SECTION D
29. Bohr's model explained electrons can revolve only in certain permitted orbits whose angular momentum is integral multiple
of h/2n, associated with fixed amount of energy. Bohr theory could successfully explain stability of atoms and spectrum of
uni-electron species. Hydrogen spectra consist of Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett and P-fund series. Bohr's theory could
not explain spectrum of multi-electron species, Stark effect, Zeeman effect, dual nature of matter, de Broglie equation and
Heisenberg uncertainty principle which lead to orbital concept. Electrons were filled in orbitals according to Aufbau's
principle, Hund's Rule, and Pauli's exclusion principle. Each electron is identified by four quantum numbers n, l, ml and ms
out which n, I, ml was derived from Schrodinger's wave equation.
a) Why is electronic configuration of Nitrogen stable?
b) Describe the orbitals represented by (i) n = 3, I = 2
c) Name two d- orbitals which are on axis.
OR
d) State de Broglie equation. Write its significance.
30. "Electronic configurations and types of elements: s-, p-, d-, f- blocks"
The Aufbau (build up) principle and the electronic configuration of atoms provide a theoretical foundation for the periodic
classification. The elements in a vertical column of the Periodic Table constitute a group or family and exhibit similar
chemical behaviour. This similarity arises because these elements have the same number and same distribution of electrons
in their outermost orbitals. We can classify the elements into four blocks viz., s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block
depending on the type of atomic orbitals that are being filled with electrons. We notice two exceptions to this categorisation.
Strictly, helium belongs to the s-block but its positioning in the p-block along with other group 18 elements is justified
because it has a completely filled valence shell (1s²) and as a result, exhibits properties characteristic of other noble gases.
The other exception is hydrogen. It has only one s-electron and hence can be placed in group 1 (alkali metals). It can also
gain an electron to achieve a noble gas arrangement and hence it can behave similar to a group 17 (halogen family) element.
Because it is a special case, we shall place hydrogen separately at the top of the Periodic Table.

a) Which block of modern periodic table represent inner transition elements?

b) The element with ns2np³ configuration is non-metal or metal?
c) Define covalent radius and Vander Waal radius.
OR
c) What is the difference between oxidation states of s-block and p-block elements?
