Question 11.
What conclusions are drawn for Rutherford’s Atomic model by α-particle scattering?
Answer:
Conclusions of Rutherford’s experiment:

1. Most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil undeflected which concludes that there is a lot of empty space in an atom.
2. Few α-particles were deflected through small angles. Thus, the central part of an atom consists of positive charge.
3. Out of the 20,000 particles bombarding only one particle gets deflected and returns back. Thus, the size of nucleus is very small and rigid as compared to the size of the atom.

Question 12.
Write defects of Rutherford’s atomic model.
Answer:
In 1913 Niel Bohr pointed out some defects in proposed Rutherford’s atomic model:
(i) According to electromagnetic theory whenever an electric charge is subjected to acceleration, it emits radiation and loses energy. Bohr argued that due to rotation around positively charged nucleus, electron should continuously emit radiation and lose energy. As a result of this its orbit should become smaller and finally it should drop into the nucleus.
This however does not happen.
(ii) According to this model the atomic spectrum should be continuous but it is line spectrum.
(iii) This model does not determine the number of electrons rotating in different orbits.

Question 13.

Thus, circumference (2πr) of Bohr’s orbit of H atom is whole number multiple of deBroglie wavelength.

Question 28.
It is impossible to determine the position and velocity of a fast moving electron simultaneously. Why?
Answer:
Electron is an extremely minute particle. Thus, it can only be seen by smaller wavelength light like y-rays or x-rays. For seeing an electron, it is necessary that photon should return back after striking the electron. But after striking the photon, velocity of electron changes. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the position and velocity of electron simultaneously.

Question 29.
Electronic configuration of Chromium is written as 4s¹3d⁵ instead of 4s²3d⁴. Why?
Answer:
Electronic configuration of Chromium in ground state should be [Ar] 4s²3d⁴ but due to presence of 4 electrons in 3d orbital it is incomplete and unstable. If 1 electron of 4s gets excited and goes to 3d orbital then both 4s and 3d orbitals become half filled and achieve stability. Therefore, electronic configuration of Chromium is written as 4s¹ 3d⁵ instead of 4s² 3d⁴.

Question 30.
Electronic configuration of Copper is written as 4s¹3d¹⁰ instead of 4s¹3d⁵.
Answer:
Electronic configuration of Copper in ground state is [Ar] 4s²3d⁹ in d orbital, there are 9 electrons which is an incomplete orbital and unstable. If an electron of 4s get excited and goes to 3d orbital such that 4s is half filled and 3d orbital is a completely filled orbital which is more stable. Therefore, electronic configuration of Copper is written as 4s¹3d¹⁰ in place of 4s²3d⁹.

Question 31.

Structure of Atom Class 11 Important Questions Short Answer Type 

Question 1.
Write Pauli’s Exclusion Principle with example. Write its importance.
Answer:
Pauli’s Exclusion principle : No two electrons of an atom can have the same values of all the four quantum numbers.
Example:

The three quantum numbers are same for these two electrons but one quantum number is different, i.e., spin quantum number. Which proves the Pauli’s exclusion principle.

Importance:
From this principle, number of electrons in a shell or main energy level can be known because the number of electrons in an orbit is equal to the number of groups of four quantum numbers in different combinations.

Question 2.
Explain Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity with example.
Answer:
Hund’s rule :
This rule deals with degenerate orbitals (orbitals having similar energy). It states as, “pairing of electron in the orbitals of a particular subshell (p, d,f) does not take place until all the orbitals of the subshell are singly occupied.”

Question 3.
How de-Broglie explained dual nature of particle?
Answer:
de-Broglie describes the wave nature of electron. According to him, ‘all moving small particles show wave nature’. Behaviour of electron is governed by following funda-mental equations. According to Planck’s wave theory,
E = hυ …(1)
From Einstein’s energy mass relation,
E = mc² …(2)
Where, m is mass of particle and c is velocity of light.
From both eqns. (1) and (2),

or
λ = hmc
Where, λ = wavelength and me = momentum.
This is de Broglie’s equation.
Thus, it is clear that wavelength of any moving particles depends upon its momentum.

