Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: According to Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom, the angular momentum of an electron in a given stationary state is quantised.

Statement II: The concept of electron in Bohr’s orbit violates the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:                [2023]

1 Both Statement I and Statement II are correct  
2 Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect  
3 Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct  
4 Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect  

Ans.

(1)

According to Bohr's model, orbital angular momentum of stationary orbit is quantized, which is equal to nh2π(n=No. of orbit). Heisenberg's uncertainty principle explains the orbital concept, which depends on the probability of finding an electron.
