1. SOME BASIC CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY
1, State Law of Multiple proportion. Who proposed this law?
It states that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the different masses of one of the
elements that combine with a fixed mass of the other, is in a simple whole number ratio. This law was proposed by John
Dalton.
2. State Law of Definite (Constant) proportion. Who proposed this law?
It states that a given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight. Or, the some
compound always contains the same elements combined in a fixed ratio by mass. This law was proposed by Joseph
Proust.
3. State Law of conservation of mass (matter). Who proposed this law?
It states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Or, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is
equal to the total mass of products. This law was proposed by Antoine Lavei
4. Define [Link].u
1/12" the mass of a C’’ atom is called atomic mass unit (amu).
5. Define molar mass
The mass of one mole of a substance in gram is called its molar thas.
6. Define 1 mole.
1 mole is the amount of substance that contains as matijprartisies as there are atoms in exactly 12 gC isotope. 1
‘mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10” atoms. Thi: nuisber is known as Avogadro number or Avogadro
constant (Nx oF No).
7. Define mass percentage.
it is the percentage of each elements present iti')00r/of a substance.
i.e, percentage composition (mass percen’) ofaiyelement = Mass of that element in the compound x 100
‘Molar mass of the compound
Or, Mass percent = Mass of solute, x 100
“Marsef solution
8. What are empirical and moleculai',ormulae?
Empirical formula is the simplest formula which gives only the ratio of diferent elements present in the compound.
But molecular formula is the actual formula that gives the exact number of different elements present in the sample.
9. Find the number of moles and molecules present in 90 g water.
No. of moles(n) = Given mass in gram (w) = 90/18 = 5 moles
Molar mass (M)
No. of molecules = no, of moles x 6,022x 10” = 5 x 6.022x 10”
10. What is limiting reagent?
The reagent which limits @ reaction or the reagent which is completely consumed in a chemical reaction is called
limiting reagent or limiting reactant.
411, Define molarity and molality.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of solution.
i.e, Molarity (M) = Number of moles of solute (n)
Volume of solution in litre (V)
Molality is defined as the number of moles ofthe solute present per kilogram (ks) of the solvent
Anil Kumar K.L , GHSS Ashtamudi,Kollam[[Link]] Page 1[Link]
ie. Molality (m) = Number of moles of solute
Mass of solvent in kg
12. Find the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 4g of NaOH dissolves in 250 mL solution.
Molarity (M) = Number of moles of solute (n}
Volume of solution in litre (V)
No. of moles of NaOH = Given mass/ Molar mass
Volume of solution in L = 250/1000 = 0.25 L
Molarity = 0.1/0.25 = 0.4M
1/40 = 0.1 mol

2. Give the scattering experiment conducted by Rutherfo. 4. w's.4t are the important observations and conclusions
made by Rutherford?
Rutherford proposed an atom model baséc:on his a-particle scattering experiment. He bombarded a very
thin gold foil with a-particles. The gold foil had a circuiur fluorescent zinc sulphide screen around it.
Observations:
i. Most of the a~ particles passed th’ ousif he gold foil without any deviation.
A small fraction of the a-particles was «flected by small angles.
iil, A very few a~ particles (~1 in 20,°¢) bounced back, that is, were deflected by nearly 180°.
Conclusions: From the above observations, °utherfr.d made the following conclusions:
i. Since most of the a-particles passed ‘‘ivough the foil without any deviation, most space in the atom is empty.
‘A few positively charged a— partici were deflected. This is because the positive charge of the atom is concentrated
in a very small volume at the centre called nucleus.
i. The volume occupied by the nucleus is negligibly small as compared to the total volume of the atom.
3. What are the postulates of Rutherford atom model?
Rutherford proposed the nuclear model (Planetary model) of atom. According to this model:
i. Allthe positive charge and most of the mass of the atom were concentrated in the centre called nucleus.
ji. Electrons are revolving round the nucleus with a very high speed in circular paths called orbits.
Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
4. What are the drawbacks of Rutherford atom model?
1. He could not explain the stability of the atom.
ji, He could not explain the electronic structure of atom,
5. What is photoelectric effect? What are its characteristics?
Itis the phenomenon of ejection of electrons by certain metals (like potassium, rubidium, caesium etc.) when light
of suitable frequency incident on them. The electrons ejected are called photoelectrons.
The important characteristics of photoelectric effect are:
i. The electrons are ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of light strikes the surface.
The number of electrons ejected is proportional to the intensity or brightness of light.
Anil Kumar K.L , GHSS Ashtamudi,Kollam[[Link]] Page 2[Link]
ili, For each metal, there is a minimum frequency (known as threshold frequency [vs]) below which photoelectric effect
isnot observed.
iv, The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is directly proportional to the frequency of the incident light.
6. Give the different lines present in the line spectrum of hydrogen atom.
The hydrogen spectrum consists of mailnly five series of lines which are Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett
and Pfund series. Among these lines, the Balmer series is the only series that we can be visible.
Series | Spectral region
Lyman _| Ultra violet
Balmer | Visible
Paschen | Infra red
Brackett | Infra red
Pfund | Infrared
7. Give the important postulates of Bohr Atom model.
i. The electron in the hydrogen atom can move around the nucleus in a circular path of fixed radius and energy.
‘These paths are called orbits or stationary states or allowed energy states.
ji, The energy of an electron in the orbit does not change with time.
il, The frequency of radiation absorbed or emitted when transitivn occurs between two stationary states that
differ in energy by AE, is given by:
v= OE =£-E
hook
iv. The angular momentum of an electron is an integrs! maltipié of h/2n.
8. What are the limitations of Bohr atom model?
i. It could not explain the fine spectrum of hydrogen! atom.
It could not explain the spectrum of atoms cfhiertsa hydrogen.
ii, Itwas unable to explain Stark effect and Zeema> effect.
iv, Itcould not explain the ability of atoms teform raolecules by chemical bonds.
9. What do you mean by the dual nature of mater?

