Question 1: The configuration \( 1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^5\,3s^1 \) shows:
(a) excited state of \( \ce{O2-} \)
(b) excited state of neon atom
(c) excited state of fluorine atom
(d) ground state of fluorine atom
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) excited state of neon atom

Explanation:
1. Count the electrons: 2 + 2 + 5 + 1 = 10, so the species has atomic number 10 if neutral, i.e. neon.
2. The ground state of neon is \( 1s^22s^22p^6 \); here one 2p electron has moved to 3s.
3. So it is an excited state of neon.

Question 5: The wavelength of a 150 g rubber ball moving with a velocity of 50 m s⁻¹ is:
(a) \( 3.43\times10^{-33} \) cm
(b) \( 5.86\times10^{-33} \) cm
(c) \( 7.77\times10^{-33} \) cm
(d) \( 8.83\times10^{-33} \) cm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 8.83\times10^{-33} \) cm

Explanation:
1. \( \lambda=h/mv \) with m = 0.150 kg and v = 50 m/s.
2. \( \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times10^{-34}}{0.150\times50}=8.83\times10^{-35} \) m.
3. Converting, \( 8.83\times10^{-35} \) m = \( 8.83\times10^{-33} \) cm.

Question 6: If \( e=1.60206\times10^{-19} \) C and \( e/m=1.75875\times10^{11} \) C kg⁻¹, then the mass of the electron is:
(a) \( 7.5678\times10^{-31} \) kg
(b) \( 9.1091\times10^{-31} \) kg
(c) \( 11.2531\times10^{-31} \) kg
(d) \( 13.0513\times10^{-31} \) kg
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 9.1091\times10^{-31} \) kg

Explanation:
1. \( m=\dfrac{e}{e/m}=\dfrac{1.60206\times10^{-19}}{1.75875\times10^{11}} \).
2. This equals \( 9.1091\times10^{-31} \) kg.

Question 7: The energy of the electron in the first energy level is \( -21.79\times10^{-12} \) erg per atom. The energy of the electron in the second energy level is:
(a) \( -54.47\times10^{-12} \) erg atom⁻¹
(b) \( -5.447\times10^{-12} \) erg atom⁻¹
(c) \( -0.5447\times10^{-12} \) erg atom⁻¹
(d) \( -0.05447\times10^{-12} \) erg atom⁻¹
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( -5.447\times10^{-12} \) erg atom⁻¹

Explanation:
1. \( E_n\propto 1/n^2 \) for a given atom.
2. \( E_2=E_1/4=-21.79\times10^{-12}/4 \).
3. So \( E_2=-5.447\times10^{-12} \) erg per atom.

Question 8: The deuterium nucleus contains:
(a) 1 proton, 1 electron
(b) 1 proton, 1 neutron
(c) 2 protons, 1 electron
(d) 1 proton, 2 electrons
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 1 proton, 1 neutron

Explanation:
1. Deuterium is the hydrogen isotope of mass number 2 and atomic number 1.
2. So its nucleus has 1 proton and 2 − 1 = 1 neutron. Electrons are outside the nucleus.

Question 10: Bohr's theory is not applicable to:
(a) H
(b) \( \ce{He+} \)
(c) \( \ce{Li^2+} \)
(d) \( \ce{H+} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \ce{H+} \)

Explanation:
1. Bohr's theory applies to one-electron species such as H, \( \ce{He+} \) and \( \ce{Li^2+} \).
2. H⁺ is a bare proton with no electron, so the theory cannot apply.

Question 11: The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is: [K.E. = 13.6 eV; 1 eV = \( 1.602\times10^{-19} \) J]
(a) 33.28 nm
(b) 3.328 nm
(c) 0.3328 nm
(d) 0.0332 nm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.3328 nm

Explanation:
1. \( \lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m\,\mathrm{KE}}} \).
2. KE = 13.6 × 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ J.
3. \( \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times2.18\times10^{-18}}}\approx3.33\times10^{-10} \) m = 0.3328 nm.

