Comprehension
If a discharge is passed through hydrogen gas (H 2) at low pressure, some hydrogen atoms are
formed, which emits light in the visible region. The light can be studied with a spectrometer and is
found to comprise a series of lines of different wavelengths. The lines become increasingly close
together as the wavelength decreases until the continuum is reached. Sommerfield explained the
splitting of lines by assuming that some of the orbits were elliptical, and that they processed in
space around the nucleus. For the orbit closest to the nucleus the principle quantum number n =
1, and this is a circular orbit. For the next orbit n = 2, both circular and elliptical orbits are
possible. To define an elliptical orbit a second quantum number k is required. The shape of ellipse
is defined by the ratio of the major and minor axis. Thus,
major axis n
=
minor axis k
where, k is called azimuthal quantum number and may have values from 1, 2,…n. Thus for n = 2,
n/k may have values 2/2 (circular) and 2/1 (elliptical orbit). The presence of these extra orbits
which have slightly different energies from each other accounts for the extra lines in the spectrum
revealed under high resolution. The original quantum number k now has been replaced by a new
quantum number l , where l = k – 1.

A covalent bond, in which electrons are shared unequally and the bonded atoms acquire a partial
positive and negative charge, is called a polar covalent bond. Bond polarity is described in terms
of ionic character which usually increases with increasing difference in the electronegativity
between bonded atoms. The polarity of a molecule is indicated in terms of dipole moment ().
Similarly in ionic bond, some covalent character is introduced because of the tendency of the
cation to polarise the anion. The magnitude of covalent character in the ionic bond depends upon
the extent of polarization caused by cations.
In general:
It’s a vector quantity and is defined as the product of distance between two heteronuclei and
partial charge, developed on any of the two heteronuclei atoms. For example,
+ 
H Cl
l 
Dipole moment  = l x e
(i) Smaller the size of cation, larger is its polarizing power.
(ii) Larger the anion, more will be its polarisabilty.
(iii) Among two cations of similar size, the polarizing power of cations with pseudo-noble gas
configuration (ns2np6nd10) is larger than cation with noble gas configuration (ns 2np6) e.g.
polarizing power of Ag+ is more than K+.

The successive energies required to create more highly charged ions, M 2+, M3+ … which are the
second, third… ionisation energies. The value of energies always increase with the degree of
ionization. When electrons are removed from the same shell, then one less electron left to repel
the others. The magnitude of the charge depends on the size of the orbital of electron. Electrons
in smaller orbitals are on average close with each-other and have more repulsion. Thus with
Be(2s2) the first two ionisation energies are 9.3 and 18.2 eV, whereas with Ca(4s 2) the values are
6.1 and 11.9 eV.

Board Type Questions

1. In a f subshell, 14 electrons can be accommodated, out of which 7 will have clockwise

spin. This is because an orbital can accommodate two electrons with opposite spin.

2. Bohr’s atomic model imposed the following restriction on the Rutherford model of atom.
Not all orbtits are allowed, only those are allowed in which the energy of the electrons in
quantized and angular momentum of electrons is an integral multiple of h/2.

3. Atomic number of oxygen = 8

\ no. of protons = 8
Charge on a proton = 1.602  1019 coulombs
\ Charge carried by oxygen nucleus
= 8  1.602  1019 = 1.2816  1018 coulombs

4. An atom may lose or gain electrons, but the number of protons remains constant till be
same atom exists.

5. The difference of energy is maximum between the first and the second orbit. As the value
of the principle quantum number increases, the difference between two successive orbits
decreases, after a certain value, the energy levels are so closely spaced that they seem
to all continuous.

6. The electric bulb emits light discontinuously but it appears to us to be continuously

coming. This is because the rate of emission of photons of light is very high of the order
of millions of photons per second (but the human eye can record discontinuity in events
occurring only upto 16 times per second). This discontinuity in the case of the radiations
of light coming from the electric bulb is too small to be recorded by human eye.
Consequently light appears as if is being continuously emitted.

7. H3O+ has pyramidal shape because O is surrounded by 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair.

8. CaF2 is neither linear nor bent because it is an ionic compound and ionic bond is non
directional.

9. MgO has a higher lattice energy because each ion carries two unit charges whereas in
NaCl, each ion carries one unit charge.

10. NaCl is an ionic compound an hence gives Cl ions in the solution which combines with
Ag+ ions given by AgNO3 to form a white precipitate of AgCl but CCl 4 is a covalent
compound and does not give Cl ions.

11. C2H2 > BF3 > CH4 > NH3 > H2O

12. In NF3, N has the hybridization sp3 with one position occupied by lone pair of electrons
but in BF3, B has the hybridization sp2.

13. The jump in IE are notices when the successive removal of electron occurs from different
shells. In alkali metals (ns 1) removal of I and II electrons occurs from n, (n – 1) shells
 respectively and thus shows a jump in IE 2 values. This condition occurs during the
removal of II and III electrons from alkaline earth metals (ns 2).

14. Since nitrogen atom has half filled p-orbitals hence it gets extra stability and has little
tendency to accept the electron. Therefore the electron affinity of nitrogen is lower than
that of carbon.

15. The noble gases group 0 or 18, have valence 8 electrons.

16. The electron affinity of a positive ion is merely the addition of an electron to that of ion,
therefore it is opposite of the ionization potential of the species with one lower positive
charge.

17. No element has a negative ionization potential that is all elements require energy to
remove an electron from a gaseous atom to form a gaseous ion.

18. Since loss of electron is oxidation and gain of electrons is reduction, the species which
lose electrons easily are good reducing agents. The electropositive elements have
greater tendency to lose electrons, therefore they are good reducing agents.

molecules.
