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.

    The formula to calculate the energy is minus 13.6 multiply by z2 divided by n2.Here in second excited state n is equal to 3 and z for hydrogen is 1. So -13.6/9 = -1.51 ev

     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.

    • 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.

    Which model describes that there is no change in the energy of electrons as long as they keep revolving in the same energy level and atoms remains stable?

      Rutherford Model
    • b)
      Bohr’s Model
    • c)
      J.J Thomson Model
    • d)
      None of the above
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Suresh Reddy answered
    Bohr Model of atom:
    • An atom is made up of three particles: Electrons, neutrons and protons.
    • The protons and neutrons are located in a small nucleus at the centre of the atom.
    • The electrons revolve rapidly around the nucleus at the centre of the atom.
    • There is a limit to the number of electrons that each energy level can hold.
    • Each energy level is associated with a fixed amount of energy.
    • There is no change in the energy of electrons as long as they keep revolving in the same energy level.
    Bohr explained the stability through the concept of revolution of electrons in different energy levels.
    The change in the energy of an electron occurs when it jumps from lower to higher energy levels. When it gains energy, it excites from lower to higher and vice versa.
    Thus energy is not lost and the atom remains stable.

    The nature of positive rays depends on?
    • a)
        The nature of discharge tube.
    • b)
        The nature of residual gas
    • c)
        All of above.
    • d)
        The nature of electrode
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    The positive charges in these rays, other than negative cathode rays (which are electrons), depend on the gas that is used because they are cations - atoms with mostly one electron missing and thus one positive charge. So, if you accelerate, argon cations and protons over the same electric potential, the particles in the rays will have the same kinetic energy, but the argon ions will be much slower, as they are much heavier than the protons.

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

      4
    • c)
      2
    • d)
      1
    Correct answer is 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    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. 

    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))

    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.

    Zeeman effect is the splitting of spectral line in presence of:
    • a)
      electricity

      magnetic effect
    • c)
      molecule
    • d)
      electric field
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lavanya Menon answered
    The Zeeman effect is the splitting of the spectral lines of an atom in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The effect is due to the distortion of the electron orbitals because of the magnetic field. The (normal) Zeeman effect can be understood classically, as Lorentz predicted.
