Q71
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}

Q72
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.

Q73
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.

Q74

A. n=3,l=0, m=0\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=0, \mathrm{~m}=0 B. n=4,l=0, m=0\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{l}=0, \mathrm{~m}=0 C. n=3,l=1, m=0\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=1, \mathrm{~m}=0 D. n=3,l=2, m=1\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=2, \mathrm{~m}=1 The correct option for the order is :
A B>D>C>A\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{A}
B A>C>B>D\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{D}
C D>B>A>C\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{C}
D D>B>C>A\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{A}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

(A) n = 3; l = 0; m = 0 ; 3s orbital (B) n = 4; l = 0; m = 0 ; 4s orbital (C) n = 3; l = 1; m = 0 ; 3p orbital (D) n = 3; l = 2; m = 0 ; 3d orbital As per Hund’s ruleo of energy is given by (n + l) value.

If value of (n + l) remains same then energy is given by n only.

Q75
The ionization enthalpy of hydrogen atom is 1.312 × 106 J mol−1. The energy required to excite the electron in the atom from n = 1 to n = 2 is
A 8.51 × 105 J mol−1
B 6.56 × 105 J mol−1
C 7.56 × 105 J mol−1
D 9.84 × 105 J mol−1
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Note : 1 eV/atom = 96.485 ×\times 103 J/mol \therefore 13.6 eV/atom = 13.6×\times 96.485 ×\times 103 J/mol = 1.312 × 106 J mol−1 Energy required to excite the electron from n1 to n2 is

ΔE=13.6×Z2(1n121n22)\Delta E = 13.6 \times {Z^2}\left( {{1 \over {n_1^2}} - {1 \over {n_2^2}}} \right)

= 1.312 × 106 × 1

(112122)\left( {{1 \over {{1^2}}} - {1 \over {{2^2}}}} \right)

= 1.312 ×

34{3 \over 4}

× 106 = 9.84 × 105 J mol−1

Q76
Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : A spectral line will be observed for a 2px2py2 p_x \rightarrow 2 p_y transition. Statement (II) : 2px2 \mathrm{p}_x and 2py2 \mathrm{p}_y are degenerate orbitals. 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 false
C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
D Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Let us analyze the two statements in the context of atomic orbitals and electronic transitions: Statement (I) “A spectral line will be observed for a 2px2py 2 p_x \rightarrow 2 p_y transition.”

For an emission (or absorption) line to be observed, there must be a difference in energy between the initial and final states.

In a typical hydrogen-like or many-electron atom (without additional external fields or splitting effects), the three 2p2p orbitals (2px2 p_x, 2py2 p_y, 2pz2 p_z) are degenerate—i.e., they all have the same energy.

Consequently, a transition from 2px2 p_x to 2py2 p_y (both having the same energy) would involve no energy change.

Hence, no photon is emitted or absorbed for this “transition.”

So you would not observe a spectral line for such a transition.

Therefore, Statement (I) is false.

Statement (II) “2px2 p_x and 2py2 p_y are degenerate orbitals.”

Orbitals within the same subshell (e.g., 2p2p subshell) are typically degenerate (same energy) in an isolated atom (especially a hydrogen-like atom).

Thus, 2px2 p_x and 2py2 p_y (and 2pz2 p_z) do indeed have the same energy.

Therefore, Statement (II) is true.

Conclusion Statement (I): False Statement (II): True Hence, the correct choice is: Option A: Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Q77
The highest value of the calculated spin only magnetic moment (in BM) among all the transition metal complexes is :
A 5.92
B 6.93
C 3.87
D 4.90
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

In transition metal contains d orbital, and in d orbital maximum no of unpaired electron possible = 5.

Spin only magnetic moment,

μspin=n(n+2){\mu _{spin}} = \sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)}

B. M here n == Number of unpaired electrons. \therefore

μspin=5(5+2){\mu _{spin}} = \sqrt {5\left( {5 + 2} \right)}

B. M == 5.92 B. M

Q78
The de Broglie wavelength of a tennis ball of mass 60 g moving with a velocity of 10 meters per second is approximately
A 10-31 meters
B 10-16 meters
C 10-25 meters
D 10-33 meters
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

As per de-Broglie wavelength of a particle is Wavelength (λ\lambda) =

hmv{h \over {mv}}

Where h is plank's constant, m is mass of the particle and v is the velocity of the particle

λ\therefore \lambda

=

6.63×10340.06×10{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {0.06 \times 10}}

=

6.63×1034×100.6×10{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 10} \over {0.6 \times 10}}

=

6.63×10336{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 33}}} \over 6}
1033\cong 10{}^{ - 33}
Q79
The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the 4th Bohr orbit is :
A 2π\pi a0
B 6π\pi a0
C 8π\pi a0
D 4π\pi a0
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

According to Bohr’s model

rn=n2Z×a0{r_n} = {{{n^2}} \over Z} \times {a_0}

Also 2π\pi

rn{r_n}

= nλ\lambda \Rightarrow 2π\pi

n2Z×a0{{{n^2}} \over Z} \times {a_0}

= nλ\lambda \Rightarrow λ\lambda =

2π×nZ×a02\pi \times {n \over Z} \times {a_0}

For n = 4 and Z = 1 \Rightarrow λ\lambda = 8π\pi

a0{a_0}
Q80
For emission line of atomic hydrogen from ni = 8 to nf = n, the plot of wave number (v)\left( {\overline v } \right) against (1n2)\left( {{1 \over {{n^2}}}} \right) will be (The Rydberg constant, RH is in wave number unit)
A Linear with intercept -RH
B Non linear
C Linear with slope RH
D Linear with slope -RH
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

We know,

v=1λ=RHZ2[1nf21ni2]\overline v = {1 \over \lambda } = {R_H}{Z^2}\left[ {{1 \over {n_f^2}} - {1 \over {n_i^2}}} \right]

here ni == 8 and nf == n Z == 1 for hydrogen \therefore

v=1λ=RH[1n2182]\overline v = {1 \over \lambda } = {R_H}\left[ {{1 \over {{n^2}}} - {1 \over {{8^2}}}} \right]

So, graph is \to So, graph will be linear with slope RH.
