SOME BASIC CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY, STRUCTURE OF ATOM, CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS AND PERIODICITY IN PROPERTIES

Q. 1.
i) Cr in ground state has how many unpaired electrons. (Atomic number of Cr = 24)
ii) Arrange the following in order of increasing covalent character is this phenomenon observed:
MCl, MBr, MF, MI (where M = alkali metal).
iii) Which has more energy of electron 4p or 5s? [3]

Q.2.
i) What is Pauli’s exclusion principle?
ii) Why is sigma bond stronger than a pi bond? Explain.
iii) Out of fluorine and chlorine, which one has the higher negative value of electron gain enthalpy? [5]

Q.3.
i) Threshold frequency, n0 is the minimum frequency which a photon must possess to eject an electron
from a metal. It is different for different metals. When a photon of frequency 1.0 × 1015 s–1 was allowed
to hit a metal surface, an electron having 1.988 × 10 –19 J of kinetic energy was emitted. Calculate the
threshold frequency of this metal. Show that an electron will not be emitted if a photon with a
wavelength equal to 600 nm hits the metal surface. [3]

Q.4. BeF2 is linear while SF2 is angular though both are triatomic. Explain. [2]
Q.6. The radius of the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom is 0.529 Å, calculate the radii of:
i) the third orbit of He+ion. ii) the second orbit of Li2+ion. [2]

Q.7. Calculate the wavelength of 1000 kg rocket moving with a velocity of 3000 km/hr. [2]
