Statement (A) As one considers orbits with higher values of \(n\) in hydrogen atom, the electric potential energy of the atom increases.
Statement (B) In thomson's model, an atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it.
Statement (C) The orbital picture is Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom was consistent with the uncertainty principle.

  1. A A, B and C are true
  2. B A, B true, but \(C\) false
  3. C B, C true, but A false
  4. D A, C true but B false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A, B true, but \(C\) false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In hydrogen atom, potential energy of electron in \(n\)th orbit is given as \(\mathrm{PE}=\frac{-K z e^2}{r}\) For higher value of \(n, r\) increase because \(r \propto n^2\). From eq (i), it is clear that for higher value of \(n\), potential energy increases. Hence, statement…
