5. In ground state of \[Cu^{+}\]. The no. of shells occupied, subshells, filled orbitals, and unpaired electrons respectively are :
a) 4, 8, 15, 0
b) 3, 6, 15, 1
c) 3, 6, 14, 0
d) 4, 7, 14, 2

Answer: c
Explanation: The ground state electronic configuration, of Cu+ ion is 1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6 , 3s2 , 3p6 , 3d10
n = 3 (number of shells) ; Number of subshells occupied = 6, Number of filled orbitals = 14 ; There is no unpaired electron

6. The quantum numbers +1/2 and –1/2 for the electron spin represent
a) rotation of the electron in clockwise and anticlockwise direction respectively
b) rotation of the electron in anticlockwise and clockwise direction respectively
c) magnetic moment of the electron pointing up and down respectively
d) two quantum mechanical spin states which have no classical analogue

Answer: d
Explanation: The position and velocity of electrons cannot be determined simultaneously does not fit in with the Bohrs model of H atom. It is a part of Heisenbergs uncertainty principle

7. Let mp be the mass of a proton, \[M_{n}\] that of a neutron,\[M_{1}\] that of a \[\begin{array}{c}20\\ 10\end{array}Ne\]  nucleus and \[M_{2}\] that of a \[\begin{array}{c}40\\ 20\end{array}Ne \]   nucleus. Then
a) \[M_{2}=2M_{1}\]
b) \[M_{1}<10\left(m_{p}+m_{n}\right)\]
c) \[M_{2}>2M_{1}\]
d) \[M_{1}=2M_{2}\]

Answer: a
Explanation: \[\begin{array}{c}20\\ 10\end{array}Ne\]  contains 10 protons and 10 neutrons
M1 = 10 mp + 10 mn
\[\begin{array}{c}40\\ 20\end{array}Ne \]  contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons
M1 = 20 mp + 20 mn
M2 =2M1