Question 13: The velocity of the electron in the second shell of the hydrogen atom is:
(a) \( 10.94\times10^{6} \) m s⁻¹
(b) \( 18.88\times10^{6} \) m s⁻¹
(c) \( 1.888\times10^{6} \) m s⁻¹
(d) \( 1.094\times10^{6} \) m s⁻¹
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 1.094\times10^{6} \) m s⁻¹

Explanation:
1. Bohr velocity: \( v=2.188\times10^6\,\dfrac{Z}{n} \) m/s.
2. For hydrogen Z = 1 and n = 2, so \( v=\dfrac{2.188\times10^6}{2}=1.094\times10^6 \) m/s.

Question 15: Quantum numbers of an atom can be defined on the basis of:
(a) Hund's rule
(b) Pauli's exclusion principle
(c) Aufbau principle
(d) Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Pauli's exclusion principle

Explanation:
1. Pauli's principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of all four quantum numbers.
2. The four quantum numbers are therefore used to specify an electron uniquely.

Question 16: The spectrum of \( \ce{Li^2+} \) is similar to that of:
(a) H
(b) Be
(c) He
(d) Ne
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) H

Explanation:
1. \( \ce{Li^2+} \) has only one electron, so it is a hydrogen-like species.
2. Its spectrum resembles that of hydrogen, with lines scaled by \( Z^2 \).

(a) the effective volume of the orbital
(b) the shape of the orbital
(c) the spatial orientation of the orbital
(d) the energy of the orbital in the absence of a magnetic field
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) the spatial orientation of the orbital

Explanation:
1. The magnetic quantum number m has values from −l to +l.
2. It gives the orientation of the orbital in space; in the absence of a field the orientations have equal energy.

Question 20: The isoelectronic pair is:
(a) \( \ce{Cl2O} \) and \( \ce{ICl2-} \)
(b) \( \ce{ICl2-} \) and \( \ce{ClO2} \)
(c) \( \ce{IF2+} \) and \( \ce{I3-} \)
(d) \( \ce{ClO2-} \) and \( \ce{ClF2+} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \ce{ClO2-} \) and \( \ce{ClF2+} \)

Explanation:
1. \( \ce{ClO2-} \): 17 + 2×8 + 1 = 34 electrons.
2. \( \ce{ClF2+} \): 17 + 2×9 − 1 = 34 electrons.
3. The other pairs have different numbers of electrons, so the pair in (d) is isoelectronic.

Question 21: The most probable radius (in pm) for finding the electron in \( \ce{He+} \) is:
(a) 0.0
(b) 52.9
(c) 26.5
(d) 105.8
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 26.5

Explanation:
1. The most probable radius for the 1s electron is the Bohr radius for the species: \( r=\dfrac{52.9\,n^2}{Z} \) pm.
2. With n = 1 and Z = 2, \( r=52.9/2=26.45 \) pm.

Question 22: The de Broglie wavelength associated with a ball of mass 1 kg having kinetic energy 0.5 J is:
(a) \( 6.626\times10^{-34} \) m
(b) \( 13.20\times10^{-34} \) m
(c) \( 10.38\times10^{-21} \) m
(d) \( 6.626\times10^{-34} \) Å
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( 6.626\times10^{-34} \) m

Explanation:
1. \( \lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m\,\mathrm{KE}}} \).
2. \( \sqrt{2\times1\times0.5}=1 \) kg m/s (so v = 1 m/s).
3. So \( \lambda=6.626\times10^{-34} \) m.

Question 23: The uncertainties in the velocities of two particles, A and B, are 0.05 and 0.02 m s⁻¹ respectively. The mass of B is five times that of the mass of A. What is the ratio of uncertainties \( \Delta x_A/\Delta x_B \) in their positions?
(a) 2
(b) 0.25
(c) 4
(d) 1
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 2

Explanation:
1. Heisenberg: \( \Delta x\cdot m\Delta v=\dfrac{h}{4\pi} \), so \( \Delta x\propto\dfrac{1}{m\,\Delta v} \).
2. \( \dfrac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B}=\dfrac{m_B\Delta v_B}{m_A\Delta v_A}=\dfrac{5\times0.02}{1\times0.05}=2 \).