10. Give the de Broglies equation and expl:sii the'S F> Br >|
Anil Kumar K.L , GHSS Ashtamudi,Kollam[[Link]] Page 6[Link]
16, Chlorine has higher negative electron gain enthalpy than fluorine. Why?
Or, Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than chlorine. Why?
This is because, when an electron is added to F, it enters into the smaller 2” shell. Due to the smaller size, the
electron suffers more repulsion from the other electrons. But for Cl, the incoming electron goes to the larger 3” shell. So the
electronic repulsion is low and hence Cl adds electron more easily than F.
17, Electron gain enthalpy values of noble gases are zero. Why?
This is because of their completely filled (stable) electronic configuration.
18, Define electronegativity. How does it vary along a group and period?
Electronegativity of an atom in a compound isthe ability of the atom to attract shared pair of electron of electrons.
It increases across @ period and decreases along a group. So in modern periodic table, F has the maximum electronegativity
and Fr has the minimum electronegativity.
4. CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
4. State octet rule. What are its limitations?
This rule was proposed by Lewis and Kossel. According to this rule, atoms undergo chemical reaction in order to
attain octet of electrons in the valence shell. Or, atoms containing 8 electrons in their valence shell are stable.
Limitations of Octet rule
2) It could not explain the stability of compounds containing less {13i¥8 eréctrons around the central atom. E.g, LiCl,
BeH,, BCL etc
2) It could not explain the stability of molecules containing ord numer of electrons like NO, NO. ete.
3) It could not explain the stability of molecules containinp’moye than 8 electrons around the central atom (i.e.
expanded octet). E.g. PFs, SFe, H:SO,, IF, etc.
4) Octet rule is based upon the chemical inertness of nob gasus, But some noble gases like xenion and krypton form
compounds with F and 0.
5) This theory does not account for the shape of moletvles.
6) It does not explain the relative stability of the’yaolecules.
2. Define Dipole moment. Give its un’
The polarity of a molecule is expressed in .2~11s ¢F dipole moment (u). tis defined as the product of the magnitude
of charge at one end (Q) and the distance betwen the-charges (r).
Mathematically, H=Qxr.
The unit of dipole moment is Coulority nee (Cm). But it is usually expressed in the unit Debye (D)..
3. The dipole moment of Bs zer. Why?
Bef, the net dipole moment is zero, since the two equal bond dipoles are in opposite directions and cancel each
other.
4. The dipole moment of BF, is zero. Why?
In BF;, the net dipole moment is zero. Here the resultant of any 2 bond dipoles is equal and opposite to the third
i
rootnt (++ t= 0
@ “rp »
5. Ammonia (NH,) has higher dipole moment than NF, eventhough F is more electronegative than H. why?
This is because in the case of NH,, the orbital dipole due to lone pair isin the same direction as the resultant dipole
moment of the three N ~ H bonds. But in NF,, the orbital dipole is in the opposite direction to the resultant dipole moment
of the three N-F bonds. So the dipole moments get partially cancelled,

