Q1. The set of quantum numbers for the 23rd electron of chromium (atomic number \( =24 \) ) is- (A) \( 3,2,-2,+\frac{1}{2} \) (B) \( 3,1,+1,+\frac{1}{2} \) (C) \( 3,2,+3,+\frac{1}{2} \) (D) \( 3,3,1,+\frac{1}{2} \)
(A) \( 3,2,-2,+\frac{1}{2} \)
The set of quantum numbers for the 23rd electron of chromium (atomic number \( = 24 \)):
Chromium has an atomic number of 24, meaning it has 24 electrons. Its electronic configuration is: \( \text{Cr: } (Ar) 3d^5 4s^1 \)
To determine the set of quantum numbers for the 23rd electron: – The 24th electron goes into the \( 4s \) orbital. – Therefore, the 23rd electron is in the \( 3d \) subshell.
The quantum numbers for an electron in the \( 3d \) subshell are: – \( n = 3 \) (principal quantum number) – \( l = 2 \) (azimuthal quantum number for \( d \) orbitals) – \( m_l \) can be \(-2, -1, 0, +1, +2\) (magnetic quantum number) – \( m_s = +\frac{1}{2} \) or \(-\frac{1}{2} \) (spin quantum number)
Therefore, the set of quantum numbers can be: \( (3, 2, -2, +\frac{1}{2}) \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) \ 3, 2, -2, +\frac{1}{2}} \)
Q2. In two different H -atoms ( \( A \) and \( B \) ) electrons are revolving in orbits of radius \( r \) and \( 4 r \) respectively. The ratio of the times required for one complete revolution by the electrons in the respective atoms is- (A) \( 1: 4 \) (B) \( 1: 2 \) (C) \( 1: 8 \) (D) \( 2: 1 \)
(C) \( 1: 8 \)
In two different H-atoms (A and B) electrons are revolving in orbits of radius \( r \) and \( 4r \) respectively. The ratio of the times required for one complete revolution by the electrons in the respective atoms is:
The time period \( T \) of an electron in orbit is proportional to \( r^{3/2} \).
For atom A: \( r_A = r \)
For atom B: \( r_B = 4r \)
The ratio of the times required for one complete revolution: \( \frac{T_A}{T_B} = \frac{r_A^{3/2}}{r_B^{3/2}} = \frac{r^{3/2}}{(4r)^{3/2}} = \frac{r^{3/2}}{4^{3/2} r^{3/2}} = \frac{1}{8} \)
So, the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(C) \ 1:8} \)
Q3. The distance traversed by an electron is numerically equal to its de Broglie wavelength. The velocity of the electron is- (A) \( \sqrt{\frac{h}{m}} \) (8) \( \sqrt{\frac{m}{h}} \) (C) \( \sqrt{\frac{h}{p}} \) (D) \( \sqrt{\frac{h}{2(K E)}} \)
(D) \( \sqrt{\frac{h}{2(K E)}} \)
The distance traversed by an electron is numerically equal to its de Broglie wavelength. The velocity of the electron is:
According to the de Broglie hypothesis: \( \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \)
If the distance \( s \) traversed by the electron is equal to the de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \), then: \( s = \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \)
We need to express \( v \) in terms of known quantities. Let’s consider the energy relation: \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \)
Rewriting in terms of velocity: \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot KE}{m}} \)
Given that the distance \( s \) is equal to the de Broglie wavelength: \( \lambda = s = \frac{h}{mv} \)
Therefore, the correct option for velocity is: \( \boxed{(D) \ \sqrt{\frac{h}{2(K E)}}} \)
Q4. The uncertainties in the measurement of position and velocity of a particle are equal. So uncertainty in the measurement of its velocity is- (A) \( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{m h}{\pi}} \) (B) \( \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{h}{m}} \) (C) \( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi m}} \) (D) none of these
(C) \( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi m}} \)
The uncertainties in the measurement of position and velocity of a particle are equal. So uncertainty in the measurement of its velocity is:
Using Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle: \( \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \)
