the atom is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the atom.
14. Why Fe3+ ion is more stable than Fe2+ ion?
Sol. The electronic configuration of iron
 26Fe = [Ar]
3d6 4s2
 Fe2+ = [Ar]
3d6 4s0
[In this case (Fe2+), two electrons gets removed from the 4s-orbital leaving four unpaired electron in
3d-orbitals]
Fe3+ = [Ar]
3d 5 4s0
[In this case (Fe3+), two 4s electrons and one 3d electron gets removed to form Fe3+ ion]
In Fe3+, the d-orbitals are half-filled and symmetrical. So they are very stable.
Therefore, Fe3+ ion is more stable than Fe2+ ion.

16. What are orbits? Why Bohr’s orbits are called stationary states?
Sol. Orbits : Orbits are the fixed circular paths in which the electrons revolve around the nucleus.
Bohr’s orbits are called stationary states because the radius and energy of orbits in which the electrons revolve
around the nucleus is fixed.
17. Give the explanation behind following the Hund’s Rule of maximum multiplicity along with an example.
Sol. Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity is followed so as to minimize the electronic repulsions in an atom. The
electron-electron repulsions are minimum when the electrons are as far apart as possible with parallel spins
i.e., when all the orbitals of the subshells are half-filled with parallel spins.
For example :
1, 2 3, 4 5, 6 7
Nitrogen : 7N (Wrong way)
2 2 3
1s 2s 2p
The above is the wrong way of filling the orbitals, as pairing cannot occur unless all the degenerate orbitals
are singly filled.
1, 2 3, 4 5 6 7
So, Nitrogen 7N (Correct way)
2 2 3
1s 2s 2p
The above is the correct way of assigning the electrons in which p-orbitals are singly filled.

is 21 i.e., Z = 21
 Number of protons = 21
Number of electrons = 21 – 3 = 18

radiations. In case of light, the quantum is called ‘photon’. The energy of quantum of radiation is proportional
to its frequency

23. Write down the main postulates of Bohr’s model for hydrogen atom.
Sol. The main postulates of Bohr’s model for hydrogen atom are as follows :
(i) The electrons in the hydrogen atom revolve around the nucleus in a circular paths of fixed radius and energy
called orbits or allowed energy states.
(ii) An electron do not radiate energy if it stayed in one orbit and therefore do not fall into the nucleus.
(iii) An electron moves from a lower energy state to higher energy state after absorbing energy but energy is
emitted when electron moves from the higher energy state to lower energy state.
24. Calculate the wavelength of moving object ‘X’ so that its momentum is four times that of the moving object
‘Z’ having wavelength 2.6 × 10–10 m.
Sol. Wavelength of object ‘Z’ = 2.6 × 10–10 m
Momentum (p) of object ‘X’ is four times that of object ‘Z’ i.e., p x  4p z (Given)

28. Write a short note on Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Is it applicable to macroscopic objects?
Sol. According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle : “It is impossible to measure simultaneously both the position
and velocity (or momentum) of a microscopic moving particle”.
h
x  v 
4m
where x = uncertainty in position and v = uncertainty in velocity
This uncertainty principle led to the concept of probability of finding the electron around the nucleus.
Uncertainty principle is not applicable to macroscopic objects as from the equation it is clear
1
x  v 
m
m = Mass of the object
As, the mass of the macroscopic objects is large, therefore the uncertainties become insignificant.

(iii) n = 3, l = 1, ml = –2, ms = 
2
1
(iv) n = 2, l = 0, ml = 0, ms = 
2
Sol. (i) Possible.
(ii) Not possible, as ‘l’ can never have value equal to ‘n’.
‘l’ has values = 0 to (n – 1)
(iii) Not possible
l = 1, ml = –2
Magnetic quantum number = –2 is not possible here as ml has value = –l to +l including 0.
So, the possible values of ml can be = –1, 0, +1
(iv) Possible.
30. State (n + l) rule. Illustrate with the help of example.
Sol. The energy of an orbital is determined by (n + l) rule as follows :
(i) The orbital with the lower (n + l) value have lower energy. For example, 4s and 3d-orbitals.
4s-orbital 3d-orbital
n=4 n=3
l=0 l=2
nl  4 nl 5
Thus 4s-orbital has a lower energy than 3d-orbital, hence filled first.
(ii) When the two orbitals have the same (n + l) value, then the orbital having lower value of n has lower energy.
For example : 2p and 3s-orbitals
2p-orbital 3s-orbital
n=2 n=3
l=1 l=0
nl 3 nl 3
Thus 2p-orbital has lower energy than 3s-orbital, hence filled first.

