Given below are two statements Statement I : According to Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom, the angular momentum of an electron in a given stationary state is quantised. Statement II : The concept of electron in Bohr’s orbit, violates the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Options
- AStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Correct answer
B. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr's postulates the angular momentum in stationary orbit is quantised and is equal to nh / 2 π , where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. Bohr's model of the atom assumes fixed orbits and trajectories for the electron. Simultaneously known orbits and trajectories violate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
