1.Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: (1×4=4)
Orbitals are region or space where there is maximum probability of finding electrons.
Qualitatively, these orbitals can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation. An
orbital of small size means there is more chance of finding the electron near the
nucleus. Shape and orientation means the direction in which probability of finding
electron is maximum. Atomic orbitals can be distinguished by quantum numbers. Each
orbital is designated by three quantum numbers n, l and ml (magnetic quantum number)
which define energy, shape and orientation but these are not sufficient to explain
spectra of multi-electrons atoms. Spin quantum number (ms) determines the spin of
electron. Spin angular momentum of electron has two orientations relative to chosen
axis which are distinguished by spin quantum numbers ms which can take values +1/2
and –1/2.

2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: (1x4=4)
An ionic compound has 3-D crystal lattice in which positive and negative charges
are equal. The crystal lattice is stabilised by enthalpy of lattice formation, bond
length, bond angle, bond enthalpy, bond order and bond polarity have significant
effect on properties of compounds. All the properties of certain compounds cannot
be explained by single structure, more than one structure of a compound to
explain its property are called resonating structures.
Dipole moment depends upon polarity and shapes of molecules. Shapes of
molecules can be determined by VSEPR theory as well as hybridisation sp, sp2,
sp3, sp3d, sp3d2 are linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and
octahedral geometery respectively. Hydrogen bond is formed between hydrogen
and F, O, N. Intra-molecular H-bonding is within the molecules which is weaker
than inter molecular H-bonding, between the molecules.
a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation
for assertion.
b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct
explanation for assertion.
c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
(iii) Assertion: Though the central atom of both NH3 and H2O molecules are sp3
hybridised, yet H-N-H bond angle is greater than that of H-O-H.
Reason : This is because nitrogen atom has one lone pair and oxygen has
two lone pair electrons.
.
(iv) Assertion: The bond order between two atoms in a molecule may be taken as an
approximate measure of bond length.
Reason: The bond length decreases as bond order increases.
OR
Reason: The energy of the resonance hybrid is less than the energy of any single
canonical structure.

each:

step as shown below :

explanation for assertion.

gases.

real gases.
13. Assertion: It is impossible to determine the exact position and exact momentum of
an electron simultaneously.
Reason: The path of an electron in an atom is clearly defined.
14. Assertion: Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason: The penetration of a 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p
electron hence 2p electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons
than the 2s electron.
OR
Assertion: F atom has less negative electron gain enthalpy than Cl atom.
Reason: Additional electrons are repelled more effectively by 3p-electrons in Cl than
by 2p-electrons in F atom.
