II. Write brief answers to the following questions:

Question 26.
Which quantum number reveals information about the shape, energy, orientation, and size of orbitals?
Answer:
Magnetic quantum numbers reveal information about the shape, energy, orientation, and size of orbitals.

Question 27.
How many orbitals are possible for n = 4?
Answer:
When n = 0, l = 0, 1,2 and 3. Hence, there are four subshells namely, s, p, d and f
l = 0, m1 = 0; one 4s orbital, l = 1, m = -1, 0, +1; three 4p orbitals,
l = 2, m1 = – 2, -1, 0, +1, +2; five 4d orbitals and
l = 3, m1 = – 3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3; seven 4f orbitals. Hence, the number of possible orbitals when n = 4 are sixteen.

Question 28.
How many radial nodes for 25, 4p, 5d and 4f orbitals exhibit? How many angular nodes?
Answer:
The number of radial nodes is equal to (n – l – 1) and angular nodes is l.

Orbital N l Radial node (n – l – 1) Angular node, l
2s 2 0 1 0
4p 4 1 2 1
5d 5 2 2 2
4f 4 3 0 3

The number of radial nodes for 2s, 4p, 5d, and 4f orbitals are respectively 1,2,2 and 0 and the number of angular nodes for 2s, 4p, 5d, and 4f orbitals respectively are 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Question 29.
The stabilization of a half-filled d – orbital is more pronounced than that of the p-orbital. Why?
Answer:
The exactly half-filled orbitals have greater stability. The reason for their stability are –

  1. symmetry
  2. exchange energy.

(1) Symmetry: The half-filled orbitals are more symmetrical than partially filled orbitals and this symmetry leads to greater stability.

(2) Exchange energy: The electrons with the same spin in the different orbitals of the same sub-shell can exchange their position. Each such exchange releases energy and this is known as exchange energy. Greater the number of exchanges, the greater the exchange energy, and hence greater the stability. In d-orbital, 10 exchanges are possible but in p-orbital 6 exchanges are possible. So, d – orbital with 5 unpaired electrons (10 exchanges)n i.e. half-filled is more stable than p – orbital with 3 unpaired electrons (6 exchanges).

Question 31.
State and explain Paull’s exclusion principle.
Answer:
Pauli’s exclusion principle states that “No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of values of all four quantum numbers”.
Illustration: H(Z = 1) 1s1.
One electron is present in hydrogen atom, the four quantum numbers are n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 and s = + \(\frac {1}{2}\). For helium Z = 2. He: 1s2. In this one electron has the quantum number same as that of hydrogen, n = 1,l = 0, m = 0 and s = +½ For other electron, fourth quantum number is different, i.e. n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 and s = – ½.

Question 32.
Define orbital. What are ‘n’ and ‘l’ values for 3px and 4d x2 – y2 electron?
Answer:
Orbital is a three-dimensional space in which the probability of finding the electron is maximum. The values of ‘n’ and ‘l’ for 3px orbital are n = 3 and l = 1, 4d x2 – y2 orbital are n = 4 and l = 2.

Question 33.
Explain briefly the time-independent Schrodinger wave equation.
Answer:
Erwin Schrodinger expressed the wave nature of electrons in terms of a differential equation. This equation determines the change of wave function in space depending on the field of force in which the electron moves. The time-independent Schrodinger equation can be expressed as
Hψ = Eψ, where H is called Hamiltonian operator, ψ is the wave function and is a function of position coordinates of the particle and is denoted as ψ(x, y, z), E is the energy of the system.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 2 Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom 4
The above Schrodinger wave equation does not contain time as a variable and is referred to as time-independent Schrodinger wave equation. This equation can be solved only for certain values of E, the total energy, i.e., the energy of the system is quantized. The permitted total energy values are called eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions represent the atomic orbitals.

Question 34.

Question 42.
Show that the circumference of the Bohr orbit for the hydrogen atom is an integral multiple of the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electron revolving around the nucleus.
Answer:
According to the de Broglie concept, the electron that revolves around the nucleus exhibits both particle and wave character. In order for the electron wave to exist in phase, the circumference of the orbit should be an integral multiple of the wavelength of the electron wave, Otherwise, the electron wave is out of phase.
Circumference of the orbit = nλ
2πr = nλ
2πr = \(\frac{n h}{m v}\)
Rearranging,
mvr = \(\frac{n h}{m v}\)
Angular momentum = \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi}\)
The above equation was already predicted by Bohr.
Hence, de Broglie and Bohr’s concepts are in agreement with each other.

Question 43.
Calculate the energy required for the process.
He+(g) → He2+(g) + e
The ionization energy for the H atom in its ground state is — 13.6 eV/atom.
Answer:

En = – 13.6z2/n2
El = – \(\frac{13.6(2)^{2}}{(1)^{2}}\) = -56.4 eV

E = \(\frac{-13.6(2)^{2}}{(\infty)^{2}}\) = 0

Required energy for the given process is,
E – El = 0 – (-56.4) = 56.4 eV.