Since the uncertainties in position (\( \Delta x \)) and velocity (\( \Delta v \)) are equal: \( \Delta x = \Delta v \)
Therefore: \( \Delta x \cdot m \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \)
Given \( \Delta x = \Delta v \): \( (\Delta v)^2 \cdot m \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \)
\( (\Delta v)^2 \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m} \)
\( \Delta v \geq \sqrt{\frac{h}{4\pi m}} \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(C) \ \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi m}}} \)
Q5. The ratio of the energies of the electron of H -atom in the ground state and that of the \( \mathrm{Be}^{3+} \) ion in the first excited state is- (A) \( 1: 4 \) (B) \( 1: 8 \) (C) \( 1: 16 \) (D) \( 16: 1 \)
(A) \( 1: 4 \)
The ratio of the energies of the electron of H-atom in the ground state and that of the \( \mathrm{Be}^{3+} \) ion in the first excited state is:
The energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom is given by: \( E_n = -13.6 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \)
For the H-atom in the ground state (\( Z = 1, n = 1 \)): \( E_H = -13.6 \text{ eV} \)
For the \( \mathrm{Be}^{3+} \) ion in the first excited state (\( Z = 4, n = 2 \)): \( E_{Be^{3+}} = -13.6 \times \frac{4^2}{2^2} = -13.6 \times \frac{16}{4} = -13.6 \times 4 = -54.4 \text{ eV} \)
The ratio of the energies of the H-atom in the ground state to the \( \mathrm{Be}^{3+} \) ion in the first excited state is: \( \frac{E_H}{E_{Be^{3+}}} = \frac{-13.6 \text{ eV}}{-54.4 \text{ eV}} = \frac{13.6}{54.4} = \frac{1}{4} \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) 1:4} \)
Q6. The energy of the electron in the ground state of H atom is -13.6 eV . So energy of the electron revolving in the 5 th orbit of H -atom will be- (A) \(-0.54 eV \) (B) \(-5.4 eV \) (C) \(-0.85 eV \) (D) \(-2.72 eV \)
(A) \(-0.54 eV \)
The energy of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is \(-13.6 \text{ eV}\). So, the energy of the electron revolving in the 5th orbit of the H-atom will be:
The energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom is given by: \( E_n = -\frac{13.6 \text{ eV}}{n^2} \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) \ -0.54 \text{ eV}} \)
Q7. The uncertainty in the momentum of an electron is \( 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \). The uncertainty in its position will be \( \left(h=6.625 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\right) \) – (A) \( 1.05 \times 10^{-28} \mathrm{~m} \) (B) \( 1.05 \times 10^{-26} \mathrm{~m} \) (C) \( 5.27 \times 10^{-30} \mathrm{~m} \) (D) \( 5.25 \times 10^{-28} \mathrm{~m} \)
(C) \( 5.27 \times 10^{-30} \mathrm{~m} \)
The uncertainty in the momentum of an electron is \(1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ kg m/s}\). The uncertainty in its position is calculated using Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle:
\( \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \)
Given: \( \Delta p = 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ kg m/s} \) \( h = 6.625 \times 10^{-34} \text{ kg m}^2/\text{s} \)
\( \Delta x \geq \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}}{12.56636 \times 10^{-5}} \)
\( \Delta x \geq \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}}{1.256636 \times 10^{-4}} \)
\( \Delta x \geq 5.27 \times 10^{-30} \text{ m} \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(C) \ 5.27 \times 10^{-30} \text{ m}} \)
Q8. In \( \mathrm{He}^{+} \)ion the distance of the electron from the nucleus is- (A) 21.4 pm (B) 52.9 pm (C) 26.5 pm (D) 105.8 pm
(C) 26.5 pm
In \( \mathrm{He}^{+} \) ion the distance of the electron from the nucleus:
The Bohr radius \(a_0\) for hydrogen is 52.9 pm. For a hydrogen-like ion with atomic number \(Z\), the radius of the \(n\)-th orbit is given by: \( r_n = \frac{n^2 a_0}{Z} \)
