Q13 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2017 (Paper 1) · Chemistry

The wave function, ψn, l, ml is a mathematical function whose value depends upon spherical polar coordinates r, θ, ϕ of the electron and characterized by the quantum numbers n, l and ml . Here r is distance from nucleus, θ is colatitude and ϕ is azimuth. In the mathematical functions given in the Table, Z is atomic number and ao is Bohr radius.

For hydrogen atom, what is the only CORRECT combination?

  • A
    (I) (i) (P)
  • B
    (II) (i) (Q)
  • C
    (I) (iv) (R)
  • Correct answer
    D
    (I) (i) (S)

Solution

We have to select only correct combination hence, the option (iv) is correct.

For 1s orbital : ψn, l, m αZa032 e-zra0

Energy needed to excite an electron : from n=2 to n=4

ΔE2-4=13.6 Z2×316eV

Energy needed to excite an electron : from n=2 to n=6

ΔE2-6=13.6 Z2×836

ΔE2-4=2732 E2-6  (hence, true)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
