NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the hydrogen atom and its characteristics is correct?
The electron in a hydrogen atom can only occupy certain stable orbits defined by quantized angular momentum.
Hydrogen atoms can emit energy in any arbitrary wavelength when electrons transition between orbits.
The Rutherford model accurately predicts the stability of hydrogen atoms without any modifications.
The total energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is always positive regardless of its state.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as it reflects Bohr's second postulate regarding quantized angular momentum in hydrogen. Statements B, C, and D misinterpret the behavior of the hydrogen atom according to established models.
