The ratio of the shortest wavelength of two spectral series of hydrogen spectrum is found to be about \(9\). The spectral series are
- A Lyman and Paschen
- B Brackett and Pfund
- C Paschen and Pfund
- D Balmer and Brackett
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Lyman and Paschen
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{{\frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} = {R_H}\left( {\frac{1}{{n_1^2}} - \frac{1}{{n_2^2}}} \right){Z^2}}}{{\frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}} = {R_H}\left( {\frac{1}{{n_1^2}} - \frac{1}{{n_2^2}}} \right){Z^2}}}\) As for shortest wavelength both \(n_1\) and \(n_2^1\) are \(\infty \)…

- Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the \(\mathrm{O}_3\) are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a \(\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O}\) (double bond) but less than that of a single \((O-O)\) bond.
Statement (II) : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond \((\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O})\) but more than that of a single bond \((\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O})\).
