(i) Calculate the number of electrons which will together weigh one gram.
(ii) Calculate the mass and charge of one mole of electrons.
(i) As we know that
Mass of one electron = 9.1× 10-28 g
1 electron weighs 9.1× 10-28 g
So, X electrons will weigh 1 g
X = [1] / [9.1× 10-28]
= 1.098×1027 electrons
Therefore 1.098×1027 electrons together weigh 1g.
(ii) By Avogadro’s Law we know that
1 mole of electron = 6.023×1023 electrons
Mass of one electron = 9.1× 10-28g
Therefore, Mass of 1 mole of electrons = [6.023×1023] × [9.1× 10-28]
= 5.4809× 10-4g
We also know that charge of one electron = 1.6× 10-19 C
Therefore, Charge of 1 mole of electron is = [6.023×1023] × [1.6× 10-19]
= 96.368×103 C
Therefore, mass of one mole of electron is 5.481× 10-4 g and the charge is 96.37×103 C.
(i) Calculate the total number of electrons present in one mole of methane.
(ii) Find (a) the total number and (b) the total mass of neutrons in 7 mg of 14C. (Assume that mass of a neutron = 1.675 × 10–27 kg).
(iii) Find (a) the total number and (b) the total mass of protons in 34 mg of NH3 at STP.
(iv) Will the answer change if the temperature and pressure are changed?
(i) As we know in 1 molecule of methane, 1 carbon atom and 4 atoms of hydrogen is present.
In carbon there are six electrons and hydrogen consist of one electron each.
So total number of electrons in methane = 6 + 4
= 10 electrons
By Avogadro’s Law we know that
1 mole of methane contains 6.023×1023 atoms.
So total number of electrons of in 1 mole methane = 10×6.023×1023
= 6.023×1024 electrons
So total number of electrons in 1 mole of methane is 6.023×1024 electrons
(ii) Mass of one neutron = 1.675 × 10–27 kg
1 mole of Carbon atom = 6.023×1023 atoms
Number of neutrons in 1 carbon atom = 14-6= 8
So total number of neutrons in 14g of Carbon = 6.023×1023×8 neutrons
So 7mg of Carbon will contain =
= [3.37288×1022]/14
= 2.4092×1021 neutrons
So, Mass of 2.4092×1021 neutrons = [2.4092×1021] × [1.675 × 10–24]
= 4.035×10–3 g
So, in 7 mg of carbon total number of neutrons is 2.41×1021 and the total mass of the neutrons is 4.035× 10–3 g
(iii) Molecular Mass of Ammonia = 17g
By Avogadro’s Law,
1 mole of Ammonia = 17g of Ammonia = 6.023×1023 atoms
Total Number of Protons in Ammonia = 7 + 3= 10
So total number of protons in Ammonia = 6.023×1024 protons
17g of Ammonia contain 6.023×1024 protons
So, 34 mg of Ammonia will contain X number of protons
X =
X = [6.023×1024] × [2×10-3]
X = 1.2046×1022 protons
Mass of one proton = 1.6726 × 10–24g
So, Mass of 1.2046×1022 protons = [1.6726 × 10–24] × [1.2046×1022]
= 20.148×10-3 g
So, in 34 mg of ammonia total number of protons is 1.205×1022 and the total mass of the protons is 20.148×10-3 g.

Given:
Wavelength of Yellow Light = 580 nm.
To Find Frequency of the light:
We know the following basic relation,
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Frequency, v = [3×108] / [580 × 10-9]
v = 5.17×1014 Hz
Wave Number is defined as the number of wavelengths which can be accommodated in one centimetre of length in the direction of propagation.
Wave Number for Yellow Light = [1] / [λ]
= [1] / [580 × 10-9]
= 1.7 × 106 m-1
Therefore, the frequency of yellow light is 5.17×1014 Hz and the wave number of yellow light is 1.7 × 106 m-1