32. Discuss photoelectric effect in detail.

Sol. When a beam of light of suitable frequency falls on a metal surface, electrons are ejected from the surface
of metal. This phenomenon of ejection of electrons from the surface of a metal by the action of light is known
as photoelectric effect. The electron so ejected are called photoelectrons. It explains the particle nature of light.

Photoelectric effect
Generally the metals which show this effect are as Cs, K and Rb.
The three important facts about photoelectric effect are
(a) There is no time lag between the ejection of the electrons from metal and the striking of beam of light on
the surface.
(b) The number of electron ejected is directly proportional to the intensity of light.
(c) There is some characteristic minimum frequency for a metal called threshold frequency, below which the
photoelectric effect cannot be observed.
Photoelectric effect follows the law of conservation of energy principle.

h = h0 + me v 2
2
h = Energy of incident light
h0 = Threshold energy or work function

me v 2 = K.E. of the photoelectrons

While the number of electrons ejected depends upon the intensity of incident light but their energies do not
depend upon the energy of the incident light.

(iii) These rays are not visible but their behaviour can be observed with the help of certain kind of
phosphorescent materials like zinc sulphide (ZnS).
(iv) On applying electric field, these rays are deflected towards the positive plate. This shows that the cathode
rays constitute negatively charged particles called electrons.
(v) The mass of the particles do not depend on the nature of the gas taken in the discharge tube.
34. (i) Discuss the line spectrum of hydrogen.
(ii) Find out the longest wavelength of absorption line for hydrogen gas containing atoms in ground state.
Sol. (i) Line spectrum of hydrogen : When an electric discharge is passed through gaseous hydrogen, the H2
molecules dissociate and the energetically excited hydrogen atoms produced emit electromagnetic radiation
of discrete frequencies.
There are five series of lines called Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series.
All the series of lines in the hydrogen spectrum could be described by the following expression

35. What is the ground state electronic configuration of copper and Cu+ ion? Why fully-filled orbitals are more stable?
Sol. The ground state electronic configuration of copper (29Cu) is
29Cu = 1s 22s 22p 63s 23p 63d 10 4s 1
29Cu = [Ar]3d 10 4s 1
= [Ar]
3 d 10 4s1
Cu+ = [Ar]3d 10 4s 0
= [Ar]
3 d 10 4s0
The stability of fully-filled orbitals are highly stable due to the following reasons :
(i) Symmetrical distribution of electrons : It is well-known fact that symmetry leads to stability. The
completely filled orbitals are symmetrical, therefore stable.
(ii) Exchange energy : The stabilizing effect arises whenever two or more electrons with the same spin are
present in the degenerate orbitals of a subshell. These electrons with same spin can exchange their
positions and the energy involved is called exchange energy. Greater the number of exchange, greater will
be the exchange energy and more will be stability. In case of fully filled orbitals, maximum number of
exchanges are possible, therefore, it has maximum stability.

Number of protons (Z) = 16

Number of electron = 16
Number of neutrons = A – Z

Therefore, the number of protons in 2.4 g of S = 7.22 × 1023 protons

The number of electrons in 2.4 g of S = 7.22 × 1023 electrons
The number of neutrons in 2.4 g of S = 7.22 × 1023 neutrons

40. State and explain Pauli’s exclusion principle along with its applications.
Sol. Pauli’s exclusion principle states that “no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum
numbers”. That means that the number of electrons to be filled in the various orbitals is restricted by the
exclusion principle. Two electrons in an orbital can have the same values of three quantum numbers n, l and
ml but must have the opposite spin quantum numbers (ms).
For example, for K shell i.e., ‘n’ = 1
n l m s
1
1 0 0  (For first electron)
2
1
1 0 0  (For second electron)
2
Two points we can conclude from this principle that
(i) An orbital cannot have more than 2 electrons.
(ii) If an orbital has two electrons, they must have opposite spin.
Application of the principle
The maximum number of electrons in different sub-shells and energy levels can be deduced from this principle.
For L shell ‘n’ = 2

42. (i) What are (a) Atomic orbital, (b) Quantum numbers, (c) Orbits?
(ii) List the four quantum along with their functions.
Sol. (i) (a) Atomic orbital : It is defined as the 3-dimensional region of space around the nucleus where the
probability of finding an electron is maximum.
(b) Quantum numbers may be defined as a set of four numbers with help of which we can give the
complete information about the electron present in an atom.

