NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
When does radiation get emitted or absorbed in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom?
Options
- ARadiation is emitted continuously as the electron moves in its orbit.
- BRadiation is emitted or absorbed only when the electron changes its orbit.
- CRadiation is emitted or absorbed only when the electron's velocity changes.
- DRadiation is emitted or absorbed only when the electron's mass changes.
Correct answer
B. Radiation is emitted or absorbed only when the electron changes its orbit.
Step-by-step solution
"Radiation is emitted or absorbed only when the transition of the electron takes place from one quantized value of angular momentum to another."
