  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition of n1 to n2, where n1 and n2 are the principal quantum number of the two states. The time period of the electron in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. Then according to Bohr's atomic model, the possible value of n1 and n2 are:

    Solution

    Given:

    \(T_{1}=8 T_{2}\) and \(Z=1\) (for hydrogen)

    We know that the time period for the electron moving in the \(n^{\text {th }}\) orbit is given as,

    \( T_{n}=\frac{4 \epsilon_{\theta}^{2} n^{3} h^{3}}{m Z^{2} e^{4}}\ldots\ldots\)(i)

    Where \(ϵ_o =\) permittivity, \(h =\) Planck's constant, \(m =\) mass of the electron, \(Z =\) atomic number and \(e =\) charge on the electron

    By equation (i), the time period of the electron in the hydrogen atom is given as \((Z =1)\),

    \( T_{n}=\frac{4 \epsilon_{o}^{2} n^{3} h^{3}}{m \times 1^{2} \times e^{4}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow {T}_{{n}} \propto {n}^{3}\quad\ldots\)(ii)

    By equation (ii),

    \(T_{1} \propto n_{1}^{3}\quad\ldots\)(iii)

    \( T_{2} \propto n_{2}^{3}\quad\ldots\)(iv)

    Divide equation (iii) and equation (iv),

    \( \frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}=\frac{n_{1}^{3}}{n_{2}^{3}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{n_{1}^{3}}{n_{2}^{3}}=\frac{8 T_{2}}{T_{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}=\frac{2}{1}\)

    \(\Rightarrow {n}_{1}=2 {n}_{2}\quad\ldots\)(v)

    When \({n}_{2}=2\)

    \(\Rightarrow {n}_{1}=2 \times 2\)

    \(\Rightarrow {n}_{1}=4\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    The size of an atom is of the order of:

    Solution

    The size of an atom is of the order of \(10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\).

    Rutherford’s Model of the Atom:

    He bombarded the beam of alpha particles on a very thin gold foil. While bombarding he observes the number of scattering of particles:

    • Most of the particles passed either undeviated or with a very small deviation.
    • Some deviated by large angles.
    • 1 out of 8000 was deflected by more than 90°.

    The conclusion to this deflection:

    • Most of the space of an atom is empty.
    • At the centre of an atom having a tiny positively charged particle called a nucleus (its size is of approximately \(10^{-15}\) m or 1 fermi).
    • The centre nucleus has all the mass of an atom.
    • The amount of positive charge at the nucleus is equal to the total amount of negative charges on all the electrons of the atom.
    • All the electrons revolve around the nucleus and coulomb force provide the centripetal force.

    According to Rutherford’s model Atom consists of a central core which is called the atomic nucleus. Size of the nucleus is about the order of \(10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\) that is very small. Whereas the size of an atom is of the order of \(10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\).

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Half life of-a radio-active substance is 2 years. The amount of substance left after 6 years is:

    Solution

    Given:

    Half-life = 2 years, total time = 6 years, and let the initial amount of radioactive substance \((N_{0})\)= 1

    Since, half-life is 2 years so 6 years is equal to 3 half-lives.

    We know that the fraction of substance remains after n half-lives,

    \( N^{\prime}=\frac{N_{0}}{2^{n}}\)

    Where \(\mathrm{N}'=\) amount remaining after \(\mathrm{n}\) half-lives and \(\mathrm{N}_{0}=\) initial amount

    So, \( N^{\prime}=\frac{N_{0}}{2^{3}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow N^{\prime}=\frac{N_{0}}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B)

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    The spectrum of an oil flame is an example for ________.

    Solution

    The spectrum of an oil flame is an example for continuous emission spectrum.

    Spectrum: When white light falls on a prism, different wavelengths' waves are deviated in different directions by the prism. The image obtained is coloured images of the slit and this image is called a spectrum. The spectra obtained are classified mainly into two types:

    (i) emission spectra and (ii) absorption spectra.

    (i) Continuous emission spectrum: It consists of unbroken luminous bands of all wavelengths containing all the colours from violet to red. These spectra depend on the temperature of the source only and are independent of the characteristic of the source.

