ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Uncertainty principle, Schrodinger equation, Quantum No.

1. o
Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of an electron if the uncertainty in its position is 1 A .
Mass of an electron 9.1 x 10–31 kg and Plank’s constant ‘h’ is 6.6 x 10–34 kg m/ sec–1.

2. The uncertainties in the position and velocity of a particle are 10–10 m and 5.27 x 10–24 m/sec
respectively. Calculate the mass of the particle (h = 6.626 x 10–34 J.s)

3. The approximate mass of an electron is 10–27 gm. Calculate the uncertainly in its velocity if the
uncertainty in its position were of the ordes of  10−11 m.

4. A golf ball has a mass of 40 gm and a speed of 45 m/sec. If the speed can be measured with an
accuracy of 2%, calculate the uncertainty in the position.

5. Calculate the uncertainty in the position (∆x) of an electron if ∆v is 0.1 %. Take the velocity of
electron = 2.2 x 106 m/sec. and mass of electron as 9.108 x 10–31 kg.

6. The radial probability is the probability of finding electrons in a small spherical shell around the
nucleus at a particular distance(r). Hence, radial probability is

7. Write Schrodinger wave equation for an electron with E as total energy and V as potential energy
is

8. What is the total spin and magnetic moment of an atom with atomic number 7.

9. What is the orbital angular momentum of a d-electron.

10. If the value of (n + l) is more than 3 and less than 6, then what will be the possible number of
orbitals?