Question 4.
Write the main characteristics of Cathode Rays.
Answer:
Characteristics of Cathode Rays :

• Cathode rays travel in straight line with the velocity of light.
• If an electric field is applied in the path of Cathode rays, then these deflect towards positive region.
• A light paddle wheel when kept in the path of Cathode rays start moving which is due to high kinetic energy particles present in the rays.
• These rays ionize the gases.
• These rays strike metals like tungsten and produce X-rays.
• These rays affect the photographic plate.

Question 6.
How are anode rays produced? Write characteristics of anode rays.
Answer:
In 1886, Goldstein used perforated and found that some rays liberates from anode and passes through perforated cathode if electric arc is produced in the discharge tube at low pressure and high voltage. These rays deflects in electrical field and magnetic field in opposite direction than electrons. These rays are called anode rays or positive rays.
Four properties of anode rays :

• Anode rays travel in straight line.
• Anode rays consist of positive residues of the gas left when electrons are knocked out from the atoms of the gas.
• Anode rays are positively charged and deflect in electrical field towards negative plate.
• The charge and mass ratio (e/m) are different from electron. These particles are called protons.

Question 7.
Write the characteristics of Protons.
Answer:
Characteristics of protons :
1. Proton is the fundamental particle of proton by passing an electric discharge through a gas in a discharge tube H⁺ ions obtained are called protons or bombarding electron on H atom electrons is released and H⁺ is obtained.
H+ e^– → H⁺+ 2e^–
1. By taking different gases in the discharge tube positive particles of different masses are obtained. Positive particle (proton) obtained from hydrogen is the least. Thus, proton is the fundamental particle of an atom.
2. Mass of proton is 1.00753 a.m.u. or 1.67 x 10^-27 kg.

4. Charge on the proton is 1.6 x 10 ^-19 coulomb of positive charge. Magnitude of charge on proton is equal to that of the charge on an electron. Thus, this charge is called unit positive charge.

Write Bohr Bury Scheme of filling of electrons in various shells of atoms.
Answer:
Scientist Bohr Bury proposed the arrangement of filling of electrons in various shells:

• Maximum number of electrons in orbit n is 2n².
• Last shell contains 8 electrons and next inner shell will contain not more than 18 electrons.
• Last shell will contain more than 2 and next to the last will contain more than 9 electrons only when inner shells are filled up.
• Electrons are filled up in the next shell only when there are 8 electrons in the last shell.
• It is not necessary that electrons will be filled in the next shell till the electrons are not filled up according to 2n² rule.

Question 9.
What do you understand by Stability of orbitals?
Answer:
Distribution of half filled and fully filled electrons is symmetrical and this symmetry provides extra stability to electrons. Exchange of electrons in orbitals of similar energy takes place in an atom and during this process energy is released as a result the orbital achieves stability. In half filled and fully filled orbitals possibilities of exchange of electrons is maximum. Therefore, these orbitals are more stable.

3. Chemical properties are same.	Chemical properties are different.
4. Number of electrons present in the outermost shell is same.	Number of electrons present in the outermost shell is different.

Question 11.
Write any four postulates of Bohr’s Atomic model.
Answer:
Bohr’s model of the atom is based on the following postulates :
(i) The electron in the atom moves around the nucleus in a fixed circular path called orbits. These orbits are associated with definite energies and are called energy shells or
energy levels. These are numbered as 1,2, 3, 4, , etc., (from the nucleus) or these are
designated as K, L, M, N, ……….. etc. shells.

(ii) The electron can move only in those orbits for which its angular momentum is an integral multiple of the quantity h/2π.
i. e., Angular momentum = mνr = nh/2π
Where, mass of electron = m, speed = ν, orbit or radius = r, Planck’s constant = h, an integer (1, 2, 3, 4, ) = n.

(iii) As long as the electron moves in a given orbit, it does not radiate energy. Hence, the energy of the electron is constant as long as it does not change its orbit. Because of this the orbits are also known as stationary states or states of fixed energy.

(iv) The electron absorbs energy when it jumps from an orbit of lower energy to an orbit of higher energy. The energy is emitted when the electron returns to lower energy state. The change of energy Δ E, i.e., energy absorbed or emitted, when the electron moves from one orbit to another, is given by Bohr frequency equation,
ΔE = E₂ -E₁ = hυ.