Question 44.
An ion with mass number 37 possesses unit negative charge. It the ion contains 11.1% more neutrons than electrons. Find the symbol of the ion.
Answer:
Let the number of electrons in an ion = x
number of neutrons = n = x + \(\frac{11.1}{100}\) eV = 1.111 x
(As the number of neutrons is 11.1% more than the number of electrons)
In the neutral of the atom, a number of electrons.
e = x – 1 (as the ion carries -1 charge)
Similarly number of protons = P = x – 1
Number of protons + number of neutrons = mass number = 37
(x – 1) + 1.111 x = 37 .
2.111 x = 37 +1
2.111 x = 38
x = \(\frac{38}{2.111}\) = 18.009 = 18
∴ Number of protons = atomic number – 1 = 18-1 = 17
∴ The symbol of the ion = \(_{17}^{37} \mathrm{Cl}\).

III. Short Question and Answers (3 Marks):

Question 1.
What are the conclusions of Rutherford’s α – rays scattering experiment?
Answer:

  • Rutherford bombarded a thin gold foil with a stream of fast-moving α – particles.
  • It was observed that most of the a-particles passed through the foil.
  • Some of them were deflected through a small angle.
  • Very few α- particles were reflected back by 180°.
  • Based on these observations, he proposed that in an atom, there is a tiny positively charged nucleus and the electrons are moving around the nucleus with high speed.

Question 2.
Write the assumptions of Bohr’s atom model.
Answer:
Bohr’s atom model is based on the following assumptions:
(i) The energies of electrons are quantized.
(ii) The electron is revolving around the nucleus in a certain fixed circular path called stationary orbit.
(iii) Electron can revolve only in those orbitsJn which the angular momentum {mvr) of the electron must be equal to an integral multiple of \(\frac{h}{2 \pi}\)
i,e., mvr = \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi}\), where n = 1, 2, 3, … etc.,
(iv) As long as an electron revolves in the fixed orbit, it does lose its energy. However, when an electron jumps from higher energy state (E2) to a lower energy state (E1), the excess energy is emitted as radiation.
The frequency of the emitted radiation is (E2 – E1) = hυ.

Frequency, υ = \(\frac{\left(E_{2}-E_{1}\right)}{h}\)
Conversely, when suitable energy is supplied to an electron, it will jump from lower energy orbit to a higher energy orbit.

Question 3.

Answer:

  • The wave nature of electrons was experimentally confirmed by Davisson and Germer.
  • They allowed the accelerated beam of electrons to fall on a nickel crystal and recorded the diffraction pattern.
  • The resultant diffraction pattern is similar to the X-ray diffraction pattern.
  • The finding of wave nature of electron leads to the development of various experimental techniques such as electron microscope, low energy electron diffraction, etc.

Question 4.
Show that de Broglie and Bohr’s concepts are in agreement with each other.
Answer:
According to the de Broglie concept, the electron that revolves around the nucleus exhibits both particle and wave character. In order for the electron wave to exist in phase, the circumference of the orbit should be an integral multiple of the wavelength of the electron wave, Otherwise, the electron wave is out of phase.
Circumference of the orbit = nλ
2πr = nλ
2πr = \(\frac{n h}{m v}\)
Rearranging,
mvr = \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi}\)
Angular momentum = \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi}\)
The above equation was already predicted by Bohr. Hence, de Broglie and Bohr’s concepts are in agreement with each other.

Question 5.

(ii) Each l value represents a subshell. l = 0, 1,2, 3 and 4 represents the s, p, d, f and g orbitals respectively.
(iii) The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a given subshell is 2 (2l + 1).

Question 9.
Write notes on spin quantum number.
Answer:
(i) The spin quantum number represents the spin of the electron and is denoted by the letter ‘ms‘.
(ii) The electron in an atom revolves not only around the nucleus but also spins. It is usual to write this as an electron spins about its own axis either in a clockwise direction or in an anti-clockwise direction. The visualization is not true. However, spin is to be understood as representing a property that revealed itself in magnetic fields.
(iii) Corresponding to the clockwise and anti¬clockwise spinning of the electron, a maximum of two values are possible for this quantum number.
(iv) The values of ‘ms‘ is equal to -1/2 and +1/2.

Question 10.
Write the significance of ψ and ψ2.
Answer:
The wave function ψ has no physical meaning and the square of the wave function |ψ|2 is related to the probability of finding the electrons within a given volume of space. |ψ|2 varies with the distance from nucleus (radial distribution of the probability) and the direction from the nucleus (angular distribution of the probability).

Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 2 Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom

Question 11.
Show that the probability of finding the electron is independent of the direction from the nucleus.
Answer:
The variation of the probability of locating the electron on a sphere with nucleus at its centre depends on the azimuthal quamtum number of the orbital in which the electron is present. For 1s orbital, l = 0, and m = 0.
f(θ) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) and g(φ) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}}\)

Therefore, the angular distribution function is equal to \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{\pi}}\) i.e., it is independeent of the angle θ and φ. Hence, the probability of finding the electron is independent of the direction from the nucleus.

