- AUncertainty principle rules out the existence of definite paths for electrons.
- BThe energy of an electron in orbital of an atom is lower than the energy of an electron that is infinitely far away from the nucleus.
- CAccording to Bohr's model, the most negative energy value for an electron is given by , which corresponds to the most stable orbit.
- DAccording to Bohr's model, the magnitude of velocity of electrons increases with increase in values of .

Correct answer: A, B, C
-
Evaluate option A
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the exact position and exact momentum of an electron cannot be known simultaneously: Therefore, the idea of a definite classical path for an electron is not valid.
Hence, A is correct.
-
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 orbital: while at infinite distance: Therefore,
Hence, B is correct.
-
Evaluate option C
In Bohr's model, the energy of an electron in the th orbit is The most negative value occurs for the smallest possible value of , i.e. .
Since lower (more negative) energy means greater stability, is the most stable orbit.
Hence, C is correct.
-
Evaluate option D
In Bohr's model, electron speed in the th orbit is so Therefore, as increases, velocity decreases, not increases.
Hence, D is incorrect.