    For example: Incandescent solids, Carbon arc, liquids, electric filament lamps, etc.

    (ii) Continuous absorption spectrum: When a pure green glass plate is placed in the path of white light, it absorbs everything except green and so it gives a continuous absorption spectrum.

    Since the spectrum of an oil flame consists of continuously varying wavelengths in a definite wavelength range, it is an example of a continuous emission spectrum.

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    If there is a H atom, He+ ion and Li+2 ion, then the speed of the electron in the ground state is maximum for:

    Solution

    According to Bohr's atomic model, the speed of the electron in the nth orbit is given as,

    \( v_{n}=2.2 \times 10^{6} \frac{Z}{n} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}\quad\ldots\)(i)

    Where \(\mathrm{Z}=\) atomic number

    For ground-state \(n=1\),

    \(v_{n}=2.2 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{Z}{1} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}\)

    \(\Rightarrow {v}_{{n}} \propto \mathrm{Z}\quad\ldots\)(ii)

    For \(\mathrm{H}\) atom, \(\mathrm{Z}=1\)

    For \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\mathrm{ion}, \mathrm{Z}=2\)

    For \(\mathrm{L i}^{+2}\) ion, \(\mathrm{Z}=3\)

    By equation (ii) we can say that the speed of the electron in the ground state is directly proportional to the atomic number.

    We know that the atomic number of Li+2 is maximum compared to the H atom and He+ ion. So the speed of the electron in the ground state is maximum for Li+2 ion.

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    A radioactive material decays by simultaneous emission of two particles with respective half-lives 1620 and 810 years. The time, in years, after which one-fourth of the material remains is:

    Solution

    Given:

    Two particles with respective half-lives 1620 and 810 years.

    According to the law of Rutherford - Soddy the number of atoms left after n number of Half-life is:

    \(N=N_{0}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n}\). Where \(\mathrm{N}_{0}\) is the original number of atoms. 

    The number of half-lives \(n=\frac{\text { time of deccay }}{\text { effective half } \text { life }}\)

    The relation between effective disintegration constant \(\lambda\) and half life \(T\) is:

    \(\lambda=\frac{\log_{ e}2}{T}\)

    Now, \(\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}=\frac{\log_{ e}2}{T_{1}}+\frac{\log_{ e}2}{T_{2}}\)

    The effective half-life is:

    \(\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{T_{1}}+\frac{1}{T_{2}} \)

    \(=\frac{1}{1620}+\frac{1}{810} \)

    \(=\frac{1+2}{1620} \)

    \(\Rightarrow T=540\)

    Therefore, the number of half-lives is,

    \(n=\frac{\text { time of deccay }}{\text { effective half }\operatorname{life}} \)

    \(n=\frac{t}{540}\)

    \(N=N_{0}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n}\)

    Put the value of \(n\) in above equation:

    \(\frac{N}{N_{0}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{540}} \)

    Now according to the question, 

    \(\frac{N}{N_{0}}=\frac{1}{4}\)

    \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{540}} \)

    On comparing the power of both sides,

    \(2=\frac{t}{540} \)

    \(t=1080\)

    Therefore, the time in years, after which one-fourth of the material remains is 1080 years.

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Calculate the wavelength of radiation emitted when He+ makes a transition from the state n = 4 to the state n = 3.

    Solution

    Given:

    \(n_{1}\) = 3 and \(n_{2}\) = 4

    As we know,

    When an electron jumps from \(n_{2}\) orbit to the \(n_{1}\) orbit \((n_{2}>n_{1})\), the energy of the atom changes from \(En_{2}\) to \(En_{1}\). This extra energy \((En_{2} - En_{1})\) is emitted as a photon of electromagnetic radiation. This corresponding wavelength is given as,

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R Z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right)\).......(i)

    Where, Rydberg constant \((\mathrm{R})=1.0973 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~m}^{-1}\) , \(Z=2\), for \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\)ion

    Put all the given values in (i),

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=4 R\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16}\right)\)

    \(=4 R \times \frac{7}{144}\)

    \(=\frac{7}{36} R\)

    \(\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{36}{7 R}\)

    \(=\frac{36}{7 \times 1.0973 \times 10^{7}}\)

    \(=468 \mathrm{~nm}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The ionization energy of hydrogen atom in excited state is:

    Solution

    The ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in the excited state means the atom is already in the first excited state and n  = 2.

