PYQ
Among the following, the correct statement(s) for electrons in an atom is(are)
aUncertainty principle rules out the existence of definite paths for electrons.
bThe energy of an electron in 2s orbital of an atom is lower than the energy of an electron that is infinitely far away from the nucleus.
cAccording to Bohr’s model, the most negative energy value for an electron is given by n = 1, which corresponds to the most stable orbit.
dAccording to Bohr’s model, the magnitude of velocity of electrons increases with increase in values of n.
✓ Correct answer: a) Uncertainty principle rules out the existence of definite paths for electrons.
ExplanationThus, n=1 will have most negative energy According to Bohr's model, an electron in an atom is located at a definite distance from the nucleus and is revolving with a definite velocity around it.According to Heisenberg's principle, it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and momentum (or velocity) of the electron.Uncertainity principle rules out the existence of definite paths or trajectories of electron and other similar particles.Shell or orbit more near to the nucleus has less energy than far away.As we go farther from nucleus, electrons at higher energy levels have more energy.Option D is incorrect as velocity of an electron varies inversely with 'n', hence, when 'n' increases, velocity decreases.

PYQ
Given below are two statements: Statement-I: The orbitals having same energy are called as degenerate orbitals. Statement-II: In hydrogen atom, 3p and 3d orbitals are not degenerate orbitals. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given
aStatement-I is true but Statement-II is false
bBoth Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
cBoth Statement-I and Statement-II are false
dStatement-I is false but Statement-II is true
✓ Correct answer: a) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
ExplanationStatement I is true: orbitals with same energy are called degenerate.Statement II is false: in hydrogen atom, 3s, 3p, 3d orbitals are degenerate because energy depends only on principal quantum number n, not on l. So, correct answer is: Option A — Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

PYQ

The maximum number of orbitals which can be identified with \(\mathrm{n}=4\) and \({m}_{l}=0\) is _______

a

1

b

2

c

3

d

4

✓ Correct answer: d)

4

Explanation

For n = 4, the possible values of azimuthal quantum number l are 0, 1, 2, and 3. For each value of l, the magnetic quantum number mₗ can have values from −l to +l. Since mₗ = 0 is possible for every value of l, one orbital is obtained from each l value. Therefore, the total number of orbitals corresponding to n = 4 and mₗ = 0 is 4. Hence, the correct answer is Option D (4).

4s- 1 orbital

4p- 1 orbital

4d- 1 orbital

4f- 1 orbital

PYQ

A photon of wavelength 3000 \(\overset{^\circ }{\mathrm{A}}\) strikes a metal surface. The work function of the metal is 2.13 eV. What is the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron?
(h = 6.626 × \({10}^{-34}\) Js)

a

4.0 eV

b

3.0 eV

c

2.0 eV

d

1.0 eV

✓ Correct answer: c)

2.0 eV

Explanation

Using photoelectric equation:

\(\mathrm{KE}=\mathrm{hν}−\mathrm{ϕ}\)

With \(\nu =\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\lambda }\)

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{(6.626\times {10}^{−34})(3\times {10}^{8})}{3000\times {10}^{−10}}\)

= 6.6 × 10–19 J

1eV = 1.6 × 10–19 J

Therefore

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{6.6\times {10}^{–19}}{1.6\times {10}^{–19}}=4.125\mathrm{eV}\)

\(\mathrm{KE}=4.125−2.13=1.99\approx 2.0\text{ eV}\)

Explanation

If n = 3 \(\Rightarrow \overset{¯}{\nu }=R{(1)}^{2}\left[\frac{1}{{2}^{2}}−\frac{1}{{3}^{2}}\right]=\frac{5R}{36}\)
