Q15 / 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 the distance from the nucleus, θ is colatitude and ϕ is azimuth. In the mathematical functions given in the Table, Z is the atomic number and ao is Bohr radius

(I) 1s orbital(i) ψn, l, ml ∝Zao32 e-Zreo(P) Figure
(II) 2s orbital(ii) One radial node(Q) Probability density at the nucleus ∝1ao3.

(IV) 3dz2 orbital(iv) xy -plane is a nodal plane(S) Energy needed to excite an electron from n=2 state to n=4 state is 2732 times the energy needed to excite are electron from n=2 state to n=6 state.
For the given orbital in column 1, the only correct combination for any hydrogen-like species is

  • A
    (III) (iii) (P)
  • B
    (I) (ii) (S)
  • C
    (IV) (iv) (R)
  • Correct answer
    D
    (II) (ii) (P)

Solution

A  IV iv R⇒ incorrect, because, dz2  has no nodal plane.

B  II ii P⇒ correct, because 2s orbital has 1 radial node.

Figure

C  III iii P⇒ incorrect, because probability density for 2p at nucleus is zero.

D  I ii S⇒ incorrect, because 1s orbital has no radial node.

 

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