Chemistry-Bohr's Model

NEET Chemistry Bohr's Model Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

Assertion (A): The angular momentum of the electron in a hydrogen atom is quantized. | Reason (R): Electrons can only occupy orbits where their angular momentum is an integral multiple of h/2π.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Bohr's model states that an electron can only move in orbits for which its angular momentum is an integral multiple of h/2π, thus quantizing it. This is directly mentioned in the NCERT context.
