  • Hydrogen atom has only one electron in its valence shell having electronic configuration 1s1
  • It can acquire stable configuration of helium by sharing this electron with another hydrogen atom.
  • Therefore, it shares its single electron with electron of the other H-atom to achieve stable inert gas configuration of He.
  • Thus, hydrogen readily forms diatomic molecule and exists as H2 rather than in monoatomic form.

Focal length of the objective of an astronomical telescope is 1 m. Under normal adjustment, length of the telescope is 1.05 m.

Given: f0 = 1 m, L = 1.05 m To find: i. Focal length of eyepiece (fe) Magnifying power under normal adjustment (M) Formula: i. L = f0 + fe ii. M = \(\frac{f_0}{f_e}\) Calculation: From formula (i), fe = L – f0 =...
