Correct statements for an element with atomic number 9 are: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A and B Only
  2. A, C and D Only
  3. A and C Only
  4. C and D Only

Answer

(3) A and C Only

Solution

Z = 9 (fluorine): 1s2 2s2 2p5, i.e. 1s2 2s2 2px2 2py2 2pz1 (any one 2p orbital is singly filled).

A. Four orbitals are doubly filled: 4 electrons with ms = + 12 and 4 with ms = - 12; the unpaired electron can have ms = + 12 5 and 4. Correct.

B. The three 2p orbitals are degenerate; the single unpaired electron may be in any one of 2px, 2py or 2pz, so it cannot be said that pz has only one electron. Incorrect.

C. The last (9th) electron enters a 2p orbital: n = 2, l = 1. Correct.

D. Angular nodes of an orbital = l. Occupied orbitals: 1s, 2s (l = 0, 0 each) and 2px, 2py, 2pz (l = 1, 1 each).

Sum = 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 1. Incorrect.

A and C only are correct.

Answer: (3)

Which of the following postulate of Bohr's model of hydrogen atom is not in agreement with quantum mechanical model of an atom?

  1. The electron in a H atom's stationary state moves in a circle around the nucleus.
  2. An atom can take only certain distinct energies E1, E2, E3, etc. These allowed states of constant energy are called the stationary states of atom.
  3. An atom in a stationary state does not emit electromagnetic radiation as long as it stays in the same state.
  4. When an electron makes a transition from a higher energy stationary state to a lower energy stationary state, then it emits a photon of light.
