D. As wavelength decreases, the lines of the series converge.

(A) B, C, D

(B) A, B, D

(C) A, C, D

(D) A, B, C
Solution:

A. is correct since the series studied in H-spectrum, including Balmer series, are de-excitation series or emission series. So,
electrons get de-excited to n = 2 which means that = 2.

B. It is possible to obtain i.e. from the formula above, but since the question has stated the formula for the Balmer series,
has been fixed as 2. So, it is not possible to calculate i.e. from it. To calculate i.e., we’ll have to put = 1, which
isn’t possible here.

C.

With fixed as 2, increases as nhigher is increased. So, the last line of the Balmer series, i.e. from infinity to n = 2,
will have the maximum energy in the series and thus, the lowest wavelength. Similarly, the first line in the series, i.e. from n =
3 to n = 2 will have the lowest energy in the series and thus, the highest wavelength. Which makes this statement correct.

D. As orbits with higher orbit number or those that are further away from the nucleus are considered, the energy gap in-
between subsequent orbits decreases. Now, consider the following for example and with fixed as 2.

Energy of a photon released on transition from n = 100 to n = 2 will have similar energy to that of the photon that gets
released on transition from n = 101 to n = 2, because energy of the 100th and the 101th orbit will be very close in value. That
means they will also have very close values of wavelengths, which further implies that these two lines will be situated quite
close to each other on the photographic plate.

In a similar fashion, we can see that as the increases, the lines start to converge together. And since, increasing the
will indeed lead to an increase in the energy of the photon released, it will end up releasing photons of shorter
wavelengths. Combining these two statements we can easily see that as the wavelength decreases, the spectral lines start to
converge.

electron at the same time which is not possible according to Heisenberg’s principle.
Q40: Given below are two statements.

Statement I: According to Bohr’s model of an atom, qualitatively the magnitude of velocity of

electron increase with decrease in positive charges on the nucleus as there is no strong hold
on the electron by the nucleus.

Statement II: According Bohr’s model of an atom, qualitatively the magnitude of velocity of
electron increases with decrease in principal quantum number.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options
given below:
(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

(C) Statement I is false, but Statement II is true

(D) Statement I is true, but Statement II is false

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

(C) Statement I is false, but Statement II is true

(D) Statement I is true, but Statement II is false

Solution:

Velocity of electron in Bohr’s atom is given by

Z = atomic number of atom, corresponds to +ve charge on nucleus. So, as Z increases, velocity increases. So, statement-I is
wrong.

And as ‘n’ decreases, velocity increase. So, statement-II is correct.

Q53: Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled
as Reason R.

Assertion A: Energy of 2s orbital of hydrogen atom is greater than that of 2s orbital of lithium.

Reason R: Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decrease with increase in the atomic

(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

(C) A is true but R is false.

(D) A is false but R is true.

Solution:

As the atomic number increases then the potential energy of electrons present in the same shell becomes more and more
negative. And therefore total energy also becomes more negative.

Therefore, energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decrease with increase in atomic number. Hence, both assertion and
reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
