23. Law of Multiple Proportions states that ‘if two elements can combine to form more than
one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other
element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers.’
eg: Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form two compounds- water and hydrogen
peroxide.
2gHydrogen + 16gOxygen → 18gWater
2gHydrogen + 32gOxygen → 34gHydrogen Peroxide
Here, the masses of oxygen (i.e., 16 g and 32 g), which combine with a fixed mass of
hydrogen (2g) bear a simple ratio, i.e., 16:32 or 1: 2.

 31. According to VSEPR theory:
(i) Shape of a molecule depends on the number of valence shell electron pairs around the
central atom.
(ii) Valence shell electron pairs are of two types – bond pair (bp) and lone pair (lp).
(iii)These pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions in space that minimise repulsion
and thus maximise distance between them.
(iv) The repulsive interaction of electron pairs decrease in the order: Lone pair (lp) – Lone
pair (lp) > Lone pair (lp) – Bond pair (bp) > Bond pair (bp) – Bond pair (bp)
Answer any 3 questions from 32 to 35. Each carries 4 score
32. (a) One atomic mass unit is defined as a mass exactly equal to one-twelfth of the mass of
one carbon – 12 atom.
(b) In a chemical reaction, the reactant, which gets consumed first, limits the amount of
product formed and is, therefore, called the limiting reagent.
(c)According to Dalton’s atomic theory,
(i) Matter consists of indivisible atoms.
(ii) All atoms of a given element have identical properties, including identical mass. Atoms
of different elements differ in mass.
(iii) Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in a fixed ratio.
(iv)Chemical reactions involve reorganisation of atoms. These are neither created nor
destroyed in a chemical reaction.
33. (a) The principal quantum number ‘n’, Azimuthal quantum number. ‘l’ is also known as orbital
angular momentum or subsidiary quantum number, Magnetic orbital quantum number. ‘m l ’
and electron spin quantum number (m s).
(b) n = 3, l = 2 represents 3d
(c) The Schrödinger equation is written as ĤΨ = EΨ. Where Ĥ is a mathematical operator
called Hamiltonian and Ψ is electron wave function.
34. (a)the important postulates of Bohr Atom model
(i) The electron in the hydrogen atom can move around the nucleus in a circular path of
fixed radius and energy. These paths are called orbits or stationary states or allowed
energy states.
(ii) The energy of an electron in the orbit does not change with time.
(iii)The frequency of radiation absorbed or emitted when transition occurs between two
ΔE
stationary states that differ in energy by ΔE, is given by: ν =
h
(iv)The angular momentum of an electron is an integral multiple of h/2π.
(b) Bohr atom model could explain the stability and line spectra of hydrogen atom and
hydrogen like ions (He + , Li 2+ , Be 3+). The energies of the stationary states associated

with hydrogen like species are given by the expression: En =

and radii by the expression: r n = pm

It is also possible to calculate the velocities of electrons moving in these orbits.
35. (a) the roots for 1, 2 and 0 are un, bi and nil, respectively. Hence, the symbol and the name
respectively are Ubn and unbinilium.
(b) Chlorine has higher negative electron gain enthalpy than fluorine.
(c) This is because, when an electron is added to F, it enters into the smaller 2 nd shell. Due
to the smaller size, the electron suffers more repulsion from the other electrons. But for Cl,
the incoming electron goes to the larger 3 rd shell. So the electronic repulsion is low and
hence Cl adds electron more easily than F.
