Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: FM radio broadcasts at 900 kHz. The wavelength corresponding to this frequency is:
(a) 333 m
(b) \( 3.03\times10^{-3 \)} m
(c) 330 cm
(d) 3300 m
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 333 m

Explanation:
1. \( \lambda = c/\nu = 3\times10^{8}/(9\times10^{5}) \) m.
2. Wavelength = 333 m.

Teacher's Note:
1. Convert kHz to Hz (1 kHz = 1000 Hz) before dividing.
2. Radio waves have very long wavelengths.

Question 2: The energy of 1 mole of radio-wave photons of frequency 909 kHz is:
(a) \( 6.02\times10^{-28 \)} J
(b) \( 3.62\times10^{-4 \)} J
(c) \( 1.00\times10^{-4 \)} J
(d) \( 6.02\times10^{-3 \)} J
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 3.62\times10^{-4 \)} J

Explanation:
1. Energy of one photon = hν = 6.626 x 10-34 x 9.09 x 105 = 6.02 x 10-28 J.
2. For 1 mole: 6.02 x 10-28 x 6.022 x 1023 = \( 3.62\times10^{-4 \)} J.

Teacher's Note:
1. The first option is the energy of one photon, not one mole.
2. Multiply by Avogadro's number for a mole of photons.

Question 3: The wavelength of a neutron having translational kinetic energy equal to kT at 300 K is nearly:
(a) 178 pm
(b) 200 pm
(c) 17.8 pm
(d) 20.0 pm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 178 pm

Explanation:
1. KE = kT = 1.38 x 10-23 x 300 = 4.14 x 10-21 J.
2. \( \lambda = h/\sqrt{2m\,KE \)} with m = 1.675 x 10-27 kg gives 1.78 x 10-10 m.
3. Wavelength = 178 pm.

Teacher's Note:
1. Use the de Broglie relation with momentum written in terms of kinetic energy.
2. 1 pm = 10-12 m.

Question 4: The kinetic energy of an electron in the second Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is (a0 is the Bohr radius):
(a) \( \dfrac{h^2}{4\pi m a_0^2 \)}
(b) \( \dfrac{h^2}{16\pi^2 m a_0^2 \)}
(c) \( \dfrac{h^2}{32\pi^2 m a_0^2 \)}
(d) \( \dfrac{h^2}{64\pi^2 m a_0^2 \)}
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \dfrac{h^2}{32\pi^2 m a_0^2 \)}

Explanation:
1. For orbit n, r = n2a0 (Z = 1), so r = 4a0 for n = 2.
2. Bohr quantisation: mvr = nh/2π, so v = 2h/(2π m x 4a0) = h/(4π m a0).
3. KE = (1/2)mv2 = \( h^2/(32\pi^2 m a_0^2) \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Combine r = n2a0 with mvr = nh/2π to get v.
2. Substitute into (1/2)mv2.

Question 5: The potential energy of an electron in the second Bohr orbit of the \( \ce{He+ \)} ion is:
(a) -54.4 eV
(b) -27.2 eV
(c) -108.8 eV
(d) -13.6 eV
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) -27.2 eV

Explanation:
1. Total energy = -13.6 x Z2/n2 = -13.6 x 4/4 = -13.6 eV.
2. In a Bohr orbit PE = 2 x (total energy) = -27.2 eV.

Teacher's Note:
1. Remember: KE = -E, PE = 2E for the Bohr model.
2. Total energy is the sum of KE and PE.

Question 6: If the radius of the first Bohr orbit is X, the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the third orbit is nearly:
(a) \( 2\pi X \)
(b) \( 6\pi X \)
(c) 9X
(d) X/3
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 6\pi X \)

Explanation:
1. Radius of third orbit = 9X.
2. Wavelength = circumference / n = 2π(9X)/3 = 6πX.

Teacher's Note:
1. An electron orbit holds n complete de Broglie waves.
2. Circumference = n x wavelength.

Question 7: According to Bohr's theory, the angular momentum of an electron in the 5th orbit is:
(a) \( 25\dfrac{h}{\pi \)}
(b) \( 1.0\dfrac{h}{\pi \)}
(c) \( 10\dfrac{h}{\pi \)}
(d) \( 2.5\dfrac{h}{\pi \)}
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 2.5\dfrac{h}{\pi \)}

Explanation:
1. Angular momentum = nh/2π with n = 5.
2. = 5h/2π = 2.5 h/π.

Teacher's Note:
1. Angular momentum in Bohr's model is quantised in units of h/2π.
2. Do not confuse with orbital angular momentum \( \sqrt{l(l+1)}\,h/2\pi \).

Question 8: The number of d electrons retained in \( \ce{Fe^{2+ \)}} (atomic number of Fe = 26) is:
(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d) 6
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 6

Explanation:
1. Fe: [Ar] 3d6 4s2.
2. Fe2+ loses the two 4s electrons, leaving 3d6.
3. Number of d electrons = 6.

Teacher's Note:
1. Transition metals lose 4s electrons first when forming cations.
2. Fe3+ would have 5 d electrons.

Question 9: Which of the following nuclear reactions generates an isotope?
(a) Neutron particle emission
(b) Positron emission
(c) \( \alpha \) particle emission
(d) \( \beta \) particle emission
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Neutron particle emission

Explanation:
1. Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass number.
2. Neutron emission changes only the mass number. Positron emission lowers Z by 1, \( \alpha \) emission lowers Z by 2, \( \beta \) emission raises Z by 1.
3. Isotope is produced by neutron emission.