43. Write down the conclusion made from -scattering experiment and the defects of the Rutherford model of atom.
Sol. Conclusions of -scattering experiment
(a) Most of the space in the atom is empty as most of the -particles passed undeflected.
(b) A few positively charged -particles were deflected. This shows that they are deflected by the small
positively charged body in the atom.
(c) The positively charged body called nucleus is very small of radius 10–15 m as compared to the radius of
atom which is about 10–10 m.
Defects
(i) Position of electrons : The exact position of the electrons from the nucleus was not mentioned.
(ii) Stability of atom : According to electromagnetic theory, when a charged body moves under the influence
of an attractive force, it loses energy continuously in the form of electromagnetic radiations. The electron
should therefore continuously emit radiation and lose energy. As a result of this a moving electron will come
closer to the nucleus through a spiral path, it should ultimately fall into the nucleus. So, Rutherford’s model
of atom could not account for the stability of atom.

9. Write the central idea of Planck’s quantum theory.
Sol. Planck’s quantum theory states that the radiant energy is not emitted continuously but discontinuously in the
form of small packets of energy called quantum having energy equal to h.
10. What is work function?
Sol. The minimum amount of energy required to eject the photoelectron is called work function.
Work function (W0) = h0
0 = Threshold frequency
h = Planck’s constant
11. Describe briefly about azimuthal quantum number.
Sol. Azimuthal quantum number is denoted as ‘l’. This quantum number determines the angular momentum of the
electron. It defines the three dimensional shape of the orbital. For a given value of ‘n’, ‘l’ can have values 0
to (n – 1).
12. Why the effect of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle insignificant for macroscopic moving objects?
h
Sol. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is given by the formula x × v 
4m
Macroscopic objects have large mass, so, the value of x × v becomes extremely small and insignificant
and the associated uncertainties are hardly of any real consequence.
13. Describe Thomson’s model of atom.

Short Answer Type Questions :
16. Write down the drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of atom.
Sol. (i) According of Maxwell, the charged moving bodies radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic radiations.
As, electron is also a charged body revolving around the nucleus i.e., under acceleration must radiate
energy. After losing energy it must fall into the nucleus spirally. But this does not happen as atom is
stable. Therefore, Rutherford’s atomic model could not account for the stability.
–
+
(ii) Rutherford’s model gave no idea about how the electrons are distributed around the nucleus and what are
the energies of these electrons.

E  2.25  10 21 J
19. Explain Hund’s rule of maximum spin multiplicity.
Sol. This rule says that no pairing of electron starts in any of the degenerate orbitals until all the orbitals of the
subshell contain one electron each with parallel spin.
For example, each of the three p-orbitals of the p subshell gets one electron of parallel spin before any one
of them receives second electron of opposite spin.
Example :
7 N=
1s2 2s2 2p3
This principle is very important in guiding the filling of p, d, f and g subshells which have more than one kind
of orbitals.
20. Write some properties of anode rays.
Sol. Anode rays are also known as canal rays
(i) These rays are positively charged.
(ii) These rays originate in the region between the two electrodes in the discharge tube.
(iii) The mass of positive particles which constitute these rays depend upon the nature of the gas in the tube.
(iv) The magnitude of charge on anode rays varies from particle to particle depending upon the number of
electrons lost by gaseous atom.
21. What do we mean by the dual nature of electromagnetic radiations?
Sol. Dual nature of electromagnetic radiations mean that the radiations possess both particle as well as wave
character. This is evident that particle nature of light can explain the black body radiation and photoelectric
effect but cannot explain the phenomenon of interference and diffraction which can only be explained by wave
nature of light. Therefore light (electromagnetic radiation) possess dual behaviour either as a wave or as a stream
of particles when radiation interacts with matter, or as a wave when it displays wave like properties like
diffraction and interference.
Long Answer Type Questions :
22. Discuss in detail the shape of s-orbital.
Sol. For s-orbital, l = 0 and ‘ml’ value is also 0. As the ‘ml’ value is 0. This means that the probability of finding
an electron in s-orbital is same in all directions at a given distance from the nucleus. The shape of s-orbitals
is spherical and non-directional.
The s-orbitals in all energy levels i.e., higher energy levels (2s, 3s etc.) are also spherically symmetrical and
non-directional. As the principal quantum number (n) increases the effective volume or size of the orbitals
increases. This means 2s-orbital is larger than 1s-orbital.
Nodes : 2s-orbital consists of two spherical regions of high electron probability. In between these two spheres,
there is a spherical shell or region where the probability of finding the electron is zero. This spherical region
is called node or nodal surface. More precisely this node is called radial node. The only way in which 2s-orbital
differs from 1s-orbital is its larger size and presence of node.
Number of nodes for s-orbital = n – 1
Therefore,
1s-orbital = 0 node
2s-orbital = 1 node
1s-Orbital 2s-Orbital
