Solutions of Short Questions-Answers Test # 1

 

Q1. Write down short note on subatomic particles.

Answer

Subatomic Particles

More than 100 subatomic particles have been discovered such as electron, proton, neutron, positron, mesons, hyperons, neutrino, antineutrino, muon etc.

 

Fundamental particles

Out of 100 subatomic particles, only electron, proton and neutron are considered to be fundamental particles of an atom as they play an important role for the determination of physical and chemical properties of element.

 

Almost all of the mass of an atom exists in nucleus and nucleus was discovered by Rutherford (in 1911 A.D.). Except protium (lightest isotope of hydrogen), nuclei of all other atoms contain neutrons.

Q3. Complete and balance the following nuclear reactions:




 

Q4. What is quantum and photon? Write down main points of quantum theory.

Quantum

The emission or absorption of energy (light) occurs in small packets of energy or specified amount called quanta which is defined as the smallest unit of radiation energy which can exist independently.

 

Photon

A quantum of radiant energy in the form of light is called Photon.

 

Basic Postulates of PQT

This theory explains the nature of light in terms of Quanta which is the smallest unit of radiation energy.

 

1.Atoms cannot absorb or emit energy continuously.

2.  The emission or absorption of energy (light) occurs in small packets of energy called quanta.

3.   The amount of energy of quantum is directly proportional to the frequency of the radiations emitted or absorbed by the body. i.e.

E 𝛂 u or E = hu (This is called as Planck’s equation)

Where,

E = Energy gained or lost by body.

h = Planck’s constant  =  6.625 x 10–34 J.s (6.625 x 10–27 Ergs.sec).

u = Frequency of radiation


Q5. What is radioactivity? How was this process discovered? Write down contribution of Marie Currie and Pierre Currie. Describe an experiment to separate 3 types of nuclear radiations.

Definition

Radioactivity is the nuclear phenomenon in which there is a spontaneous and continuous emission of nuclear radiations from atom whose atomic number is greater than 83 due to the splitting of atomic nuclei.

 

Discovery and First Radioactive element discovered

The phenomenon of radioactivity was discovered by a French professor, Henry Becquerel in 1896 A.D. while working on uranium mineral called Pitch-blende (an oxide of uranium; U3O8). He observed that there was continuous emission of some invisible radiations which producing bright spots on (fogging) photographic plates, ionizing gases, penetrating through thin metal sheets and producing fluorescence on zinc sulphide screen. This process of emitting invisible radiations was termed as radioactivity.

 

Discovery polonium and radium By Marie Currie and Pierre Currie

Marie Currie and her husband, Pierre Currie isolated the radioactive component of the pitch blend mineral and separated two new radioactive elements polonium and radium.

 

Experiment for Separation and Detection of Radiation

To study the nature of radiations, Rutherford placed a small piece of radioactive material is in a Lead Block having a small hole in it. The radiations emitted by radioactive substance were passed through an electric field. (In fact, they are first subjected to pass through a vacuum chamber with a photographic plate in which a magnetic or electric field is applied).




 

Derivation of Radius of the nth Bohr’s Orbit for Hydrogen-Like Atoms


Assumptions for Simple Atom

To derive an expression for radius, consider a hydrogen atom (or hydrogen-like atoms such as He+, Li2+, Be3+, B4+, C5+) with atomic number equal to Z consisting of a single electron with charge –e and mass m revolving around the nucleus of charge +Ze (+e is charge of proton) with a tangential velocity v in the orbit whose radius is r.

Now revolving electron is being acted upon simultaneously by the following two types of forces;




(i) Electrostatic force of Attraction / Centripetal Force

According to Coulomb’s law, the electrostatic force of attraction (Fe) between the nucleus of charge ‘+Ze’ and electron of charge ‘–e’ separated by a distance ‘r’ is given by:






Where ‘K’ is proportionality constant. It is equal to 1/4πεor2

Hence attractive force between nucleus and electron can be written as






(ii) Centrifugal Force

This Coulombic force of (Fc) supplies the centrifugal force to keep the electron in an orbit and is given by:





Equating Fe and Fc

To keep the electron in the same orbit, these two opposite forces must be equal to each other i.e.




Determination of v2 of electron by using Bohr’s Postulate

According to Bohr’s postulate, angular momentum of electron revolving around the nucleus is an integral multiple of h/2p.





Calculation of Radius (r)

Substituting the value v2 from equation (ii) in equation (i)






Where

h    = Planck’s constant = 6.625 x 10−34 J.s

me = Mass of electron = 9.11 x 10−31 kg

e    = Charge of electron = 1.602 x 10−19 C

𝛆= Vacuum permittivity constant = 8.84 x 10−12 C2/J.m

 

Calculation of nth Bohr’s orbit (rn)

Assembling all constants in equation (iii), we get



Where a is known as Bohr’s constant or Bohr radius and its value is 0.529 x 10−8 cm or 0.529 Å or 0.0529nm or 52.9 pm. This is the radius of the first orbit of H. This equation is used for the determination of nth orbit of hydrogen atom and hydrogen like ions like He+, Li2+ etc. 


The above equation shows that radius of orbit is directly proportional to the square of the principal quantum numbers (r α ni.e. 1, 2, 3, ……..) and inversely proportional to atomic number. As the value of n increases, the radius of the orbit will increase.

 






 

Derivation of Energy of the nth Bohr’s Orbit


Basic of Derivation

The total energy of an electron revolving in any orbit around the nucleus is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy given by,

Etotal = K.E + PE ……………….(i)

 

Calculation of K.E

The K.E. of electron with mass m revolving around the nucleus with velocity v is given by the following expression;





Now the centrifugal and centripetal forces upon the revolving electron are given as:



At uniform circular equilibrium motion, these two opposite forces must be equal to each other i.e.






Calculation of P.E.

P.E is the work done in bringing the electron from infinity to a point at a distance r from nucleus and can be calculate as

P.E =work done = −force x displacement = −Fe x r





Here negative sign indicates that P.E decreases when electron is brought form infinity to a point at a distance r. Here negative sign indicates a net attractive interaction, giving algebraically lower energy at shorter distance.


Calculation of Total Energy

Etotal = K.E + PE















Here K is a factor assembled by various constant present in energy equation. Its value is 2.18 x 10−18 J/atom or 1312.8 kJ/mol 


E is always negative. Negative sign shows that the electron is bound to the atom and energy must be spent in order to remove it from the orbit. 

All energy states are bound states as the negative sign indicates. When n = 1; this corresponds to electron at the closest possible distance from the nucleus and at its lowest energy and is called ground state energy. All energy states with value of n higher than 1 are termed as excited states. When n = α then E = 0; which means that the system is unbound and the electron is free. 


It should be noted that the energy is increasing as the n (orbits) increasing; however the difference of energy between two orbits is decreasing. 



Conclusion

If total energy = − x

Then

KE = + x

PE = − 2x 



 

2.12 Expression for ∆E of Electronic Transition between Orbits

 

Calculation of ∆E

Let E1 be the energy of n1 orbit and E2 is for n2 orbit.

 Emitted energy = ∆E = E2 – E1



 

But,









This equation is used for determining the emission or absorption of energy when electron jumps from one orbit to another

But,


To calculate the frequency (u) of emitted radiations (or photons there in); let us make use of the Bohr’s postulate; according to which:


hu = ∆E = E2 – E1