    The energy of the electron in any excited state is given by,

    \( E_{n}=-13.6 \frac{Z^{2}}{n^{2}} \mathrm{e V}\)

    The above equation can be written for the excited state of the hydrogen atom as,

    \( E_{n}=\frac{-13.6}{2^{2}} \mathrm{e V}\)

    \(=-3.4 \mathrm{e V}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    If the empirical formula for the observed wavelengths \((\lambda)\) for hydrogen is \(\frac{1}{ \lambda}=\mathrm{R}\left(\frac{1}{3^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^{2}}\right)\), where '\(\mathrm{n}\)' is integral values higher than 3, then it represents the ________ series.

    Solution

    It represents the Paschen series.

    Hydrogen Spectrum and Spectral series: When a hydrogen atom is excited, it returns to its normal unexcited (or ground state) state by emitting the energy it had absorbed earlier.

    This energy is given out by the atom in the form of radiations of different wavelengths as the electron jumps down from a higher to a lower orbit. The transition from different orbits causes different wavelengths, these constitute spectral series which are characteristic of the atom emitting them. When observed through a spectroscope, these radiations are imaged as sharp and straight vertical lines of a single colour.

    Mainly there are five series and each series is named after it's discovered as Lyman series (n1 = 1), Balmer series (n1​ = 2), Paschen series (n1​ = 3), Bracket series (n1​ = 4), and Pfund series (n1​ = 5).

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    When an electron jumps from the orbit n = 2 to n = 4, then wavelength of the radiations absorbed will be _________ (R is Rydberg’s constant)

    Solution

    Given:

    \(\mathrm{Z}=1 , \mathrm{n}_{1}=2 , \mathrm{n}_{2}=4 \)

    We know that wavelength,

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=Z^{2} R\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right) \)

    \(=R\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right) \)

    \(=R\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{16}\right) \)

    \(\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{16}{3 R}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    A nucleus with \(\mathrm{Z}=92\) emits the following in a sequence \(\alpha, \alpha, \beta^{-}, \beta^{-}, \alpha, \alpha, \alpha, \alpha, \beta^{-}, \beta^{-}, \alpha, \beta^{+}, \beta^{+}, \alpha\). The \(\mathrm{Z}\) of the resulting nucleus is:

    Solution

    Given:

    A nucleons with \(\mathrm{z}=92\)

    Partical emission Sequence \(\rightarrow 2 \alpha, 2 \beta^{-1}, 4 \alpha, 2 \beta^{-1}, \alpha, 2 \beta^{+}, \alpha\)

    Total \(=8 \alpha\) particles, \(4 \beta^{-1}, 2 \beta^{+}\)particles emitted.

    we know that:

    \(1\alpha\) particle decreases \(\mathrm{z}\) by \(2\). 

    \( 1 \beta^{+}\) decay decreases z by \(1\).

    \(1 \beta^{-}\)decay increases \(\mathrm{z}\) by \(1\).

    \( \mathrm{z}_{\text {final }}=92-8 \alpha_{\text {decay }}-2 \beta_{\text {decay }}^{+}+4\) beta \(^{-}_{decay }\) 

    \(=92-16-2+4\) 

    \(\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{final}}=78\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    An electron is moving in an orbit of a hydrogen atom at the 4th energy level. Find the number of spectral lines for a transition from here to the ground state.

    Solution

    Given that transition is from n = 4 to n = 1 (ground state). So transition spectral lines

    \(N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\)

    \(N=\frac{4(4-1)}{2}=6\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

    The Bohr model is applicable to:

    Solution

    Bohr model is applicable to both the Hydrogen atom and the He+ atom.

