Q.1 Consider the equation

for the wave function of an electron in hydrogen atom.

must decrease as rincreases

must increase as rdecreases
is a constant function

No such exists

Q.2 The maximum number of electrons in a quantum state of

1s orbital is one
1s orbital is two
2p orbital is one
2p orbital is 6

Q.3

cannot be a valid wave function of a bound particle because

it is a discontinuous function
it blows to in nity at r = -a
it is not square integrable
it is not a complex function (no -1 involved)

Q.4 The z-component of the orbital angular momentum of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is

h/(2)
0

h/(4) or -h/(4)

h/

Q.5 Choose the correct option(s)

An electron has Spin angular momentum because it spins about a diameter

No matter which direction you take the z-axis, the z- component of the spin angular
momentum will be found to be either /2 or -/2
The electron in a hydrogen atom has spin angular momentum but an electron moving
in free space does not have spin angular momentum

All electrons in the universe have spin angular momentum having the same magnitude
3/2

Q.6 A particle moving in a Coulomb potential V(r) = -k/r has a wave function which is a solution of its
Schrdinger equation. It has

a de nite energy and a de nite position

a de nite energy but no de nite position

a de nite position but no de nite energy

neither a de nite energy nor a de nite position

Q.7 The ground state wave function of the electron in a hydrogen atom tells that

the total angular momentum is equal to zero

the spin angular momentum is equal to zero

the orbital angular momentum is equal to zero

the Z-component of the orbital angular momentum is equal to zero

Q.8 Consider three phenomena : (A) Large differences in the electric conductivity in solids, (B) Fusion
in the Sun and (C) Spectrum of hydrogen. Classical physics can explain

A and B but not C

A and C but not B

B and C but not A

All A, B and C
None of A, B and C

Q.9 Experimentalists reported only 4 wavelengths in hydrogen atomic spectrum at the time of Balmer.
This is because,

Transition n = 7 onwards to n=2 are not allowed

In a hydrogen discharge tube, higher energy levels have less atoms

The spectroscope was speci cally tuned for only four transitions
In actual hydrogen sample, there are levels only up to n =6

Q.10 A wave function of the electron in a hydrogen atom depends only on the distance r from the
nucleus and not on the angular coordinates or .This implies that

The electron can only have linear motion

The probability of nding the electron depends only on the distance from the origin
This represents an s-state
The orbital angular momentum of the electron is zero