Using the Planck’s relation, we will solve the numerical.
(i) Frequency, v =3×1015 Hz
By Planck’s relation we have,
Energy, E = h×v
= [6.626×10-34] × [3×1015]
= 1.9878×10-18 J
Therefore, the energy of the photon corresponding to light of frequency 3×1015 Hz is 1.988×10-18 J.
(ii) We know the following basic relation,
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Frequency, v = [3×108] / [0.5 × 10-10]
v = 6×1018 Hz
By Planck’s relation we have,
Energy, E = h×v
= [6.626×10-34] × [6×1018]
= 3.9756×10-15 J
Therefore, the energy of the photon corresponding to light of frequency 3×1015 Hz is 3.98×10-15 J.
Calculate the wavelength, frequency and wave number of a light wave whose period is 2.0 × 10–10 s.
Given:
Period, T = 2.0 × 10–10 s
Frequency, v = [1] / T
= [1] / [2.0 × 10–10]
= 5.0 × 109 Hz
We know the following basic relation,
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Wavelength, λ = [3×108] / [5.0 × 109]
= 0.06 m
Wave Number = [1] / [λ]
= [1/0.06]
= 16. 667 m-1
Therefore, the frequency of wave is 5.0 × 109 Hz and its wavelength is 0.06 m and its wave number 16. 667 m-1
What is the number of photons of light with a wavelength of 4000 pm that provide 1J of energy?
Given:
Wavelength, λ = 4000 pm
Energy, E = 1 J
By Planck’s relation we have,
Energy, E = h×v
But we know v = [c] / [λ]
Where
c = Speed of Light
v= Frequency
λ = Wavelength
So, E = hc /λ
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [4000×10-12]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [4000×10-12]
= 4.9695×10-17 J
4.9695×10-17 J is the Energy of 1 photon
So, 1 J is the energy of X number of photons
X = [1] / [4.9695×10-17]
X = 2.012×1016 photons
So, the number of photons which provide 1 J of energy is 2.012×1016 photons.

But we know v = [c] / [λ]
Where
c = Speed of Light
v= Frequency
λ = Wavelength
So, E = hc /λ
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [4×10-7]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [4×10-7]
= 4.9695×10-19 J
Therefore, the energy of the photon 4.9695×10-19 J
Finding the Kinetic Energy of Emission:
Kinetic Energy = hv - hvo
= [E – W] eV
Where
E = Energy of photon in eV
W = work function of metal in eV
= {[4.9695×10-19]/ [1.6020 × 10–19]} – 2.13
= 3.102 – 2.13
= 0.972 eV
Therefore, the kinetic energy of emission is 0.972 eV.
Finding Velocity of photoelectron:
We know the formula for kinetic energy which is given as follows:
1/2 mv2 = kinetic Energy
Where
m = mass of electron
v = velocity of electron
v2 = [2× 0.972× 1.6020 × 10–19] / [9.1× 10-31]
= [3.1143× 10–19] / [9.1× 10-31]
v2 = 3.422× 1011
Therefore v = √ [3.422× 1011]
v = 5.849× 105 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of photoelectron is 5.85× 105 m/s

So, E = hc /λ
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [242×10-9]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [242×10-9]
= 8.214×10-19 J/atom
To convert the energy from J/atom to kJ mol–1 we carry out the following conversion process:
E = [8.214×10-19× 6.023×1023] / 1000
= [494.729× 103] / 1000
= 494.729 kJ/mol
Therefore, the energy of the photon 494.73 kJ/mol

But we know v = [c] / [λ]
Where
c = Speed of Light
v= Frequency
λ = Wavelength
So, E = hc /λ
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [0.57×10-6]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [0.57×10-6]
= 3.487×10-19 J
Rate of Emission of Quanta, R = P / E
Where
P = Power of the bulb
E = Energy of photon
R = [25] / [3.487×10-19]
= 7.169×1019 s-1
Therefore, the rate of emission of quanta is 7.17×1019 s-1.

We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Frequency, vo = [3×108] / [6800 × 10-10]
vo = 4.412×1014 Hz
Work Function, W0 = [6.626×10-34] × [4.412×1014]
= 2.923×10-19 J
Therefore, the threshold frequency is 4.41×1014 Hz and the work function is 2.92×10-19 J.