    Hydrogenic atoms are atoms consisting of a nucleus with positive charge Ze+ and a single electron, where Z is the proton number. For examples are a hydrogen atom, singly ionized helium, doubly ionized lithium, and so forth. Bohr model is applicable to hydrogenic atoms. It cannot be extended even to mere two-electron atoms such as helium.

    Bohr’s model correctly predicts the frequencies of the light emitted by hydrogenic atoms, the model is unable to explain the relative intensities of the frequencies in the spectrum.

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 14
    1 / -0

    Two nuclei have mass numbers in the ratio \(27: 125 .\) What is the ratio of their nuclear radii?

    Solution

    Given:

    Rato of mass numbers \(A_{1}: A_{2}=27: 125\)

    \( \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{27}{125}\)

    Radius of nucleus is \(\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{R}_{0} \mathrm{~A}^{\frac{1 }{ 3}}\)

    So,

    \(\mathrm{R}_{1}=\mathrm{R}_{0} \mathrm{~A}_{1}^{\frac{1 }{ 3}}\)......(i)

    \(\mathrm{R}_{2}=\mathrm{R}_{0} \mathrm{~A}_{2}^{\frac{1 }{ 3}}\).....(ii)

    Dividing (i) and (ii),

    \(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} =\left(\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{ 3}} \)

    \(=\left(\frac{27}{125}\right)^{\frac{1 }{ 3}} \)

    \(=\frac{3}{5}\)

    Thus, Ratio of radii is \(3: 5\).

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 15
    1 / -0

    Which of the following spectral series of hydrogen atom is lying in visible electromagnetic wave?

    Solution

    When an electron in Hydrogen atom transit from higher energy orbit to 2nd orbit. (outer orbit n2 > 2 to the orbit n1 = 2) known as Balmer Series.

    When atoms are excited they emit light of certain wavelengths that correspond to different colors. Due to the electron making transitions between two energy levels in an atom. The light emission can be seen as a series of colored lines, known as atomic spectra.

    The Balmer series: It includes the lines due to transitions from an outer orbit n2 > 2 to the orbit n1 = 2. Four of the Balmer lines lie in the "visible" part of the spectrum. The energy released from this spectrum gives the visible part of the spectrum.

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 16
    1 / -0

    In the Radioactive transformation \(Z \stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} y \stackrel{\beta}{\longrightarrow} X \stackrel{\beta}{\longrightarrow} R\): the nuclei of \(\mathrm{R}\) and \(\mathrm{Z}\) are:

    Solution

    Alpha particle emission reduces the atomic number by \(2 .\) So, Atomic Number of \(\mathrm{Y}=\) Atomic Number of \(\mathrm{Z}-2\)

    Beta emission increases the atomic number by \(1 .\) So, Atomic Number of \(\mathrm{X}\) is that of \(\mathrm{Y}+1\) Similarly, Atomic number of \(\mathrm{R}\) is Atomic Number of \(\mathrm{X}+1\), which is Same as \(\mathrm{Y}+2\) so, \(\mathrm{R}\) has same atomic number as \(\mathrm{Z}\), but different mass numbers. i.e., \(\mathrm{R}\) and \(\mathrm{Z}\) are isotopes.

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 17
    1 / -0

    Which of the following statement(s) are correct for the Bohr model?

    Solution

    Both statements (A) and (B) are correct for the Bohr model.

    The Bohr model is applicable to hydrogenic atoms. It cannot be extended even to mere two-electron atoms such as helium.

    • The analysis of atoms with more than one electron was attempted on the lines of Bohr’s model for hydrogenic atoms but did not meet with any success.
    • The formulation of the Bohr model involves electrical force between the positively charged nucleus and electron. It does not include the electrical forces between electrons which necessarily appear in multi-electron atoms.

    Bohr’s model correctly predicts the frequencies of the light emitted by hydrogenic atoms, the model is unable to explain the relative intensities of the frequencies in the spectrum.

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 18
    1 / -0

    Wavelengths of extreme lines of Paschen series for hydrogen is:

    Solution

    Paschen series: When an electron in a Hydrogen atom transit from higher energy orbit to 3rd orbit. (outer orbit \(n_{2}\) = n > 3 to the orbit \(n_{1}\) = 3) known as Paschen Series.

