(ii) Calculate the mass and charge of one mole of electrons.Ans: (i) Mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10-28 g
Or
9.1 x 10-28 g contains = 1 electron
Therefore 1g contains = 1/9.1 x 10-28 *1 = 1.098 x 1027 electrons
(ii) We know, one mole of electron = 6.022 x 1023 electron
Mass of one electron = 9.1 × 10–28 g
Or
mass of 6.022 x 1023 electron = 9.1 x 10-28 x 6.022 x 1023 = 5.48 x 10-4 g
Charge on one electron = 1.6 × 10–19 coulomb

Ans: (1)We know λ = 4 × 10–7 m(given)
C = 3 x 108
From the equation E= hv or hc/ λ
Where, h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10–34 Js
c = velocity of light in vacuum = 3 × 108 m/s

Now putting these values in the equation we get
E= (6.62 x 10-34 Js x 3 x 108 m/s) / (242 x 10-9m)
= 0.0821 x 10-17 J/atom

C = 3 x 108 m/s
Also λ = c/v or v = c/ λ Therefore putting the values in the equation, we get
=3 x 108 / 6.8 x 10-7m = 4.41 x 1014 s-1
Hence, work function (W0) of the metal = hν0

Here n1 = 2 , n2 = 4, RH = 109678
Putting these values in the equation we get
Wave number =109678(1/22 - ¼2) = 109678 x 3/16
Also λ = 1/ wave number
Therefore λ = 16 / 109678 x 3 = 486 nm
Q14 How much energy is required to ionise a H atom if the electron occupies n = 5 orbit? Compare your answer with the ionization enthalpy of H atom (energy required to remove the electron from n =1 orbit).
Ans: The expression of energy is given by,
Where,
Z = atomic number of the atom
n = principal quantum number
For ionization from n1 = 5 to ,
Therefore ΔE = E2- E1 = - 21.8 X10-19 (1/n22-1/n12)
= 21.8 X10-19(1/n22-1/n12)
= 21.8 X10-19 (1/52-1/∞)
= 8.72 x 10-20 J
For ionization from 1st orbit, n1= 1,
Therefore ΔE’ = 21.8x10-19(1/12-1/∞)
= 21.8x10-19 J
Now ΔE’/ ΔE = 21.8x10-19 / 8.72x10-20 = 25
Thus the energy required to remove electron from 1st orbit is 25 times than the required to electron from 5th orbit.

\begin{align}E_{5}=\frac{-(2.18\times10^{-18})}{(5)^{2}}=\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{25}\end{align}
E5 = –8.72 × 10–20 J
(ii) Radius of Bohr’s nth orbit for hydrogen atom is given by,
rn = (0.0529 nm) n2
For,
n = 5
r5 = (0.0529 nm) (5)2
r5 = 1.3225 nm
Q17 Calculate the wave number for the longest wavelength transition in the Balmer series of atomic hydrogen.
Ans: According to Balmer formula
ṽ=1/λ = RH[1/n12-1/n22]
For the Balmer series, ni = 2.
Thus, the expression of wavenumber(ṽ) is given by,
Wave number (ṽ) is inversely proportional to wavelength of transition. Hence, for the longest wavelength transition, ṽ has to be the smallest.
For ṽ to be minimum, nf should be minimum. For the Balmer series, a transition from ni = 2 to nf = 3 is allowed. Hence, taking nf = 3,we get:
ṽ= 1.5236 × 106 m–1
Q18 What is the energy in joules, required to shift the electron of the hydrogen atom from the first Bohr orbit to the fifth Bohr orbit and what is the wavelength of the light emitted when the electron returns to the ground state? The ground state electron energy is –2.18 × 10–11 ergs.
Ans: Ground state energy (E1) = – 2.18 × 10–11 ergs (given)
= –2.18 × 10–11 × 10–7 J
= – 2.18 × 10–18 J
Also the energy required to shift the electron from n = 1 to n = 5 is given as ΔE = E5 – E1
The expression for the energy of hydrogen of electron is
En = -2π2me4Z2/n2h2
Where m= mass of electrons
Z=atomic mass of atom
e = charge of electron
h = planck’s constant
Now putting the values in the equation ΔE = E5 – E1 we get
Q19 The electron energy in hydrogen atom is given by En = (–2.18 × 10–18)/n2 J. Calculate the energy required to remove an electron completely from the n = 2 orbit. What is the longest wavelength of light in cm that can be used to cause this transition?
Ans: The expression for the energy of hydrogen of electron is
En = -2π2me4Z2/n2h2
Where m= mass of electrons
Z=atomic mass of atom
e = charge of electron
h = planck’s constant
When n = 1 then En = - (2.18X10-18 ) (GIVEN)
When n = 2 then En= - (2.18X10-18 )/4 = 0.5465X10-18 J
Therefore the energy required for ionization from n = 2 is 5.45 x 10-19 J
Now wavelength of light needed
= E=hv = hc/λ
Or
λ = [{(6.62x10-24)(3x108)} / 5.45] x 10-19 = 3647

