NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The ionisation energy of the hydrogen atom is the energy required to remove the electron from its lowest energy state. | Reason (R): According to Bohr's model, the ionisation energy is the energy required to transition the electron from n = 1 to n = ∞.

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 but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The ionisation energy of the hydrogen atom is defined as the energy required to remove its electron from the ground state (n = 1), which corresponds to the energy needed to excite the electron to n = ∞, as explained by Bohr's model.