= 329034 / 16
= 20564.625 cm-1
We know that Wave Number = [1] / [Wavelength, λ]
Therefore, Wavelength = [1 / 20564.625]
λ = 4.863× 10-5 cm
Therefore, the wavelength of the light is 4.86× 10-5 cm

For ionization from n1 = 5 to n2 = ∞,
Therefore ∆E = E2-E1 = -21.8× 10-19× [1/n22-1/n12]
= 21.8× 10-19 × [1/n22-1/n12]
=21.8× 10-19× [1/52-1/∞]
=8.72× 10-20J
For ionization from 1st orbit, n1=1, n2=∞
Therefore ∆E’ = 21.8× 10-19× [1/12- 1/∞]
= 21.8× 10-19J
Now ∆E’/∆E = 21.8× 10-19/8.72× 10-20 = 25
Thus, the energy required to remove electron from 1st orbit is 25 times than the required to electron from 5th orbit.

Wave Number
= 15233.0556 cm-1
Therefore, the wave number for longest wavelength is 15.233× 103 cm-1.

So E = hc /λ
λ = hc / E
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [2.0928 × 10–18]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [2.0928 × 10–18]

So, E = hc /λ
λ = hc / E
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [0.5465 × 10–18]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [0.5465 × 10–18]

v2 = 659.3406 × 103
Therefore v = √ [659.3406 × 103]
v = 811.99 m/s
According to the de Broglie’s Equation:
λ = h/mv
Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of electron
v= velocity of particle
h= Planck’s constant [6.62× 10-34]
λ = {[6.62× 10-34] / [9.1× 10-31] × [811.99]}
= {[6.62× 10-34] / [7.389 × 10-28]

Thus, 1p is not possible
For n = 2, l = 0 and 1
Therefore, 2s and 2p are possible orbitals.
For n = 3, l = 0, 1 and 2

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 orbit.
As we know that the angular momentum of an electron is given by mvr = [nh]/ 2π ……………………………………………. [1]
Where
m = mass of the electron
v = velocity of the electron
r = radius of the orbit
h = Planck’s constant
According to the de Broglie’s Equation:
λ = h/mv
Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of electron
v= velocity of particle
h= Planck’s constant [6.62× 10-34]
mv = h / λ
Substituting the above value in [1]
[hr] / λ = [nh]/ 2π
2πr = nλ
Since we know that 2πr is the circumference of a circle, so it is proved in above equation that circumference of the Bohr’s orbit is an integral multiple of the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electron revolving around the orbit.
What transition in the hydrogen spectrum would have the same wavelength as the Balmer transition n = 4 to n = 2 of He+ spectrum?
For an atom, wave number = 1/λ = RHZ2 [1/n12-1/n22]
For He+ spectrum Z = 2, n2=4, n1=2
Therefore [-v] = 1/λ = RH× {4× [1/22-1/42]}
= RH× {4× [1/4 – 1/16]}
= RH× {[4× 3] / 16}
= 3RH / 4
For hydrogen spectrum, wave number = 3RH/4, Z = 1
Therefore, wave number = 1/λ = RH× 1[1/n12-1/n22]
Or
RH [1/n12-1/n22] = 3RH/4
Or
1/n12 – 1/n22 = 3/4
Which can be so for n1 = 1 & n2 = 2, i.e. the transition is from n = 2 to n = 1

h = Planck’s constant
For the process mentioned in the question, energy required = En– E1
= 0 – [-2n2me4 / 12h2]
= 4 × 2n2me4/h2
But we know 2n2me4/h2 = 2.18 × 10-18J
= 4 × 2.18 × 10-18
= 8.72 × 10-18J
Therefore, the energy required for the process is 8.72 × 10-18J

Length of line = 20 cm
Number of carbon atoms which can be place along the line is given by n = [20× 10-2] / [0.15× 10-9]
n = 1.333× 109

D= [l] / [n]
D = [2.4× 10-2] / [2 ×108]
D = 1.2× 10-10 m
Therefore radius = [1.2× 10-10] / 2
= 0.6× 10-10 m
Therefore, the radius of carbon atom is 0.6 Å.

