Silver atom has completely filld d-orbit...

Silver atom has completely filld d-orbitals `(4^(10))` in its ground state. How can you say that it is a transition element?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Silver (Z=47) in (+2) oxidation state has incompletely filld 4d orbitals. Hence, it is a transition elements.
`""_(47)Ag: [Kr] 4d^(10) 5s^(1) " " ""_(47)Ag^(+) : [Kr] 4d^(10) 5s^(0)`
`""_(47)Ag^(2+): [Kr] 4d^(9) 5s^(0)`

    Answer the following questions: (a) A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle? (b) A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction, and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment? ( c) An electron travelling west to east enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in north to south direction. Specify the direction in which a uniform magnetic field should be set up to prevent the electron from deflecting from its straight line path.

    Classically, an electron can be in any orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Then what determines the typical atomic size? Why is an atom not, say, thousand times bigger than its typical size ? The question had greatly puzzled Bohr before he arrived at his famous model of the atom that you have learnt in the text. To simulate what he might well have done before his discovery, let us play as follows with the basic constants of nature and see if we can get a quantity with the dimensions of length that is roughly equal to the known size of an atom (-10^(-10)m) You will find that the length obtained in (a) is many orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic dimensions. Further, it involves c. But energies of atoms are mostly in non-relativistic domain where c is not expected to play any role. This is what may have suggested Bohr to discard c and look for something else' to get the right atomic size. Now, the Planck's constant h had already made its appearance elsewhere. Bohr's great insight lay in recognising that h, m_(e) and e will yield the right atomic size. Construct a quantity with the dimension of length from h, m_(e) and e and confirm that its numerical value has indeed the correct order of magnitude.