Question 12.
Show the difference between Orbit and Orbital.
Answer:
Differences between Orbit and Orbital

Orbit	Orbital
1. Spherical path outside the nucleus in which electron revolves is called as orbit.	The three-dimensional area in space around nucleus in which probability of presence of electron is maximum.
2. The position of mobile electron in shell and momentum is decided more accurately in case of orbit.	In orbital the position and momentum of electron is decided by Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
3. Shows planar motion of electron.	Shows three-dimensional motion of electron.
4. All orbits are circular.	Shapes of orbitals are different e.g., s = spherical.
5. Orbits are of scalar nature.	Except s orbital all shows directional property.
6. In any orbit the maximum No. of electron is 2n2 where n is No. of orbit.	In any orbital there are maximum two electrons.

Question 13.
What is (n + l) rule?
Answer:
1.(n + l) rule : Subshell in which sum of ‘n’ and ‘l’ quantum numbers is less, energy of that subshell is also less and electrons will be filled first in that subshell.
Example: For 3d → n = 3, l = 2
∴ (n + l) = 3 + 2 = 5
and 4s → n = 4, l = 0
∴ (n + l) = 4 + 0 = 4
So, the energy of 4s subshell will be less than 3d and electrons will be filled in 4s subshell and after this 3d will be filled.

2. (n + l) value is equal for 2 or more subshells, the electrons will be filled in the subshell having minimum principal quantum number (n) value.
Example: For2p → n = 2,p = 1
∴ (n +l) = 2+1 = 3
and 3s —> n = 3, l = 0
∴ (n +l) = 3 + 0 = 3
But the value of n for 2p subshell is 2 which is less than that of 3s (n = 3), so energy of 2p will be less and electrons will be filled in 2p.

Question 14.
What are the main defects of Bohr’s theory?
Answer:
Main defects of Bohr’s theory are as follows :

• Bohr’s theory could not explain the spectrum of polyelectron atoms.

• It does not explain dual nature of electron.

Question 15.
What is Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle? Write its mathematical form.

It is possible to adjust the two fields in such a way that the cathode rays strike the fluorescent screen at the same position as they do when no magnetic field is applied. From the magnitudes of electric and magnetic field thus applied, charge to mass (e/m) ratio of electron can be calculated. The value of elm was found to be 1 .76 × 10⁸ coulomb per gram for electron.

Question 21.
What is natural Radioactivity? Explain.
Answer:
Professor Henry Becquerel observed in the year 1898 that Uranium and its com-pounds possess a unique property. Invisible rays are emitted by these compounds, which produce glow on striking the zinc sulphide screen, affect the photographic plate like X-rays and ionize the gases and these rays also possess the ability to penetrate thin metal sheets. These rays are known as Becquerel rays. Madam Curie called these rays as radioactive rays and this property as Radioactivity.

Thus, “Substances which possess the property of emitting active invisible rays are called radio-active substance and this property is known as Radioactivity.”

Question 22.
Explain the difference between shell, subshell and orbital.
Answer:
Shell:
Shell are circular path around the nucleus in which the electron revolve. Electrons can stay only in those shells in which the value of their angular momentum (mνr)
is h/2π or its simple integral multiple.

According to Bohr’s principle shells are spherical. Principal Quantum number of shell is represented by (n). Maximum number of electrons in a shell is 2n².

Sub shell or Sub-orbit:
Each shell is made up of various sub-orbits. Sub-orbits are designated by s,p,d,f Sub orbits are determined by values of l.
For s sub-orbit l = 0, No. of electrons = 2
For p sub-orbit l = 1,No. of electrons = 6
For d sub-orbit l = 2,No. of electrons = 10
For/sub-orbit l = 3, No. of electrons = 14
Maximum number of electrons in various sub-orbits are as follows 2 in s, 6 in p, 10 in d and 14 in f.

Orbital :
Every sub-orbit is made up of orbitals. The three-dimensional region in ‘ space around the nucleus where the probability of the presence of electron is maximum is called orbital. There is 1 orbital ins sub-orbit, 3 inp sub-orbit, 5 in d sub-orbit and 7 orbitals in/sub-orbit. Each orbital can have 2 electrons.
Shape of s-orbital is spherical,p orbital is dumb-bell, d orbital is double dumb-bell and/orbitals are complex.