    So the empirical formula for the observed wavelengths (λ) for hydrogen (Z = 1) is,

    \(R_{\infty}=1.1\)

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right)\).....(i)

    For \(\lambda_{\min },\) \(n_{1}=3\) and \( \mathrm{n}_{2}=\infty\)

    Put above values in (i),

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{\min }}=R_{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{3^{2}}-0\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda_{\min }}=1.1 \times 10^{7}\left(\frac{1}{3^{2}}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\min }=0.818 \mu \mathrm{m}\)

    For \(\lambda_{\max },\)  \(n_{1}=3\) and \( n_{2}=4\)

    Put above values in (i),

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{\max }}=R_{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{3^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda_{\max }}=1.1 \times 10^{7}\left(\frac{1}{3^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\max }=1.89 \mu \mathrm{m}\)

    \(\lambda_{\min }=0.818 \mu \mathrm{m}\) and \(\lambda_{\max }=1.89 \mu \mathrm{m}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 19
    1 / -0

    In the spectrum of hydrogen, the ratio of the longest wavelength in the Lyman series to the longest wavelength in the Balmer series is:

    Solution

    We know that, if an electron jumps from higher energy levels n2 = 2,3,4... to n1 =1 then the line of the spectrum is Lyman series.

    \( \frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left(\frac{1}{1^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right)\)

    For the longest wavelength of the Lyman series:

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{l}}=R\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right)\)

    \(n_{1}=1, n_{2}=2\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda_{l}}=R\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{4}\right)\)

    \(=R  \frac{3}{4}\).....(ii)

    For the longest wavelength of the Balmer series:

    \(n_{1}=2, n_{2}=3\)

    \( \frac{1}{\lambda_{b}}=R\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}}\right)\)

    \(= R\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9}\right)\)

    \(=R \frac{5}{36}\).....(ii)

    From (i) and (ii),

    \( \frac{\lambda_{l}}{\lambda_{b}}=\frac{\frac{5}{36}}{\frac{3}{4}}\)

    \(=\frac{5}{27}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    What is the energy of an electron that is revolving in the second orbit of the hydrogen?

    Solution

    Given:

    The electron is in 2nd orbit so \(n=2\).

    The energy of an electron at \(\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) orbit is given by:

    \( E=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2}} \mathrm{e V}\)

    So, the energy of an electron at the \(2^{\text {nd }}\) orbit will be:

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

    \(=-3.4 e V\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

    When an electron in hydrogen atom is excited, from its 3rd to 4th stationary orbit, the change in angular momentum of electron is:

    Solution

    Given:

    \(n_{1}=3\) and \(n_{2}=4\)

    The magnitude of the electron's angular momentum in 3rd orbit is:

    \( L_{1}=\frac{3 h}{2 \pi}\)

    The magnitude of the electron's angular momentum in 4 th orbit is:

    \( L_{2}=\frac{4 h}{2 \pi}\)

    Change in angular momentum

    \( \Delta L=L_{2}-L_{1}\)

    \(=\frac{h}{2 \pi}(4-3)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{6.64 \times 10^{-34}}{2 \times 3.14}(4-3)\)

    \(=1.05 \times 10^{-34} J/S\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 22
    1 / -0

    Half-life period for a first order reaction is 1244sec. The specific rate constant of the reaction is:

    Solution

    Given:

    \(t_{\frac{1 }{ 2}}=1244 ~\mathrm{sec}.\)

    For a first order reaction, Specific rate constant ' \(\mathrm{k}\) ' is related to half-life \(\left(\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}\right)\) as:

    \(t_{\frac{1 }{ 2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}\)

    \(\Rightarrow k=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1 }{ 2}}}\).....(i)

    Put the given value in (i),

    \(k=\frac{0.693}{1244}\)

    \(=5.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 23
    1 / -0

    Which series of hydrogen spectrum corresponds to ultraviolet region?

    Solution

    Lyman series of hydrogen spectrum corresponds to ultraviolet region.

