Q1. Energy of an electron in stationary state is given by the formula

where n=1,2,3....... . In this equation, is called
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The Rydberg constant, symbol R∞ for heavy atoms or RH for hydrogen, named after the Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg, is a physical constant relating to atomic spectra, in the science of spectroscopy.

Q2. Lines in the hydrogen spectrum which appear in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, then they are called as
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and resulting ultraviolet emission lines of the hydrogen atom as an electron goes from n ≥ 2 to n = 1 (where n is the principal quantum number), the lowest energy level of the electron.

Q3. Lines in the hydrogen spectrum which appear in the infrared region of the electromagnetic Spectrum, then they are called as
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The Lyman series lies in the ultraviolet, whereas the Paschen, Brackett, and Pfund series lie in the infrared.

Q4. Lines in the hydrogen spectrum which appear in the visible region of the electromagnetic Spectrum, then they are called as
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom. The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885 Balmar series lies in visible region of Electromagnetic spectrum.

Q5.

he commonly occurring isotopes of carbon atoms are: 612C, 613C, 614C . They contain:


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but that have a different number of neutrons.

Atomic number of carbon = 6

So number of protons in each isotope = 6

Number of neutrons in = 12-6= 6

Number of neutrons in = 13-6= 7

Number of neutrons in = 14-6= 8


Q6.

How many protons, neutrons and electrons are in ?

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Atomic number of iron (Fe) = 26

So number of protons = 26

Number of protons = number of electrons

But To gain 3+ charge it should loose 3 electron. So number of electrons present = 26-3 = 23

Now atomic mass = 56 (Given).

Number of neutrons = atomic mass - number of protons = 56-26 = 30


Q7.

Give the number of electrons in the species,  and .


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

atomic number O has atomic number = 8 so number of electrons in = 16

while in  there is one unit positive charge so no. of electron =15.


Q8. An atom of an element contains 29 electrons and 35 neutrons. The number of protons are:
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

In a atom no. of protons = no. of electrons i.e. P = E while this is not true in case of ions. So number of protons in given atom is 29.

Q9. Values of e/m (charge/mass) in the categories alpha particle (α), electron (e) and protons (p) increase in the order:
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

α-particle (He2+) has very high mass compared to proton and electron, therefore very small em ratio. Proton and electron have same charge (magnitude) but former is heavier, hence has smaller value of em.

Q10. The atom with the given atomic number Z=17, and the atomic mass A=35.5 is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Here l = 3 means the sub shell is f and n = 4 means it is present in 4th orbit. Finally it is a 4f sub shell. The no of orbital in f sub shell =2l+1=2×3+1=7 Each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons. 7×2=14 electrons. Maximum number of electrons in a sub shell with l=3 and n=4 (4f) is 14 electrons.