Question 23.
Explain why?
(i) Particles present in cathode rays are negatively charged.
(ii) Cathode rays rotate the wheel placed in its path.
Answer:
(i) If cathode rays are allowed to pass through an electric field then they deflect towards the positive plates, which proves that cathode rays are made up of negatively charged particles.
(ii) If a light paddle wheel is placed in the path of cathode rays, it starts rotating which represents that cathode rays are made up of particles of high kinetic energy. Thus, cathode rays are made up of material particles.

Question 24.
Explain the principle of filling of electrons in various Energy levels.
Answer:
Aufbau’s principle:
Aufbau is German word meaning ‘building up’. The building up orbitals means the filling up of orbitals with electrons. Thus, this rule gives us a sequence in which various orbitals are filled up depending upon the relative-order of their energies.
According to this principle, the electrons in various or¬bitals are added progressively in the order of increasing energies starting with the orbital of lowest energy. The increasing order of energies of various orbitals is :

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d,4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f ……………

1.(n + l) rule : Subshell in which sum of ‘n’ and ‘l’ quantum numbers is less, energy of that subshell is also less and electrons will be filled first in that subshell.
Example: For 3d → n = 3, l = 2
∴ (n + l) = 3 + 2 = 5
and 4s → n = 4, l = 0
∴ (n + l) = 4 + 0 = 4
So, the energy of 4s subshell will be less than 3d and electrons will be filled in 4s subshell and after this 3d will be filled.

2. (n + l) value is equal for 2 or more subshells, the electrons will be filled in the subshell having minimum principal quantum number (n) value.
Example: For2p → n = 2,p = 1
∴ (n +l) = 2+1 = 3
and 3s → n = 3, l = 0
∴ (n +l) = 3 + 0 = 3
But the value of n for 2p subshell is 2 which is less than that of 3s (n = 3), so energy of 2p will be less and electrons will be filled in 2p.

Question 25.
What do you mean by dual nature of electron?
Answer:
Momentum and wave are generally not associated with some object or energy medium. Particles have momentum due to mass while energy produces waves. Electron is a microscopic particle in motion. Being a particle it has momentum and due to motion it behaves like waves also. Thus, particle and wave character of electron are its dual nature. Other particles like proton and neutron also exhibits dual nature when they are accelerated.

Wavelength of waves associated with microscopic particles can be determined by de Broglie’s equation

Where λ is the wavelength of microscopic particles, h = Planck constant, m = mass of particle, ν = velocity of particle and p is momentum of particle.

Question 26.
What is Balmer formula? How does it explain hydrogen spectrum?
Answer:
In 1885 J.J. Balmer studied emission spectrum of hydrogen. He provided a for- v mula for the frequencies ofhydrogen spectrum in visible region.

Where, value of n is higher than 2, R_H = Rydberg constant.
Putting the value of n as 3,4,5, 6, lines of Balmer series are obtained which are in
visible region. After this in UV region Lyman series, while Paschen series, Brackett series and Pfund series in IR region, are obtained. To explain these lines, Balmer formula is modified as,

Question 27.
Atomic spectrum is known as line spectrum. Why?
Answer:
This type of spectrum is given by atoms of all elements. These consist of various series of thin bright lines of every colour which are separated by black rays. Every element gives a special type of line spectrum and these spectrum gives a specific identity to those elements.
Example : In spectrum of sodium two clear yellow lines of wavelength 5890A and 5896A are observed.If electric current is passed at low pressure through hydrogen gas filled in a discharge tube then a red light is observed. If light emitted in this way is analysed by the help of spectr6scope then a continuous spectrum containing four main lines is observed which are known as H_α,H_β,H_γ, and H_δ. Such type of spectrum in which only lines are present is called line spectrum.

