Among the following, the correct statement(s) for electrons in an atom is(are)
  1. A
    Uncertainty principle rules out the existence of definite paths for electrons.
  2. B
    The energy of an electron in 2s2 s2s orbital of an atom is lower than the energy of an electron that is infinitely far away from the nucleus.
  3. C
    According to Bohr's model, the most negative energy value for an electron is given by n=1\mathrm{n}=1n=1, which corresponds to the most stable orbit.
  4. D
    According to Bohr's model, the magnitude of velocity of electrons increases with increase in values of nnn.

Correct answer: A, B, C

  1. Evaluate option A

    Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the exact position and exact momentum of an electron cannot be known simultaneously: Δx Δp≥h4π\Delta x\, \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}ΔxΔp≥4πh​ Therefore, the idea of a definite classical path for an electron is not valid.

    Hence, A is correct.

  2. Evaluate option B

    For an electron bound in an atom, its energy is negative relative to an electron at infinite distance, whose energy is taken as zero.

    Thus, for an electron in the 2s2s2s orbital: E2s<0E_{2s} < 0E2s​<0 while at infinite distance: E∞=0E_{\infty} = 0E∞​=0 Therefore, E2s<E∞E_{2s} < E_{\infty}E2s​<E∞​

    Hence, B is correct.

  3. Evaluate option C

    In Bohr's model, the energy of an electron in the nnnth orbit is En=−13.6Z2n2  eVE_n = -\frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2}\; \text{eV}En​=−n213.6Z2​eV The most negative value occurs for the smallest possible value of nnn, i.e. n=1n=1n=1.

    Since lower (more negative) energy means greater stability, n=1n=1n=1 is the most stable orbit.

    Hence, C is correct.

  4. Evaluate option D

    In Bohr's model, electron speed in the nnnth orbit is vn=Zαcnv_n = \frac{Z\alpha c}{n}vn​=nZαc​ so vn∝1nv_n \propto \frac{1}{n}vn​∝n1​ Therefore, as nnn increases, velocity decreases, not increases.

    Hence, D is incorrect.

  5. Final answer

    Correct statements are: A, B, C\boxed{A,\ B,\ C}A, B, C​

  6. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer: A, B, C

    My derived answer matches the stored answer.
