Assertion : The quantized energy of an electron is largely determined by its principal quantum number.
Reason : The principal quantum number is a measure of the most probable distance of finding the electron around the nucleus.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
where principal quantum number which has only integral value, it follows that total energy is quantized.