m = mass of particle (9.10939 x 10-31)
v = velocity of particle
h = Planck’s constant (6.62 x 10-34)
Substituting the values in the expression of λ:
Hence, the wavelength of the electron moving with a velocity of 2.05 × 107 ms–1 is 3.548 × 10–11 m.
Q21 The mass of an electron is 9.1 × 10–31 kg. If its K.E. is 3.0 × 10–25 J, calculate its wavelength.
Ans: We know , KE = ½ mv2
Or
v = (2KE/M)1/2
Or
v = 811.579 m/s
Now putting the values in the de Broglie’s equation
We get
Hence, the wavelength of the electron is 8.9625 × 10–7 m.

Q34 Calculate the energy required for the process
The ionization energy for the H atom in the ground state is 2.18 ×10–18 J atom–1
Ans: For H like particles,
En = - 2π2mZ2e4 / n2h2
For H atom I.E = E – E1 = 0 – (- 2π2me4 / 12h2) = 2π2me4 / h2
= 2.18x 10-18J /atom (given)
For the given process, energy required = En – E1
= 0 - ( - 2π2me4 / 12h2)
= 4 x 2π2me4 / h2
= 4 x 2.18 x 10-18J
= 8.72 x 10-18 J
Q35 If the diameter of a carbon atom is 0.15 nm, calculate the number of carbon atoms which can be placed side by side in a straight line across length of scale of length 20 cm long.
Ans: Diameter of carbon atom = 0.15nm = 0.15 x 10-9m = 1.5 x 10-10m
Length along which atoms are to be placed = 20cm = 20x10-2m = 2 x 10-1m
Therefore no of carbon atoms which can be placed along the length
= (2 x 10-1m) / (1.5x10-10 )
=1.33x109

Total number of atoms along the length = 2 × 108
Therefore diameter of each atom = 2.4 / (2 × 108)
= 1.2 x 10-8 cm
And radius of the atom = (1.2 x 10-8) / 2
= 0.60 x 10-8cm
= 0.060 x 10-9m
= 0.060nm

Q40 In Rutherford’s experiment, generally the thin foil of heavy atoms, like gold, platinum etc. have been used to be bombarded by the α-particles. If the thin foil of light atoms like aluminium etc. is used, what difference would be observed from the above results?
Ans: In 1911, Rutherford performed alpha rays scattering experiment to demonstrate the structure of atom. Heavy atoms have a heavy nucleus carrying a large amount of positive charge.Hence,some alpha particles are easily deflected back on hitting the nucleus.Also a number of alpha particles are deflected through small angles because of large positive charge on the nucleus.If light atoms are use,their nuclei will be light & moreover,they will have small positive charge on the nucleus.Hence, the number of particles deflected back & those deflecte through some angle will be negligible.

