Zeros at the end of a number without decimal- point, may or may
not be significant depending on the accuracy of measurement.
14. (c) Assertion is true nd reason is false 1
Explanation:
A body which absorbs and emits all radiations falling on it is called
perfect black body. With rise in temperature, frequency increases.
15. (a). Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is 1
the correct explanation for the assertion.
Explanation:
Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as the size of an atom
increases down the group, this is because within a group screening
effect increases ongoing down and the added electron would be farther
away from the nucleus.
16. (a)Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is 1
correct explanation of assertion.
Expalanation: Ionisation enthalpy increases along a period because
effective nuclear charge increases and atomic size decreases.
17. (i) 1 mole of CuS04 contains 1 mole (1 g atom) of Cu 1
Molar mass of CuS04= 63.5 + 32 + 4 x 16 = 159.5 g mol-1
Thus, Cu that can be obtained from 159.5 g of CuS04 = 63.5 g

(ii) The total numbers of figures in a number including the last digit 1
whose value is uncertain is called number of significant figures.
18. Step I. Calculation of total number ofNH3 molecules
Gram molecular mass of ammonia (NH3) = 17 g = 17 × 103 mg
17 × 103 mg of NH3 have molecules = 6.022 × 1023 ½

Step II. Calculation of total number and mass of protons

No. of protons present in one molecule of NH3 = 7 + 3 = 10 .
No. of protons present in 12.044 × 1020 molecules of NH3 = 12.044 × ½
1020 × 10
No. of protons present in 12.044 × 1020 molecules of NH3 =
1.2044 × 1022 protons
Mass of one proton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg ½
Mass of 1.2044 × 1022 protons = (1.67 × 10-27 kg) × 1.2044 × 1022
= 2.01 × 10-5 kg.
No, the answer will not change upon changing the temperature and
pressure because only the number of protons and mass of protons are ½
involved.
19. Any four postulates as given in the text book ½ x4

20. (a) The ionic radius of a cation is always smaller than the parent atom
because :
o The loss of one or more electrons increases the effective
nuclear charge.
½
o As a result, the force of attraction of nucleus for the
electrons increases and hence the ionic radii decrease.
In contrast, the ionic radius of an anion is always larger than its
parent atom because
o the addition of one or more electrons decreases the
effective nuclear charge. ½
o As a result, the force of attraction of the nucleus for the
electrons decreases and hence the ionic radii increase.
(b) The reason for this deviation is –
o small size of F atom.
o Due to its small size, the electron – electron
½
repulsions in the 2p–subshell are comparatively
large.
o Hence the incoming electron is not accepted with
the same ease as is the case with larger Cl atom. ½
o Consequently, electron gain enthalpy of Cl is more
negative than that of F.
21. (a) No of molecule = mass x NA / Molar mass ½

= 24.088 x 1023 molecule

= 48.176 1023 molecule
22. 1

23. (a)
(i) The ionization enthalpy, among other things, depends upon the
type of electron to be removed from the same principal shell.
o Be : 1s2 2s2
½
 The outermost electron is present in 2s-orbital
o B : 1s2 2s2 2p1
 It is present in 2p-orbital.
 Since 2s-electrons are more strongly attracted by the
nucleus than 2p-electrons,
 Therefore, lesser amount of energy is required to ½
knock out a 2p-electron than a 2s-electron.

(ii) N :1s2 2s2 2p 1x 2p y 2p 1z
2p-orbitals are exactly half, filled is more
stable
½
 O: 1s 2s 2p x 2p 1y 2p 1z
2 2 2

2p-orbitals are neither exactly half-filled nor


completely filled.
 As a result, ∆iH of N is higher than that of O.
 F: 1s2 2s2 2p 2x 2p 2y 2p 1z . Because of higher nuclear charge
(+9), the first ionization enthalpy of F is higher than that ½
O.
 The effect of increased nuclear charge over weighs the
effect of stability due to exactly half-filled orbitals,
therefore, the ∆iH of N and O are lower than that of F.
 (b) Modern Periodic Law states that, “The physical and chemical 1
Properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic
numbers.”
24. (a) General electronic configuration of Actinoids 1
5f1-14 6d0-1 7s2
(b) Variation of IE along a period.
 As we move from left to right in a period, the ionization enthalpy ½
increases with increasing atomic numbers.

Explanation:
 Across a period from left to right, the nuclear charge increases ½
and the atomic radius decreases.
 As a result of increased nuclear charge and simultaneous ½
decrease in atomic radius, the valence electrons are more and
more tightly held by the nucleus .
 Consequently, more and more energy is needed to remove the
½
electron and hence ionization enthalpies keep on increasing.

27. (a) Na : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Mg :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2.
 First electron is to be removed from the 3s-orbital but
nuclear charge of Mg (+12) is higher than that of Na
(+11).
 Further, 3s-orbital in Mg is completely filled (more stable)
while in Na it is only half-filled (less sable). Therefore, ∆iHl
of Na is lower than that of Mg.

Neon gas configuration
(more stable)

 After the removal of the first electron, Na+ acquires the

more stable neon gas configuration.
 Thus, the second electron from Na is to be removed from
 the more stable noble (i.e., neon) gas configuration ½
 The loss of second electron from Mg gives the more stable
neon gas configuration. Thus ∆iH2 of Na is more than
∆iH2 of Mg. ½

31. (i) any four postulate from the text book ½ x4=2

(ii) In the first oxide, oxygen = 27.6, metal = 100-27.6=72.4 parts by

mass.
As the formula of the oxide is M3O4, this means
 72.4 parts by mass of metal = 3 atoms of metal and 4 atoms of ½
oxygen
= 27.6 parts by mass.
In the second oxide, oxygen = 30.0 parts by mass and metal
= 100−30=70 parts by mass.
½
But 72.4 parts by mass of metal = 3 atoms of metal
∴ 70 parts by mass of metal =372.4×70 atoms of metal
=2.90 atoms of metal ½
Also, 27.6 parts by mass of oxygen = 4 atoms of oxygen
∴ 30 parts by mass of oxygen =427.6×30 atoms of oxygen ½
= 4.5 atoms of oxygen
1
Hence, ratio of M:O in the second oxide = 2.90:4.35=1:1.5=2:3
∴ Formula of the metal oxide is M2O3.

(b) According to Bohr’s model, the electron revolves around the
nucleus in circular orbits. According to de Broglie concept, the
electron is not only a particle but has a wave character also.

If the wave is completely in

phase, the circumference of the
orbit must be equal to an
integral multiple of wave length
(λ)
Therefore 2πr = nλ
where ‘n’ is an integer and ‘r’ is the radius of the orbit
But λ = h/mv
∴ 2πr = nh /mv
(or) mvr = n h/2π