    The Lyman series: It includes the lines emitted by transitions of the electron from an outer orbit of quantum number n2 > 1 to the 1st orbit of quantum number n1 = 1. All the energy wavelengths in the Lyman series lie in the ultraviolet band.

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 24
    1 / -0

    The nucleus of which of the following atoms whose atomic mass numbers '\(A\)' are given in the options would have the highest binding energy per nucleon?

    Solution

    The binding energy of a particle can be defined as the minimum energy required to remove nucleons (Proton or neutron) to an infinite distance from the nucleus. It can be expressed as:

    \(\Delta \mathrm{E}=\left(\mathrm{Zm}_{\mathrm{p}}+(\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{Z}) \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{n}}-\mathrm{M}\right) \mathrm{c}^{2} \times 931.5 \mathrm{MeV}\)

    This is derived by using Einstein's mass-energy relation and we can consider binding energy per nucleons as an average energy per nucleon needed to separate a nucleus into its individual nucleons.

    According to the graph of binding energy per nucleons vs the atomic mass number of atoms, we can see that,

    Iron (Fe) is most stable element since binding energy needed to remove 1 nucleon is highest for iron and as we increase atomic mass the binding energy needed to remove 1 nucleon decreases because of coloumbic repulsion between protons inside nucleus which makes it less stable. So among the give option \({ }^{100} \mathrm{Mo}\) is most stable. i.e., among all option atom with an atomic mass number of 100 will have the highest binding energy per nucleon.

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 25

    The three stable isotopes of neon: \({ }_{10}^{20} \mathrm{Ne},{ }_{10}^{21} \mathrm{Ne}\) and \({ }_{10}^{22} \mathrm{Ne}\) have respective abundances of \(90.51 \%, 0.27 \%\) and \(9.22 \%\). The atomic masses of the three isotopes are \(19.99 \mathrm{u}, 20.99 \mathrm{u}\) and \(21.99 \mathrm{u}\) respectively. Obtain the average atomic mass of neon.

    Solution

    Given:

    The masses of isotopes of neon are, \(19.99 \mathrm{u}, 20.99 \mathrm{u}\) and \(21.99 \mathrm{u}\). Relative abundance of the isotopes are \(90.51 \%, 0.27 \%\) and \(9.22 \%\).

    Therefore, Average atomic mass of neon is,

    Average atomic mass \(=\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}}\frac{\left(\operatorname{mass}_{(\mathrm{i})}\right)}{\left(\operatorname{ Abundance}_{(\mathrm{i})}\right)}\)

    \(m =\frac{90.51\% \times 19.99+0.27\% \times 20.99+9.22\% \times 21.99}{(90.51\%+0.27\%+9.22\%)}\)

    \(m =\frac{90.51 \times 19.99+0.27 \times 20.99+9.22 \times 21.99}{(90.51+0.27+9.22)}\)

    \(=\frac{18.9 .29+5.67+202.75}{100}\)

    \(=\frac{2017.7}{100}\)

    \(=20.17 u \)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 26
    1 / -0

    Successive emission of an α-particle and two β-particles by an atom of a radioactive element results in the formation of its:

    Solution

    Alpha decay: A nuclear decay process where an unstable nucleus changes to another element by shooting out a particle composed of two protons and two neutrons.

    Beta decay: A type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (fast energetic electron or positron) is emitted from an atomic nucleus, transforming the original nuclide to an isobar of that nuclide.

    \(\alpha\)-decay:

    \(\qquad{ }_{\mathrm{Z}}^{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{X} \quad \rightarrow \quad{ }_{\mathrm{Z}-2}^{\mathrm{A}-4} \mathrm{Y}+\alpha\)

    \(\beta \text {-decay}\):

    \(\qquad{ }_{\mathrm{Z}}^{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{X} \quad \rightarrow \quad{}_{\mathrm{Z}+1}^{\mathrm{~A}} \mathrm{Y}+\beta^{-}\)

    Successive emission of \(1 \alpha\) and \(2 \beta\) particles will eventually cause no change in the atomic number of the daughter nuclei.

    So, the daughter nuclei is an isotope of the present nuclei.