Question 28.
Write the main conclusions of Rutherford’s scattering experiment.
Answer:
Conclusions of Rutherford’s experiment:
1. Most of the α-particles passed through the gold foil undeflected which concludes that there is a lot of empty space in an atom.
2. Few α-particles were deflected through small angles. Thus the central part of an atom consist of positive charge which is called nucleus.
3. Out of the 20,000 particles bombarding only one particle gets deflected and returns back. Thus the volume of nucleus is a minute part of the atom. Rutherford determined that the radius of the atom is 10^-8 cm (1 Å) and radius of nucleus is 10^-13cm.
4. Electrons revolve in great speed around the nucleus. Due to this speed the centrifugal force produced balanced the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the electrons. Due to this balance electron do not fall into the nucleus.

Question 29.
What are Iso-electronic ions? Give examples.
Answer:
Such ions of different elements which differ in charge but the number of electrons are same in ionic state are Called Iso-electronic Ions.
Example 1.

Example 2.
K⁺ and Ca²⁺ are iso-electronic ions.
No. of electrons in K⁺ = 18 Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 8
No. of electrons in Ca²⁺ = 18 Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 8.

Structure of Atom Class 11 Important Questions Long Answer Type

Question 1.
Derive an expression for radius of an orbit on the basis of Bohr’s principle.
Answer:
Bohr’s Radius :
In a hydrogen atom an electron revolves around the centre of spherical orbit. If the radius of this orbit is r and atomic number of hydrogen is Z, then total charge on nucleus is Ze. If a particle moves with constant velocity in the spherical orbit then the centripetal force (force towards the centre) and centrifugal force (force away from the centre) are equal.
Centripetal Force = Electrostatic attractive force between nucleus and electron.

Here h, n, m, Z and e are constant.
On substituting the values
r = n² × 0.529 × 10^-8cm
This way radius (r) of First Bohr orbit (n = 1) of hydrogen is 0.529 × 10^-8 cm.

Question 2.
How is a light ray separates into constituent components by pris? Explain with figure.
Answer:

When a white light is allowed to pass through a prism, then its components gets separated into bands of different colours and wavelength. If a photographic plate is placed on the side of the prism, then the seven colours of light form seven bands which is known as continuous spectrum. In this band, one colour band partially overlaps the other colour band. In it, wavelength of violet colour is minimum but refraction is maximum due to which it bends more and gets refracted and its frequency is maximum. Wavelength of red colour is maximum and its frequency is minimum.

Question 3.
What is Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle? Write its mathematical ex-pression.
Answer:
Heisenberg pointed out uncertainty in determination of two conjugate properties simultaneously. According to this principle, it is impossible to determine charge momentum and charge position of electron simultaneously.
Mathematical form of uncertainty principle,
Δx × Ap≥h/4π
Where, Δx = Uncertainty in position, Δp = Uncertainty in momentum, h = Planck constant.
This equation shows that uncertainty in position (Δx) and uncertainty in momentum (Δp) are inversely proportional to each other i.e.,
Δx ∝ 1/Δp
If the uncertainty in position is reduced any way, its uncertainty in velocity or momentum will increase definitely.

Physical concept of uncertainty principle :
It can be understood by the study of effect of light on micro objects like electrons.
Effect of light on position and momentum of micro objects :

In order to observe an object, the wavelength of the incident light should be shorter than its size. If we use light radiations of higher wavelengths, the light reflected does not fall in the visible region. Hence, these are not visible and exact position cannot be determined. But, if we use radiations of high frequency or wavelength shorter than size of object, the electrons will be visible but the photons of high frequency change the momentum. This is because, the photons transfer their energy to the electrons during collision, as a result the electrons change their path.

Question 4.
What do you mean by quantum numbers? Explain the informations obtained by each quantum number. [Most Imp.]
Answer:
There are four types of quantum numbers :
1. Principal quantum number :
It is represented by n. This number informs about the main shell of the atom. It expresses the energy level and its distance from the nucleus in which electron revolves i.e., it determines the size of atom. The value of n are 1, 2, 3, 4, , means electron exist in K, L, M, N,…. energy levels.

2. Azimuthal quantum number :
It is represented by l. It expresses the angular momentum of electron in an elliptical state around the nucleus i.e., the shape of subshell is indicated.
Value of l may be from 0 to (n – 1) i.e.,
For n = 1 value of l = 0 subshell is one s
For n = 2 value of l = 0, 1, subshells are two s and p.

