This section contains two questions and carry 4 marks each.
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
31) Bohr's model explained electrons can revolve only in certain permitted orbits
whose angular momentum is integral multiple of h/2π, associated with fixed amount
of energy. Bohr theory could successfully explain stability of atoms and spectrum of
unielectron species. Hydrogen spectrum consists of Lyman, Balmer, Paschen,
Brackett and Pfund series. Bohr's theory could not explain 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 Aufbau's principle, Hund's Rule and Pauli's exclusion principle.
Each electron is identified by four quantum numbers n, l, ml and ms out which n, l, ml

4
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.

(iii) Write the electronic configuration of (a) Chromium (b) Copper

32) Redox reactions are important class of reactions which are taking place in our daily
life. Metals are good reducing agents because they can lose electrons easily whereas
non-metals are good oxidising agents which can gain electrons easily. In electrolytic
cells, electricity is passed to bring about redox reaction. All rechargeable batteries act
as electrolytic cells while recharging. Electrochemical cells produce electricity as a
result of redox reaction. Oxidation–reduction or redox reactions are reactions that
involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. The reaction in which a
species disproportionate in two oxidation states (lower and higher) is called
disproportionation reaction The equations for oxidation-reduction reactions must be
balanced for both mass and charge, which can make them challenging to balance by
inspection alone.
To balance such redox equation using the half-reaction method, the equation is first
divided into two half-reactions, one representing oxidation and one representing
reduction. The equations for the half-reactions are then balanced for mass and charge
and, if necessary, adjusted so that the number of electrons transferred in each
equation is the same. Finally, the half-reaction equations are added together, giving
the balanced overall equation for the reaction.

(i) The oxidation number of Mn in KMnO4 is
(a) + 7 (b) + 5 (c) + 3 (d) – 7
