accuracy of 4%, what will be the uncertainty in speed and position?

One of the important implications of the Uncertainty Principle is that it rules out existence of
definite paths or trajectories of electrons and other similar particles. The effect of Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle is significant only for motion of microscopic objects and is negligible for
that of macroscopic objects. It, therefore, means that the precise statements of the position and
momentum of electrons have to be replaced by the statements of probability, that the electron
has at a given position and momentum. This is what happens in the quantum mechanical model
of atom. In Bohr model, an electron is regarded as a charged particle moving in well-defined
circular orbits about the nucleus. The wave character of the electron is not considered in Bohr
model. Further, an orbit is a clearly defined path, and this path can completely be defined only if
both the position and the velocity of the electron are known exactly at the same time. The orbital
wave function or ψ for an electron in an atom has no physical meaning. It is simply a
mathematical function of the coordinates of the electron. However, for different orbitals the plots
of corresponding wave functions as a function of r (the distance from the nucleus) are different.
According to the German physicist, Max Born, the square of the wave function (i.e., ψ2) at a
point gives the probability density of the electron at that point.

(a) ψ× 2

(c) Ψ

(d) ψ2

ii) If uncertainty in the position of an electron is zero, the uncertainty in its momentum will be-

a.) <h/4𝜋

b.) >h/4𝜋

c.) zero

d.) infinite
 iii) …is also known as orbital angular momentum or subsidiary quantum number.
a) principal quantum number
b) electron spin quantum number
c) Magnetic orbital quantum number.
d) Azimuthal quantum number

iv) …deals with the filling of electrons into the orbitals belonging to the same subshell.
a) Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity rule
b) Pauli’s exclusion principle
c) Aufbau principle
d) Werner Heisenberg

Many a time, reactions are carried out with the amounts of reactants that are different than the
amounts as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In such situations, one reactant is in more
amount than the amount required. The reactant which is present in the least amount gets
consumed after some time and after that further reaction does not take place whatever be the
amount of the other reactant. Hence, the reactant, which gets consumed first, limits the amount
of product formed and is, therefore, called the limiting reagent.
i) What determines the amount of product formed in an irreversible reaction?
a) The rate of the reverse reaction
b) The concentration of the solution
c) The amount of limiting reactant present
d) The volume of the solution
ii) In the reaction 2A + 4B → 3C + 4D, if 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then calculate
the amount of C formed?