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 27
    1 / -0

    The relation between half-life\((t_{\frac{1}{2}})\) of a radioactive sample and its mean life is:

    Solution

    As we know, the mean life \((\tau)\) of a radio-active delay is equal to the inverse of the wavelength \((\lambda)\).

    \( \tau=\frac{1}{\lambda}\quad\ldots\)(i)

    Now as we know that wavelength \((\lambda)\) is inversely proportional to half-life of radio-active sample.

    \( \lambda \propto \frac{1}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{k}{{t }_{\frac{1}{2}}}\), where \(\mathrm{k}=\) proportionality constant, \(t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\) half-life of radioactive sample.

    And the value of \(\mathrm{k}=\ln 2=0.693\).

    \( \lambda=\frac{0.693}{\frac{\tau}{2}}\quad\ldots\)(ii)

    Now from equation (i) and (ii) we have,

    \( \lambda=\frac{1}{\tau}=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}\)

    On simplifying it we get,

    \(t_{\frac{1}{2}}=0.693 \tau\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 28
    1 / -0

    What is the ratio of the wavelength of photon released when the electron jumps from 5th to 4th orbit of a hydrogen atom and then from 4th to the ground state?

    Solution

    Given:

    \(n_{1}=4\) and \(n_{2}=5\)

    The wavelength of the radiations emitted from the hydrogen atom is given by:

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{1}}=R\left[\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}-\frac{1}{(5)^{2}}\right]\)

    \(= R\left[\frac{1}{16}-\frac{1}{25}\right]=\frac{9 R}{400}\).....(1)

    When electrons jump from \(4^{\text {th }}\) to \(1^{\text {st }}\) orbit, then the wavelength of the radiations emitted from the hydrogen atom is given by:

    \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{2}}=R\left[\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}-\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}\right]\)

    \(= R\left[\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{16}\right]=\frac{15 R}{16}\).....(2)

    Divide equation (1) and (2), we get,

    \(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{400 \times 15 R}{9 R \times 16}\)

    \(=\frac{125}{3}\)

    \(=125 : 3\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 29
    1 / -0

    Calculate the Bohr radius of 3rd orbit of Be3+.

    Solution

    Given:

    \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+} \rightarrow\) The atomic number of beryllium is 4 i.e., \(\mathrm{z}=4\)

    \(3^{\text {rd }}\) orbit \((n)=3\)

    Radius of orbit is given by:

    \(r=\frac{n^{2} h^{2}}{4 \pi^{2} m e^{2}} \times \frac{1}{Z}=0.529 \times \frac{n^{2}}{Z}\)

    Put the given values in above formula,

    \(=0.529 \times 10^{-10} \times \frac{3^{2}}{4}\)

    \(=1.19 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)

    \(=0.119 \times\) \(10^{-9} \mathrm{~m} \approx 0.12 \mathrm{~nm}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 30
    1 / -0

    In a Rutherford's α-scattering experiment with thin gold foil, 8100 scintillations per minute are observed at an angle of 60°. What will be the number of scintillations per minute at an angle of 120°?

    Solution

    Given:

    Number of scintillations per minute at an angle 60°, \(n_{1}\) = 8100 m

    Number of scintillations per minute at an angle 120°, \(n_{2}\) =?

    The scattering in the Rutherford's experiment is proportional to \(\cot ^{4} \frac{\phi}{2}\).

    \(\Rightarrow  \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}=\frac{\frac{\cot ^{4} \phi_{2} }{ 2}}{\frac{\cot ^{4} \phi_{1}}{ 2}}\)

    Therefore,

    \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}=\frac{\cot ^{4}\left(\frac{120^{\circ}}{2}\right)}{\cot ^{4}\left(\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}\right)}\)

    \(=\frac{\cot ^{4} 60^{\circ}}{\cot ^{4} 30^{\circ}}\)

    \(=\left(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{4}\)

    \(=\frac{1}{81}\)

    \(n_{2}=\frac{1}{81} \times n_{1}\)

    Put the value of \(n_{1}\) in above equation,

    \(=\frac{1}{81} \times 8100\)

    \(=100\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).
