Test: Quantum Numbers & Electronic Configuration - Question 2

For a multi-electron atom, set of quantum numbers is given as

2,0,0,1/2 ; 2,0,0,-1/2

Q. Thus, the next higher allowed set of n and / quantum numbers for this atom in its ground state is

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Given a set of quantum numbers, n=2,l=0 for a multi-electron atom refers to 2s orbital. 

The next higher allowed set of 'n' and 'l' quantum numbers for this atom in the ground state is n=2,l=1. This corresponds to 2p orbital.

Note: The orbital with a higher value of the sum (n+l) has higher energy.

For 2s orbital (n+l)=(2+0)=2

For 2p orbital (n+l)=(2+1)=3

The number of radial nodes in 3s and 2p respectively are

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Radial nodes = (n - l - 1)
Angular nodes = l, total nodes = (n - 1), nodal plane = l

Test: Quantum Numbers & Electronic Configuration - Question 6

A hydrogen like species in fourth orbit has radius 1.5 times that of Bohr's orbit. In neutral state, its valence electron is in

Detailed Solution: Question 6



Test: Quantum Numbers & Electronic Configuration - Question 7

Following suborbits with values of n and l are given

Q. Increasing order of energy of these suborbits is

Detailed Solution: Question 7


By Aufbau rule, smaller the value of (n + I), smaller the energy. If (n + I) is same for two or more orbits, suborbit with lower value of n, has smaller energy.

(d) Spin of the electron is derived from spin quantum number: True

Test: Quantum Numbers & Electronic Configuration - Question 12

In the following pair, each has two orbitals I and II. Select the ones in which II experiences larger effective nuclear charge than l

Detailed Solution: Question 12

Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in the orbital of a multi-electron atom. The closer the orbital, the greater is the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons in it.

Since 3p is closer to nucleus than 3d so it will experience greater Z

Hence C

*Multiple options can be correct
