7. One mole of an ideal gas is taken from a and b along two paths denoted by the solid and the dashed lines
as shown in the graph below. If the work done along the solid line path is ws and that along the dotted line
path is wd, then the integer closest to the ratio wd / ws is :

The hydrogen-like species Li2+ is in a spherically symmetric state S1 with one radial node. Upon absorbing
light the ion undergoes transition to a state S2. The state S2 has one radial node and its energy is equal to
the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom.
Ans. (B)

Sol. For lower state (S1) CHEMISTRY
No. of radial node = 1 = n – – 1
Put n = 2 and = 0 (as higher state S2 has n = 3)
So, it would be 2s (for S1 state)
16. Energy of the state S1 in units of the hydrogen atom ground state energy is :

when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extent this to a general rotational motion to find
quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr’s
