Worked practice questions

The radius of the $n$-th Bohr orbit of a hydrogen-like atom of atomic number $Z$ varies as:

  1. $r \propto n / Z^2$
  2. $r \propto Z / n^2$
  3. $r \propto n^2 / Z$
  4. $r \propto Z n^2$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $r \propto n^2 / Z$

From Bohr's derivation, $r_n = \dfrac{n^2 h^2}{4\pi^2 m k Z e^2}$, hence $r_n \propto n^2 / Z$. **Therefore higher orbits are larger ($n^2$) and higher-$Z$ atoms hold their electrons in tighter orbits ($1/Z$).**

Which trend is followed by ionisation energy across a period?

  1. Continuously increases
  2. Generally increases with some dips
  3. Continuously decreases
  4. Has no clear pattern in the standard view
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Generally increases with some dips

1. Ionisation energy rises with nuclear charge across a period. 2. There are exceptions where the configuration is especially stable. 3. Group 13 dips below Group 2; Group 16 dips below Group 15. 4. So the trend is rising overall with small dips at known positions. 5. Hence the general statement 'increases with some dips' is correct. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 5 'Periodic Classification of Elements'_
