The only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions on the first orbit. When energy is supplied, the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. When this electron returns to any of the lower orbits, it emits energy.

Similarly, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively (as shown in figure) Maximum number of lines produced when an electron jumps from nth level to ground level is equal to (n(n-1))/(2). For example, in the case of n = 4, number of lines produced is 6. (4 rarr 3, 4 rarr 2, 4 rarr 1, 3 rarr 2, 3 rarr 1, 2 rarr 1).

The observed value of dipole moment of H_(2)O molecule is found to be 1 .84 D. Calculate the H-O-H bond angle in H_(2)O molecule , given that the bond moment of O-H bond is 1.5 D.

Answer»

Solution :As dipole monent of `H_(2)O`is the resultant of the two vactors(O-H BONDS), therefore ,if `ALPHA ` is the angle
between the two vactors , then
`mu=sqrt(mu_(1)^(2) + mu_(2)^(2) + 2mu_(1) mu_(2) cos alpha )`
`mu_(H_(2)O=sqrt(mu_(OH)^(2) + mu_(OH)^(2) + 2mu_(OH)^(2) cos alpha ))`
`1.84 = sqrt((1.5)^(2) + (1.5)^(2)+2 (1.5)^(2) cos alpha)`
or`3.3856 = 2.25 + 2.25 + 4.50 cos alpha or cos alpha= -0.2476`
or `alpha = 104^(@) 20'[cos (180 - THETA )= - cos theta, i.e.,cos (180 - alpha ) = 0.2476 or 180 - alpha = 75^(@)40']`

The observed bond length of N_(2)^(+) is larger than N_(2) while the bond length in NO^(+) is less than in NO. Why?

Answer»

Solution :(a) By molecular orbital theory , the bond order of both `N_(2)^(+)` is `2.5` where as `N_(2) " is " 3`.
`N_(2)` has `5e^(-)` in the anti - bonding molecular where as `N_(2)^(+)` has `4e^(-)` in the anti - bonding molecular orbital so `N_(2)^(+)` will make a STRONGER and shorter bond length .
More the bond order and bond STRENGTH and lesser will be the bond length.
So we can easily CONCLUDE `N_(2)` has more bond length that `N_(2)`.
Bond order in `= N_(2) = (N_(b) - N_(a))/2 = (10 - 4)/ 2= 6/2 = 3`
Bond order in ` = N_(2) = (N_(b) - N_(a))/2 = (9 - 4)/ 2 = 5/2 = 2.5`
So `N_(2)` is more stable that `N_(2)^(+)` but bond length `N_(2)^(+)` is greater than `N_(2)`.
(b) ` NO^(+) & NO ` :
Bond order of NO = `2.5`
Bond order of `NO^(+) = 3`
Due to lesser bond order in NO the bond length is greater than `NO^(+) `. So `NO^(+)` bond length is shorter than NO bond length.
39.

The observed bond length of N_(2)^(+) is larger than N_(2) while the bond length in NO^(+) is less than in NO. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) (i) By molecular orbital theory, the bond order of both `N_(2)^(+)` is 2.5 whereas `N_(2)` is 3.
(II) `N_(2) has 5e^(-)` in the antibonding molecular orbital whereas `N_(2)^(+) has 4E^(-)` in the antibonding molecular orbital. So `N_(2)^(+)` will make a stronger and shorter bond lenght.
9iii) More the bond order and bond strength, and lesser will be the bond length
So we can easily conclude `N-(2)` has more bond length than `N_(2)`
Bond order in `N_(2) = (N_(b)-N_(a))/(2)=(10 -4)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3`
Bond order in `N_(2)^(+)=(N_(b)-N_(a))/(2)=(9-4)/(2)=(5)/(2)=2.5`
So, `N_(2)` ismore stable than `N_(2)^(+)`. But bond length `N_(2)^(+)` is greater than `N_(2)`.
(b) `NO^(+)` & NO
Bond order of NO = 2.5
Bond order of `NO^(+) =3`
Due to lesser bond order in NO, the bond length is greater than `NO^(+)`
So, `NO^(+)` bond lenght is shorter than NO bond lenght.
