MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

The binding energy of a H -atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is

$$B=-\frac{m e^4}{8 n^2 \varepsilon_0^2 h^2}(m=\text { electron mass })$$

If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be

$$B=-\frac{M e^4}{8 n^2 \varepsilon_0^2 h^2}(M=\text { proton mass })$$

This last expression is not correct, because

A
$n$ would not be integral
B
Bohr-quantisation applies only two electron
C
the frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial
D
the motion of the proton would not be in circular orbits, even approximately.
3
MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

The simple Bohr model cannot be directly applied to calculate the energy levels of an atom with many electrons. This is because

A
of the electrons not being subject to a central force
B
of the electrons colliding with each other
C
of screening effects
D
the force between the nucleus and an electron will no longer be given by Coulomb's law
4
MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

For the ground state, the electron in the H -atom has an angular momentum $=h$, according to the simple Bohr model. Angular momentum is a vector and hence there will be infinitely many orbits with the vector pointing in all possible directions. In actuality, this is not true,

A
because Bohr model gives incorrect values of angular momentum
B
because only one of these would have a minimum energy
C
angular momentum must be in the direction of spin of electron
D
because electrons go around only in horizontal orbits
5
MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

$\mathrm{O}_2$ molecule consists of two oxygen atoms. In the molecule, nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms

A
is not important because nuclear forces are short-ranged
B
is as important as electrostatic force for binding the two atoms
C
cancels the repulsive electrostatic force between the nuclei
D
is not important because oxygen nucleus have equal number of neutrons and protons
6
MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

Two H atoms in the ground state collide inelastically. The maximum amount by which their combined kinetic energy is reduced is

A
10.20 eV
B
20.40 eV
C
13.6 eV
D
27.2 eV
