According to the Bohr Theory, the third from the red end corresponds to which one of the following transitions in the hydrogen atom will give rise to the least energetic photon ?

Answer»

N = 6 to n = 1
n = 5 to n = 4
n = 6 to n = 5
n = 5 to n = 3

Solution :`Delta E = 13.6 ((1)/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(2)^(2))) Z^(2) eV`
`(1)/(1^(2)) - (1)/(6^(2)) = 1 - (1)/(36) = (35)/(36), (1)/(4^(2)) - (1)/(5^(2)) = (1)/(16) - (1)/(25) = (9)/(400)`
`(1)/(5^(2)) - (1)/(6^(2)) = (1)/(25) - (1)/(36) = (11)/(36 xx 25)`
`(1)/(3^(2)) - (1)/(5^(2)) = (1)/(9) - (1)/(25) =(16)/(225)`
Thus `Delta E` will be MINIMUM for the TRANSITION n = 6 to n = 5

According to the Bohr model, the energy levels of hydrogen atom can be found by making two assumptions. (i). The electrons move in circulr orbit and (ii) the angular momentum of the electron in the n^(th) energy level is quantized to have a value n(h)/(2pi). The levels calculated with nuclear charge Ze, with a single electron in the orbit, are called Hydrogenic levels. Assume that the two electrons in the ground state of a helium atom occupy the corresponding lowest Hydrogenic level.

Answer»

3.4 eV
6.8 eV
13.6 eV
27.2 eV

Solution :For singly ionised He atom, ground state energy is
`((-Ze^(2))/(2R))=-54.4eV`
`(-2e^(2))/(2r)=-54.4eV`
`(e^(2))/(2r)=27.2eV`
`therefore` Minimum REPULSIVE energy =27.2eV

According to molecular orbital theory

Answer»

`C_(2)^(2-)` is expected to be diamgnetic
`O_(2)^(2+)` is expected to have a longer bond length then `O_(2)`
`N_(2)^(+) and N_(2)^(-)` have the same ORDER
`He_(2)^(+)` has the same energy as TWO isolated. He atoms

Solution :In `C_(2)^(2-)` , total number of electrons = 14 (even)
Hence , it is diamagnetic
`O_(2)^(2+)` has bond order = 3 ,`O_(2)` has bond order
= 2.5 . Hence , bond length in `O_(2)^(2+)` is LESS than
that in `O_(2)` .
Bond order of `N_(2)^(+)` = Bond order of `N_(2)^(-) = 2.5`
Bond order of `He_(2)^(+) = (1)/(2)` ,i.e., it exists . Hence ,
some energy is relesed when `He_(2)^(+)` is formed from
two isolated He atoms.
