(i) The model could not explain the spectra of atom containing more than one electron.(ii) It was observed that in the presence of a magnetic field, each spectral line gets split into closely

spaced lines. This phenomenon, known as Zeeman effect, could not be explained by Bohr’s model. (iii) de-Broglie suggested that electron has dual character. It has particle as well as wave nature. Bohr

had treated electron only as a particle.(iv) According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, it is impossible to determine simultaneously the

exact position and the momentum of a small moving particle like an electron. The postulate of Bohr that electrons move in well defined orbits around the nucleus is not valid.

P, S, Cl, FExplain your answer.

Sol.Electron gain enthalpy generally becomes more negative across a period as we move from left to right. Within a group, electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative down a group. However, addition of an electron to the 2p orbital leads to greater repulsion than adding an electron to the larger 3p orbital. Hence, the element with most negative electron gain enthalpy is chlorine; the one with the least negative electron gain enthalpy is phosphorus

ways overlapping of atomic orbitals(b) It is formed when two s-orbitals overlap or

attractive forces during the approach of two He atoms. As a result, the energy of the system increases which leads to instability. Since the energy of the individual He atoms is smaller than that of the system when they are close to each other, they stay separate and do not form He2 molecule.

102.Which of the following has a greater dipole moment and why? NH3 or NF3

Sol.NH3 and NF3 molecules both have trigonal pyramidal geometry. In both molecules, N is the central atom with a lone pair of electrons. But in NH3, the bond dipoles (moments) are pointing towards N-atom while in NF3, bond moment points away from the N-atom. Therefore, the dipole moment of NH3 is greater than that of NF3

103.The dipole moment of hydrogen halides decreases from HF to HI. Explain this trend.Sol. In H – X, X atom is more electronegative than H. Therefore, the H – X bond is polar and the direction of

dipole is from H to X. As the electronegativity of X decreases from F to I, the charge separation decreases. Therefore, the dipole moment decreases.

46. Give reasons for the following:(a) Neither q nor is a state function but (q + ) is a state function (b) The dissolution of NH4Cl in water is endothermic still it dissolves in water(c) A Real crystal has more entropy than ideal crystal

Sol. (a) (q + w = u. As u is a state function hence (q + w) is a state function (b) On dissolution entropy increases i.e. S = +ve.

Though H = +ve but if TS > H, then according to equation, G = H - TS, G will be –ve. Hence the process is spontaneous.

(c) A real crystal has more disorder due to presence of defects where as ideal crystal has no disorder. Hence a real crystal has more entropy than ideal crystal.

Step (3) We now balance the remaining N atoms. Add 9HNO3 to what we already have on the left.4Zn + 10HNO3 4Zn (NO3)2 + NH4NO3

Finally, we balance the O atom by adding H2O to one side or the other. So, we add 3H2O to the right. The H atom should also balance.
