o. Arrange these radiations in the
increasing order of their energies.
