Answer key & Explanation
1. Ans. Correct answer is 5

Explanation
Isoelectronic species are atoms, ions or molecules that have
the same number of electrons. To find the isoelectronic species
from the given set, we need to determine the number of
electrons in each species.
The electron configuration of each species is:

Explanation
The orbital angular momentum (L) of an electron can be
determined using the formula:
Where is the azimuthal quantum number (orbital angular

momentum quantum number) and ℎ is the Planck's constant.
For a 3s orbital, the principal quantum number (n) is 3 and the
azimuthal quantum number (l) is 0, as s orbitals have l=0. Now,
let's calculate the orbital angular momentum:
Thus, the orbital angular momentum of an electron in a 3s
orbital is 0. So, the value of X is 0.

Explanation
The photoelectric effect occurs when a photon with energy
greater than the work function of a metal strikes the metal
surface, causing electrons to be emitted. The minimum energy
required for this process is given by the equation:
where E is the energy of the photon, ℎ is Planck's constant, h is

the frequency of the photon, v is the speed of light, λ is the
wavelength of the photon.
If the energy of the photon is greater than the work function

(W0) of the metal, then electrons will be emitted. The energy of
the photon is related to its wavelength by the above equation.
For the given wavelength of 400 nm, the energy of the photon
is:
For the photoelectric effect to occur, this energy must be

greater than the work function of the metal. The metals that will
show the photoelectric effect can be determined by comparing
the energy of the photon to the work function of each metal.
Metal W0 (eV) W0 (J) E>W0?
Li 2.42 3.88 × 10−19 J Yes
Na 2.3 3.68 × 10−19 J Yes
K 2.25 3.60 × 10−19 J Yes
Mg 3.7 5.92 × 10−19 J No
Cu 4.8 7.68 × 10−19 J No
Ag 4.3 6.88 × 10−19 J No
From the table, we see that three metals (Li, Na, and K) have
work functions less than the energy of the photon with a
wavelength of 400 nm. Therefore, these three metals will show
the photoelectric effect when light of this wavelength falls on
them.
Thus, the number of metals which will show photoelectric

effect when light of wavelength 400 nm falls on them is 3.

Explanation
Let's look at each statement individually:
A. For 1s orbital, the probability density is maximum at the

nucleus.
This statement is correct. For a 1s orbital, the electron is most

likely to be found closest to the nucleus.
B. For 2s orbital, the probability density first increases to
maximum and then decreases sharply to zero.
This statement is incorrect. For a 2s orbital, the probability

density is maximum at the nucleus, then decreases to zero
(this is the radial node), and then rises again to a secondary
peak before gradually tapering off.
C. Boundary surface diagrams of the orbitals encloses a region

of 100% probability of finding the electron.
This statement is incorrect. The boundary surface usually

encloses a region where there is approximately a 90% chance
of finding the electron, not 100%.
D. p and d-orbitals have 1 and 2 angular nodes respectively.
This statement is correct. The number of angular nodes

corresponds to the orbital angular momentum quantum
number (l). For a p-orbital, l=1, thus there is one angular node.
For a d-orbital, l=2, thus there are two angular nodes.
E. Probability density of p-orbital is zero at the nucleus.
This statement is correct. The probability density of a p-orbital

is indeed zero at the nucleus because p-orbitals have one
angular node at the nucleus.
So, the total number of correct statements is 3 (A, D, E).

Explanation
The energy levels of a hydrogen-like atom (such as Li²⁺ in this
case) can be calculated using the formula:
The change in energy (∆E) between two energy levels is given
by the difference in the energies of the two levels. In this case,
the electron is excited from the nth level to the (n+1)th level,
and the energy of the radiation is given as 1.47×10−17 J.
Therefore:
We substitute the given values into the formula
Simplify to
Solving this quadratic equation for n, we get two possible
solutions. However, we disregard the negative solution since n
(the principal quantum number) can't be negative. So, the only
valid solution is n=1.
Thus, the value of n is 1.

Explanation
All the statements (A, B, C, D) provided about black bodies are
correct.
(A) A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all

incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or
angle of incidence. It also emits energy in the form of
electromagnetic radiation.
(B) The frequency distribution of the emitted radiation by a

black body indeed depends on its temperature. This
phenomenon is described by Planck's law.
(C) The intensity vs frequency curve for a black body, also

known as the Planck's curve, does indeed pass through a
maximum value for a given temperature.
(D) The frequency at which the maximum intensity occurs

increases with the temperature of the black body. This is stated
in Wien's displacement law.
So, the number of incorrect statements about the black body

from the above is 0.

Explanation
Radial nodes in an atomic orbital are areas where the
probability of finding an electron is zero. The number of radial
nodes in an orbital is given by the formula:
Let's calculate the number of radial nodes for each given

orbital:
Therefore, the orbitals with 5 radial nodes are 7p, 6s, and 8d, so
there are 3 such orbitals.

