For shortest , Z must be maximum, which is for Li2+
The representation of the ground state electronic configuration of He by box-diagram as
is wrong because it violates:
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
Bohr's quantization theory of angular momenta
Pauli exclusion principle
Hund's rule
C.
Pauli exclusion principle
Pauli's exclusion principle states, "An orbital can have a maximum of two electrons and these must have opposite spins."
The energy of an electron in first Bohr orbit of H-atom is-13.6 eV. The possible energy value of electron in the excited state of Li2+ is:
- 122.4 eV
30.6 eV

En = x Z2
For Li2+, the excited state, n = 2 and Z = 3
En = x (3)2

The amount of the heat released when 20 mL 0.5 M NaOH is mixed with 100 ml 0.1 M HCl is x kJ. The heat of neutralisation is:
- 100 x kJ/mol
- 50 x kJ/mol
+ 100 x kJ/mol
+ 50 x kJ/mol
A.
- 100 x kJ/mol
Millimoles (or milliequivalents) of NaOH = 20 x 0.5 = 10
Millimoles (or milliequivalents) of HCl = 100 x 0.1 = 10
+ NaCl + H2O
Thus, heat released when 10 milliequivalents of HCl are. neutralised by 10 millimoles of NaOH = x kJ. But the heat of neutralisation is heat released when 1 equivalent of HCl is neutralised by 1 equivalent of NaOH.
H = - or - 100 x kJ/mol

Formal charge = total number of valence electrons - total number of nonbonding electrons - 1/2 x total number of bonding electrons
As for structure, ;
For Ist and 3rd nitrogen atom
Formal charge = 5 - 4 - 1/2 x 4 = -1
For middle nitrogen atom
Formal charge = 5 - 0 - 1/2 x 8 = +1

As 2 g of metal carbonate is neutralised by 100 mL of 0.1 N HCl.
Number of gram-equivalents of HCl =

An electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a mixture of alanine (isoelectric point 6.0), glutamic acid (3.2) and arginine (10.7) buffered at pH 6. What is the fate of the three acids?
Glutamic acid migrates to anode at pH 6. Arginine is present as a cation and migrates to the cathode. Alanine in a dipolar ion remains uniformly distributed in solution
Glutamic acid migrates to cathode and others remain uniformly distributed in solution
All three remain uniformly distributed in solution
All three move to cathode
A.
Glutamic acid migrates to anode at pH 6. Arginine is present as a cation and migrates to the cathode. Alanine in a dipolar ion remains uniformly distributed in solution
Amino acids exist as Zwitter ions which contain both positive and negative charge but overall electrically neutral. At their the isoelectric point, amino acids do not migrate to any electrode and remain uniformly distributed in the solution. Thus, alanine (isoelectric point 6.0) does not move to any electrode.
At a pH lower than their isoelectric point, they exist as cation and move towards the cathode. Thus, arginine (isoelectric point 10.7 exists as the cation.
At a pH higher than their isoelectric point, they exist as anion and move towards the anode. Thus, glutamic acid (isoelectric point 3.2) at pH 6.0 moves towards the anode.
Which one of the following has the lowest ionisation energy?
1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6
1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6 , 3s1
1s2 , 2s2 , 2p5
1s2 , 2s2 , 2p3
B.
1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6 , 3s1
In the Periodic Table, the minimum ionisation energy is found at alkali metals. Hence sodium (electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1) has the lowest ionisation energy.
Note: Ionisation energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell an isolated atom.

As sodium acetate is a salt of weak acid and strong base, in the hydrolysis of sodium acetate the pH is given by;
pH = 1/2 pKw + 1/2 pKa + 1/2 log C
