SECTION – D

marks.
29. Carefully read the passage and give the answer
The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains, but by the
quantity of each type of atom or ion. The experimental approach required the introduction of a new unit for
amount of substances, the mole, which remains indispensable in modern chemical science. The mole is an
amount unit similar to familiar units like pair, dozen, gross, etc. It provides a specific measure of the number
of atoms or molecules in a bulk sample of matter. A mole is defined as the amount of substance containing
the same number of discrete entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as the number of atoms in a sample of
pure 12C weighing exactly 12g. One Latin connotation for the word “mole” is “large mass” or “bulk,” which
is consistent with its use as the name for this unit. The mole provides a link between an easily measured
macroscopic property, bulk mass, and an extremely important fundamental property, number of atoms,
molecules and so forth. The number of entities composing a mole has been experimentally determined to
be 6.02214179 × 1023.
6.02214179 × 1023, a fundamental constant named Avogadro’s number (NA ) or the Avogadro constant in
honor of Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro. This constant is properly reported with an explicit unit of “per
mole,” a conveniently rounded version being 6.022×1023/mol. Consistent with its definition as an amount
unit, 1 mole of any element contains the same number of atoms as 1 mole of any other element. The
masses of 1 mole of different elements, however, are different, since the masses of the individual atoms are
drastically different. The molar mass of an element (or compound) is the mass in grams of 1 mole of that
substance, a property expressed in units of grams per mole (g/mol).
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:
a. How much gram of ammonia is present in its 3 mole?

the sample?

iii. 4.40 g
iv. 4.28 g
30. Carefully read the passage and give the answer
The minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bounded electron from an isolated
gaseous atom is called as ionization energy or 1st I.E or IE1 of the element. The energy required to remove
the 2nd electron from monovalent cation is called 2nd I.E or IE2…similarly we have third, fourth….I.E. The
values of I.E depends upon the number of factors like (i) size of atom, (ii) screening effect, (iii) nuclear charge
(iv) stability as fully filled or half-filled orbitals (v) shape of the orbital.
In a group, I.E decreases from top to bottom but in a across a period I.E increases from left to right. It
comes to break where atom has extra stability. Similarly the amount of energy released when an electron is
added to neutral gaseous atom is electron affinity (E.A) of the element. Just like I.E In a group, E.A decreases
from top to bottom but in a across a period E.A increases from left to right. It comes to break when repulsion
and size of atoms matters.

a. Amongst these which group has lowest Ionisation potential?