3. Magnetic quantum number :
According to this under magnetic influence the fundamental line for a quantum number m is oriented in various directions. This orientation means an electron of a subshell due to change in energy revolve in different directions. These orientations are called orbitals and are represented by number m. The possible values of m depend upon value of l i.e., for any value of l the value of m may be – l to + l passing through zero.
For 5 electron, l = 0, then m = 0
For/? electron, l = 1, then m = -1, 0, +1
For d electron, l =2, then m = – 2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

4. Spin quantum number :
It is represented by s. From the observation of various spectral evidences it has become clear that each electron in addition to its motion around the nucleus spins like a top about its own axis. As a result of it, angular momentum of electron is increased hence its energy changes. This spinning energy is represented by spin quantum number.
When there is a single electron in the orbital it spins clockwise and its magnetic field
is expressed as +1/2 or [↑] but when another electron enters the same orbital it spins anticlockwise and its magnetic field is expressed as – 1/2 or [↑]

Question 5.
Describe Bohr model by different spectral lines present in hydrogen spectrum.
Or,
How is Bohr’s atomic theory helpful to explain line spectrum of hydrogen atom? Describe.
Answer:
Bohr’s model of hydrogen spectrum: In line spectrum of hydrogen atom five series of many lines are obtained. In ultraviolet region Lyman series, in visible region Balmer series and in infrared region Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series are found.

In hydrogen atom only one electron is present. Neil Bohr in 1913 explain the pres-ence of different series. According to Bohr, different energy levels of definite energy are found in atom in which various electrons rotate around the nucleus. Many hydrogen atoms are present in hydrogen gas. When same energy is supplied various electrons jumps to higher energy orbitals by absorbing different amount of energy but these are unstable there. These electrons return back to lower energy levels by emitting photons of different frequencies. Due to these emissions, various lines are obtained in spectrum.

When electrons return to n = 1 energy level from higher energy levels like 2, 3, 4; first, second or third lines of Lyman series are obtained and Balmer series obtained when electron return to n = 2 energy orbit from the higher orbits 3, 4, 5 etc. In such a way Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series are also obtained.
Suppose an electron of energy level n,, having energy Ej, jumps to energy level n2 having energy E2. If the frequency of spectral lines is u then the energy difference will be
ΔE = E₂ – E₁

The value of Rydberg constant is equal to its experimental value.
If the value of n1 is being put 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett,
Pfund series of spectral lines are obtained which are accordingly with Bohr’s model.

Question 6.
What is the shape of s,p and d orbital?
Answer:
s-orbital:
Azimuthal quantum number determines the shape of an orbital. If l = 0 then value of angular momentum of the orbital is zero. Thus, s orbital is non-directional and spherically symmetrical. Thus, the probability of the presence of electron up to a definite distance is same in all directions. With the increase in principaL quantum number, size of s-orbital also increases. If value of principal quantum number is n, then in s-orbital n is symmetrically spherical and with the increase in the value of n, energy of s-orbital alsoincreases and number of nodal planes for principal quantum number n is n -1.

Shape of p – orbital : If n = 2 then l=0, 1. For l = 1, value of m are three-1,0,+ 1. It
means p-subshell has three orbitais represented as p_x‚p_y and p_z whose energies are same.
But their orientation is different. p_x‚p_y, p_z are symmetrical in the directions of X, Y and Z axis, p-orbital is dumb-bell in shape. Both the lobes of every orbitai is separated by a plane where electron density is zero and it is called nodal plane.

Shape of d – orbital : For d-orbital l=2, thus five various values of magnetic quan
tum numbers are -2,-1, 0, +1, +2 which are represented as ,d_xy d_yz ,d_zx,d_{x² – y²},d_z² . Their sizes are different but energy is same, Size of three orbitals d_xy,d_xz, d_yz are same but their four lobes represent high electron density. They are of double dumb-bell shape. d_{x² – y²}
orbital is like d_xy, but the lobes are on X-and Y-axis. Lobes of d_z² orbital are on Z-axis. It has a ring representing high electron density which lies at XY-plane.

