Statement (A) As one considers orbits with higher values of nn 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.

Options

  1. AA, B and C are true
  2. BA, B true, but CC false
  3. CB, C true, but A false
  4. DA, C true but B false

Correct answer

B. A, B true, but CC false

Step-by-step solution

In hydrogen atom, potential energy of electron in nnth orbit is given as PE=−Kze2r\mathrm{PE}=\frac{-K z e^2}{r} For higher value of n,rn, r increase because r∝n2r \propto n^2. From eq (i), it is clear that for higher value of nn, potential energy increases. Hence, statement (A) is correct. In thomson's model an atom is a spherical cloud of positive charges with electrons embedded in it. Hence, statement (B) is correct. According to Bohr's model an electron in an atom is located at a definite distance from the nucleus and is revolving with a definite velocity around it. According to heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it is impossible to determine the exact position and momentum of moving electron simultaneously. Therefore, Bohr's model of an atom is contradicted by heisenbergs uncertainty principle. The statement (C) is incorrect. Hence, option (b) is correct.
