Q101
Given below are two statements : Statement (I): It is impossible to specify simultaneously with arbitrary precision, both the linear momentum and the position of a particle. Statement (II) : If the uncertainty in the measurement of position and uncertainty in measurement of momentum are equal for an electron, then the uncertainty in the measurement of velocity is hπ×12m\geqslant \sqrt{\dfrac{h}{\pi}} \times \dfrac{1}{2 m}. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A Statement I is false but Statement II is true
B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
C Both Statement I and Statement II are false
D Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Statement I : Correct This statement is describing the uncertainty principle.

It states that it is impossible to measure both the position and the momentum of an object.

Statement II : Correct.

If the uncertainty in the measurement of position (Δx\Delta x) and the uncertainty in the measurement of momentum (Δp\Delta p) are equal for an electron, then the uncertainty in the measurement of velocity (Δv\Delta v) is greater than or equal to hπ12m\sqrt{\dfrac{h}{\pi}}\dfrac{1}{2m} This is derived from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

Δx.Δpxh4π\Delta x\,.\,\Delta {p_x} \ge {h \over {4\pi }}

Given,

Δx=Δp\Delta x = \Delta p

Substitute this in

Δx.Δph4π\Delta x\,.\,\Delta p \ge {h \over {4\pi }}

as

Δp.Δph4π\Delta p\,.\,\Delta p \ge {h \over {4\pi }}
Δp2h4π\Delta {p^2} \ge {h \over {4\pi }}
Δp2h4π\Delta {p^2} \ge {h \over {4\pi }}

So,

mΔvh4πm\Delta v \ge \sqrt {{h \over {4\pi }}}
Δvh4π×1m\Delta v \ge \sqrt {{h \over {4\pi }}} \times {1 \over m}
Δv12>hπ>1m\Delta v \ge {1 \over 2} > \sqrt {{h \over \pi }} > {1 \over m}
Δvhπ12m\Delta v \ge \sqrt {{h \over \pi }} {1 \over {2m}}

Both the statements are true (correct). So answer is (2) Both statement I and statement II are true.

Q105
In a multi-electron atom, which of the following orbitals described by the three quantum members will have the same energy in the absence of magnetic and electric fields? (A) n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 (B) n = 2, l = 0, m = 0 (C) n = 2, l = 1, m = 1 (D) n = 3, l = 2, m = 1 (E) n = 3, l = 2, m = 0
A (D) and (E)
B (C) and (D)
C (B) and (C)
D (A) and (B)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

As here is no electric and magnetic field so ignore m to calculate the energy of orbital.

As here atom is multi-electron so ( n + l ) rule is applicable here.

This rule says those orbitals which have more value of ( n + l ) will have more energy.

In (A), n + l = 1 + 0 = 1 In (B), n + l = 2 + 0 = 2 In (C), n + l = 2 + 1 = 3 In (D), n + l = 3 + 2 = 5 In (E), n + l = 3 + 2 = 5 So (D) and (E) will be of equal energy.

Q106
Compare the energies of following sets of quantum numbers for multielectron system. (A) n=4,1=1\mathrm{n}=4,1=1 (B) n=4,1=2\mathrm{n}=4,1=2 (C) n=3,l=1\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=1 (D) n=3,1=2\mathrm{n}=3,1=2 (E) n=4,1=0\mathrm{n}=4,1=0 Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A (E)>(C)>(A)>(D)>(B) (\mathrm{E})>(\mathrm{C})>(\mathrm{A})>(\mathrm{D})>(\mathrm{B})
B (B)>(A)>(C)>(E)>(D) (\mathrm{B})>(\mathrm{A})>(\mathrm{C})>(\mathrm{E})>(\mathrm{D})
C (C)<(E)<(D)<(A)<(B) (\mathrm{C})<(\mathrm{E})<(\mathrm{D})<(\mathrm{A})<(\mathrm{B})
D (E)<(C)<(D)<(A)<(B) (\mathrm{E})<(\mathrm{C})<(\mathrm{D})<(\mathrm{A})<(\mathrm{B})
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

To compare the energies of electrons in a multielectron system, we must consider both the principal quantum number (

n\mathrm{n}

) and the azimuthal quantum number (

l\mathrm{l}

).

In multielectron atoms, the energy levels are influenced by electron-electron repulsions, which modify the energy ordering compared to the hydrogen atom.

