According to Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, which of the following statement is incorrect?
- ARadius of orbit is four times larger than that of orbit
- BRadius of orbit is four times larger than that of orbit
- CRadius of orbit is three times larger than that of orbit
- DRadius of orbit is nine times larger than that of orbit
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Use Bohr's radius formula
For hydrogen atom, the radius of the orbit is where is the Bohr radius. -
Compare each option using
Option A
So, radius of 4th orbit is four times that of 2nd orbit.
A is correct.Option B
So, radius of 8th orbit is four times that of 4th orbit.
B is correct.Option C
This is not equal to .
So, radius of 6th orbit is not three times that of 4th orbit.
C is incorrect.Option D
So, radius of 3rd orbit is nine times that of 1st orbit.
D is correct. -
Conclusion
