The ratio of the radius of the orbit for the electron orbiting the hydrogen nucleus to that of an electron orbiting a deuterium nucleus is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1∶1
The correct answer is A (1∶1) because the radius of the orbit depends on the atomic number (Z) and the principal quantum number (n), and since both hydrogen and deuterium have Z=1, the ratio is 1:1.

According to Bohr's atomic theory, which of the following is correct ?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Frequency of revolution of electron in an orbit
Option C is correct because the stability of the conjugate base determines the base strength; alkyl carbanions are more basic than vinyl carbanions, which are more basic than acetylide carbanions.

For an atom or ion having single electron, compare the energies of the following orbitals.
A spherically symmetrical orbital having two spherical nodes.
An orbital which is double dumb-bell and has no radial node.
An orbital with orbital angular momentum zero and three radial nodes.
An orbital having one planar and one radial node.
A spherically symmetrical orbital having two spherical nodes.
An orbital which is double dumb-bell and has no radial node.
An orbital with orbital angular momentum zero and three radial nodes.
An orbital having one planar and one radial node.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Option A is correct because for a single-electron system, energy depends only on the principal quantum number (n), so orbitals with the same n have the same energy.