For \( \mathrm{He}^{+} \) (\(Z = 2\)), in the ground state (\(n = 1\)): \( r_1 = \frac{1^2 \times 52.9 \text{ pm}}{2} = \frac{52.9}{2} \text{ pm} = 26.45 \text{ pm} \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(C) \ 26.5 \text{ pm}} \)
Q9. The ratio between kinetic energy and the total energy of the electron of hydrogen atom according to Bohr’s model is- (A) \( 2: 1 \) (B) \( 1: 1 \) (C) \( 1:-1 \) (D) \( 1: 2 \)
(A) \( 2: 1 \)
The ratio between kinetic energy and the total energy of the electron of hydrogen atom according to Bohr’s model:
In Bohr’s model, the total energy \(E\) is given by: \( E = -\frac{K}{2} \)
Where \(K\) is the kinetic energy. Hence, \( K = -2E \)
Thus, the ratio of kinetic energy to total energy is: \( \frac{K}{E} = \frac{-2E}{E} = -2 \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) \ 2:1} \)
Q10. The wavelength of the photons of a radiation of wave number \( 8 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \) is \( \left(h=6.625 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Is} ; c=3.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\right)- \) (A) \( 3 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~nm} \) (B) \( 2 \times 10^{25} \mathrm{~nm} \) (C) \( 3 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~nm} \) (D) \( 4 \times 10^{1} \mathrm{~nm} \)
(D) \( 4 \times 10^{1} \mathrm{~nm} \)
The wavelength of the photons of a radiation of wave number \( 8 \times 10^{15} \text{ s}^{-1} \).
Wave number (\( \nu \)) is typically given in \( \text{m}^{-1} \) but here, it seems like the given value is in \( \text{s}^{-1} \), which is the frequency.
The formula to find the wavelength (\( \lambda \)) from frequency (\( \nu \)) is: \( \lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} \)
Given the options, the correct answer is closest to: \( \boxed{(D) \ 4 \times 10^{1} \text{ nm}} \)
Q11. Which of the following ions has the highest value of magnetic moment- (A) \( \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \) (B) \( \mathrm{Sc}^{3+} \) (C) \( \mathrm{Ti}^{3+} \) (D) \( \mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \)
(A) \( \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \)
The magnetic moment (\(\mu\)) for an ion is given by the formula: \( \mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \text{ BM} \) where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons.
Let’s determine the number of unpaired electrons for each ion:
\( \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \): Mn has an atomic number of 25. The electron configuration is \((Ar) 3d^5 4s^2\). For \( \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \), we lose the 4s electrons and have 3d^5, which has 5 unpaired electrons. \( \mu = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92 \text{ BM} \)
\( \mathrm{Sc}^{3+} \): Sc has an atomic number of 21. The electron configuration is \((Ar) 3d^1 4s^2\). For \( \mathrm{Sc}^{3+} \), we lose all the 3d and 4s electrons, leaving no unpaired electrons. \( \mu = \sqrt{0(0+2)} = 0 \text{ BM} \)
\( \mathrm{Ti}^{3+} \): Ti has an atomic number of 22. The electron configuration is \((Ar) 3d^2 4s^2\). For \( \mathrm{Ti}^{3+} \), we lose the 4s electrons and one 3d electron, leaving one unpaired electron. \( \mu = \sqrt{1(1+2)} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73 \text{ BM} \)
\( \mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \): Cr has an atomic number of 24. The electron configuration is \((Ar) 3d^5 4s^1\). For \( \mathrm{Cr}^{2+} \), we lose the 4s and one 3d electron, leaving 4 unpaired electrons. \( \mu = \sqrt{4(4+2)} = \sqrt{24} \approx 4.90 \text{ BM} \)
So, \( \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} \) has the highest magnetic moment.
The correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) \ \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}} \)
Q12. The angular momentum of the electron in the first excited state in H -atom \( \mathrm{is}- \) (A) zero (B) \( \sqrt{2(2+1)} \frac{h}{2 \pi} \) (C) \( \frac{h}{2 \pi} \) (D) \( \frac{h}{\pi} \)
(D) \( \frac{h}{\pi} \)
The angular momentum of the electron in the first excited state in H-atom is:
The angular momentum \(L\) of an electron in a hydrogen atom is given by: \( L = n \frac{h}{2\pi} \)
For the first excited state (\(n = 2\)): \( L = 2 \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{h}{\pi} \)
The correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ \frac{h}{\pi}} \)
Q13. If the wavelength of the line having least value in the Lyman series of hydrogen spectrum be \( x \), then the wavelength of the line having highest value in the Balmer series of \( \mathrm{Li}^{2+} \) ion will be- (A) \( \frac{x}{9} \) (B) \( \frac{4 x}{5} \) (C) \( \frac{5 x}{4} \) (D) \( \frac{4 x}{9} \)
(D) \( \frac{4 x}{9} \)
If the wavelength of the line having least value in the Lyman series of hydrogen spectrum be \( x \), then the wavelength of the line having highest value in the Balmer series of \( \mathrm{Li}^{2+} \) ion will be:
For the Lyman series in hydrogen, the least wavelength corresponds to the transition from \( n = \infty \) to \( n = 1 \). For the Balmer series, the longest wavelength corresponds to the transition from \( n = 3 \) to \( n = 2 \).
For \( \mathrm{Li}^{2+} \) (\(Z = 3\)), the wavelength is scaled by \( \frac{1}{Z^2} \).
So the ratio of wavelengths in hydrogen to that in \( \mathrm{Li}^{2+} \): \( \lambda_{Li^{2+}} = \frac{\lambda_{H}}{Z^2} \)
For the Balmer series, using the longest wavelength (which is 4 times the shortest wavelength in the Lyman series): \( \lambda_{H(Balmer)} = 4 \lambda_{H(Lyman)} = 4x \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(B) \ 1.32 \times 10^{-35} \text{ m}} \)
Q15. If de Broglie wavelength of an electron revolving in the 4th Bohrorbit be \( \lambda \), then the circumference of this orbit will be- (A) \( \lambda \) (B) \( 2 \lambda \) (C) \( 3 \lambda \) (D) \( 4 \lambda \)
(D) \( 4 \lambda \)
If de Broglie wavelength of an electron revolving in the 4th Bohr orbit be \( \lambda \), then the circumference of this orbit will be:
For an electron in the \( n \)-th Bohr orbit, the circumference is given by: \( 2\pi r = n \lambda \)
For the 4th Bohr orbit (\(n = 4\)): \( 2\pi r = 4 \lambda \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ 4 \lambda} \)
Q16. When an electron drops from higher energy state \( (n) \) to the ground state in an atom, the maximum number of spectral lines that can be obtained is- (A) \( n-1 \) (B) \( n \) (C) \( n(n-1) \) (D) \( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \)
(D) \( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \)
When an electron drops from a higher energy state \( n \) to the ground state in an atom, the maximum number of spectral lines that can be obtained is:
The maximum number of spectral lines that can be obtained when an electron transitions from a higher energy state \( n \) to the ground state is given by the formula:
\( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \)
This formula arises because each possible transition between two energy levels corresponds to a spectral line, and the total number of such transitions is the combination of \( n \) levels taken 2 at a time.
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \frac{n(n-1)}{2}} \)
Q17. Wave number corresponding to the spectral line having highest value is obtained from Rydberg equation \( \left(\bar{v}=R_{H} Z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{j}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}\right)\right) \) by putting \( n_{i} \) equal to- (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 0 (D) \( \infty \)
(D) \( \infty \)
Wave number corresponding to the spectral line having the highest value is obtained from the Rydberg equation \( \left(\bar{v}=R_{H} Z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{j}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}\right)\right) \) by putting \( n_{i} \) equal to:
The wave number (\(\bar{v}\)) is highest when the difference in energy levels is greatest. For the Rydberg equation:
The highest value occurs when \( \frac{1}{n_i^2} \) is minimized, which is when \( n_i \) approaches infinity.