Where
n = number of electrons
e = 1.6× 10-19 J
n = [–1.282 × 10–18 C] / [1.6× 10-19]
n = 8 electrons
Therefore, the number of electrons present on oil drop is 8 electrons.
In Rutherford’s experiment, generally the thin foil of heavy atoms, like gold, platinum etc. have been used to be bombarded by the α-particles. If the thin foil of light atoms like aluminium etc. is used, what difference would be observed from the above results?
In 1911, Rutherford performed alpha rays scattering experiment to demonstrate and to find the structure of atom.
Heavy atoms have a heavy nucleus carrying a great quantity of positive charge. Hence, some alpha particles are easily deflected back on hitting the nucleus. Besides a bit of alpha particles are deflected through small angles because of large positive charge on the nucleus. So with the aid of heavy nuclei atoms it was possible to understand or detect the minute deflections of alpha particles.
If light atoms are used, their nuclei will be light & moreover, they will hold a small positive charge on the nucleus. Hence, the number of particles deflected back & those deflected through some angle will be trifling. Hence deflections of alpha particles from light atoms remain unnoticeable.

The general convention or method of representing an element along with its atomic mass [A] and atomic number [Z] followed globally is AZX. Atomic number of an element is fixed. However, mass number is not fixed as it depends upon the isotope taken. Hence it is essential to indicate mass number.
An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol.
Given:
Mass Number = 81
Percentage of neutron = 31.7% more as compared protons
Let number of protons = p
Let number of neutrons= n
p + n = 81
p + {p + [31.7× p] / 100} = 81
p + 1.317p = 81
2.317p = 81
p = 81 / 2.317
p = 94.95899
p = 35

Let number of neutrons= n
p + n = 81
p + {p + [11.1× p] / 100} = 37
p + 1.111p = 37
2.111p = 37
p = 37 / 2.111
p = 17.527
p = 17
Atomic Number = 17
The element is chlorine.
The atomic symbol is 3717Cl.
An ion with mass number 56 contains 3 units of positive charge and 30.4% more neutrons than electrons. Assign the symbol to this ion.
Given:
Mass Number = 56
Percentage of neutron = 30.4% more as compared electrons
Let Number of electrons in ion = p
As, it has 3 positive chargeTherefore, number of protons = p + 3
As, number of neutrons are 30.4 % more as compared to number of electrons.Therefore, number of neutrons= p + 0.304 p =1.304 p
As, we all know that mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons.
Therefore,
p + 3 + n = 56
p + 3 + {p + [30.4× p] / 100} = 56
p + 3 + 1.304p = 56
2.304p = 53
p = 53 / 2.304
p = 23
23 is the number of electrons present in that ion.Therefore, the number of protons = p + 3
=23 + 3
= 26
Atomic Number = 26

