Chemistry Question on Atomic Structure
Match List I with List II
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{List I (Spectral Series for Hydrogen)} & \text{List II (Spectral Region/Higher Energy State)} \\\ \hline \text{A. Lyman} & \text{I. Infrared region} \\\ \text{B. Balmer} & \text{II. UV region} \\\ \text{C. Paschen} & \text{III. Infrared region} \\\ \text{D. Pfund} & \text{IV. Visible region} \\\ \hline \end{array}
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :-
A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Solution
The correct matching is as follows:
- A. Lyman series corresponds to the UV region (II) as it involves transitions to the n=1 energy level.
- B. Balmer series corresponds to the Visible region (IV) as it involves transitions to the n=2 energy level.
- C. Paschen series corresponds to the Infrared region (III) as it involves transitions to the n=3 energy level.
- D. Pfund series corresponds to the Infrared region (I) as it involves transitions to the n=5 energy level.
The Correct Answer is: A−II,B−IV,C−III,D−I
