Tritium (3H) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. The nucleus decays (by emitting an electron and an antineutrino), changing from a triton (one proton and two neutrons) to a 3He nucleus (two protons and one neutron).

Postulates of Thomson’s atomic model
  • An atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons filled into it. The negative and positive charge present inside an atom are equal and as a whole, an atom is electrically neutral.
  • Thomson’s model of the atom was compared to plum pudding and watermelon. He compared the red edible part of the watermelon to positively charged sphere whereas the seeds of watermelon to negatively charged particles.

Radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma raysare all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves have the longest wavelength, and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.

Energy change associated per mole of atoms with an atomic transition giving rise to radiations of  What is the value of x?
    Correct answer is '4'. Can you explain this answer?

    Naina Sharma answered
    Energy = n.hv
    where,
    n = 1 mole or 6.023 × 1023 atoms
    h = 6.626×10-34 J.sec
    v (frequancy) = 1 Hz
    ⇒ E = 6.023 ×1023 × 6.626×10-34 × 1 = 3.91 × 10-10
    so approximately value of x = 4.

      0.0400
    • c)
      25.0
    • d)
      12.0
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Krishna Iyer answered
     
    The speed of all form of electromagnetic wave is related by the equation c = λ.v, whereby, λ = 3.0 x 108 / 1.2 x 1013 = 2.5 x 10 -5 m.

    An cation A3+ has 18 electrons. Write the atomic number of A.
    • a)
      15
    • b)
      24
    • c)
      12
    • d)
      21
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lavanya Menon answered
    3+ charge means no of electrons will be 3 less than no. of protons. So no. of protons will be 21. So atomic no. is 21.

    Direction (Q. Nos. 9-11) This section contains 3 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONE or  MORE THANT ONE  is correct.
    Q. Select the correct statement(s).
    • a)
      Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields
    • b)
      Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation
    • c)
      The electromagnetic spectrum of sunlight received at the Earth's surface differs from that emitted by the Sun
    • d)
      Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in the stratosphere by ozone and oxygen
    Correct answer is option 'A,B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Geetika Shah answered
    Option A: Oscillations travel through space at a velocity of light, thus electromagnetic radiation is in the form of energy E = hv.
    Option B: Radiowaves, microwaves, X-rays, and visible light are part of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum.
    Option C: Some of the radiations are absorbed in the atmosphere, hence the spectrum differs.
    Option D: Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation.
    Hence, options A, B, C, and D are correct.

     In the absorption spectrum, the wavelengths which are absorbed, are missing and they appear as:
    • a)
      Bright lines
    • b)
      Light bands
    • c)
      Bright bands
    • d)
      Dark lines
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Riya Banerjee answered
    Light not absorbed by the sample will, as before, be separated (dispersed) into its component wavelengths (colors) by the prism. The appearance of the spectrum will resemble that obtained without the sample in place, with the exception that those wavelengths which have been absorbed are missing, and will appear as dark lines within the spectrum of colors. If a piece of the photographic film is used instead of the card, the absorption spectrum can be recorded.

    • c)
      Table
    • d)
      Tennis ball
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Geetika Shah answered
    This is accordance with the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.It states that it is not possible to accurately determine the position and momentum of a microscopic particle such as electron simultaneously.

    The energy associated with the transition of an electron from the n=1 state to the n=3 state of H atoms is:
    • a)
      +1.74 x 10-17 Joules.
    • b)
      -1.94 x 10-18 Joules.
    • c)
      +1.94 x 10-18 Joules.
    • d)
      -1.74 x 10-17 Joules.
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lavanya Menon answered
    The formula to calculate the excitation energy is 13.6Z2(1/n12-1/n22), but this gives value in eV. To convert it in Joules we divide it by 6.24×1018 Here, Z=1,n1=1,n2=3 Putting these values in above formula we have, [13.6×1(1-1/9)]/6.24×1018 =(13.6×8×10-18)/(9×6.24) =1.94×10-18 Hence, the correct answer is C.

    Daltons atomic theory could not explain one of the following

      Law of constant composition
    • d)
      Discovery of sub-atomic particles
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Om Desai answered
    Dalton’s atomic theory stated that atoms were indivisible. However, the discovery of subatomic particles (such as protons, electrons, and neutrons) disproved this postulate.

    For Balmer series,the initial state n1 is :
    • a)
      4
    • b)
      2
    • c)
      3
    • d)
      1
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pooja Shah answered
    The Balmer series just sets n1 = 2, which means the value of the principal quantum number (n) is two for the transitions being considered. Balmer’s formula can therefore be written:
    1/λ = RH ((1/22) − (1 / n22))

    The number of radial nodes for 3p orbital is __________.

    Amrita Kumar answered
    Number of radial nodes = n-1 – 1
    For 3p orbital, n = 3 – 1 – 1 = 1
    Number of radial nodes = 3 – 1 – 1 = 1. 

    Isobars are the atoms with

      same atomic number but different number of neutrons
    • b)
      same mass number but different atomic number
    • c)
      same atomic number but different mass number
    • d)

    Nandini Patel answered
    Isobars are atoms (nuclides) of different chemical elements that have the same number of nucleons. Correspondingly, isobars differ in atomic number (or number of protons) but have the same mass number.

    • a)
      The nature of discharge tube.
    • b)
      The nature of residual gas.
    • c)
      The nature of electrode.

    • The nature of positive rays produced in a vacuum discharge tube depends upon the nature of the gas-filled.
    • The positive rays consist of positive ions obtained by removing one or more electrons from gas molecules.

    Arjun Gupta answered
    1nm= 10^-9m.
    wavelength= 600nm= 600 ×10-9m
    wavelength= h/p.
    wavelength= h/mv
    v= h/ m wavelength
    v=6.625×10^-34/9.1×10^-31×600× 10-9.
    v= 6.625 × 10+4/9.1 ×6.
    v= 6.625× 10+4/9.1×6.
    v= 6.625 ×104/54.6.
    v= 0.12 × 104.
    v= 0.0012 × 10+6 .
