SECTION : D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question
has an internal choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the
passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
31 The spectrum of radiation emitted by a substance that has
. absorbed energy is called an emission spectrum. Atoms,
molecules or ions that have absorbed radiation are said to be
“excited”. To produce an emission spectrum, energy is
supplied to a sample by heating it or irradiating it and the
wavelength (or frequency) of the radiation emitted, as the
sample gives up the absorbed energy, is recorded. An
absorption spectrum is like the photographic negative of an
emission spectrum. A continuum of radiation is passed
through a sample which absorbs radiation of certain
wavelengths. The missing wavelength which corresponds to
the radiation absorbed by the matter, leave dark spaces in
the bright continuous spectrum. The study of emission or
absorption spectra is referred to as spectroscopy. The
spectrum of the visible light, as discussed above, was [1
continuous as all wavelengths (red to violet) of the visible ]
light are represented in the spectra. [1
]
a) State dual nature of matter ( de Broglie equation and
statement ) [2
b) The Spectral Lines for Atomic Hydrogen shown in visible ]
region are in --------------series
c) Distinguish between an Emission spectrum and an Absorption
spectrum.
32 In order to explain the characteristic geometrical shapes of
. polyatomic molecules like CH4, NH3 and H2O etc., Pauling
introduced the concept of hybridisation. According to him the
atomic orbitals combine to form new set of equivalent orbitals
known as hybrid orbitals. Unlike pure orbitals, the hybrid orbitals
are used in bond formation. The phenomenon is known as
hybridisation which can be defined as the process of intermixing of
the orbitals of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their
energies, resulting in the formation of new set of orbitals of
equivalent energies and shape. For example when one 2s and three
2p-orbitals of carbon hybridise, there is the formation of four new [1
sp3 hybrid orbitals. ]
