QJEEAdv05Ch3e91: JEE Advanced 2005 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEAdv05Ch3e91 Solution: Find the velocity (ms -1 ) of electron in first Bohr's orbit of …

Find the velocity (ms-1) of electron in first Bohr's orbit of radius a0. Also find the de Broglie's wavelength (in m). Find the orbital angular momentum of 2p orbital of hydrogen atom in units of h/2πh/2 \pi .

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For hydrogen atom;

z = 1, n = 1

or, v = 2.18 ×\times 106 ms −- 1

de-Broglie's wavelength, λ=hmv\lambda = {h \over {mv}}

=6.626×10−34kg m2s−19.11×10−31kg×2.18×106 ms−1= {{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}kg\,{m^2}{s^{ - 1}}} \over {9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}kg \times 2.18 \times {{10}^6}\,m{s^{ - 1}}}}

=3.34×10−10 m= 3.34 \times {10^{ - 10}}\,m

Orbital angular momentum

=l(l+1). h2π= \sqrt {l(l + 1)} .\,{h \over {2\pi }}

For 2p-orbital, l = 1

∴\therefore Orbital angular momentum =2 . h/2π= \sqrt 2 \,.\,h/2\pi .