Question 14.
What are ground and excited states?
Answer:
The electron in the hydrogen atom occupies the ly orbital that has the lowest energy. This state is called ground state. When this electron gains some energy, it moves to the higher energy orbitals such as 2s, 2p etc., These states are called excited states.

Question 15.
Explain the significance of effective nuclear charge.
Answer:
In a multi-electron atom, in addition to the electrostatic attractive force between the electron and nucleus, there exists a repulsive force among the electrons. These two forces are operating in the opposite direction. This results in the decrease in the nuclear force of attraction on electron.
The net charge experienced by the electron is called effective nuclear charge. The effective nuclear charge depends on the shape of the orbitals and it decreases with increase in azimuthal quantum number l. The order of the effective nuclear charge felt by a electron in an orbital within the given shell is s > p > d > l.

Greater the effective nuclear charge, greater is the stability of the orbital. Hence, within a given energy level, the energy of the orbitals are in the following order s < p < d <f.

Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 2 Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom 16
In this case, in order to minimize the electron- electron repulsion, the sixth electron enters the unoccupied 2py orbital as per Hund’s rule, i.e., it does not get paired with the fifth electron already present in the 2px orbital.

IV. Long Question and Answers:

Question 1.
Derive de Broglie equation.
Answer:
Albert Einstein proposed that light has dual nature. i.e., light photons behave both like a particle and as a wave. Louis de Broglie extended this concept and proposed that all forms of matter showed dual character. To quantify this relation, he derived an equation for the wave length of a matter wave. He combined the following two equations of energy of which one represents wave character (hυ) and the other represents the particle nature (mc2).
Planck’s quantum hypothesis is
E = hυ ………..(1)
Einstein’s mass-energy relationship,
E = mc2
From (1) and (2), hυ = mc2
\(\frac{h c}{\lambda}\) = mc2
λ = \(\frac{h}{m c}\)
Equation (3) represents the wavelength of photons whose momentum is given by mc. For a particle of matter with mass ‘m’ and moving with a velocity ‘v’, the equation (3) can be written as
λ = \(\frac{h}{m v}\) …………..(4)

The equation (4) is called de Broglie equation for matter waves and this is valid only when the particle travels at speeds much less than the speed of light. This equation implies that a moving particle can be considered as a wave and a wave can exhibit the properties of a particle.

For a particle with high linear momentum the wavelength will be so small and cannot be observed. For a microscopic particle such as an electron, the mass is of the order of 10-31 kg, hence the wavelength is much larger than the size of atom and it becomes significant.

Question 2.
Write the main features of the quantum mechanical model of atom.
Answer:
(i) The energy of electrons in atoms is quantized.
(ii) The existence of quantized electronic energy levels is a direct result of the wave-like properties of electrons.
(iii) According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the exact position and momentum of an electron cannot be determined with absolute accuracy. As a consequence, quantum mechanics introduced the concept of orbital. Orbital is a three dimensional space in which the probability of finding the electron is maximum.
(iv) The solution of Schrodinger wave equation for the allowed energies of an atom gives the wave function, ψ, which represents an atomic orbital. The wave nature of electron present in an orbital can be well defined by the wave function ψ.
(v) The wave function, ψ, itself has no physical meaning. However, the probability of finding the electron in a small volume dxdydz around a point (x, y, z) is proportional to |ψ(x, y, z)|2 dxdydz. |ψ(x, y, z)|2 is known as probability density and is always positive.

Question 3.
Describe the radial distribution function of 1s and 2s orbitals of hydrogen atom.
Answer:
Consider a single electron of hydrogen atom in the ground state for which the quantum numbers are n = 1 and l = 0. i.e., it occupies l.y orbital. The plot R(r)2 versus r for is orbital given in figure.

The graph shows that as the distance between the electron and the nucleus decreases, the probability of finding the electron increases. At r = 0, the quantity R(r)2 is maximum. The maximum value for |ψ|2 is at the nucleus. However, probability of finding the electron in a given spherical shell around the nucleus is important. Let us consider the volume (dV) bounded by two spheres of radii r and r + dr.

The above plot shows that the maximum probability occurs at distance of 0.52 Å. from the nucleus. This is equal to the Bohr radius. It indicates that the maximum probability of finding the electron around the nucleus is at this distance. However, there is a probability to find the electron at other distances also. The radial distribution function of 2s, orbital of the hydrogen atom represented as follows.

Question 4.
Sketch and explain the shapes of d-orbitals.
Answer:
For ‘d’ orbital l = 2 and the corresponding ‘m’ values are -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. The shape of the ‘d’ orbital looks like a ‘clover leaf’. The five m values give rise to five d orbitals namely dxy, dyz, dzx, dx2 – y2, and dz2. The 3d orbitals contain two nodal planes as shown in figure.