Ans: The general convention of representing an element along with its atomic mass (A) and atomic number (Z) is Atomic number of an element is fixed.However,mass number is not fixed as it depends upon the isotope taken.Hence it is essential to indicate mass number
Q42 An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol.
Ans: Mass number = 81 i.e p + n = 81
Let us suppose number of protons = x and neutrons
= x+31.7Xx /100 = 1.317x
Therefore x + 1.317x = 81
Or
2.317x = 81
Or x = 81/2.317 = 35 T
hus number of protons = 35 ,i.e atomic number = 35
Hence the symbol is 8135 Br
Q43 An ion with mass number 37 possesses one unit of negative charge. If the ion contains 11.1% more neutrons than the electrons, find the symbol of the ion.
Ans: Let the number of electrons in the ion carrying a negative charge be x.
Then,
Number of neutrons present
= x + 11.1% of x
= x + 0.111 x
= 1.111 x
Number of electrons in the neutral atom = (x – 1)
(When an ion carries a negative charge, it carries an extra electron)
∴ Number of protons in the neutral atom = x – 1
Therefore 37 = 1.111x + x -1
Or 2.111 x = 38
Or x = 18
Therefore no of protons = atomic no = x -1 = 18 – 1 = 17
∴The symbol of the ion is
Q44 An ion with mass number 56 contains 3 units of positive charge and 30.4% more neutrons than electrons. Assign the symbol to this ion.
Ans: Let the number of electrons present in ion ,S3+ = x
∴ Number of neutrons in it = x + 30.4% of x = 1.304 x
Since the ion is tripositive,
⇒ Number of electrons in neutral atom = x + 3
∴ Number of protons in neutral atom = x + 3
Now mass number = no of protons + no of neutrons
56 = x + 3 + 1.304x
Or 2.304x = 53
Or x = 23
Therefore no of protons = atomic no = x + 3 = 23 + 3 = 26
∴ The symbol of the ion

a) Frequency , v=c/ λ = 3.8x108 / 616x10-9 = 4.87x1014 s-1
b) Velocity of the radiation = 3x108 m/s
Therefore distance travelled in 30s = 30x3x108 = 9.0x109m
c) E = hv = hc/ λ = (6.626x10-34)(3.0x108) / (616x10-9 ) = 32.27x10-20J
d) No of quanta in 2J of energy = 2/32.27 x 10-28 = 6.2x1018
Q48 In astronomical observations, signals observed from the distant stars are generally weak. If the photon detector receives a total of 3.15 × 10–18 J from the radiations of 600 nm, calculate the number of photons received by the detector.
Ans: Energy of 1 photon = hv= hc/ λ = (6.626x10-34)(3x108) / 600x10-9 = 3.313 x 10-19J
Total energy received = 3.15 x10-8J
Therefore no of photons received = 3.15x10-18 / 3.313x10-19 = 9.51

therefore v1=c/ λ1 = 3x108/589x10-9 = 5.093x1014/sec
λ2 = 589.6nm = 589.6x10-9m
therefore v2 = c/ λ2 = 3x108/589.6x10-9
= 5.088x1014/sec
ΔE=E2-E1 = h(v2-v1)
= (6.626x10-34)(5.093x-5.088)x1014
= 3.31x10-22J

Therefore vo = WO/h = 1.9 x1.602 x10-19 / 6.626x10-34
= 4.59x1014/sec
B) λo =c/vo = 3x108 / 4.59x1014 = 6.54x10-7m
C) K.E of ejected electron = h(v-vo) = hc(1/λ – 1/ λo)
=(6.626x3x10-26) (1/500x10-9 – 1/654x10-9)
=(6.626x3x10-26) / 10-9(154/500x654)
= 9.36x10-20J
k.E = 1mv2/2 = 9.36x10-20J
=9.1x10-31/2 = 9.36x10-20J
Or

v × 10–5 (cm s–1) 2.55 4.35 5.35 Ans: (a) Let us suppose threshold wavelength to be λD nm (= λ0 x 10-9 m), the kinetic energy of the radiation is given as:
h(v-v0)=1/2 mv2
Or
hc(1/λ - 1/λD) = 1/2 mv2
Threshold wavelength (λD)= 540 nm
Substituting this value in equation iii,we get
= h x (3x108)/10-9 [1/400-1/540]

=6.66x10-34Js
Q53 The ejection of the photoelectron from the silver metal in the photoelectric effect experiment can be stopped by applying the voltage of 0.35 V when the radiation 256.7 nm is used. Calculate the work function for silver metal.
Ans: From the principle of conservation of energy, the energy of an incident photon (E) is equal to the sum of the work function (W0) of radiation and its kinetic energy (K.E) i.e.,
Energy of incident radiation(E)= hc/λ = (6.626x10-34)(3x108)/(256.7x 10-9)
= 7.74x10-19 J
Since the potential applied gives the kinetic energy to the radiation ,therefore K.E of the electron = 0.35Ev
Therefore work function = 4.83 – 0.35 = 4.48 eV
Q54 If the photon of the wavelength 150 pm strikes an atom and one of its inner bound electrons is ejected out with a velocity of 1.5 × 107 ms–1, calculate the energy with which it is bound to the nucleus.

