Hydrogen atom does not emit X-rays because

  1. A it contains only a single electron
  2. B energy levels in it are far apart
  3. C its size is very small
  4. D energy levels in it are very close to each other
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) energy levels in it are very close to each other

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hydrogen atom does not emit X-rays because its energy level are very close to each other. Hence, the transition of electron emits high energy radiations having short wavelength.