Nitrogen laser produces a radiation at a wavelength of 337.1 nm. If the number of photons emitted is 5.6 × 1024, calculate the power of this laser.
Given:
Wavelength, λ = 337.1 nm
Number of photons = 5.6 × 1024
Energy, E = nhv = nhc/λ
Where
n = number of photons emitted
h = Planck’s constant
c = velocity of radiation
λ = wavelength of radiation
Substituting the values in the given expression of Energy [E]:
= {[5.6× 1024] × [6.626× 10-34] × [3× 108 ms-1]} / [337.1× 10-9m]
= [1.113168] / [337.1× 10-9m]
= 3.302× 106 J
Hence, the power of the laser is 3.302× 106 J.
Neon gas is generally used in the sign boards. If it emits strongly at 616 nm, calculate (a) the frequency of emission, (b) distance travelled by this radiation in 30 s (c) energy of quantum and (d) number of quanta present if it produces 2 J of energy.
Given:
Wavelength, λ = 616 nm = 616× 10-9m
a)To find frequency:
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Frequency, v = [3×108] / [616 × 10-9]
v = 4.87×1014 Hz
b)To find distance travelled:
Velocity of the radiation = 3× 108 m/s
Therefore, distance travelled in 30s = 30× 3× 108 = 9.0× 109m
To find the energy:
By Planck’s relation we have,
Energy, E = h×v
= [6.626×10-34] × [4.87×1014]
= 3.23×10-19 J
= 2 ev.
Therefore, the energy of the photon corresponding to light of frequency 4.87×1014 Hz is 3.23×10-19 J.
d)In astronomical observations, signals observed from the distant stars are generally weak. If the photon detector receives a total of 3.15 × 10–18 J from the radiations of 600 nm, calculate the number of photons received by the detector.
Given:
Energy, E = 3.15 × 10–18 J
Wavelength, λ = 600 nm
By Planck’s relation we have,
Energy, E = h×v
But we know v = [c] / [λ]
Where
c = Speed of Light
v= Frequency
λ = Wavelength
So, E = hc /λ
= [[6.626×10-34] × [3×108]] / [600×10-9]
= [1.9878×10-25] / [600×10-9]
= 3.313×10-19 J
Therefore, number of photons received = [3.15 × 10–18] / [3.313×10-19]
= 9.5
Therefore, the number of photons received cannot be in fraction
So, number of photons received is 9.

Frequency, v = [1] / T
= [1] / [2.0 × 10–9]
= 0.5 × 109 Hz
By Planck’s relation we have,
Energy, E = n× h×v
Where
n = number of photons
h = Planck’s constant
E = [2.5× 1015] × [6.626× 10-34] × [0.5× 109]
= 8.28× 10-10 J
Therefore, the energy of the photon is 8.28× 10-10 J.

Given:
Wavelength, λ1 = 589 nm
Wavelength, λ2 = 589.6 nm
To find frequency:
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Frequency, v1 = [3×108] / [589 × 10-9]
v1 = 5.093×1014 Hz
Frequency, v2 = [3×108] / [589.6 × 10-9]
V2 = 5.088×1014 Hz
Change in Energy, ∆E = E2-E1 = h[v2-v1]
= [6.626× 10-34] {[5.093 - 5.088] × 1014}
= [6.626× 10-34] {[5× 10-3] × 1014}
= 3.313× 10-22J
Therefore, the energy difference between two excited states is 3.31× 10-22J.

To find threshold frequency:
W = hvo
Where
h = Planck’s constant
vo = threshold frequency
vo = h / w
vo = [1.9× 1.602× 10-19] / [6.626× 10-34]
= [3.0438× 10-19] / [6.626× 10-34]
= 4.5937× 1014 Hz
Therefore, the frequency is 4.59× 1014 Hz
To find wavelength:
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Wavelength, λ = [3×108] / [4.5937× 1014]
= 6.5306× 10-7 m
Therefore, the wavelength is 6.53× 10-7 m
Finding Kinetic Energy:
K.E of ejected electron = h[v-vo] = hc[1/λ – 1/λ o]
= [6.626× 3× 10-26] [1/500× 10-9 – 1/654× 10-9]
= [6.626× 3× 10-26] × {109 × [154/327000]}
= [6.626× 3× 10-26] × [468747.1289]
= 9.3177× 10-20J
Finding Velocity of photoelectron:
We know the formula for kinetic energy which is given as follows:
1/2 mv2 = kinetic Energy
Where
m = mass of electron
v = velocity of electron
v2 = [2× 9.3177× 10-20] / [9.1× 10-31]
= [1.8654× 10–19] / [9.1× 10-31]
v2 = 2.0478× 1011
Therefore v = √ [2.0478× 1011]
v = 4.525× 105 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of photoelectron is 4.525× 105 m/s