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ \infty} \)
Q18. The wavelength of any spectral line for an electronic transition in the spectrum is inversely proportional to- (A) number of electrons undergoing transition (B) nuclear charge of the atom (C) the difference in the energy levels involved in the transition (D) velocity of the electron undergoing transition
(C) the difference in the energy levels involved in the transition
The wavelength of any spectral line for an electronic transition in the spectrum is inversely proportional to:
The wavelength of a spectral line (\(\lambda\)) is inversely proportional to the difference in energy levels (\(\Delta E\)). According to the energy-wavelength relationship:
\( \Delta E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \)
So, the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(C) \ \text{the difference in the energy levels involved in the transition}} \)
Q19. Transition of an electron from \( n=3 \) level to \( n=2 \) level results in a spectral line in the- (A) IR region (B) visible region (C) UV region (D) far infrared region
(B) visible region
Transition of an electron from \( n=3 \) level to \( n=2 \) level results in a spectral line in the:
For hydrogen, transitions to the \( n=2 \) level are part of the Balmer series, which is in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(B) \ \text{visible region}} \)
Q20. The value of uncertainty calculated from the equation \( \Delta x . \Delta p=\frac{h}{4 \pi} \) is- (A) lowest value (B) highest value (C) exact value (D) approximate value
(A) lowest value

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the product of the uncertainties in position (\(\Delta x\)) and momentum (\(\Delta p\)) is at least \( \frac{h}{4\pi} \).
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) \ \text{lowest value}} \)
Q21. In the ground state of \( \mathrm{M}^{2+} \) ion, the last electron has the four quantum numbers: \( 3,2,-2 \) and \( +\frac{1}{2} \). The atomic number of M is- (A) 23 (B) 24 (C) 25 (D) 26
(D) 26
In the ground state of \( M^{2+} \) ion, the last electron has the four quantum numbers: \( 3, 2, -2 \) and \( +\frac{1}{2} \). The atomic number of \( M \) is:
The quantum numbers \( n=3, l=2, m_l=-2, m_s=+\frac{1}{2} \) correspond to a 3d orbital. This configuration indicates that the electron was removed from a 3d orbital. To find the atomic number:
– For \( M^{2+} \), the configuration without the two lost electrons would be: \( (\text{Ar}) 3d^6 \) – Therefore, \( M \) has 26 electrons (since it lost 2 to become \( M^{2+} \)). – So, the atomic number is 26.
The correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ 26} \)
Q22. The velocity of an electron with de Broglie wavelength 66 nm is \( \left(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\right)- \) (A) \( 1.84 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) (B) \( 5.4 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) (C) \( 1.1 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) (D) \( 1.1 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \)

The velocity of an electron with de Broglie wavelength 66 nm is \( \left(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\right)- \
The de Broglie wavelength (\(\lambda\)) is related to the momentum (\(p\)) by:
\( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \)
And momentum \( p \) is related to mass (\(m\)) and velocity (\(v\)) by:
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ 1.1 \times 10^7 \, \text{ms}^{-1}} \)
Q23. The line with highest wavelength in the Paschen series of hydrogen spectrum \( \left(R=109670 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\right) \) – (A) \( 1215 \, Å \) (B) \( 9380 \, Å \) (C) \( 18760 \, Å \) (D) \( 5331 \, Å \)

(B) \( 136800 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \)
The wave number of 1st Balmer line in hydrogen spectrum is \( 15200 \, \text{cm}^{-1} \). The wave number of 1st Balmer line in the spectrum of \( \text{Li}^{2+} \) ion will be:
The wave number (\(\bar{v}\)) for \( \text{Li}^{2+} \) ion can be found by multiplying the wave number for hydrogen by \( Z^2 \), where \( Z \) is the atomic number of lithium (3).
