Q2.
(a) Energy of an electron in M-shell (n=3)
E? = -13.6 eV / n²
E? = -13.6 / 9 = -1.51 eV
OR
(b) Wave number for transition from n=5 to n=4
? = R (1/n?² - 1/n?²), R = 1.097 × 10? m?¹
Q3. Kinetic Molecular Theory of Solids:
- Tightly packed particles
- Vibrate in place
- Strong intermolecular forces
- Fixed shape and volume
Q4. Ag?S = 24.8 g, 2 mol HCl
Reaction: Ag?S + 2HCl ? 2AgCl + H?S
- Molar mass Ag?S = 247.8 g/mol

OR
(b) Rate = k[NO?]², k = 3.8×10?³, [NO?] = 0.38 M
Q7. Charles's Law: V ? T, at 0 K ? 0 Volume, leads to absolute scale
Q8. Dipole-Dipole Forces: Polar molecules (e.g. HCl), strength depends on dipole moment & distance
Q9.
(i) Allotropy: Element in multiple forms (e.g., carbon)
(ii) Sublimation: Solid ? Gas (e.g., iodine)
(iii) Melting point: Solid ? Liquid temperature
