NEET Chemistry Bohr's Model Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Bohr's model of the atom cannot account for the finer details of the hydrogen spectrum.
Reason (R): According to Bohr's model, radiation is emitted only during the transition of an electron between different quantized angular momentum states.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Bohr's model indeed fails to explain the finer details of the hydrogen spectrum (such as doublets), but this is not due to the mechanism of radiation emission during electronic transitions. The limitations arise from the model's simplicity, not the emission process.
