Question:

The Bohr model for the spectra of a H-atom

A. Will not be applicable: to hydrogen in the molecular form

B. Will not be applicable as it is for a He-atom

C. Is valid only at room temperature

D. Predicts continuous as well as discrete spectral lines

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A, B only

A, B, C only

A, B, D only

B, C, D only

Correct Answer:

A, B only

Explanation:

The Bohr model of atom is applicable to atoms only and not to molecules. Also not applicable as it is for ‘He’ as 'He' contain 2 electrons.

It is specifically designed for ‘H’ or ‘H’ like atoms only(one electron system) although its valid at all temperatures but it could not predict the continuous as well as discrete spectral lines.

Thus only statement (A) and (B) are correct.