= 10.2480 × 10–17 J
= 1.025 × 10–16 J
Energy with which the electron was bound to the nucleus
= 13.25 × 10–16 J – 1.025 × 10–16 J
= 12.225 × 10–16 J
= 12.225 × 10–16 J/1.602 x10-19 eV
= 7.63x103eV

Calculate the value of n if the transition is observed at 1285 nm. Find the region of the spectrum.
Ans: V = c/λ = 3x108/1285x10-9
= 3.29 x 1015(1/32 – 1/n2)
= 1/n2 = 1/9 - 3x108/1285x10-9 x (1 / 3.29 x 1015)
= 0.111- 0.071 = 0.04 or 1/25
Or
n2 = 25,
n= 5
The spectrum lies in the infra-red region.
Q56 Calculate the wavelength for the emission transition if it starts from the orbit having radius 1.3225 nm and ends at 211.6 pm. Name the series to which this transition belongs and the region of the spectrum.
Ans: The radius of the nth orbit of hydrogen-like particles = 0.529n2/Z Å
Now r1 = 1.3225 nm or 1322.5 pm = 52.9n12
And
r2 = 211.6pm = 52.9n22/Z
Therefore r1/r2 = 1322.5 / 211.6 = n12/n22
or n12/n22 = 6.25
or n1/n2 = 2.5
therefore n2 = 2 , n1 = 5.
Thus the transition is from 5th orbit to 2nd orbit. It belongs Balmer series

Ans: From Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle,
Where,
Δx = uncertainty in position of the electron
Δp = uncertainty in momentum of the electron
Δx = 0.002nm = 2x10-12m(given)
Therefore, Substituting the values in the expression of Δp:
Δp = h/4π Δx or
= 2.637 × 10–23 Jsm–1
Δp = 2.637 × 10–23 kgms–1 (1 J = 1 kgms2s–1)
Actual momentum = h/4πx 0.05nm
= 6.626x10-34/4 x3.14 x 5 x10-11
= 1.055 x 10-24 kg m/sec

For n = 4 and l = 2, the orbital occupied is 4d.
For n = 3 and l = 2, the orbital occupied is 3d.
For n = 4 and l = 1, the orbital occupied is 4p.
Hence, the six electrons i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are present in the 4d, 3d, 4p, 3d, 3p, and 4p orbitals respectively.
Therefore, the increasing order of energies is 5(3p) < 2(3d) = 4(3d) < 3(4p) = 6(4p) < 1 (4d).

Q64 Among the following pairs of orbitals which orbital will experience the larger effective nuclear charge?
(i) 2s and 3s,
(ii) 4d and 4f,
(iii) 3d and 3p
Ans: Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in the orbital of a multi-electron atom. The closer the orbital, the greater is the nuclear charge experienced by the electron (s) in it.
(i) 2s is closer to the nucleus than 3s.Hence 2s will experience larger effective nuclear charge.
(ii) 4d will experience greater nuclear charge than 4f since 4d is closer to the nucleus than 4f.
(iii) 3p will experience greater nuclear charge since it is closer to the nucleus than 3f because 3p is closer to nucleus than 3f.

Ans: (a) Phosphorus (P): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3
No of unpaired electron = 3
(b) Silicon (Si): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2
No of unpaired electron = 2 (since p orbital can have maximum 6 electron )
(c) Chromium (Cr): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5
No of unpaired electrons = 6 (since 1 electron is to be added to 4s & 5 electron to be added to 3d orbital.
(d) Iron (Fe): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6
No of unpaired electrons = 4
(e) Krypton (Kr): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6

For a given value of ‘n’, ‘l’ can have values from zero to (n – 1).
∴ l = 0, 1, 2, 3
Thus, four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are s, p, d and f.
(b) Number of orbitals in the nth shell = n2
For n = 4
Number of orbitals = 16
Each orbital has one electron with ms = -1/2
Hence there will be 16 electrons with ms = -1/2
