Question 1: (1)
Which of the following options does not represent ground state electronic configuration of an atom?
(i) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d8 4s2
(ii) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9 4s2
(iii) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s1
(iv) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1
Question 2: (1)
Which of the following statement is not correct about the characteristics of cathode rays?
(i) They start from the cathode and move towards the anode.
(ii) They travel in straight line in the absence of an external electrical or magnetic field.
(iii) Characteristics of cathode rays do not depend upon the material of electrodes in cathode ray tube.
(iv) Characteristics of cathode rays depend upon the nature of gas present in the cathode ray tube.
Question 3:
The number of radial nodes for 3p orbital is __________.
(i) 3
(ii) 4
(iii) 2
(iv) 1 (1)
Question 4: (2)
Calculate the total number of angular nodes and radial nodes present in 3p orbital.
Question 5: (2)
The electronic configuration of valence shell of Cu is 3d104s1 and not 3d94s2.
How is this configuration explained?
Question 6: (2)
Out of electron and proton which one will have, a higher velocity to produce matter waves of the same
wavelength? Explain it.
Question 7: (2)
Hydrogen atom has only one electron, so mutual repulsion between electrons is absent. However, in multi
electron 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 multi electron atoms?
Question 8: (3)
According to de Broglie, matter should exhibit dual behaviour, that is both particle and wave like
properties. However, a cricket ball of mass 100 g does not move like a wave when it is thrown by a bowler
at a speed of 100 km/h. Calculate the wavelength of the ball and explain why it does not show wave
nature.
Question 9: (3)
Table-tennis ball has a mass 10 g and a speed of 90 m/s. If speed can be measured within an accuracy of
4% what will be the uncertainty in speed and position?
Question 10:
(3)
i) A hypothetical electromagnetic wave is shown in Fig. below. Find out the wavelength of the
radiation.
ii) Chlorophyll present in green leaves of plants absorbs light at 4.620 × 1014 Hz. Calculate the
wavelength of radiation in nanometer. Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it
belong to?
Question 11:
(5)
What designations are given to the orbitals having
(i) n = 2, l = 1
(ii) n = 2, l = 0
(iii) n = 4, l = 3
(iv) n = 4, l = 2
(v) n = 4, l = 1?
Question 12:
(5)
i) Name the sub – atomic particles of an atom [1]
ii) What is the mass of an electron and how much is it, the mass of a hydrogen atom?
[2]
iii) Which experiment led to the discovery of electrons and how? [2]
Answers
Answer 1: (ii)
Answer 2: (iv)
Answer 3: (iv)
Answer 4:
For 3p orbital n = 3, l = 1
Number of angular nodes = l = 1
Number of radial nodes = n – l – 1 = 3–1–1=1
Answer 5:
Completely filled and half filled orbitals have extra stability. In 3d104s1, d orbital is completely filled and s
is half filled. So it is more stable configuration.
Answer 6:
Being lighter particles, electrons will have higher velocity.
Hint : (λ = h/ mv)
Answer 7:
The energy of electron is determined by the value of n in hydrogen atom and by n + l in multi electron
atom. So for a given principal quantum number electrons of s, p, d and f orbitals have different energy.
Answer 8:
Answer 9:
Uncertainty in the speed of ball = (90 × 4)/100 = 360/100 = 3.6 ms-1
Uncertainty in position =h/(4π mΔv)
Answer 10:
i) Wavelength is the distance between two successive peaks or two successive troughs of a
wave. So λ = 4 × 2.16 pm = 8.64 pm
ii)
Answer 11:
(i) Here, n = 2, and l = 1 Since l = 1 it means a p-orbital, hence the given orbital is designated as
2p.
(ii) Here, n = 2 and l = 0 Since l = 0 means s – orbital, hence the given orbital is 2s.
(iii) Here, n = 4 and l = 3 Since, l = 3 represents f – orbital, hence the given orbital is a 4f orbital.
(iv) Here, n = 4 and l = 2 Since, l = 2 represents d – orbital, hence the given orbital is a 4d –
orbital.
(v) n = 4 and l = 1 since, l = 1 means it is a p – orbital, hence the given orbital can be designated
as – 4p orbital
Answer 12:
i) Electron, proton and neutron.
ii) mass of an electron (m) = e/(e/m)
iii) The cathode ray discharge tube experiment performed by J.J. Thomson led to the
discovery of negatively charged particles called electron.
A cathode ray tube consists of two thin pieces of metals called electrodes sealed inside a
glass tube with sealed ends. The glass tube is attached to a vacuum pump and the pressure
inside the tube is reduced to 0.01mm. When fairly high voltage (10, 000V) is applied
across the electrodes, invisible rays are emitted from the cathode called cathode rays.
Analysis of this rays led to the discovery electrons.
