  • Q1

    Write the distribution of electrons in carbon and sodium atoms.

    Ans:

    The distribution of electrons in Carbon and Sodium atom :
    Carbon :          Atomic no. of Carbon = 6
                             no. of protons = 6
                         no. of protons = no. of electrons
                         Distritribution of electron = K L
                                                                    2  4
    Sodium : 
            Atomic no. of Sodium = 11
                              no. of protons = 11
                           no. of protons = no. of electrons
                          Distritribution of electron = K L M
                                                                     2 8 1


    Q2

    If K and L shells of an atom are full, then what would be the total number of electrons in the atom?

    Ans:

    K shell can hold 2 electrons and L shell can hold 8 electrons.When both the shells are full, there will be (8 + 2) 10 electrons in the atom.


Exercise 5

  • Q1

    How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and magnesium?

    Ans:

    Valency of a particle is the quantity of electrons acquired, lost or shared to finish the octet of electrons in the valence shell.
    Valency of chloride: It has electronic design = 2, 8, 7
    In this manner, one electron is acquired to finish its octet thus its valency is 1.
    Valency of sulfur: Its has electronic design = 2, 8, 6
    In this manner, 2 electrons are acquired to finish its octet and henceforth its valency = 2
    Valency of magnesium : It has electronic design = 2, 8, 2
    Accordingly, it can lose two electrons to achieve octet and thus its valency = 2


Exercise 6

Exercise 7

  • Q1

    For the symbol H,D and T tabulate three sub-atomic particles found in each of them.

    Ans:

    H, D, and T are the three isotopes of hydrogen with similar nuclear number and distinctive mass quantities of 1, 2 and 3 separately.
     

    Element Symbol Number of Electrons Number of Protons Number of Neutrons
    Hydrogen H 1 1 0
    Deuterium D 1 1 1
    Tritium T 1 1 2

    Q2

    Write the electronic configuration of any one pair of isotopes and isobars.

    Ans:

    (a) Isotopes: Isotopes are iotas which have similar number of protons however extraordinary number of neutrons. They have same nuclear number yet unique mass number.
    Model: Carbon particle exists as 6C12 and 6C14 however when their electronic configuration is K-2; L-4
    (b) Isobars: Isobars are particles which have a similar mass number however extraordinary nuclear number.
    Model: Electronic configuration of 20Ca40is – K-2; L-8; M-8; N-2 and of 18Ar40 is – K-2; L-8; M-8