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(B) \ 136800 \, \text{cm}^{-1}} \)
Q25. In the ground state, the radius of H -atom is 0.53 A . So its radius in the 1st excited state is- (A) \( 0.13 \, \text{Å} \) (B) \( 1.06 \, \text{Å} \) (C) \( 4.77 \, \text{Å} \) (D) \( 2.12 \, \text{Å} \)

For hydrogen, the radius of the \( n \)-th orbit is given by:
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ 2.12 \, \text{Å}} \)
Q26. \(X \) and \( Y \) are two isotones with mass numbers 70 and 72 respectively. If the atomic number of \( X \) be 34 , the atomic number of \( Y \) will be- (A) 36 (B) 30 (C) 34 (D) 32
(A) 36
\( X \) and \( Y \) are two isotones with mass numbers 70 and 72 respectively. If the atomic number of \( X \) be 34, the atomic number of \( Y \) will be:
Isotones are atoms with the same number of neutrons.
For \( X \) (with mass number 70 and atomic number 34): \( \text{Number of neutrons in } X = 70 – 34 = 36 \)
For \( Y \) (
with the same number of neutrons): \( \text{Number of neutrons in } Y = 36 \) \( \text{Atomic number of } Y = 72 – 36 = 36 \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(A) \ 36} \)
Q27. In the \( (n+1) \) th quantum shell, the values of azimuthal quantum number ‘ \( l \) ‘ will be- (A) 0 to \( n \) (B) 0 to \( (n+1) \) (C) 0 to \( (n-1) \) (D) 1 to \( (n+1) \)
(A) 0 to \( n \)

Q30. The correct sequence of paramagnetic character of the given metals is- (A) \( \mathrm{Mn} > \mathrm{Cr} > \mathrm{Zn} \) (B) \( \mathrm{Fe} > \mathrm{Zn} > \mathrm{Co} \) (C) \( \mathrm{Cr} > \mathrm{Fe} > \mathrm{Zn} \) (D) \( \mathrm{Hg} > \mathrm{Mn} > \mathrm{Fe} \)
(A) \( \mathrm{Mn} > \mathrm{Cr} > \mathrm{Zn} \)
Paramagnetic character is due to the presence of unpaired electrons. The paramagnetic character decreases with a decrease in the number of unpaired electrons.
\( \text{Mn} > \text{Cr} > \text{Zn} \)
Manganese (Mn) has the highest number of unpaired electrons, followed by Chromium (Cr), and Zinc (Zn) has none.

For \( \mathrm{He}^{+} \) in the \( n = 2 \) state:
\( r_n = \frac{2^2 \times a_0}{2} = 2a_0 \)
For \( \mathrm{Be}^{3+} \) in the \( n = 2 \) state:
\( r_n = \frac{2^2 \times a_0}{4} = a_0 \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ \mathrm{Be}^{3+} (n=2)} \)

For the first Balmer line (\( n=3 \) to \( n=2 \)):
\( \bar{\nu} = R \left( \frac{1}{2^2} – \frac{1}{3^2} \right) \)
\( \bar{\nu} = R \left( \frac{1}{4} – \frac{1}{9} \right) \)
\( \bar{\nu} = R \left( \frac{5}{36} \right) \)
So the correct answer is: \( \boxed{(D) \ \frac{5R}{36} \, \text{cm}^{-1}} \)
Q42. Number of nodal planes of \( f \)-orbital is- (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4

(C) 9
For \( n=3 \):
– \( l \) can be 0, 1, or 2. – For each \( l \), \( m_l \) can have \( (2l + 1) \) values. – Each \( m_l \) can have 2 \( m_s \) values (\( +\frac{1}{2} \) and \( -\frac{1}{2} \)).
The
maximum number of electrons with \( m_s = -\frac{1}{2} \) is half the total number of electrons in \( n=3 \):
\( 2n^2 = 2 \times 3^2 = 18 \)
Half of these have \( m_s = -\frac{1}{2} \):