6. State Fajan’s rule regarding the partial covalent character of an ionic bond.
The partial covalent character of ionic bonds was explained by Fajans in terms of the following rules:
4) The smaller the size of the cation and the larger the size of the anion, the greater the covalent character of an ionic
bond.
2). The greater the charge on the cation, the greater the covalent character of the ionic bond,
3) For cations of the same size and charge, the ion with electronic configuration (n-1}d°ns® is more polarising than the
ion with a noble gas configuration (ns np’)
7. What are the main postulates of valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory?
This theory was proposed by Sidgwick and Powell and later modified by Nyholm and Gillespie, The important
postulates ofthis theory are:
1). The shape of the molecule depends on the number of valence she! electron pairs (VSEPRs) around the central atom.
2). The valence shell electron pairs repel each other.
3) In order to reduce the repulsion, the electron pairs stay at maxim distance.
4). Presence of lone pairs of electron causes distortion in the expetied geometry of the molecule.
5) The repulsion between two lone pairs of electrons is different from those between two bond pairs or between a
lone pair and bond pair. The repulsion decreases in the ord. lone pair - lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair
= bond pair.
6) As the angle between the electron pairs increases, the raulsion decreases.
8. Explain the shape ammonia and water [Link]. on the basis of VSEPR theory.
In ammonia, the central atom N has 5 valence electrons (,N ~ 2,5). Among these electrons, three are used for the
formation of bonds with hydrogen atoms and the remaining * electrons stay as lone pairs. So there are 4 VSEPs. Hence the
expected shape of the molecule is tetrahedral. But due. tue presence of lone pairs, the shape is distorted to triangular
pyramid and the bond angle changes to 107°.
In water, the central atom O his 6 :a/ance electrons (<0 ~ 2,6). Two of them are used for the formation of
bonds with hydrogen atoms and the remaining’ ele: trons stay as lone pairs. So there are 4 VSEPs. Hence the expected
shape of the molecule is tetrahedral. But due the presence of 2 lone pairs, the shape is distorted bent or angular or
inverted ‘V shape and the bond angle cares to 104.5°.
9. Define Hybridisation. What are the sonportant characteristics of Hybridisation?
Its the process of inter mixing of atomic orbitals having slightly different energies to form new orbitals having equivalent
energy and identical shape. The new orbitals formed are called hybrid orbitals.
The important characteristics of hybridisation are:
1). The number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals undergo hybridization.
2). The hybrid orbitals are always equivalent in energy and identical in shape.
3) The hybrid orbitals are more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals.
4) The hybrid orbitals are directed to some fixed positions in space. So the type of hybridization gives the shape of the
molecule.
10. Explain the geometry of PCI, molecule and account for its high reactivity.
|n PCls, phosphorus atom is in sp°d hybridisation. So the molecule has trigonal bipyramidal shape with bond angles
120° and 90°.
Anil Kumar K.L , GHSS Ashtamudi,Kollam[[Link]] Page 8[Link]
Veigona bipyramidal structure of PCL.
In PCIs, three P-Cl bonds lie in one plane, at an angle of 120°. These three bonds are called equatorial bonds. The
other two P-Cl bonds lie one above and one below this plane. They are called axial bonds. The axial bond pairs suffer more
repulsion from the equatorial bond pairs. So the axial bond length is greater than the equatorial bond length. So PCls is
highly unstable and is very reactive.

ii) The atomic orbitals ([Link]) of comparabls,enerm and proper symmetry combine to form molecular orbitals.
ii) Atomic orbitals are monocentric, while moieeular orbitals are polycentric.
iv) The number of molecular orbitals formi4 = the number of atomic orbitals combined. ie. if 2 atomic orbitals combined, 2
molecular orbitals are formed. One is called bonding molecular orbital (BMO) and the other is called anti-bonding
molecular orbitals (ABMO)
V) The BMO has lower energy and greater stability than the corresponding ABMO.
vi) The molecular orbitals give the electron probability distribution around a group of nuclei
vii) The molecular orbitals are filled according to 3 rules ~ Aufbau principle, Pauli’s exclusion principle and Hund’s rule
13. Define bond order. How is bond order related to bond length?
itis defined as the half of the difference between the number of bonding electrons (N.) and the number of anti-
bonding electrons (N,)._\.e. Bond order (B.0) = % [Np~ Nu]
{As the bond order increases, bond length decreases.
14, Hezdoes not exist. Why?

Here there are 2 unpaired electrons. So itis paramagnetic in nature.
417. Define hydrogen bonding with example. Explain the different types u H-bonding.

HQ os HQ nHQuncHO,
AoW cn)
There are two types of H bonds- inter molecular '4-bonding and intra molecular H-bonding.
a) Inter molecular H bonding: Its the H bond formed by 4 atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of another
molecule.
bb) Intra molecular H bonding: Itis the H bond for’néd helween H atom and the electronegative atom of the same
molecule.
418, Based on bond order compare the relativ’ stability of O; and 0:*.
The M.O configuration of O; is ois’ o* 15° e£S! a 2s” a2p2” n2px"= n2py’ m*2px'= m*2py"

K),
18, At high altitudes a pressure cooker is used for cooking food. Why?
At high altitudes (heights) atmospheric pressure is low. Therefore liquids at high altitudes boll at lower temperatures
than at sea level. Since water boils at low temperature on hills, the pressure cooker is used for cooking food.
19. Liquid drops assume spherical in shape. Why?
Every liquid tries to reduce their energy by decreasing the surface area. For a given volume sphere has the minimum

6. State Hess’s law of constant summation. Give any 2 applications.
Anil Kumar K.L , GHSS Ashtamudi,Kollam[[Link]] Page 13,[Link]
The law states that the total enthalpy change for a physical or chemical process is the same whether the

The different spatial arrafizemaris of atoms arising due to free rotation around a C-C single bond
are called conformations or conforiners.
5. Which are the different types 0) “anformations of ethane? Among these which is most stable
Ethane has mainly two types of conformations ~ Eclipsed conformation and staggered
conformation. Among these, staggered conformation is more stable. This is because here the electron
clouds of carbon-hydrogen bonds are very far apart. So there is minimum repulsive forces and maximum,
stability.
