Short Answer May-2019 • PSBTE DIPLOMAChemical bonds hold the molecules together & create temporary connections that are essential in our daily life.
Types of chemical bonds are ionic, covalent, hydrogen bonds & London dispersion forces.
Cause: The answer to this that atoms are trying to reach the most stable (lowest energy) state that they can. Many atoms become stable when their valence shell is filled with electrons or when they satisfy the octet rule.
If atom’s doesn’t have this arrangement then they want to achieve by gaining or losing electrons or via sharing electrons through bonds.

SECTION-C
Attempt any three questions. 3x10=30
Q3. a) Name and explain the quantum numbers.Long Answer May-2019 • PSBTE DIPLOMAQuantum numbers are of four types. These are used to describe the probable location of an electron in an atom.
- Principal quantum No. (n) : This quantum number describes the electron shell or energy level of an atom. The value of n ranges from 1 to the shell containing the outermost electron of that atom.
N = 1, 2, 3, 4,......
Shell = K, L, M, N, ....
It describes the size of the orbital & how far the electron extends from the nucleus.
- Azimuthal or Angular quantum No. (l) : This quantum no. Divides the shell up into the smaller groups of the sub shells called orbital’s The value of n determine the value of the l.
l = n – 1
l = 0, 1, ...n
So Value of l =
0
1
2
3
4
S
P
D
F
g
If n = 1, l = 0, First shell has only one orbital whoch is s
If n = 2, l = 1, s, p
If n = 3, l = 2, s, p, d
If n= 4, l = 3, s, p, d, f
- Magnetic Quantum No. (ml) :It splits the sub shells into specific orbital’s. Thus the orbitals describes how an orbitalis oriented in space relative to other orbital.
ml = +l..........0..........-l
Let for p orbital
l=1
ml = +1,0,-1
So p has 3 sub shells px, py, pz
- Spin Magnetic Quantum No. (Ms) : This quantum number describes the orientation of electron in the orbital.Each orbital consists the maximum two electrons & one have spin (Ms) +1/2 and one has -1/2.

Explain the process of electroplating?
Long Answer May-2019 • PSBTE DIPLOMAElectroplating is the process of plating one metal on to another by hydrolysis, most commonly used for decorative purpose to prevent the corrosion of metals. There are also specified types of electroplating like copper plating, Silver plating etc.For example if iron is connected with those metals which are active metals ( Mg or Zn)either directly through a wire. The iron objects act as cathode & protecting metal act as anode. Hence protecting metal loses the electrons and is gradually used up the iron metal is getting protecting from rusting as long as some of active metal is present.

Write a short note on aufbau principle and hund’s rule.
Long Answer May-2019 • PSBTE DIPLOMA- Aufbau Principle: The Aufbau principle says that the arrangement of the electrons in an atom – the electronic configuration is best understood if it is built from the ground up. When we are writing down the electronic configuration of any atom we begin at the lowest energy level and add electrons to higher energy levels.
Hund’s principle: It states that the lowest energy electronic configuration, the ground state, in any electron sub shell is the one with the greatest number of the parallel electron spins.
1 2 3
According to Hund’s rule option 2 has greater parallel electronic spin and has lowest energy.
