Chapter I
Atomic Structure
Q. Define Atom
Ans: Atom:Atom is the smallest particle of an element which cannot be
further sub divided and which takes part in all chemical changes.
Q. Define Atomic number &Atomic mass number
Ans: Atomic number(Z):Atomic number is the number of protons present in
the nucleus which is equal to the number of electrons revolving around
the nucleus in extra nuclear part of the atom. OR
The number of protons present in one atom of element is called as atomic
number. It is denoted by the symbol Z.
Z = p = e
The atomic number of Na is 11 & Carbon is 6
Atomic mass number (A):Atomic mass number is the sum of number of
protons & neutrons present in the nucleus of atom of an element
It is denoted by the symbol A
A = p + n
The atomic mass number of Na is 23 & Carbon is 12
Q. Define Isotopes & Isobars with examples

Q. Why an atom is electrically neutral?
Ans: Atom consists of equal number of positively charged protons in the
nucleus which is exactly balanced by negatively charged electrons
present in extra nuclear part. Therefore atom is electrically neutral.
Q. Why nucleus of an atom is always positively charged?Ans: Atom consists of nuclear part (Nucleus) &extra nuclear part. Nucleus
consists of positively charged protons &charge less neutrons. Therefore
nucleus of an atom is always positively charged.
Q. Why electron do not fall into the nucleus?
Ans: The electrostatic force of attraction between electron & nucleus is exactly
balanced by the centrifugal force so that electron does not fall into the
nucleus.

fills all the orbitals with parallel spin before pairing takes place in any
one orbital.
Q. Define valency and valency electrons.
Ans: The valency of an element is the number of electrons that atom can lose,
gain or share so as to complete its octet or duplet and become stable.
Ex: The valency of Na is 1, Mg is 2, Cl is 1 , O is 2
The electrons which are present in outer most orbits (last shell) are

Q. Write any four postulates or assumptions of Bohrs atomic theory
Ans: Following are the main postulates of Bohrs theory
1.
An atom consist of a dense positively charged central part called as
nucleus, it is at rest.
2.
The electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed circular path called as
orbit or shell. The electrostatic force of attraction between the nucleus
and electron is exactly balanced by the centrifugal force. So, the electron
does not fall into the nucleus and the atom remains stable.
3.
Out of the number of possible circular orbit around the nucleus, an
electron revolves around the nucleus only in certain permitted orbits
which are known as stationary states.
4. Each stationary state is having definite amount of energy. Therefore,
these are also called as energy shells or energy levels.
5. Electron in the energy level nearest to the nucleus has lower energy and
those are at greater distance from the nucleus have higher energy.
6.
An excited electron can jump from a lower energy level to higher
energy level by absorbing energy. Whereas the excited electron jumps
from higher energy level to lower energy level by emitting (losing) the
energy.

The sum of the number of protons and
neutrons present in the nucleus of an
atom is called as atomic mass number.
A = p + n
It is denoted by symbol A.
Ex: Atomic mass no. of Na is 23.
Different element have different atomic
number. Eg. 2He4, 1H
1, 6C
12
Atoms of same or different elements
may or may not have same atomic mass
number.
Atomic number fixes the position of an
element in the periodic table.
Atomic mass number does not fixes the
position of an element in periodic table
Elements are placed in periodic table
according to their atomic number
Elements are not placed in periodic table
according to their atomic mass number.
Chemical properties of an element
depend on atomic number.
Chemical properties of element are not
depend on atomic mass number
Atomic number does not decide atomic
weight of element
Atomic mass number decide atomic

Q. Explain Electrovalency and Covalency with examples.
Ans: Electrovalency:The valency obtained by loss or gain of electrons so as to
complete the octet (or duplet) is called as electrovalency. There are two
types of valency
A) Positive electrovalency
B) Negative electrovalency
A) Positive electrovalency: The valency obtained by loss of valence
electron by metallic atom so as to complete its octet is called as positive
electrovalency. Ex:Sodium atom loses one electron to complete its last
shell. Thus positive electrovalency of sodium atom is +1
Na Na++ e
-
Atom (2,8,1) Ion (2,8)
2. Negative electrovalency: The valency obtained by gain of valence
electron by non-metallic atom so as to complete its octet is called as
negative electrovalency.Ex: Chlorine atom gains one electron tocomplete its last shell. Thus negative electrovalency of chlorine is -1
Cl + e-

Atom (2, 8, 7) Ion (2, 8, 8)
Covalency: The number of electrons that an atom of element can share tocomplete the octet is called as covalency. OR
The valency obtained by mutual sharing of electrons between two similar
dissimilar atoms of an element so as to complete its octet is called as
covalency.
Ex:In the formation of chlorine molecule, each atom of chlorine shares
one electron to complete the octet hence, covalency of chlorine is 1.

Q. Why Chromium &Copper shows anomalous behavior in electronic
configuration?
Ans: The atomic number of chromium is 24.The expected electronic
configuration of chromium is,
Cr (24) - 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d4.
But the observed electronic configuration of chromium is,
Cr (24) - 1s2, 2s
2, 2p
6, 3s
2, 3p
6, 4s
1, 3d
5.
Because one electron from 4s orbital goes to empty 3d orbital of
chromium and has both 4s and 3d orbitals are half filled
The atomic number of copper is 29.The expected electron configuration
of copper is,
Cu (29) - 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d9.
But the observed electronic configuration of copper is,
Cu (29) - 1s2
, 2s2
, 2p6
, 3s2
, 3p6
, 4s1
, 3d10
.Because one electron from 4s orbital goes to empty 3d orbital of copper
and has 4s orbital is half filled and 3d orbital is completely filled.
As half-filled and completely filled orbitals have less energy and
therefore they are more stable.
Q. Write orbital electronic configuration of elements from Hydrogen to
Argon.

an electrolyte that ionizesin solution is known as degree of ionization.
Degree of ionization = Numbers of molecules ionised into ions
Total number of molecules dissolved in solvent
Following are the factor affecting degree of ionization
1)Nature of solute
2)
Nature of solvent
3)
Concentration of solution
4)
Temperature
Nature of solute:
8/11/2019 Chemistry Notes by Atul Waghmare Government Polytechnic Autonomus ,Aurangabad
33/151

33
Ionic compounds like acids, bases and salts are highly ionized in solution.
Strong electrolyte like HCl, H2SO4, NaOH, NaCl are highly ionised but
weak electrolyte like CH3COOH,NH4OH etc are weakly ionised. Hence
degree of ionization depends upon the nature of solute.
Nature of solvent:
In polar solvent like H2O, NH3degree of ionization is more. In non polar
solvents degree of ionization is less i.e. degree of ionization depends on
the nature of solvent.
Concentration of solution:
The degree of ionization is inversely proportion to the concentration of
solution. If concentration of solution is more, then degree of ionization is
lessEx:8 Molar HCl ionizes to only 80% while 0.1molar ionizes to 100%
Temperature: At higher temperature molecules aquire higher thermal
energy hence degree of ionisation increases with increases in temperature.
Q. Define electrode potential. What is oxidation &reduction potential?
Ans: Electrode Potential: It is defined as the difference of potential between
