(c) CO, \( \ce{NO+} \), \( \ce{CN-} \), \( \ce{C2^2-} \)
(d) NO, \( \ce{CN-} \), N₂, \( \ce{O2-} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) CO, \( \ce{NO+} \), \( \ce{CN-} \), \( \ce{C2^2-} \)
Explanation:
1. Electrons: CO = 14, \( \ce{NO+} \) = 14, \( \ce{CN-} \) = 14, \( \ce{C2^2-} \) = 14.
2. In (a) \( \ce{O2-} \) has 17 electrons, in (b) NO has 15 and in (d) NO has 15 while \( \ce{CN-} \) and N₂ have 14.
3. So only option (c) is isoelectronic.

(d) (iii) < (i) < (iv) < (ii)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) (iv) < (ii) < (iii) < (i)
Explanation:
1. Use the (n + l) rule: (i) 4p = 5, (ii) 4s = 4, (iii) 3d = 5, (iv) 3p = 4.
2. A lower (n + l) means lower energy; when equal, the lower n has lower energy.
3. Order: 3p (4, n=3) < 4s (4, n=4) < 3d (5, n=3) < 4p (5, n=4), i.e. (iv) < (ii) < (iii) < (i).

(a) Lyman series
(b) Balmer series
(c) Paschen series
(d) Brackett series
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Paschen series
Explanation:
1. The series limit corresponds to n₂ = ∞, so \( \bar\nu=R/n_1^2 \) with \( R=109677.6 \) cm⁻¹.
2. \( n_1^2=109677.6/12186.3=9 \), so n₁ = 3.
3. n₁ = 3 is the Paschen series.

(a) Larger the value of n, the larger is the orbit radius.
(b) The equation can be used to calculate the change in energy when the electron changes orbit.
(c) For n = 1, the electron has a more negative energy than it does for n = 6, which means that the electron is more loosely bound in the smallest allowed orbit.
(d) The negative sign in the equation simply means that the energy of the electron bound to the nucleus is lower than it would be if the electrons were at an infinite distance from the nucleus.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) For n = 1, the electron has a more negative energy than it does for n = 6, which means that the electron is more loosely bound in the smallest allowed orbit.
Explanation:
1. Radius grows as n², so (a) is correct, and the energy difference between orbits can be calculated, so (b) is correct.
2. (d) correctly explains the negative sign relative to the zero of energy at infinite separation.
3. A more negative energy at n = 1 means the electron is more tightly bound, not more loosely bound, so (c) is incorrect.

(a) \( M_2=2M_1 \)
(b) \( M_1<10(m_p+m_n) \)
(c) \( M_2>2M_1 \)
(d) \( M_1=M_2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( M_1<10(m_p+m_n) \)
Explanation:
1. Ne-20 has 10 protons and 10 neutrons, so the free nucleons would have mass \( 10(m_p+m_n) \).
2. When nucleons combine, energy is released as binding energy and the nucleus has a smaller mass (mass defect), so \( M_1<10(m_p+m_n) \).
3. Ca-40 has a larger binding energy per nucleon than Ne-20, so \( M_2 \) is slightly less than \( 2M_1 \); options (a), (c) and (d) are false.

(a) n = 4 to n = 3
(b) n = 3 to n = 2
(c) n = 4 to n = 2
(d) n = 2 to n = 1
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) n = 2 to n = 1
Explanation:
1. For \( \ce{He+} \) (Z = 2): \( \dfrac1\lambda=4R\left(\dfrac14-\dfrac1{16}\right)=\dfrac{3R}{4} \).
2. For hydrogen: \( \dfrac1\lambda=R\left(\dfrac1{n_1^2}-\dfrac1{n_2^2}\right)=\dfrac{3R}{4} \) is satisfied by n₁ = 1 and n₂ = 2.
3. So the transition is n = 2 to n = 1.

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) 5 → 2
Explanation:
1. The lines in the visible region form the Balmer series, which ends at n = 2.
2. From the red end the lines are 3→2 (first), 4→2 (second) and 5→2 (third).
3. So the third line is 5 → 2.