Dividing equation [3] and [1]
17.6070λ - 5λ = 8803.537 – 2000

The ejection of the photoelectron from the silver metal in the photoelectric effect experiment can be stopped by applying the voltage of 0.35 V when the radiation 256.7 nm is used. Calculate the work function for silver metal.
Given:
Work Function of metal, W = 037eV
Wavelength, λ = 256.7 nm
From the Law of conservation of energy, the energy of an incident photon [E] is equal to the sum of the work function [W] of radiation and its kinetic energy [K.E] i.e.,
Energy of incident radiation [E] = hc/λ = [6.626× 10-34] [3× 108] [256.7× 10-9]
= 7.74× 10-19 J
Since the potential applied gives the kinetic energy to the radiation, therefore K.E of the electron = 0.35Ev
Therefore, work function = 4.83 – 0.35
= 4.48 eV
Therefore, the work function of metal is 4.48 eV

= 13.25× 10-16J-1.025× 10-16J
=12.227× 10-16 J
= [12.227× 10-16]/ [1.602× 10-19]
=7.63× 103eV
Therefore, the energy which bounded the electron to nucleus is 7.63× 103eV.
Emission transitions in the Panchen series end at orbit n = 3 and start from orbit n and can be represented as v = 3.29 × 1015 (Hz) [1/32 – 1/n2]
Calculate the value of n if the transition is observed at 1285 nm. Find the region of the spectrum.
Given:
Wavelength, λ = 1285 nm
Frequency, v = 3.29 × 1015 [1/32 – 1/n2] (Hz)
Speed of Light = [Frequency] × [Wavelength]
We know speed of light = 3×108 m/s
Frequency, v = [3×108] / [1285 × 10-9]
v = 2.3346×1014 Hz
3.29 × 1015 [1/32 – 1/n2] = 2.3346×1014
[1/32 – 1/n2] = [2.3346×1014] / [3.29 × 1015]
[1/32 – 1/n2] = 0.07427
[1/9] – 0.07427 = 1/n2
1/n2 = 0.04
1/n2 = 1 / 25
n2 = 25
n = 5
The value of n is 5.
Calculate the wavelength for the emission transition if it starts from the orbit having radius 1.3225 nm and ends at 211.6 pm. Name the series to which this transition belongs and the region of the spectrum.
Given:
Radius, r1 = 1.3225 nm
Radius, r2 = 211.6 pm
The radius of the nth orbit of hydrogen – like particles = 0.529n2/Z Å
Now r1 = 1.3225 nm or 1322.5 pm = 52.9n12 / Z
And
R2 = 211.6pm = 52.9n22/Z
Taking the ratio of r1and r2
So r1/r2=1322.5 / 211.6 = n12/n22
n12/n22 = 6.25
n1/n2 = 2.5
Therefore n2 = 2, n1 = 5
By referring to Balmer Formula:
We know that
Wave Number
Here n1 = 2 and n2 = 5 and the value of Rh = 109678
Wave Number
= [109678×21] / 100
= 2303238 / 100
= 23032.38 cm-1
We know that Wave Number = [1] / [Wavelength, λ]
Therefore, Wavelength = [1 / 23032.38]
λ = 4.3417× 10-5 cm
Therefore, the wavelength of the light is 4.34× 10-5 cm
The transition belongs to visible region.
Dual behaviour of matter proposed by de Broglie led to the discovery of electron microscope often used for the highly magnified images of biological molecules and other type of material. If the velocity of the electron in this microscope is 1.6 × 106 ms–1, calculate de Broglie wavelength associated with this electron.
Given:
Velocity of electron, v = 1.6 × 106 ms–1
Mass of electron, m = 9.1× 10-31 kg
According to the de Broglie’s Equation:
λ = h/mv
Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of electron
v= velocity of particle
h= Planck’s constant [6.62× 10-34]
λ = {[6.62× 10-34] / [9.1× 10-31] × [1.6 × 106]}
= {[6.62× 10-34] / [1.456 × 10-24]
= 4.5508× 10-10 m
Therefore, the wavelength is 455 pm
Similar to electron diffraction, neutron diffraction microscope is also used for the determination of the structure of molecules. If the wavelength used here is 800 pm, calculate the characteristic velocity associated with the neutron.
Given:
Mass of electron, m = 1.675× 10-27 kg
Wavelength, λ = 800 pm
According to the de Broglie’s Equation:
λ = h/mv
Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of electron
v= velocity of particle
h= Planck’s constant [6.62× 10-34]
v = {[6.62× 10-34] / [1.675× 10-27] × [800 × 10-12]}
= {[6.62× 10-34] / [1.34× 10-36]
= 494.4776 m / s
Therefore, the velocity is 494.48 m / s.
If the velocity of the electron in Bohr’s first orbit is 2.19 × 106 ms–1, calculate the de Broglie wavelength associated with it.
Given:
Velocity of electron, v = 2.19 × 106 ms–1
According to the de Broglie’s Equation:
λ = h/mv
Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of electron
v= velocity of particle
h= Planck’s constant [6.62× 10-34]
λ = {[6.62× 10-34] / [9.1× 10-31] × [2.19 × 106]}
= {[6.62× 10-34] / [1.9929 × 10-24]
= 3.3248× 10-10 m
Therefore, the wavelength is 332 pm
The velocity associated with a proton moving in a potential difference of 1000 V is 4.37 × 105 ms–1. If the hockey ball of mass 0.1 kg is moving with this velocity, calculate the wavelength associated with this velocity.
Given:
Velocity of ball, v = 4.37 × 105 ms–1
Mass of ball, m = 0.1kg
According to the de Broglie’s Equation:
λ = h/mv
Where,
λ = wavelength of moving particle
m = mass of electron
v= velocity of particle
h= Planck’s constant [6.62× 10-34]
λ = {[6.62× 10-34] / [0.1] × [4.37 × 105]}
= {[6.62× 10-34] / [43.7 × 103]
= 1.516× 10-38 m
Therefore, the wavelength is 1.516× 10-38 m.
If the position of the electron is measured within an accuracy of + 0.002 nm, calculate the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron. Suppose the momentum of the electron is , is there any problem in defining this value.
By referring to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, we know
∆x × ∆p = h/4∏
Where,
∆x = uncertainty in position of the electron
∆p = uncertainty in momentum of the electron
∆x = 0.002nm = 2× 10-12m [given]
Finding the value of ∆p:
∆p = [h/4π] × [1 / ∆x]
∆p = [1/0.002] × {6.626× 10-34/4× [3.14]}
= [1 / 2× 10-12] × {6.626×10-34/4× 3.14}
= [5.2728×10-35] × [5×1011]
= 2.6364 × 10-23 Jsm-1
∆p = 2.637 × 10-23 kgms-1 {1 J – 1 kgms2s-1}
Actual momentum = h / [4n× 5× 10-11]
= [6.626× 10-34] / [4× 3.14× 5× 10-11]
= 1.055 × 10-24 kg m/sec

