Question:

Which of the following statements about the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is false.

Options:

Acceleration of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit

Angular momentum of electron in n = 2 orbit is more than that in n = 1 orbit

Kinetic energy of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit

Potential energy of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit

Correct Answer:

Potential energy of electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit

Explanation:

As n increases P.E. also increases.
