Atom-2024-2 - (Answer key)
1. The transition of electron that gives rise to the formation of an atom cannot be stable. ii) As the electrons spiral inwards,
the second spectral line of the Balmer series in the their angular velocities and hence their frequencies would
spectrum of hydrogen atom corresponds to : change continuously. Thus, they would emit a continuous
(A) nf = 2 and ni = 3 (B) nf = 3 and ni = 4 spectrum, in contradiction to the line spectrum actually
(C) nf = 2 and ni = 4 (D) nf = 2 and 𝑛𝑖 = ∞ observed. Bohr postulated stable orbits in which electrons
2. An electron makes a transition from n = 2 level to n = 1 level do not radiate energy Alternatively: Bohr’s postulates (Any
in the Bohr model of a hydrogen atom. Its period of ONE of the three) (i) An electron in an atom could revolve
revolution: in certain stable orbits without the emission of radiant
(A) increases by 87·5% (B) decreases by 87·5% energy. (ii) The electron revolves around the nucleus only in
(C) increases by 43·75% (D) decreases by 43·75% those orbits for which the angular momentum is some
3. (B) integral multiple of h/2π (iii) An electron might make a
transition from one of its specified non radiating orbits to
another of lower energy. When it does so, a photon is
emitted having energy equal to the energy difference
between the initial and final states. The radius of the nth
orbit is found as
15. The earth revolves around the sun in an orbit of radius 1.5
x 1011 m with orbital speed 30 km/s. Find the quantum
number that characterises its revolution using Bohr's model
in this case (mass of earth = 6.0 x 1024 kg).
