Which of the following postulate of Bohr's model of hydrogen atom in not in agreement with quantum mechanical model of an atom ?
Options
- AAn atom in a stationary state does not emit electromagnetic radiation as long as it stays in the same state
- BAn atom can take only certain distinct energies E ₁, E ₂, E ₃ , etc. These allowed states of constant energy a
- CWhen an electron makes a transition from a higher energy stationary state to a lower energy stationary state,
- DThe electron in a H atom's stationary state moves in a circle around the nucleus
Correct answer
D. The electron in a H atom's stationary state moves in a circle around the nucleus
Step-by-step solution
The electron in a H-atom's stationary state moves in a spherical path.
