33.Assertion: When a covalent bond is formed between atoms of different electronegativity, the electron
density is more towards the more electronegative atom of the bond.
Reason: Shift of electron density results in a polar covalent bond. 34. Assertion: Bond energy has order like C
- C < C =C < C C

Reason: Bond energy increases with increase in bond order.

35.Assertion: Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go down a group.

Reason: Size of the atom increases on going down the group and the added electron would be farther from
the nucleus.

36.Assertion: One atomic mass unit is defined as one twelfth of the mass of one carbon-12 atom.

Reason: Carbon -12 isotope is the most abundant isotope of carbon and has been chosen as standard.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

Electrons revolve around the nucleus only in stationary path, called energy levels or orbits or shells. Each
energy level has a definite energy associated with it. As one moves away from the nucleus, the energy of the
states increases. According to Bohr’s theory, when an electron jumps from ground state to excited state, it
emits a radiation of definite frequency (or wavelength). Corresponding to the wavelength of each photon of
light emitted, a bright line appears in the spectrum.

38. Which of the following statements do not form a part of Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom ?

(a).Energy of the electrons in the orbits are quantized

(b).The electron in the orbit nearest the nucleus has the lowest energy

(c).Electrons revolve in different orbits around the nucleus

(d).The position and velocity of the electrons in the orbit cannot be determined simultaneously.

39. The orbitals are called degenerate when–

(a)they have the same wave functions

(b).they have the same wave functions but different energies

(c).they have different wave functions but same energy

(d).they have the same energy

a) 10h/ π b) 2.5 h/ π c) 25h/ π d)1.0h/ π

41.Stationary states of electrons are numbered as1,2,3----. These integral numbers are known as

(a).azimuthal quantum numbers

(b)magnetic quantum numbers

c)principal quantum number

d)spin quantum number

42.Which among the following is not a failure of Bohr’s model

(a).It fails to explain the ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.

(b).It fails to explain hydrogen spectrum

c)It could not explain Zeeman effect
