Which of the following statements about the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is false.
A
Acceleration of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit
B
Angular momentum of electron in n = 2 orbit is more than that in n = 1 orbit
C
Kinetic energy of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit
D
Potential energy of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit
Answer
Potential energy of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit
Explanation
Solution
As n increases P.E. also increases.
