Which one is the wrong statement ?
- The uncertainty principle is E t h4
- Half filled and fully filled orbitals have greater stability due to greater exchange energy, greater symmetry and more balanced arrangement.
- The energy of 2s-orbital is less than the energy of 2p-orbital in case of hydrogen like atoms.
- de-Broglie's wavelength is given by = hmv, where m = mass of the particle, v = group velocity of the particle.
Answer
(3) The energy of 2s-orbital is less than the energy of 2p-orbital in case of hydrogen like atoms.
Solution
(1) E t h4 is a valid form of the uncertainty principle ⇒ correct.
(2) As per NCERT, half-filled and fully filled subshells are extra stable due to symmetry and larger exchange energy ⇒ correct.
(3) As per NCERT, in hydrogen and hydrogen-like species the energy of an orbital depends only on n ⇒ 2s and 2p are degenerate (equal energy) ⇒ statement is wrong.
(4) = hmv, v being the (group) velocity of the particle ⇒ correct.
Answer: (3)