Assertion (A): An atom is electrically neutral.
Reason (R): Atom contains equal number of protons and neutrons.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) A is true, but R is false.
Explanation:
1. An atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, so it is neutral and the assertion is true.
2. The number of neutrons is not necessarily equal to the number of protons (for example, in \( {}^{23}_{11}\text{Na} \) there are 11 protons and 12 neutrons), so the reason is false.

Assertion (A): The sum of protons and neutrons is always the same in isobars.
Reason (R): Isobars are atoms of different elements having same mass number but different atomic number.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
1. Isobars have the same mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons, so the assertion is true.
2. The reason gives exactly that definition, so it explains the assertion.

Assertion (A): All photons possess the same amount of energy.
Reason (R): Energy of a photon does not depend on the wavelength of light used.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) A is false, but R is true.
Explanation:
1. The energy of a photon is \( E=h\nu=hc/\lambda \), so it depends on frequency and wavelength.
2. Photons of different wavelengths have different energies, so both statements are false.

Assertion (A): For the Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum, the value of \( n_1=2 \) and \( n_2=3,4,5 \).
Reason (R): The value of \( n_2 \) for a line in the Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum having the highest wavelength is 4 and 6.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) A is true, but R is false.
Explanation:
1. In the Balmer series the electron falls to n₁ = 2 from n₂ = 3, 4, 5, ..., so the assertion is true.
2. The longest wavelength means the smallest energy gap, which is the jump from n₂ = 3 to 2, not from 4 or 6, so the reason is false.

Assertion (A): Nuclear binding energy per nucleon is in the order \( {}^{9}_{4}\text{Be}>{}^{7}_{3}\text{Li}>{}^{4}_{2}\text{He} \).
Reason (R): Binding energy per nucleon increases linearly with the difference in number of neutrons and protons.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) A is false, but R is true.
Explanation:
1. Helium-4 is very stable with a binding energy per nucleon of about 7.07 MeV, higher than Li-7 (5.6 MeV) and Be-9 (6.5 MeV). The correct order is He-4 > Li-7 > Be-9, so the assertion is false.
2. Binding energy per nucleon does not increase linearly with the neutron-proton difference, so the reason is false.

(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) A is false, but R is true.
Explanation:
1. The 2pₓ and 2p_y orbitals are degenerate, having the same energy.
2. Moving between them involves no energy change, so no light is emitted and no spectral line is seen. Both statements are false.

Assertion (A): An orbital designated by n = 3, l = 1 has a dumb-bell shape.
Reason (R): It belongs to the p-subshell.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
1. l = 1 denotes a p orbital, and p orbitals are dumb-bell shaped, so the assertion is true.
2. The orbital belongs to the 3p subshell, so the reason is true, and the subshell tells us the shape, so it explains the assertion.

Assertion (A): Angular momentum of an electron in any orbit is given by \( \dfrac{nh}{2\pi} \), where n is the principal quantum number.
Reason (R): The principal quantum number n can have any integral value.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
1. In Bohr's model the angular momentum of the electron in the nth orbit is \( mvr=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi} \), so the assertion is true.
2. The principal quantum number can indeed take any positive integer value, so the reason is true.
3. The permitted values of n do not explain why angular momentum has this form, so it is not the explanation.

Assertion (A): Spin quantum number can have two values, \( +\tfrac12 \) and \( -\tfrac12 \).
Reason (R): + and − signs signify the positive and negative wave functions.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) A is true, but R is false.
Explanation:
1. The electron spin quantum number has two values, +1/2 and −1/2, so the assertion is true.
2. The signs signify the two opposite orientations of the spin angular momentum, not the sign of a wave function, so the reason is false.

Assertion (A): It is impossible to determine the exact position and momentum of an electron simultaneously.
Reason (R): The path of an electron in an atom is clearly defined.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) A is true, but R is false.
Explanation:
1. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle forbids simultaneous exact determination of position and momentum, so the assertion is true.
2. Because of this uncertainty the electron has no definite path, so the reason is false.

Assertion (A): The radius of the first orbit of hydrogen atom is 0.529 Å.
Reason (R): Radius of each circular orbit \( r_n=0.529\,\text{Å}\,(n^2/Z) \), where n = 1, 2, 3 and Z = atomic number.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
1. For n = 1 and Z = 1 the formula gives \( r_1=0.529 \) Å, so the assertion is true.
2. The formula is correct and the first Bohr radius follows from it, so the reason explains the assertion.