For n = 4 and L = 2, the orbital occupied is 4d.
For n = 3 and L = 2, the orbital occupied is 3d.
For n = 4 and L = 1, the orbital occupied is 4p.
Hence, the six electrons i.e., 1, 2,3,4,5, and 6 are present in the 4d, 3d, 4p, 3d, 3p, and 4p orbital respectively.
Therefore, the increasing order of energies of the electrons is 5[3p] < 2[3d] = 4[3d] <3[4p] = 6[4p] < 1[4d].

Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in the orbital of an atom exerted by the nucleus of the atom. The closer the orbital, the greater is the nuclear charge experienced by the electron [s] in it and the nuclear charge is inversely proportional to the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
(i) 3s is farther away from the nucleus as compared to 2s. Hence 2s will experience larger effective nuclear charge as compared to 3s.
(ii) In this case 4d will experience more nuclear charge as compared to 4f as 4d is more near to the nucleus.
(iii) 3f is farther away from the nucleus as compared to 3p. Hence 3p will experience larger effective nuclear charge as compared to 3f.

(a) n = 4 [Given]
For a given value of ‘n’, ‘L’ can have values from zero to [n-1].
∴ L = 0, 1, 2, 3
Thus, four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are s, p, d and f.
(b) Number of orbitals in the nth shell = n2
For n = 4
Number of orbitals = 16
Each orbital has one electron with ms = -1/2