The general rule, called the "n+l" rule or Madelung rule, states that the energy of an electron in a multielectron atom is primarily determined by the sum of the principal quantum number (

n\mathrm{n}

) and the azimuthal quantum number (

l\mathrm{l}

). An orbital with a lower

(n+l)(\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l})

value has lower energy. If two orbitals have the same

(n+l)(\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l})

value, the orbital with the lower

n\mathrm{n}

value has lower energy. Now, let's analyze each set of quantum numbers: (A)

n=4,l=1\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{l}=1
n+l=4+1=5\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l} = 4 + 1 = 5

(B)

n=4,l=2\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{l}=2
n+l=4+2=6\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l} = 4 + 2 = 6

(C)

n=3,l=1\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=1
n+l=3+1=4\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l} = 3 + 1 = 4

(D)

n=3,l=2\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=2
n+l=3+2=5\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l} = 3 + 2 = 5

(E)

n=4,l=0\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{l}=0
n+l=4+0=4\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l} = 4 + 0 = 4

Based on the

n+l\mathrm{n} + \mathrm{l}

values, the order of increasing energy is: (C) = (E) Among (C) and (E), (C) has lower

n\mathrm{n}

value, so it is lower in energy: (C) Among (A) and (D), (D) has lower

n\mathrm{n}

value, so it is lower in energy: Thus, the correct order is: (C) The correct answer is Option C: $$ (\mathrm{C})

Q107

A 594 nm
B 640 nm
C 700 nm
D 494 nm
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Energy required to break one Cl2 molecule =

242×1036.02×1023{{242 \times {{10}^3}} \over {6.02 \times {{10}^{23}}}}

J As E =

hcλ{{hc} \over \lambda }

So

λ=hcE\lambda = {{hc} \over E}

=

6.626×1034×3×108×6.02×1023242×103{{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8} \times 6.02 \times {{10}^{23}}} \over {242 \times {{10}^3}}}

= 494 ×\times 10-9 m = 494 nm

Q108
For electrons in ' 2 s ' and ' 2 p ' orbitals, the orbital angular momentum values, respectively are :
A 0 and 6h2π\sqrt{6} \dfrac{h}{2 \pi}
B 0 and 2h2π\sqrt{2} \dfrac{h}{2 \pi}
C 2h2π\sqrt{2} \dfrac{h}{2 \pi} and 0
D h2π\dfrac{h}{2 \pi} and 2h2π\sqrt{2} \dfrac{h}{2 \pi}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

The orbital angular momentum for electrons in orbitals is given by the formula: Orbital angular momentum=(+1)h2π \text{Orbital angular momentum} = \sqrt{\ell(\ell+1)} \dfrac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi} For the 2s orbital, the quantum number \ell is 0: Orbital angular momentum = 0(0+1)h2π=0\sqrt{0(0+1)} \dfrac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi} = 0 For the 2p orbital, the quantum number \ell is 1: Orbital angular momentum = 1(1+1)h2π=2h2π\sqrt{1(1+1)} \dfrac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi} = \sqrt{2} \dfrac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}

Q109
Which one of the following about an electron occupying the 1s orbital in a hydrogen atom is incorrect ? (The Bohr radius is represented by a0)
A The probability density of finding the electron is maximum at the nucleus.
B The electron can be found at a distance 2a0 from the nucleus
C The total energy of the electron is maximum when it is at a distance a0 from the nucleus.
D The magnitude of potential energy is double that of its kinetic energy on an average.
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Probablity density =

ψ2{\psi ^2}

From the graph you can see probablity density is maximum at the nucleus where r = 0.

\therefore Option A is correct.

(B) For hydrogen atom, electron can be found at a any distance distance from the nucleus.

\therefore Option B is correct.

(C) Distance a0 from the nucleus = First orbital \therefore n = 1 at first orbital As Total energy, En = -13.6 ×\times

Z2n2{{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}

eV \therefore Total energy for hydrogen at n = 1 is, E1 = -13.6 ×\times

1212{{{1^2}} \over {{1^2}}}

eV = -13.6 eV So total energy is minimum at distance a0 from the nucleus.

\therefore Option C is incorrect.

(D) Total energy, En = -13.6 ×\times

Z2n2{{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}

eV Kinetic energy, K.E = 13.6 ×\times

Z2n2{{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}

eV Potential energy, P.E = -27.2 ×\times

Z2n2{{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}

eV \therefore Magnitude of potential energy is double that of its kinetic energy. \therefore Option D is correct.

Q110
Consider the following pairs of electrons (A) (a) n = 3, ll = 1, m1 = 1, ms = + 12{1 \over 2} (b) n = 3, 1 = 2, m1 = 1, ms = + 12{1 \over 2} (B) (a) n = 3, ll = 2, m1 = -2, ms = -12{1 \over 2} (b) n = 3, ll = 2, m1 = -1, ms = -12{1 \over 2} (C) (a) n = 4, ll = 2, m1 = 2, ms = + 12{1 \over 2} (b) n = 3, ll = 2, m1 = 2, ms = + 12{1 \over 2} The pairs of electrons present in degenerate orbitals is/are :
A Only (A)
B Only (B)
C Only (C)
D (B) and (C)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

For degenerate orbitals, only the value of m must be different.

The value of (n + l) must be the same.

Hence, the pair of electrons with quantum numbers given in (B) are degenerate.
