NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
What are the integral numbers used to label the stationary states for electrons in Bohr's theory of the hydrogen atom?
Options
- AInteger numbers n = 1,2,3, ...
- BPrime numbers n = 2, 3, 5, ...
- CFractional numbers n = 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ...
- DComplex numbers n = i, 2i, 3i, ...
Correct answer
A. Integer numbers n = 1,2,3, ...
Step-by-step solution
The stationary states for the electron are numbered n = 1,2,3.......... These integral numbers are known as Principal quantum numbers."