Teacher's Note:
1. Only a change in A with Z fixed gives an isotope.
2. A beta decay gives an isobar.

Question 10: The wavelength (in nm) associated with a proton (mass 1.67 x 10-27 kg) moving with a velocity of 1.0 x 103 m s-1 is:
(a) 6.032 nm
(b) 0.400 nm
(c) 2.500 nm
(d) 4.00 nm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 0.400 nm

Explanation:
1. \( \lambda = h/mv = 6.626\times10^{-34}/(1.67\times10^{-27}\times10^{3}) \).
2. = 3.97 x 10-10 m = 0.397 nm, i.e. 0.400 nm.

Teacher's Note:
1. Use SI units: kg and m/s.
2. 1 nm = 10-9 m.

Question 11: How many orbitals are possible for n = 3, \( \ell \) = 2?
(a) 1
(b) 3
(c) 5
(d) 7
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 5

Explanation:
1. For a given \( \ell \) the number of orbitals is 2\( \ell \) + 1.
2. For \( \ell \) = 2 this is 5 (the 3d orbitals).

Teacher's Note:
1. m takes values from -\( \ell \) to +\( \ell \).
2. n only fixes the shell; the count depends on \( \ell \).

Question 12: In a hydrogen atom, the energy of the second shell electron is:
(a) \( -5.44\times10^{-19 \)} J
(b) \( -5.44\times10^{-19 \)} kJ
(c) \( -5.44\times10^{-19 \)} cal
(d) \( -5.44\times10^{-19 \)} erg
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( -5.44\times10^{-19 \)} J

Explanation:
1. E2 = -13.6/4 = -3.4 eV.
2. -3.4 x 1.602 x 10-19 = \( -5.44\times10^{-19 \)} J per atom.

Teacher's Note:
1. Energy per atom is of the order of 10-19 J.
2. 1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19 J.

Question 13: A particle of mass 0.5 g has an uncertainty in position of 2 x 10-5 m. The uncertainty in its velocity (m/s) is about:
(a) \( 3.0\times10^{33 \)}
(b) \( 5\times10^{-27 \)}
(c) \( 4\times10^{-30 \)}
(d) \( 4\times10^{-10 \)}
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 5\times10^{-27 \)}

Explanation:
1. \( \Delta v = h/(4\pi m\,\Delta x) \) with m = 5 x 10-4 kg.
2. = 6.626 x 10-34 / (4π x 5 x 10-4 x 2 x 10-5) = 5 x 10-27 m/s.

Teacher's Note:
1. Convert grams to kilograms first.
2. The uncertainty is negligible for large objects.

Question 14: Which of the following species has a spectrum similar to that of \( \ce{Li+ \)} (i.e. is isoelectronic with it)?
(a) H
(b) \( \ce{Na^{10+ \)}}
(c) He
(d) \( \ce{He+ \)}
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) He

Explanation:
1. \( \ce{Li+ \)} has 3 - 1 = 2 electrons.
2. H has 1, \( \ce{Na^{10+ \)}} has 1, He has 2, \( \ce{He+ \)} has 1 electron.
3. The two-electron species is He.

Teacher's Note:
1. Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons.
2. Count electrons = Z - charge.

Question 15: The radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is 0.53 Angstrom. The radius of the 3rd Bohr orbit is:
(a) 0.70 A
(b) 1.59 A
(c) 3.18 A
(d) 4.77 A
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 4.77 A

Explanation:
1. rn = n2 x 0.53 A for hydrogen.
2. r3 = 9 x 0.53 = 4.77 A.

Teacher's Note:
1. Radius grows as n2.
2. For hydrogen-like ions divide by Z.

Question 16: If n = 3, then the correct value(s) of \( \ell \) is/are:
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) All of the above
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) All of the above

Explanation:
1. \( \ell \) runs from 0 to n - 1.
2. For n = 3 the values are 0, 1 and 2: all of the above.

Teacher's Note:
1. Maximum \( \ell \) is n - 1.
2. These correspond to 3s, 3p and 3d.

Question 17: What is the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of an electron accelerated through 400 volt and through 100 volt?
(a) 1 : 2
(b) 2 : 1
(c) 3 : 10
(d) 10 : 3
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 1 : 2

Explanation:
1. \( \lambda = h/\sqrt{2meV \)}, so \( \lambda \propto 1/\sqrt V \).
2. \( \lambda_{400}:\lambda_{100} = \sqrt{100}:\sqrt{400} = \) 1 : 2.

Teacher's Note:
1. Wavelength falls as the accelerating voltage rises.
2. Take square roots of the voltage ratio.

Question 18: An atom has 2 electrons in K, 8 in L, 8 in M and 2 in N shell. How many electrons have m = 0 and s = +1/2?
(a) 6
(b) 2
(c) 8
(d) 16
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 6

Explanation:
1. Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2.
2. Each s subshell gives one such electron (4 in total: 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s); 2p and 3p each give one with m = 0 and s = +1/2 (2 more).
3. Total = 6.

Teacher's Note:
1. Within a p subshell only one orbital has m = 0.
2. Each orbital holds one electron with s = +1/2.
