The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of the statements about the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement (i)**: "The acceleration of the electron in `n = 2` orbit is more than that in `n = 1` orbit." - The centripetal acceleration \( a \) of the electron in a circular orbit is given by the formula: \[ a = \frac{v^2}{r} \] - According to the Bohr model, the radius \( r \) of the orbit is given by: \[ r_n = n^2 \cdot r_1 \] where \( r_1 \) is the radius of the first orbit. - As \( n \) increases, the radius \( r \) increases, which means that the acceleration decreases because the electron is moving in a larger circle. - Therefore, the acceleration in the \( n = 2 \) orbit is **less** than that in the \( n = 1 \) orbit. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. 2. **Analyze Statement (ii)**: "The angular momentum of the electron in `n = 2` orbit is more than that in `n = 1` orbit." - The angular momentum \( L \) of the electron in the Bohr model is given by: \[ L = n \cdot \frac{h}{2\pi} \] - Since \( n \) is greater for the \( n = 2 \) orbit than for the \( n = 1 \) orbit, the angular momentum in the \( n = 2 \) orbit will be greater. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. 3. **Analyze Statement (iii)**: "The `KE` of the electron in `n = 2` orbit is more than that in `n = 1` orbit." - The kinetic energy \( KE \) of the electron in the Bohr model is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - The kinetic energy is also related to the principal quantum number \( n \) as follows: \[ KE \propto \frac{1}{n^2} \] - Therefore, as \( n \) increases, the kinetic energy decreases. Thus, the kinetic energy in the \( n = 2 \) orbit is **less** than that in the \( n = 1 \) orbit. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **false**. ### Final Summary: - Statement (i): **False** - Statement (ii): **True** - Statement (iii): **False** Thus, the correct statements are only (ii).
