Q. Which of the following statements does not form a part of Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom?
A) Energy of the electrons in the orbit is quantised
B) The electron in the orbit nearest the nucleus has the lowest energy
C) Electrons revolve in different orbits around the nucleus
D) The position and velocity of the electrons in the orbit cannot be determined simultaneously
Explanation
(d)
According to Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom, the energy of electrons in the orbit is quantised, the electron in the orbit nearest to nucleus has lowest energy and electrons revolve in different orbits around the nucleus.
Whereas according to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle position and velocity of the electrons in the orbit cannot be determined simultaneously.
