The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the hydrogen atom are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1**: "The rotational frequency of an electron in an orbit of radius r is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit." - **Analysis**: The frequency of an electron in a circular orbit is given by the formula \( f \propto \frac{1}{r^{3/2}} \). This means that the frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius cubed, not directly proportional to the cube of the radius. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **wrong**. 2. **Statement 2**: "The linear momentum is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius of the orbit." - **Analysis**: The linear momentum \( p \) of the electron in an orbit is given by \( p \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}} \). This means that as the radius increases, the linear momentum decreases, which supports the statement. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement 3**: "The total energy of the system is inversely proportional to the radius of the orbit." - **Analysis**: The total energy \( E \) of the electron in a hydrogen atom is given by \( E \propto -\frac{1}{r} \). This indicates that the total energy is indeed inversely proportional to the radius of the orbit. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement 4**: "The magnetic moment is proportional to the square of the radius of the orbit." - **Analysis**: The magnetic moment \( \mu \) is related to the angular momentum and is given by \( \mu \propto r^2 \). This means that the magnetic moment is indeed proportional to the square of the radius of the orbit. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: The only wrong statement regarding the hydrogen atom is **Statement 1**.
