Structure of Atom: Assignment (5 Marks Each)

This document contains 4 multi-part questions about atomic structure and quantum mechanics principles: 1. It defines the photoelectric effect and asks about its practical application and to calculate threshold frequency and work function from given information. 2. It asks about the de Broglie relation, why it does not apply to macroscopic objects, and which particle has the largest de Broglie wavelength for a given velocity. 3. It asks about the significance of the uncertainty principle and why it does not apply to macroscopic objects. It also asks to calculate position uncertainty given momentum uncertainty information. 4. It asks about the Aufbau principle, the significance of orbital depictions, and to explain electron configuration exceptions

Structure of Atom
Assignment ( 5 marks each )
1. (a) Define photoelectric effect ? Mention its one practical application in daily
life.
(b) Electrons are emitted with zero velocity from a metal surface when it is
exposed to radiation of wavelength 6800 Å. Calculate threshold frequency
(v0) and work function (W0) of the metal.
[Ans. 4.41 × 1014 s−1, 2.91 × 10−19 J]
2. (a) State de Broglie relation. Why it is not meaningful for a moving cricket ball
?
(b) Which out of (i) electron (e), (ii) proton (p) (iii) α particle, has maximum de
Broglie’s wavelength ? [Assume that all are moving with the same velocity.]
(c) The wavelength associated with particle ‘A’ is 5 × 10−8 m. Calculate the
wavelength associated with particle B, if its momentum is half of A.
[Ans. 1 × 10−7 m]
3. (a) What is the significance of the statement ‘‘Product of uncertainty in position
and momentum is always constant.’’ ?
(b) Why is uncertainty principle not applicable to macroscopic and semimicro
particles ?
(c) An electron has a speed of 40 ms-1 accurate upto 99.99%. What is the
uncertainty in locating its position ? (me = 9.11 × 10-31 kg)
[Ans. 1.45 × 10–2 m]
4. (a) State Aufbau principle.
(b) What is the physical significance of lines in the following depiction of atomic
orbital ?

s-orbital p-orbital
(c) Explain the following with suitable reason :
(i) In potassium, the 19th electron enters in 4s subshell instead of 3d
subshell.
(ii) Chromium has configuration 3d 5 4s 1 and not 3d 4 4s 2.
(iii) The three electrons present in 2p subshell of nitrogen (N) remain
unpaired and have the parallel spins.
