CASE BASED QUESTIONS
1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The capacities of shells with a given principal quantum number are
fixed by (1) the rules governing the permitted values of the quantum numbers and
(2) the Pauli Exclusion Principle. The permitted values of the quantum numbers
are :
Principal quantum number n 1 to ∞
Azimuthal quantum number l 0 to n–1 (n values)
Magnetic quantum number ml – l to + l, (2l +1 values)
Spin quantum number ms – ½ or + ½ (2 values)
The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in the same
atom may have the same values of all four quantum numbers. It follows that,
for a given value of n, there are 2n2 different sets of values for the quantum
numbers, because l may have the values O, 1, . . ., n–1, and for each value
of l there are 2l +1 values of ml and for each set of values of l and m there are
just two choices for ms.

2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
A hydrogen atom consists of an electron orbiting its nucleus.
The electromagnetic force between the electron and the nuclear proton leads to
a set of quantum states for the electron, each with its own energy. These states
were visualized by the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom as being distinct orbits
around the nucleus. Each energy state, or orbit, is designated by an integer, n as
shown in the figure. The Bohr model was later replaced by quantum mechanics in
which the electron occupies an atomic orbital rather than an orbit, but the allowed
energy levels of the hydrogen atom remained the same as in the earlier theory.
Structure of Atom 33
Spectral emission occurs when an electron transitions, or jumps, from a higher
energy state to a lower energy state. To distinguish the two states, the lower energy
state is commonly designated as n' , and the higher energy state is designated as n.
The energy of an emitted photon corresponds to the energy difference between
the two states. Because the energy of each state is fixed, the energy difference
between them is fixed, and the transition will always produce a photon with the
same energy.
