SECTION-D
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS
29. The hydrogen spectrum is an important piece of evidence to show the quantized 4
electronic structure of an atom. The hydrogen atoms of the molecule dissociate as
soon as an electric discharge is passed through a gaseous hydrogen molecule. It
results in the emission of electromagnetic radiation initiated by the energetically
excited hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen emission spectrum comprises radiation of
discrete frequencies.

a. What is the ratio of the energies of the hydrogen atom in its first to a second excited 1
state?
b. Calculate the energy required for the process 1

The ionization energy for the H atom in the ground state is 2.18 x 10-18 J atom-1.
c. What transition in the hydrogen spectrum would have the same wavelength as the 2
Balmer transition n = 4 to n = 2 of He+ spectrum?
Or
What is the ratio of wavelength of two particles if momentum of one particle is four times
of other?

30. The attractive force which holds the two atoms together is called chemical bond. 4
Covalent bond is formed by equal sharing of electrons. Coordinate bond is formed by
unequal sharing of electrons. Ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one
atom to another. Octet rule, although very useful but it is not universally applicable.
According to valence bond theory, covalent bond is formed by overlapping of half
filled atomic orbitals resulting in lowering of energy and more stability. Bond order
is the number of bonds between atoms in a molecule. Higher the bond order, more
will be stability and bond dissociation enthalpy but smaller bond length. Polarity of
covalent bond depends upon difference in electronegativity. Covalent character of
bond depends upon polarising power, smaller cation and bigger anions have higher
polarising power. VSEPR theory helps to predict shapes of molecules.
a. Write the, electron dot structure of N2O. 1

b. What are ions present in CsI3? 1

c. What is correct order of repulsion bp - bp, lp - lp and lp - bp? 2

Draw the structure of XeF4 on the basis of VSEPR theory.
Or
Arrange the following in increasing of bond angle
CH4,H2O, BeCl2,BF3

which it is bound to the nucleus

3. Average atomic masses listed by IUPAC are based on a study of experimental
results. Bromine has two isotopes, 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9183 and 80.9163
amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.31%) were determined in earlier experiments.
