Given below are two statements: Statement I : Bohr's theory accounts for the stability and line spectrum of Li + ion. Statement II : Bohr's theory was unable to explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth statement I and statement II are true.
- BStatement I is false but statement II is true.
- CBoth statement I and statement II are false.
- DStatement I is true but statement II is false.
Correct answer
B. Statement I is false but statement II is true.
Step-by-step solution
Statement- I is false since Bohr's theory accounts for the stability and spectrum of single electronic species ( e.g. He + , Li 2 + etc.) Statement II is true.
