Explanation

(d) Bohr's model assumptions-

(i) The electrons in a hydrogen atom travels around the nucleus in a circular orbit

(ii) The nucleus is of infinite mass and is at rest

(iii) Electrons in a quantized orbit will not radiate energy

(iv) Mass of electron remains constant

Which of the following particles are constituents of the nucleus

Explanation

(b) Protons and neutrons are the constituent particles of nucleus.

Hydrogen (H), deuterium (D), singly ionized helium and doubly ionized lithium all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider n =2 to n = 1 transition. The wavelengths of emitted radiations are λ1,λ2,λ3 and λ4 respectively. Then approximately

Explanation

(a) Using EZ2 a                  ( n1 and n2 are same)

hcλZ2λZ2= constant

λ1Z12=λ2Z22=λ3Z32=λ4Z42

λ1×1=λ2×12=λ3×22=λ4×33λ1=λ2=4λ3=9λ4

Imagine an atom made up of a proton and a hypothetical particle of double the mass of the electron but having the same charge as the electron. Apply the Bohr atom model and consider all possible transitions of this hypothetical particle to the first excited level. The longest wavelength photon that will be emitted has wavelength λ (given in terms of the Rydberg constant R for the hydrogen atom) equal to

Explanation

(c) In hydrogen atom En=-Rhcn2
Also Enm ; where m is the mass of the electron. Here the electron has been replaced by a particle whose mass is double of an electron. Therefore, for this hypothetical atom energy in nth orbit will be given by En=-2Rhcn2
The longest wavelength λmax(or minimum energy) photon will correspond to the transition of particle from n = 3 to n = 2 hcλmax=E3-E2=2Rhc122-132
This gives λmax=185R.

The transition from the state n = 4 to n = 3 in a hydrogen-like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition

Explanation

(d) As the transition n = 4 and n = 3 , results in UV radiation and infrared radiation involves smaller amounts of energy UV. So we require a transition involving initial values of n greater than 4 e.g. 54.

The electric potential between a proton and an electron is given by V=V0lnrr0 where r0 is a constant. Assuming Bohr’s model to be applicable, write variation of rn with n, n being the principal quantum number

Explanation

(a) Potential energy U=eV=eV0lnrr0 
 Force F=-dUdr=eV0r .
 The force will provide the necessary centripetal force. Hence mv2r=eV0rv=eV0m …..(i)
and mvr=nh2π               …..(ii)
From equation (i) and(ii) mr=nh2πmeV0  or r ∝ n

If the atom Fm100257 follows the Bohr model and the radius of Fm100257 is n times the Bohr radius, then find n

(d) rm=m2Z0.53 A0=n×0.53 A0m2Z=n

m = 5 for Fm100257 (the outermost shell)

and z = 100n=52100=14

In a radioactive substance at t = 0, the number of atoms is 8×104, its half-life period is 3 yr. the number of atoms 1×104 will remain after interval [UP CPMT 2010]

Explanation

By formula  N=N012t/Tor 104=8×10412t/3or 18=12t/3or 123=12t/33=t3Hence, t=9 yr

What is the respective number of α and β-particles emitted in the following radioactive decay?

X90200Y80168   

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Suppose x α-particles and y β-particles are emitted

So, change in mass no. is given by

4x = 200 - 168 = 32

x = 8

and change in atomic no. is given by

2x - y = 90 - 80 = 10

Putting value of x 

or 2×8 - y = 10 

So, no. of β-particles y = 6

no. of α-paritcles x = 8

Alternative

X90200Y80168As, X90200(n2He4)+m(β0-1)+Y80168therefore, in this reaction200=4n+168 or n=200-1684=8Also, 90=2n-m+80or m=2n+80-90=2×8+80-90=6Thus, respective number of α and β-particles will be 8 and 6
