To write the electronic configuration of an atom, it is better if we remember the atomic number of noble gases and the orbitals follow the noble gas. The atomic number of $$Ca$$ is 20 and its nearest noble gas is argon $$(Ar = 18).$$
Hence, the electronic configuration of $$Ca = \left[ {Ar} \right]4{s^2}.$$

A certain metal when irradiated by light $$\left( {\upsilon = 3.2 \times {{10}^{16}}Hz} \right)$$ emits photoelectrons with twice of $$K.E.$$ as did photoelectrons when the same metal is irradiated by light $$\left( {\upsilon = 2.0 \times {{10}^{16}}Hz} \right).$$ The $${\upsilon _0}$$ of the metal is
The radius of nucleus is of the order of $$1.5 \times {10^{ - 13}}$$ to $$6.5 \times {10^{ - 13}}cm$$ or 1.5 to 6.5 Fermi $$\left( {1\,{\text{Fermi}} = {{10}^{ - 13}}cm} \right)$$

Energy of an electron is given by $$E = - 2.178 \times {10^{ - 18}}J\left( {\frac{{{Z^2}}}{{{n^2}}}} \right).$$
Wavelength of light required to excite an electron in an hydrogen atom from level $$n = 1$$ to $$n = 2$$ will be:
$$\left( {h = 6.62 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}Js\,{\text{and}}\,c = 3.0 \times {{10}^8}m{s^{ - 1}}} \right)$$

Though the five $$d$$ - orbitals are degenerate, the first four $$d$$ - orbitals are similar to each other in shape whereas the fifth $$d$$ - orbital is different from others. What is the name of the fifth orbital ?
The fifth $$d$$ - orbital $$\left( {{d_{{z^2}}}} \right)$$ has a doughnut shaped electron cloud in the centre whereas others have clover leaf shape.

Two fast moving particles $$X$$ and $$Y$$ are associated with de Broglie wavelengths $$1\,nm$$ and $$4\,nm$$ respectively. If mass of $$X$$ is nine times the mass of $$Y,$$ the ratio of kinetic energies of $$X$$ and $$Y$$ would be
According, to Pauli’s exclusion principle “no two electrons in an atom can have the same values of all the four quantum numbers.”
In $$1{s^2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{for }}I{\text{ electron}}\,\,n = 1,\,l = 0,m = 0,s = + \frac{1}{2} \cr
& {\text{for }}II{\text{ electron}}\,\,n = 1,\,l = 0,m = 0,s = - \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
It means if the values of $$n, l,$$ and $$m$$ are same, then the value of spin quantum number must be different, i.e. $$ + \frac{1}{2}$$ and $$ - \frac{1}{2}.$$

How many nodal planes are there in the atomic orbitals for the principal quantum number $$n=3?$$
Shell with $$n = 3$$ has $$3s,3p\left( {{p_x},{p_y},{p_z}} \right)$$ and $$3d$$ $$\left( {{d_{xy}},{d_{xz}},{d_{yz}},{d_{{x^2} - {y^2}}},{\text{and}}\,\,{d_{{z^2}}}} \right)$$ orbitals.
$$s$$ has no nodal plane.
Each of $${{p_x},{p_y},{p_z}}$$ has one nodal plane, which means a total of three nodal planes.
$${d_{{z^3}}}$$ has no nodal plane.
Each of $${{d_{xy}},{d_{xz}},{d_{yz}},{d_{{x^2} - {y^2}}}}$$ has two nodal planes, which means a total of eight nodal planes.
Hence, for $$n = 3,$$ a total of 11 nodal planes are there.
