Important Points to Remember in Chapter -1 - Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom from Tamil Nadu Board Chemistry Standard 11 Vol I Solutions

1. Bohr’s model of atom:

(i) Frequency of radiation absorbed or emitted during transition: v=ΔEh=E2-E1h

(ii) Quantization of angular momentum: mvr=nh2π

(iii) Energy of stationary states: En=-21.8×10-19n2Z2Jatom-1

(iv) Radii of the stationary orbits: rn=52.9×n2Zpm

(v) Energy gap between two orbits: ΔE=RH1ni2-1nf2

Where, ni and nf are initial orbit and final orbit respectively.

2. De Broglie relation:

de Broglie relation is λ = h/mv = h/p where λ is wavelength, m is mass, v is velocity and p is momentum of the material particle.

3. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle:

Δx.Δp>h4π or mΔx.Δvh4π or Δx.Δvh4πm

4. Quantum numbers:

The electron in an atom can be characterised by a set of four quantum numbers, namely principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m) and spin quantum number (s).

5. Electronic configuration:

(i) Aufbau principle : Once the lower energy orbitals are completely filled, then the electrons enter the next higher energy orbitals.

(ii) Pauli exclusion principle : No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of values of all four quantum numbers.

(iii) Hund's rule: It states that electron pairing in the degenerate orbitals does not take place until all the available orbitals contains one electron each.

(iv) Number of subshells in nth shell = n

(v) Number of orbitals in nth shell=n2

(vi) Number of electrons in nth shell=2n2

(vii) Number of orbitals in subshell = 2l + 1

(viii) Number of electrons in subshell = 2(2l + 1)

(ix) Total number of nodes in any orbital = n  1

(x) Number of spherical/radial nodes in any orbital = n  l  1 where, l = number of angular nodes.
