The energy required by electrons, present in the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom to be excited to second Bohr orbit is ____ Jtext mol^-1. Given: R_H = 2.18 times 10^-11text ergs.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula E_n = -R_H times fracZ^2n^2 Delta E = R_H Z^2 left( frac1n_1^2 - frac1n_2^2 right) ### Core Logic Given R_H = 2.18 times 10^-11text ergs. Convert this to Joules: 1text Joule = 10^7text ergs implies R_H = 2.18 times 10^-18text J. Calculate energy difference per atom: Delta E = 2.18 times 10^-18 times 1^2 left[ frac11^2 - frac12^2 right] Delta E = 2.18 times 10^-18 times left( 1 - frac14 right) = 2.18 times 10^-18 times frac34 Delta E = 1.635 times 10^-18text Joule/atom ### Step 1: Conversion to per mole To find the energy per mole, multiply by Avogadro's number (N_A = 6.02 times 10^23): Delta E_mole = 1.635 times 10^-18 times 6.02 times 10^23text Joule/mole Delta E_mole = 9.84 times 10^5text Joule/mole approx 9.835 times 10^5text J mol^-1 ### Pattern Recognition Energy gaps in Hydrogen: 1 rightarrow 2 transition is exactly frac34 of the ionization energy.

Q70 jee_main_2026_21_jan_morning Hydrogen Spectrum
Given below are two statements: Statement I: When an electric discharge is passed through gaseous hydrogen, the hydrogen molecules dissociate and the energetically excited hydrogen atoms produce electromagnetic radiation of discrete frequencies. Statement II: The frequency of second line of Balmer series obtained from He^+ is equal to that of first line of Lyman series obtained from hydrogen atom. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. textBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  • B. textBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  • C. textStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  • D. textStatement I is true but Statement II is false

Solution

### Related Formula frac1lambda = RZ^2left(frac1n_1^2 - frac1n_2^2right) ### Core Logic Statement I is a factual description of how the hydrogen emission spectrum is obtained. Dissociation yields excited atoms that emit light at discrete frequencies. So Statement I is true. For Statement II: First line of Lyman series for H atom (Z=1, n_1=1, n_2=2): frac1lambda_1 = R(1)^2left(frac11^2 - frac12^2right) = Rleft(1 - frac14right) = frac3R4 Second line of Balmer series for He^+ (Z=2, n_1=2, n_2=4): frac1lambda_2 = R(2)^2left(frac12^2 - frac14^2right) = 4Rleft(frac14 - frac116right) = 4Rleft(frac316right) = frac3R4 Since frac1lambda_1 = frac1lambda_2, their wavelengths (and therefore frequencies) are exactly the same. Statement II is true. ### Step 1: Final Conclusion Both statements are correct. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Structure of Atom

For a 2mathrmp_x orbital, the nodal plane is the **yz-plane** (i.e., at x=0), not the xy-plane. ### Step 1: Conclusion Only statements (A) and (B) are correct. ### Pattern Recognition Nodal planes of p-orbitals are perpendicular to the orbital axis: - p_x rightarrow yz-plane is node (x=0) - p_y rightarrow xz-plane is node (y=0) - p_z rightarrow xy-plane is node (z=0) ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Structure of Atom
