Q. Which of the following statements about the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is false
A) Acceleration of electron in $n = 2$ orbit is less than that in $n = 1$ orbit
B) Angular momentum of electron in $n = 2$ orbit is more than that in $n = 1$ orbit
C) Kinetic energy of electron in $n = 2$ orbit is less than that in $n = 1$ orbit
D) Potential energy of electron in $n = 2$ orbit is less than that in $n = 1$ orbit
Explanation
(d) As $n$ increases P.E. also increases
