Question: For the ground state, the electron in the H-atom has an angular momentum \(= \hslash,\) according to...
For the ground state, the electron in the H-atom has an angular momentum =ℏ, according to the simple Bohr model. Angular momentum is a vector and hence there will be infinitely many orbits with the vector pointing in all possible directions. In actuality this is not true,
A
Because Bohr model gives incorrect values of angular momentum
B
Because only one of these would have a minimum energy
C
Angular momnetum must be in the direction of spin of electron
D
Because electrons go around only in horizontal orbits
Answer
Because Bohr model gives incorrect values of angular momentum
