Structure Of Atom Ques 49

49. The energy absorbed by each molecule $(A_2)$ of a substance is $4.4 \times 10^{-19} $ $J$ and bond energy per molecule is $4.0 \times 10^{-19} $ $J$. The kinetic energy of the molecule per atom will be:

[2009]

(a) $2.2 \times 10^{-19} $ $J$

(b) $2.0 \times 10^{-19} $ $J$

(c) $4.0 \times 10^{-20} $ $J$

(d) $2.0 \times 10^{-20} $ $J$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 49.(d)

Solution:

  1. (d) $K.E$ per atom

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{(4.4 \times 10^{-19})-(4.0 \times 10^{-19})}{2} \\ & =\frac{0.4 \times 10^{-19}}{2}=2.0 \times 10^{-20} J \end{aligned} $
