Sol. (i) It is because half filled and completely filled orbitals are more stable. (ii) $4 s$ orbital has lower energy than $3 d$ orbital, therefore, it is filled before $3 d$ orbital.

Sol. Suppose threshold wavelength $=\lambda_{0} n m=\lambda_{0} \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{m}$ Then $h\left(v-v_{0}\right)=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \quad$ or $\quad h c\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right)=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$ Substituting the given results of the three experiments, we get $\frac{h c}{10^{-9}}\left(\frac{1}{500}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right)=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2.55 \times 10^{6}\right)^{2}$ $\frac{h c}{10^{-9}}\left(\frac{1}{450}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right)=\frac{1}{2} m\left(4.35 \times 10^{6}\right)^{2}$ $\frac{h c}{10^{-9}}\left(\frac{1}{400}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right)=\frac{1}{2} m\left(5.20 \times 10^{6}\right)^{2}$ Dividing equation (ii) by equation (i), we get $\frac{\lambda_{0}-450}{450 \lambda_{0}} \times \frac{500 \lambda_{0}}{\lambda-500}=\left(\frac{4.35}{2.55}\right)^{2}$ or $\quad \frac{\lambda_{0}-450}{\lambda_{0}-500}=\frac{450}{500}\left(\frac{4.35}{2.55}\right)^{2}=2.619$ or $\lambda_{0}-450=2.619 \lambda-1309.5$ or $\quad 1.619 \lambda_{0}=859.5 \quad \therefore \quad \lambda_{0}=531 \mathrm{nm}$ Substituting this value in equation (iii), we get $\frac{h \times\left(3 \times 10^{8}\right)}{10^{-9}}\left(\frac{1}{400}-\frac{1}{531}\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(9.11 \times 10^{-31}\right)\left(5.20 \times 10^{6}\right)^{2}$ or $\quad h=6.66 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}$
