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.
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow based on passage and
related studied concepts.
29. Orbitals are region or space where there is maximum probability of finding electrons.
Qualitatively, these orbitals can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation.
An orbital of small size means there is more chance of finding the electron near the
nucleus. Shape and orientation means the direction in which probability of finding
electron is maximum. Atomic orbitals can be distinguished by quantum numbers.
Each orbital is designated by three quantum numbers n, l and ml (magnetic quantum
number) which define energy, shape and orientation but these are not sufficient to
explain spectra of multi-electrons atoms. Spin quantum number (ms) determines the
spin of electron. Spin angular momentum of electron has two orientations relative to
chosen axis which are distinguished by spin quantum numbers ms which can take
values +1/2 and –1/2.
