Explain the question: Determine the orbital placement for an additional electron in the given
atom.

Concept: Pauli Exclusion Principle and electronic configuration rules.

Solution:
The provided orbital diagram shows that the 2s subshell and one of the 2p orbitals (2px) are
already completely filled with two electrons each. The remaining two 2p orbitals, 2py and
2pz are half-filled, each containing a single electron. According to the Pauli Exclusion
Principle, an orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
Since the 2s and 2px orbitals have reached their maximum capacity, any additional electron
must enter one of the available spots in either the 2py or the 2pz orbital to form a pair. It will
have a spin opposite to the electron already present in that specific orbital.

A. (1) The spin multiplicity (n + 1) for 5 unpaired electrons is 5 + 1 = 6, not 4.

B. (2) According to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, no two electrons in an atom can have the same
set of four quantum numbers (n, ℓ, m, s); they must differ in at least one (like magnetic
quantum number m for the five electrons in the 3d subshell).
C. (3) Mn4+(d3, n = 3) and Mn2+(d5, n = 5) have different numbers of unpaired electrons and thus
different magnetic moments.
D. (4) Mn2+ contains only 6 s-electrons (1s2, 2s2, 3s2).

Therefore, statement 2 is the only correct one.

Question Explanation : Question is asking about to arrange CO (carbon monoxide), CO32⁻

(carbonate ion), and CO2 (carbon dioxide) in increasing order of C-O bond strength.
Concept : This question is based on bond strength.
Solution :
Bond strength ∝ Bond order

(1) Bond order = 3

(2) Due to resonance bond order is = 1.33

(3) O=C=O Bond order = 2
Bond strength = CO > CO2 > CO32⁻

41) Question Explanation:

Calculate effective nuclear charge using Slater's rules for shielding.

Concept:
Effective Nuclear Charge & Slater's Rules
Solution:
The effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is the net positive charge experienced by an electron,
calculated as Zeff = Z – σ, where Z is the atomic number and σ is the shielding constant.
According to Slater's rules for an outermost s or p electron: other electrons in the same shell
(n) contribute 0.35 each to σ, and electrons in the inner shell (n – 1) contribute 0.85 each.
• Nitrogen (Z = 7) electron configuration: 1s2, 2s22p3.
• Shell groups: (1s2)(2s22p3).
• We calculate for one of the 5 electrons in the outermost n = 2 shell.
• Contribution from the other 4 electrons in n = 2 shell: 4 × 0.35 = 1.40
• Contribution from the 2 electrons in (n – 1) shell (1s): 2 × 0.85 = 1.70
• Total Shielding Constant (σ) = 1.40 + 1.70 = 3.10
• Zeff = Z – σ = 7 – 3.10 = 3.90

Question Explanation: Find the percentage of ionic character for bond A-B.

Concept: Hannay-Smith Equation for electronegativity difference.

Solution:
To calculate the percent ionic character, we use the difference in electronegativity (ΔX)
between the two atoms.

A. Calculate the difference: ΔX = ENB – ENA = |3.00 – 2.00| = 1.00.

B. Apply the Hannay-Smith Formula:

% Ionic Character =16(ΔX) + 3.5(ΔX)2

 A. Substitute the values:

% Ionic Character =16(1.00) + 3.5(1.00)2

% Ionic Character = 16 + 3.5 = 19.5%

Final Answer: 19.50

52) Question Explain: We have to find number of positive integral solution of the equation x
– y4 = 1572
Concept: This question is based on Fractorization of polynomial.
Solution:
x4 – y4 = 1572
(x – y)(x + y)(x2 + y2) = 1572
as 1572 → even
So, x4 – y4 → must be even & have same parity
So x and y both even or both odd.

Case-I
x and y both even,
let x = 2m, y = 2n, m, n∈I
then x4 = (2m)4 = 16m4 and y4 = 16m4
⇒ x4 – y4 = 16m4 – 16n4 = 16(m4 – n4)
x4 – y4 → is divisible by 16

but
So, 1572 is not divisible by 16.
So, x & y both can't be even.

Case-II
x and y both odd.
Let x = 2k1 + 1 and y = 2k2 + 1, k1, k2 ∈I
x4 – y4 = 8 (k1 – k2) (k1 + k2)[4(k12 + k22 + k1 + k2)+1]
So, x4 – y4 → must divisible by 8
Now,

→ not divisible by 8.
So x & y can't have both odd.
Since neither both x & y is even nor both x & y is odd.
So, number of positive integral solutions = 0

Question Explanation: Finding the intersection of four sets using percentages.

Concept: Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion.

Solution: Apply the inclusion-exclusion formula for four sets. Assume the total union of
employees taking vacations is 100%. Sum the single set percentages, subtract the pairwise
intersections, add the triple intersections, and subtract the quadruple intersection (x) to
equate to 100.

Calculation:

100 = (90 + 65 + 10 + 7) – (55 + 8 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 3) + (3 + 3 + 2 + 2) – x

100 = 172 – 80 + 10 – x
100 = 102 – x ⇒ x = 2
