Assertion : The quantized energy of an electron is largely determined by its principal quantum number. Reason : The principal quantum number (n ) 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
E=- 2 ^2 k^2 m_e^4 n^2 h^2 where n= principal quantum number which has only integral value, it follows that total energy is quantized.
