Answer 2.40:
A thin foil of lighter atoms will not give the same results as given with the foil of heavier
atoms.

Answer 2.41:
The general convention of representing an element along with its atomic mass (A) and
atomic number (Z) is 2X.
Hence, Br is acceptable but is “Br not acceptable.
Br canbe written but “Br cannot be written because the atomic number of an
element is constant, but the atomic mass of an element depends upon the relative
abundance of its isotopes. Hence, it is necessary to mention the atomic mass of an element
Question 2.42:
An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons.

According to the question,
Mass number of the element = 81
«(Number of protons + number of neutrons) = 81
=x+1317x=81
2317x=81
Hence, the number of protons in the element i.e., x is 35
Since the atomic number of an atom is defined as the number of protons present In its
nucleus, the atomic number of the given element is 35.

Question 2.43:
An ion with mass number 37 possesses one unit of negative charge. If the jon contains
11.1% more neutrons than the electrons, find the symbol of the ion.

Let the number of electrons in the ion carrying a negative charge be x.
Then,
Number of neutrons present
=x + 11.1% of x
=x+0111x*
=1.111x«
Number of electrons in the neutral atom = (x - 1)
(When an ion carries a negative charge, it carries an extra electron)
= Number of protons in the neutral atom = x - 1

2.0 =3,1=2,m=1,ms= +1/2

6.n=4,/= 1, m=0,ms= 41/2(Chapter — 2) (Structure of Atom)

Answer 2.62:
For n = 4 and / = 2, the orbital occupied is 4d.
For n = 3 and / = 2, the orbital occupied is 3d.
For n = 4 and / = 1, the orbital occupied is 4p.
Hence, the six electrons i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are present in the 4d, 3d, 4p, 3d, 3p, and
4p orbitals respectively.
Therefore, the increasing order of energies is 5(3p) < 2(3d) = 4(3d) < 3(4p) = 6(4p) <1
(4d).
Question 2.63:
The bromine atom possesses 35 electrons. It contains 6 electrans in 2p orbital, 6 electrons
in 3p orbital and 5 electrons in 4p orbital, Which of these electron experiences the lowest
effective nuclear charge?
Answer 2.63:
Nuclear charge experienced by an electron (présentin a multi-electron atom) is dependant
upon the distance between the nuclelis andthe orbital, in which the electron is present.
As the distance increasespthe effective nuclear charge also decreases.
Among p-orbitals,.4p orbitals are farthest from the nucleus of bromine atom with (+35)
charge. Hence, the electrons in the 4p orbital will experience the lowest effective nuclear
charge. These electrons are shielded by electrons present in the 2p and 3p orbitals along
with the s-orbitals. Therefore, they will experience the lowest nuclear charge.
Question 2.64:
Among the following pairs of orbitals which orbital will experience the larger effective
nuclear charge? (i) 2s and 3s, (ii) 4d and 4f, (iii) 3d and 3p
Answer 2.64:
Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in the
orbital of a multi-electran atom. The closer the orbital, the greater is the nuclear charge
experienced by the electron (s) in it.
(i) The electron(s) present in the 2s orbital will experience greater nuclear charge (being
closer to the nucleus) than the electron(s) in the 3s orbital(Chapter — 2) (Structure of Atom)
(Class - XT)
4d will experience greater nuclear charge than 4f since 4d is closer to the nucleus.
iii) 3p will experience greater nuclear charge since it is closer to the nucleus than 3f.
Question 2.65:
The unpaired electrons in Al and Si are present in 3p orbital. Which electrons will
experience more effective nuclear charge from the nucleus?
Answer 2.65:
Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-
electron atom.
The higher the atomic number, the higher is the nuclear charge. Silicon has 14 protons
while aluminium has 13 protons. Hence, silicon has a larger nuclear charge of (+14) than
aluminium, which has a nuclear charge of (+13). Thus, the electfons\in.the 3p orbital of
silicon will experience a more effective nuclear chargelthan aluminium.
Question 2.66:
Indicate the number, of unpaired electrons in:
(a) P, (by Si, (c) Cr, (d) Fe and (e) Kr.
Answer 2.66:
(a) Phosphorus (P):
Atomic number = 15
The electronic configuration of P is:
1s? 2s? 2p® 3s? 3p?
The orbital picture of P can be represented as:
WW flee) fe) GOT
Is 2s Op 3s 3p
From the orbital picture, phosphorus has three unpaired electrons.
(b) Silicon (Si):
Atomic number = 14(( ‘Chapter -2) (i Structure of. ‘Atom, )
(Class - XI)
The electronic configuration of Si is:
1s? 252 2p 3s? 3p?
The orbital picture of Si can be represented as:
0 Gn) ) GOT
Is 2 pp
From the orbital picture, silicon has two unpaired electrons.
(c) Chromium (Cr):
Atomic number = 24
The electronic configuration of Cr is:
1s? 2s? 2p® 3s? 3p6 4s" 30°
The orbital picture of chromium is:

From the orbital picture, chromium has six unpaired électrons.
(d) Iron (Fe):

From the orbital picture, Iron has four unpaired electrons.
(e) Krypton (Kr):
Atomic number = 36
The electronic configuration is:

Question 2.67:
(a) How many sub-shells are associated with n = 4?
(b) How many electrons will be present in the sub-shells having ms value of ~1/2 for n =
4?
Answer 2.67:
(a) n = 4 (Given)
For a given value of ‘n’, ‘’ can have values from zero to (n - 1).
21=0,1,2,3
‘Thus, four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are 5) py d and f.
(b) Number of orbitals in the n® shell = n2
Forn=4
Number of orbitals = 16
If each orbitaf'is\takénifully, ther’ it will have 1 electron with ms value of +
1
:. Number of electrons with ms value of (-4) is 16