Explanation
The number of true statements about the emitted radiation is 2,
i.e. statements (A) and (C).
(A) is True: The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron can be

calculated as lambda = h / p, where h is Planck's constant and
p is the momentum of the electron. The momentum of an
electron with a velocity of 1000 m/s is mv, where m is the mass
of an electron. Plugging in the values, we get
(B) is False : The characteristic of electrons emitted is

independent of the material of the electrodes of the cathode
ray tube.
(C) is True: In a cathode ray tube, electrons are emitted from the
cathode and move towards the anode under the influence of an
electric field.
(D) is False: The nature of the emitted electrons does not

depend on the nature of the gas present in the cathode ray
tube, but rather on the material of the electrodes and the
potential difference applied across them.

Answer Key & Explanation
1. Ans. (C)
Explanation
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Statement I is correct. According to Bohr's model of the

hydrogen atom, the angular momentum of an electron in a
given stationary state is quantized. The angular momentum of
an electron in the nth orbit is given by:
where n is an integer (quantum number), and h is the Planck's

constant.
Statement II is also correct. Bohr's model does not consider the

Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that it is
impossible to know the exact position and momentum of an
electron simultaneously. In Bohr's model, electrons are
assumed to move in well-defined orbits with quantized angular
momentum, which implies knowledge of both position and
momentum, thus violating the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
2. Ans. (C)
Explanation
The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is given by the
following formula:
where n is the principal quantum number (Bohr orbit number).

To find the energy in the third Bohr orbit (n = 3), we can use the
formula:
Now, we are given the energy of the electron in the first Bohr
orbit (n = 1):
First, let's convert this energy to electron volts (eV):

Now we can find the ratio of E3 to E1:
Thus, the energy of the electron in the third Bohr orbit is 1/9 th
of its energy in the first Bohr orbit.
3. Ans. (C)
Explanation
Given are two statements :
• Assertion A : "In the photoelectric effect, the electrons are

ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of
light of frequency greater than threshold frequency strikes
the surface."
• Reason R : "When the photon of any energy strikes an
electron in the atom, transfer of energy from the photon to
the electron takes place."
From the understanding of the photoelectric effect, we know

that the light beam must have a frequency v that is greater than
the threshold frequency v0 for electrons to be ejected from the
metal surface. Therefore, Assertion A is correct.
However, Reason R is somewhat misleading in the context of

the photoelectric effect. It's true that a photon transfers its
energy to an electron when it strikes the electron. However, for
the electron to be ejected (i.e., the photoelectric effect to
occur), the energy of the photon, given by ,
where ℎ is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of the light,
must be greater than the work function (the minimum energy
needed to eject an electron) of the metal. This condition is not
captured in Reason R.
Therefore, the correct answer is :
Option C : Assertion A is correct, but Reason R is not correct.

Explanation
14. Ans. (A)

Explanation
The number of protons in an element determines its atomic
number, which is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of
the element. The unipositive state of an ion indicates that it has
lost one electron. Therefore, the number of electrons in a
unipositive ion is one less than the atomic number.
The element with 55 protons is cesium (Cs), which is in group 1

of the periodic table. Group 1 elements have one valence
electron in the s sublevel of their outermost energy level.
In a neutral atom of cesium, there are 55 electrons, with the

electron configuration [Xe] 6s1. When cesium loses one
electron to form a unipositive ion (Cs+), the resulting ion has 54
electrons.
Out of this 54 electrons s subshell has 10 electrons in 1s 2, 2s2,

3s2, 4s2, 5s2.

Hence maximum number of emission lines observed are 10.

Explanation
Explanation
For A,
Given n = 3 and l = 3
but we know maximum value of l = n − 1.
∴ l can't be equal to n.
So, Set A of quantum numbers is not possible.
For B,
Given n = 3, l = 2, m = − 2
Here, l = 2 which follow the rule l = n − 1.
And we know possible value of m is − l to + l.
here possible value of m = −2 to +2

∴ This Set B is valid set of quantum numbers.
For C,
Given n = 2, l = 1, m = +1
Here l = 1 which follows the rule l = n − 1.
For l = 1 possible value of m = −1 to +1
Here m = +1. So value of m is valid.
∴ Set C is valid set of quantum numbers.
For D,
Given n = 2, l = 2, m = +2
l = 2 does not follow the rule l = n − 1 rule.
∴ Set D is not valid set of quantum numbers.

We know from hisenberg uncertainty principle

Bohr model is not valid for lithium atom (Li) as Bohr model is valid for only

MCQ Explanation
Ans 1. Velocity of electron in Bohr's atom is given by
Z = atomic number of atom, corresponds to +ve charge so as Z increase velocity

increases so statement I is wrong and as 'n' decreases velocity increases so
statement II is correct.
Ans 2. As in Thompson model, protons are diffused (charge is not centred) α-

particles deviate by small angles and due to repulsion from protons, their speed
decreases.
Ans 3. Rutherford's gold foil experiment only proved that electrons are held
towards nucleus by electrostatic forces of attraction and move in circular orbits
with very high speeds.