Question 7.
Explain Quantum Mechanical model of an atom.
Answer:
Concept of Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom :
Louis de Broglie’s hypothesis and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle led to the development of new model of atom called quantum mechanical model.
de-Broglie, on the basis of similarity expressed the behavior of an electron like light i. e., wave and particle nature. He gave a mathematical expression for the wave obtained by minute particles like electrons and protons according to which

Where λ = wavelength of wave obtained from particle, p = momentum of particle,
m mass of particle, ν = velocity of particle.

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle :
Heisenberg pointed out uncertainty in deter-mination of two conjugate properties simultaneously. According to this principle, it is im-possible to determine charge momentum and charge position of electron simultaneously.
Mathematical form of uncertainty principle,
Δx × Δp ≥h/4π
Where, Δx = Uncertainty in position, Δp = Uncertainty in momentmh, h = Planck’s constant.
On the basis of wave nature and uncertainty principle of an electron structure of atom can be explained.

Probability picture of an Electron:
The concept of well-defined orbits suggested by Bohr is ruled out because according to the uncertainty principle the simultaneous determination of position and momentum of electron is not possible. The quantum mechanical model, on the other hand, considers the probability of presence of an electron with a particular energy in certain region of space. The probability of finding electron at a particular part in an atom is given by square of wave function i.e., Ψ² corresponding to that location.

The probability of finding electron may differ from one location to the other and even at a large distance from the nucleus it does not become zero, though it may become negligible. Due to this it is not possible to draw boundary enclosing the region of 100% probability. However, for simplicity we draw arbitrary boundary enclosing the region of maximum probability of 90-95% called orbital. Thus, orbital may be defined as “Region of space around the nucleus where the probability of finding on electron is maximum. ”

Schrodinger Equation :
In this model behaviour of the electron in an atom is de-scribed by an equation called Schrodinger wave equation.

Where, m is mass of the electron,
h is the Planck’s constant,
E is the total energy,
V is the potential energy of the electron,
x, y and z are the three space coordinate.
Ψ (Greek letter psi) is amplitude of the electron wave called wave function.
By the solution of Schrodinger’s equation three quantum numbers n, l and m are obtained which determine the size and shape of electrons.
Value of l may be from 0 to (n-1) i.e.
For n = 1 value of l = 0 subshell is one s
For n = 2 value of l = 0,1, subshell are two s and p.

Question 8.
How does Schrodinger Equation represent the possibility of the presence of electron near the nucleus ? What do you understand by orbital?
Answer:
Possibility of Presence of Electron : Schrodinger Equation keeps into account the particle and wave nature of de-Broglie. Both the principles were given a mathematical form known as Schrodinger equation.

Where x,y, z axis, m= mass of electron, h = Planck’s constant, E = Energy, V = Potential energy, Φ = wave function.
Solution of equation, gives the knowledge of various energy levels, radiated frequency for hydrogen atom which is represented by the symbol θ.

Utility of Wave-function :
In an atom, orbitals of electron, wave function or rihas no physical significance on itself. Square of wave function in a point represents the probability of density of electron at that point. In Schrodinger equation energy level is represented by the square of wave function. Higher the value of square of wave function higher is the possibility of the presence of electron. If the value of square of wave function (θ²) of a point is zero, then the probability of finding the electron at that place is also zero.
θ² is also known as probability density and it is positive. In an atom at various points by the value of θ² can predict the maximum probability of the presence of electron at a place.

By this equation energy of electrons in an atom is quantized i. e., it has certain specific values. Corresponding wave functions related to every energy level is also found. Corresponding wave functions are characterized by a group of three quantum numbers. These are Principal, Azimuthal and Magnetic Quantum numbers. These quantum numbers are obtained by the solution of Schrodinger wave equation. According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle actual position and actual momentum of an electron cannot be determined simultaneously.

Path of electron is not accurate but only possible.. This led to the concept of atomic orbital. Atomic orbit is denoted by Φ. For every electron, such types of various wave functions are possible. Thus, their corresponding atomic orbital are also possible. Energy of electron in every orbit is definite. These orbitals cannot have more than 2 electrons. Region around the nucleus where the probability of presence of an electron is maximum 90-95% is called orbital.

In the stage of H- atom, there is le^– with charge -e and nuclear charge +e, its potential energy can be given as follows :

∴ On the basis of above facts Schrodinger wave equation can be written as follows :
