Topic 2 : Bohr's Atomic Model

13. Out of the following which one is not a possible energy for a photon to be emitted by hydrogen atom according to Bohr's atomic model? ⇒ (AIPMT 2011 Mains)

A. 0.65 eV

B. 1.9 eV

C. 11.1 eV

D. 13.6 eV

The Correct Answer is Option (C)

En = 13.6 n 2

E1 = –13.6 eV

E2 = –3.4 eV

E3 = –1.5 eV

E4 = –0.85 eV

E3 – E2 = –1.5 – (–3.4) = 1.9 eV

E4 – E3 = –0.85 – (–1.5) = 0.65 eV

Obviously, difference of 11.1 eV is not possible.

16. The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. When its electron is in the first excited state, its excitation energy is ⇒ (AIPMT 2008)

A. 10.2 eV

B. 0

C. 3.4 eV

D. 6.8 eV

The Correct Answer is Option (A)

En = 13.6 n 2

E1 = -13.6 eV

E2 = 13.6 2 2 = -3.4 eV

Δ E = ( – 3.4) – ( – 13.6) = 10.2 eV.

17. In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential V and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius R using a magnetic field B. If V and B are kept constant, the ratio ( c h arg e o n t h e i o n m a s s o f t h e i o n ) will be proportional to ⇒ (AIPMT 2007 )

A. 1/R2

B. R2

C. R

D. 1/R

The Correct Answer is Option (A)

In mass spectrometer, when ions are accelerated through potential V,

1 2 m v 2 = q V ....(1)

As the magnetic field curves the path of the ions in a semicircular orbit.

Bqv = m v 2 R

v = B q R m .....(2)

Now by substituting (ii) in (i),

1 2 m ( B q R m ) 2 = q


q m = 2 V B 2 R 2

As V and B are constants,

q m 1 R 2

B. 13.6 eV

C. 1.7 eV

D. 3.4 eV.

The Correct Answer is Option (D)

En = 13.6 n 2

E1 = -13.6 eV

E2 = 13.6 2 2 = -3.4 eV

Kinetic energy of an electron in the first excited state is

K = –E2 = 3.4 eV.

19. The total energy of an electron in the first excited state of hydrogen atom is about 3.4 eV. Its kinetic energy in this state is ⇒ ( AIPMT 2005)

A. 3.4 eV

B. 6.8 eV

C. 3.4 eV

D. 6.8 eV

A. Assumes that the angular momentum of electrons is quantized.

B. Uses Einstein's photoelectric equation.

C. Predicts continuous emission spectra fror atoms.

D. Predicts the same emission spectra for all types of atoms.

A. K e 2 r 2 r ^

B. K e 2 r 3 r ^

C. K e 2 r 3 r ^

D. K e 2 r 2 r ^

The Correct Answer is Option (D)

The charge on hydrogen nucleus q1 = +e

charge on electron, q2 = –e

Coulomb force, F = K ( + e ) ( e ) r 2

= K e 2 r 3 r

= K e 2 r 2 r ^

22. In which of the following systems will the radius of the first orbit (n = 1) be minimum ? ⇒ ( AIPMT 2003)

A. doubly ionized lithium

B. singly ionized helium

C. deuterium atom

D. hydrogen atom

The Correct Answer is Option (A)

As Radius of first orbit, r 1 Z

for doubly ionized lithium Z (= 3) will be maximum, hence for doubly ionized lithium, r will be minimum.

23. The energy of hydrogen atom in nth orbit is En then the energy in nth orbit of singly ionised helium atom will be ⇒ (AIPMT 2001)

A. 4En

B. En/4

C. 2En

D. En/2

The Correct Answer is Option ()

As En = 2 π 2 m K 2 Z 2 e 4 n 2 h 2

For helium Z = 2. Hence requisite answer is 4En.
